Ukraine ought to bomb this:

I doubt the average Russian gives a shit about P-wad’s expansion ambitions. Make the fight personal to the culprit.

Summer is like 40C. Winter is 13C.

More like “Dammit, my domain auto-remewed again. Oh well, it’s only $12. I’ll cancel next year.” (It’s been 5 years.)

I am around $450 per month in the summer, $75 in the winter. Texas. My rate is nominally $0.087 per kwh, but the taxes make it roughly twice that. I have a big house, but it is pretty energy efficient - 2015 construction with mostly Energy Star appliances. I charge a Nissan Leaf daily.

Having used an expensive Metcal, I would like someone to develop that level of performance for less. I want the precise thermostat and high quality tips, but I don’t solder enough to justify the expense. I am happy to see iFixit driving innovation in this market though. Weller needs some real competition.

I have been playing it for 6 years. The gun play is great. It gets regular updates. I still have fun. I wish the pvp player pool was bigger so that match making would work better.

I don’t think this game even lasted long enough for word of mouth to have popularized it. I didn’t hear about it until it was dead. I am wondering how many players Helldivers 2 had at 11 days (not a great example because it was an existing IP with existing fans). Could they have made it if the game had actually been good? I am not sure. Shutting down super fast got them more publicity than anything else they did.

Terrorism is an inchoate concept. History is written by the victors. American terrorists dumped tea in Boston Harbor, but they were freedom fighters and revolutionaries because they prevailed. On the flip side, Israel killed a terrorist. How do I know they were a terrorist? Because Israel wouldn’t have killed them otherwise.

Overall, other responders have good answers - equal rights, freedoms, and opportunities. Plenty of bread and circuses. I can’t be motivated to be a terrorist because I would sacrifice too much changing the status quo.

“I don’t want them leaving the building … I don’t want them walking down the road for a cup of coffee." Dude… I would pay money for a cage match between this wanker and the Starbucks CEO (commuting by private jet wanker). Ideally, they’d mortally wound each other.

Gvim. I even write documents in it and then paste them into Word for final formatting.

I literally make a new branch. clone, and use an external merge tool (beyond compare) when my branch has fallen too far behind. I don’t trust any of the automated processes.

When bitcoin first came out I looked into out of academic curiosity. I owned a high end video card. I never bothered mining because “I don’t have any desire to buy drugs on silkroad.”

I have a similar coating on my deck in the back yard. I can stand on it barefoot comfortably in the summer which is not possible without the coating.

Unless you work a trade, I would go with Harbor Freight for everything except cordless tools. If you wear the Harbor Freight tool out replace it with something higher quality. For cordless, I don’t know. I have Dewalt and wonder about others. I mostly avoid cordless now.

For trades, see what your coworkers are using. Do you want them borrowing your batteries? (No) Do you want to borrow theirs? (Do you want them to dislike you?)

Lich. The power that other famous examples like Darth Cheney and Henry Kissinger had is just too tempting.

It had misogyny and racism to push it over the top for worst game. ET was just an unplayable mess that disappointed kids my age. Custer’s Revenge is a borderline hate crime that should have gotten everyone involved fired.

You can hire a lot of programmers for the cost of one CEO.

A post-doc that occasionally taught one of my electrical engineering classes in the mid-90s liked to call master-slave flip-flops professor-graduate student flip-flops. I later learned he was not making a joke.

We are the mailed fist of the Emperor!

I’m not saying there is no reason to be depressed. I’m just saying there is nothing that can be done, so focus on things that make you happy - like dead billionaires trying to visit the Titanic.
