I mean, it’s good but “E for Everyone” is also available.

Well shit. I guess I can’t play it anymore. There’s still duotrigordle, waffle, and a million others though. Plus I was starting to see ads on the app.

The clusters of white dots that form a white curved line next to the yellow ones?

I’m speaking mainly of the distrust against the public having access for fear that we’d abuse it and not give them a cut. We can’t have access to these things now, but we used to. Regardless of form, regardless of piracy.

It’s more of a move to restrict ownership when you make a purchase, that has a farther reach than just games. I could see this being applied to cars, houses, etc. In that you only rent a license, and don’t actually own anything. I see this as just a first step, and the logic they use to justify it doesn’t make sense.

Now what IS “Attempted Murder”, anyway? Do they give out Nobel Prizes for “attempted chemistry”?

We used to rent these games from Blockbuster Video! On DVD when we had DVD burners and little to no drm! How did it suddenly not become acceptable?

Oh no, they’re putting denuvo on it? Man I loved the first game. I don’t think they even had anything close to a problem with piracy because it was a huge hit. Like, it not only did amazing for Warhorse Studios, but it made a huge tourism jump for the region.

That’s a bummer, and as much as I want to support KC:D II, I can’t support denuvo.

Mixing water and sand? Is he referring to the Falling Sand game? Just missing wax and fire. What a throwback.

I love shakshuka, but only had it as a dinner. I’ll have to try it as a brunch. My understanding is it’s kind of made with whatever’s on hand, but mine looks like yours. It’s delicious! We try to make naan or some other kind of bread to go with it, as well.

Companies didn’t vet them, and outside to other as companies. Turns out they didn’t do any due diligence, and let viruses leak through. That’s when people really started blocking them.

If it happens past your lifetime, it doesn’t matter. So for sure it’ll pass. These sayings are meant to apply to you, not history.

I look back to the serenity prayer, which is really just a bit of Buddhism: “Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

The Buddhist path is “why is there suffering in the world?” Because of attachment. You want things to stay the same. Things change. You want your parents to live forever. You don’t want to be sick. You wish your job didn’t suck. Why can’t I just win the lottery and have my problems go away? You want to cling to the good times and not have the bad. You can let go of the bad, and the resultant suffering because of it will fade. Letting go is incredibly hard, because our biological bodies are hard wired on routines. But if you can overcome that, and accept that whatever happened, happened, you can move forward. You can’t change the past. And whether you like it or not, time and the world moves forward. You can move forward with it, or let something hold you back.

And just to clarify, I’m an atheist, so my understanding of both the Serenity Prayer and Buddhism are seen through the lense of someone that doesn’t believe in an afterlife or religion in general (strict Buddhism is not a religion). I encourage you to find your own conclusions.

Those old tv shows where they casually eat breakfast before work make more sense. They weren’t up at 6, rushing to get to work by 8. They had a whole hour more.

I bought a cheap Vizio, and never connected it or let it connect to anything. All it does is power on, and go to HDMI-1. My pc it connects to does everything else.

If you’re concerned about privacy on your tv, I would recommend migrating away from Roku as well.

Well sure, but the alternative is to stop being the absolute richest people to have ever existed. Surely the existence of all humans is worth less than that!

They will try to buy their way out of it. On an individual level. Water shortage, they’ll pay more for water. They’ll pay top dollar to keep the a/c on, etc. when no amount of money will help and they didn’t plan ahead with Zuckerberg-style bunkers, they’ll just die like the rest of us.

And the billionaires will possibly be killed in their expensive bunkers, if the Fallout series taught us anything.

That might be one of the scariest things he’s said so far. I’ll send this to my friend and relatives that support Trump but aren’t actually citizens (crazy I know, but I’m in Oklahoma where fox news is on every public tv). Maybe this will snap some of them out of it finally.

Maybe like… Kill All Humans?

It’s so weird you immediately list the differences between Stein and Harris, but not Trump. Totally unprompted. Considering that a third party is going against the other two, that’s odd. Almost like you know exactly what you’re doing, but won’t admit it.

I would, too. Which is the more exciting job? Unfortunately there probably isn’t much call for a trebuchet bombardment these days.

That’s actually happening, and isn’t an effect. They’re using analogue recorders because that’s good/cheap enough to blow up after one use. There’s a bit of a delay to process and transmit the signal, so it cuts out during the last bit of processing before it even registers the hit.

Which does make piloting it a bit tricky, too. And if you’ve ever flown any type of drone, you probably noticed it’s faster than your reaction time, which makes these skilled attacks even more impressive to me. But I guess they also have a lot of practice, by now!
