IIRC the canon reason they are above the clouds is because of smog.

I think it’s more likely that ppl will simply become the more expected way to spell it. When was the last time you saw someone write out etcetera, and ASAP is common in all but the most formal of settings.

it is practically essential for space travel/colonization in the long term.

Seems like it’s pretty important we not burn through our finite reserves of it if we can help it. I’m not saying we should reach zero nuclear, but I don’t think we should be relying on it too much either.

That’s a lot of work on twitches side to keep it hushed which makes this weirder.

I don’t think that’s weird, twitch really doesn’t want the pr of being wrong or having a pedo on their platform, its a lose-lose and I would expect them to try and cover it up regardless.

You wouldn’t neccesarily need to pay attention to the master and all, probably easier to request the video twice from youtube, detect the bits that don’t change, skip timestamps around to only play those bits. Might have a bit of a failure rate if the same ad is served twice, and youtube could fight back by letting creators make slightly different video versions but still better than nothing.

While dramatic, a single engine failing on a commercial flight is not really all that big of a deal, there is a reason they are built with a large amount of redundancy.

According to this the failure rate for the whole industry is about 1 every 375000 flight hours.

This is very back the napkin math, but there are roughly 100k commercial airline pilots in the usa alone, and about 3 pilots per plane. So if they are doing more than 9hours of flight each you’d except one of them to experience an engine failure.

I’m not saying Boeing doesn’t have some problems, the 737max should put some key decision makers in Jail, but these sorts of articles are just feeding into confirmation bias.

Obviously the best choice to switch search engines. But isn’t pressing page down or adding a ruel to your adblock easier than editing the URL?

Crunch is just a reality of any SW released on a schedule. When it’s fairly compensated, relatively rare and still respects the occasional hard no then I don’t think it’s particularly bad. There are times I push for OT in my work so that I can rack up some extra vacation for later in the year when I want it more.

This article is 3 pages stretching out a single sentence quote, we don’t really have enough information to judge in any way.

I’m disappointed. Thirpy is a bit of a killer for me, I think it undermines any competitiveness of the game and frankly just doesn’t feel good in PvP. It also seems to be leaning into the more MOBA side of things. This seems to be the direction a lot of team shooters go, but personally I like the more arena shooter style big fights, I greatly dislike the concept of lanes.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the game won’t be good, but it really doesn’t look like something I personally will enjoy.

I think this is the only time excel hasn’t decided something was a date.

No some of them are the marks.

But if we want to play bad faith statistics games then 5% is roughly the percent of Americans who have gone to prison.

All the ‘advantages’ to crypto seem to me to really be ways of avoiding regulation (or are only advantageous without regulation)

I think steam deck is a pretty good choice from that perspective.

1. There is little vendor lock in, you could upgrade from a deck to a competitor and so long as it uses steam you won’t really be missing out on anything

2. Valve has gone in pretty hard on repairability. so while it may become obsolete (and I don’t think it will for a while, Moores law isn’t what it used to be) it should still be able to run very far down the line.

3. The steam controller and ecosystem planned around it was a financial failure. While there were a hunch of enthusiasts into the steam controller (myself included) it never gained mainstream appeal. The steam machine that it was meant to synergize with did even worse. Otoh the valve index did pretty well and still is quite a popular pick if you wanna get into vr today despite being 5 yrs old, while vr wasnt as successful as i think some wanted (I blame meta for that!) It did carve out a niche for valve that helos there long term plans. The steam deck has been a run away success and also brings a big boost to a lot of valves long term strategies (decoupling from windows, competing with consoles, giving people a reason to stay on steam), and its already seen a refresh. I would be very surprised to not see a steamdeck 2, although it may be a while (valve has stated as much, because they want to make it easy for devs to target steam deck for recommended specs)

Yeah, doing something similar with brackets would be much more effective since that usually doesn’t give a line number. Is there a unicode clone of )?

A check has the same information as a basic account. Any sane company is probably storing it in the same backend too.

Probably bullshui but there’s a 3rd option that they have legal reasons not to operate servers in some of those regions and helldivers was violating those restrictions. It takes more than a week to review the legal code in 180 countries, review the internal policies in place and audit the game for any violations all with the added complexity that arrowhead and sony are independent entities.

The thing with the 3 new countries seems to be a fix by valve, you might notice that there were several invalid country codes in the previous restricted list.

Well apparently it’s programmed to bypass the safety system after 3 attempts under the assumption that the user knows best.

This seems like a really dumb choice, but I can see why an engineer would want to point out that it’s not incompetent engineering but an incompetent business department.

Bonnets cover the engine, evs don’t have engines, and their motors and other important components aren’t always centrally located nor do they need much regular maintenance so the front is sometimes made into a storage compartment, the frunk.

Meta drove me out of vr. Still quite bitter about it.
