Imagine growing up and remembering the one time Uncle Derrick took pictures with you and then took your family out to a nice dinner.

And then you realize they were just using your likeness to push restrictions of reproductive rights.

I hope you meant “much like with foreign people” and don’t actually mean to say that foreign people don’t pursue understanding and instead lash out.

I really hope to see more developments in the realm of gravity batteries. In many cases they are not geographically constrained, given that it only requires vertical space and mass. Ideally, the land already has high variation in elevations, but the storage capacity can still be increased in areas with little vertical space by increasing the mass of the weight being lifted/lowered.

I’m sure you know this, but for curious readers: pumped hydro is also a gravity battery, but it requires two bodies of water at differing elevation. This means it’s limited to coastal areas and places like dams. It’s also limited by the smaller capacity reservoir between the two bodies of water; the amount of water moved cannot exceed the maximum capacity of the upper body, nor can it exceed the extra capacity of the resevoir of the upper body.

If anything, being very strict about food intake usually leads to unhealthy eating behavior, at least according to every person I know who has issues with food in either direction. Including myself.

Bastion has a slew of great soundtracks and environments, and I found the story very impactful. Highly recommend trying the game if you can!

IEEE is in shambles right now!

Ordered a pair of Moondrop Chu IEMs, mostly for the eartips that come with them. Pair was defective, so I contacted the seller and demonstrated that one ear doesn’t work. Got a full refund without return, ordered a new pair, and ended up with two sets of those eartips.

I gave away the second pair equipped with generic eartips to a friend who recently broke his earbuds. I also snipped the dead earbud, heatshrunk the wires, and I use the single earbud for when I’m washing the dishes or doing the laundry. Very nice outcome for me!

What input did you play on? The camera was fine for me on mouse and keyboard, which is funny because From games are usually pretty bad on m&k. Terrain navigation was at its worst when invisible walls were plentiful, but overall, I didn’t struggle with navigation. Also, as someone who is mildly familiar with JTTW, the story was a bit confusing but followable.

Redout 1 and 2 are great fun if I’m in the mood for lap times, but I hate racing against the NPCs.

My level 1 Elden Ring run. I’m up to Morgott, and I really should run around to grab more talismans, weapon upgrades, etc. I just don’t have the patience to do so.

Been throwing myself at the wall and fighting him, but the best I’ve managed is getting him to 33% health. I’m enjoying it, but it’s not something I can stick to for more than one session a week… getting 1-shot gets pretty frustrating.

Midjourney skills

I think that’s an oxymoron…

Ctrl+Win+V doesn’t do anything for me. The best part about Eartrumpet for me is that you can manage all audio outputs on your system individually. Since I use a virtual mixer, this makes it easy to adjust everything without being to open the mixer, as well as making sure each program is outputting audio to the right place.

+1 for EarTrumpet

It’s probably the most useful program I have on my Win10 machine.

Testikles would like to know your location

I very much agree with your third sentence. If your cheap tool wears out, it’s because you need that tool often or for rigorous scenarios. Good to get a nicer tool for that job.

A small and simple semi-idle frog collecting game where you simply collect rare frogs and let them generate buckaroos so you can collect rarer frogs. There’s a free demo that got me hooked to occasionally logging on and collecting more frogs.

I mean, she did post a video where’s laughing at a comedian doing a routine that was making jokes about the conflict… and she was also part of the crowd that warned against the rise of antisemitism due to the conflict…

But also it’s just random racism to point that out apparently.

GPS: Goblin’s Perfect Sense (but in the phone)

Studies show that 100% of serial killers have Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) in their bodies while committing murder!

I got a 12700KF for free.

I’m not one to complain about that :)
