Looks like the plastic deformation point was placed before the elastic point.

Pop-tarts are dumplings for sure. They’re cooked dough wrapped around a filling.

This is just a quick list I can think off the top of my head: the trail of tears, slavery, Jim Crow laws, fighting Mexico to gain the west coast, fighting Spain to gain the Philippines, Florida, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, deposing democratically elected governments in Central and South America for cheaper bananas, isolating Cuba from the rest of the world when it turned communist but still keeping possession of Guantanamo Bay, putting down the Boxer Rebellion in China, invading Middle Eastern countries for their oil, fighting the communists in Korea and Vietnam, deposing the Hawaiian government and then annexing it for cheaper pineapples, and leveraging its position at the end of WWII to solidify its hegemony throughout the world via the petrodollar. I’m sure there are plenty of other things I’ve forgotten. The only other imperial power that would compare is England up until WWII.

Vista sucked for sure, but Windows 7 was pretty great IMO. I was dragged kicking and screaming into the shit that’s Windows 10 because Steam stopped supporting 7.

That’s the bowling ball-sized manifestation of my cheesy carbo dreams. It’s disheartening to find out it’s not real.

Looks like one strong swing would’ve made the bullets and powder charges go flying out the barrels without being fired.

They’re no longer communist and they’re getting a lot of money from Putin so they don’t give a shit. Similar deal with China. They may be communist on paper but they still play ball with them by giving the corporations a place to build shit with cheap labor and materials. They also have a huge consumer base so you better believe these stupid McCarthyists are fondling Xi Jinping’s balls for acess to their markets.

Any path that takes us to unlimited clean energy is the right one IMO. We could always do a little espionage and make our own domestic fusion drive eventually.

Fear Effect was always one of those games I passed by on store shelves but never tried. Might have to give it a try when it’s out.

I wonder when these protests will turn into actual oil executive assassinations like in Ministry for the Future. We’re already rushing our way into a heat wave mass death event.

Or starts brush fires because their infrastructure’s horribly neglected.

As a native straight Spanish speaker, I’d like to thank you for so eloquently explaining many of my problems with this way of referring to people’s genders. There’s no way the language would survive if we were to adapt to these gender neutral modifiers. Spanish is a gendered language and if we were to adapt to these non binary gender terms, we’d also have to apply it for about half our vocabulary. We’d all have to agree a washing machine for example is now no longer a female lavadora, but rather a lavadore or lavadorx. It’d be impossible to gather the entire Spanish speaking community across dozens of countries to agree on the general way standardize this.

Also it has to be easily readable.

That’s a tall order for a state that has a terrible education system.

For isometric RPGs Arcanum truly was unique. The dialogue and story was polished to a brilliant shine in a fantasy world going through the industrial revolution. The soundtrack composed entirely of a somber string ensemble added so much to the narrative and feel of the world, as if its magic was slowly dying out to make way for industrial expansion and exploitation. It stands up there along with the original Fallouts and Planescape: Torment. It’s a tragedy a sequel was never made. The only modern game that comes close to the aesthetics is the Pillars of Eternity franchise.

Everybody wants to save the world. They just want it done their way.

Where can you get two 16 TB HDDs for $320? Cheapest I could find was a 14TB Toshiba N300 for around $320 each and I’m on the fence about getting them because they’re supposedly pretty noisy. Were the models OP mentioned not for NAS use?

I have a weird issue that happens when I use sponsor block and my phone’s locked in portrait mode. Whenever a sponsorship is skipped in a full screen horizontal video, the screen would set to a vertical view with black bars above and below it. The only solutions are to pause and play the video to reset the horizontal view or set the phone to auto rotate to prevent it.

Mint works pretty well! I’ve never been much of a power user so using its GUI (Cinnamon 'cause I failed miserably at running KDE) to update and install certain programs is pretty convenient.
