Looks like they had to do something different than Mario Kart 8 and they did. The game looks interesting.

It isn’t interesting enough to buy, but then I figured I might sit this generation out.

It is a simple solution to a complicated problem. For a segment of society, it sounds good enough.

If you are going to list job experience, make sure to use active verbs to describe tasks and try to show that you were working beyond the role.

If you get an interview, be able to talk about what is on your resume.

It really depends on if they try to assert sentience before or not. You can justify a slave killing a slaveowner ethically, but I don’t know if you justify a tree shredder killing its operator.

You would need a solvent that would break down organic molecules that create the strength for plastic. Acid isn’t good at breaking that down.

Any material that could break down plastic would also break down everything that makes food useful for a body.

Well, if it was a Richard Hammond attack, it would probably crash itself.

Done. I also changed the numbers before, but then I didn’t verify that I broke the link.

I figured. That’s why I didn’t run it.

I did, it was that link.

And then I posted it here.

Lemmy is nowhere near close to diverting developer resources to that.

Probably nothing, since Putin wants to encourage future defectors.

The market is to optimize for max human eyesight, which is a horizontal aspect ratio. For edge cases, a monitor can be converted to a vertical aspect ratio easily.

There really isn’t a large market to go square. If anything, monitors have gotten wider over time.

Sister wanted to get a job doing art and ended up getting an offer to work as an illustrator for a publishing company. One of her parents was all in in this. The other parent asked me to look out over to see if it was real or not. Turns out it was a scam I found out from 5 minutes of web searching. I had to be the one to break the news and the parent who was all in on the idea didn’t seem fazed that this was likely a scam since “there was a chance it was real”.

Nothing was signed, but I had to take the hit of standing in the way of the sister’s success.

I don’t trust public wired charging ports to anything other my mobile battery.

Since I can’t verify if a weird charging port won’t upload malware on site, I’d use wireless charging instead.

I thought the last scene was a bit of a cop out.

That’s an entirely different situation all together now.

Eat some good barbeque.

I think about that in regards to World War II.

As bad as the destruction of World War II was, it could have been a lot worse if technology had developed an additional decade. Hell, having nuclear weapons first deployed as a weapon of mass destruction helped keep it from being deployed in later wars.

Maybe the USA was going to go fascist no matter what, so time travelers picked the most incompetent fascist.

Long term, Americans have been bad at making idiots feel shame for their idiocy. There is less of a societal push to make people conform to societal pressure. On one end, this leads to great creative freedom for artists. On the other end, it creates the born again movement.

Medium term, LBJ oversaw the collapse of economic leftism as he was trying to include civil rights legislation and the Vietnam War. This lead to the stagnation of American salaries, but it took a while for people to notice that quality of life wasn’t improving for everyone. Also, conservatives realized they could create parallel media in a way to control public sentiment.

Short term, the Great Recession and COVID made it clear that quality of life wasn’t as bulletproof as people thought. As a response, some people want to bring back “the good old days”, not realizing/remembering that the good old days had a lot of bad to it that was covered up.

Or Clooney’s character in Up In The Air ends up retiring in Florida, making him a very eligible bachelor.
