Looks good enough to light on fire for all 12 days!

I should post about “red delicious” apples being red but not delicious

Like having characters in the game tattooed with references? Seems there’s a lot of easier ways like naming characters, in dialogue, or a texture for something larger.

But it’s above 0 in 3 of 4 temperature systems

And they killed the original gold years ago when they added platinum which turned into the orgy of trophies

I try to keep 2 bags in my car and the rest in my house, that way I have enough with me for a quick unplanned stop but don’t need to flood my car with bags. With this system I’d need to have 1 bag per store and make sure to always have all of them in my car to avoid not getting points/discounts? Current system where you just use whichever bags and don’t need to worry about what store they originally came from seems simpler.

Does the concept of eternity have any meaning at all? It’s a very philosophically nebulous thing when taken beyond a superficial level. We can’t fathom existing for a huge number of years anymore than we can conceive being the size of the universe. Spiritually being eternally cast into fire could mean to be removed from the being that is everything which is to be nothing forevermore. Or eternity can just mean until the end of time, which could very well be finite.

You’re saying this 12 year old didn’t run away from home, travel from India to UAE alone without proper visa/passport, and then sneak into this UN event with the sign hidden in her socks? Shit, thank God you’re here to clarify that.

Of course she had support from her parents and someone who was able to get her in the door. Most effective acts of protest are heavily organized. That doesn’t detract from anything.

I have a couple scoopfree boxes. It’s just a classic litter box shape with a rake that auto- scoops for you. Doesn’t do anything for pee. It works well for me/my cat. I bought the reusable tray, the disposable ones became really expensive over covid and they don’t handle heavy pee-loads well (plus wasteful). I buy the cheap crystal litter from Walmart, it works as well as their more expensive refills.

The scoopfree is open by default but you can buy a lid for it. My cats really disliked it when the litter box was enclosed so the lid is in my basement now. Does mean I have to vacuum around it occasionally. Smell isn’t bad unless urine builds up in the crystals because the poop is covered (but not “sealed”).

The poop capacity is finite and if you have cats that pee a lot you might have to change the litter more often. I have 2 boxes as I had two cats originally. I had to change it out between once a week and every other week. With 4 cats you’d ideally have more boxes and given cats will often just use the same one anyways, you might need to pull the tray out, dump and wipe it, then refill it up to twice a week.

There’s a configurable delay before the rake activates so it doesn’t scare the cat. There’s also a safety sensor so it doesn’t operate with a passenger.

Much more impressive than my towers of bologna

Makes me kinda wish that when defederating you could select a one word label for why. Like a fixed list with several options like pedo, spam, harassment, abandoned, etc and a default of other. Make it a bit easier with a big list like this to say, oh 1000 of these 1400 all selected “racism” when defederating so it’s probably very racist and I should also defederate. But if it’s a lot of “other” or inconsistent reasons maybe I should spend a bit of time digging.

A billion dollar company doesn’t count as indie anymore? What is the world coming to, next you’ll say corporations aren’t people too.

Even their Experimental Gameplay games from before WoG and Tomorrow Corporation are worth playing if you can find them. That includes Tower of Goo of course but I remember there being a lot of fun ones back in the day.

wtf

Those aren’t hashtags, those aren’t even tags. That’s a freeform category system. What’s old is new again.

Maybe some kids near you are taking driver’s ed lessons and you’re seeing the instructors before or after?

The middle paragraph is so disjoint. It’s only mildly more relevant in the full article.

I know the straight pipes move data between processes and curved pipes go to or from files depending on direction, but what do bolts do?

Give them a Nomad, even with full batteries it only lasts like 5 minutes.
