I tried retail again last year in a similar way, they’ve actually built so much mechanics now to catch up. But it still felt like a massive task to catch up to actual active players. Private server is a good shout, I’ll take a look next time I get the itch.

If I could I’d still be playing wow but it’s just not the same without the plentiful free time for it.

Perfect is the enemy of good. There are so many people at least here in Europe that fly easy-jet/ryanair 1h to 2h flights, these could all still work with propeller planes. But frankly I’m just wondering why I can’t get subsidized trains that would be actually affordable. Right now it remains cheaper to drive all alone in my car than get an Eurostar ticket unless I planned it months in advance (spoilers: I can’t plan months in advance most of the time with my work).

I never watched his stuff in his “glory” days of yore, but he popped up in videos from Magnus the bouldering/rock climbing guy, and that showed him under a new light. Then I saw his Linux arc and started gaining more respect for him. It seems he’s kind of retired from the brain dead content and now has that new dad energy which I vibe with a lot more. Still not watching him regularly though, I don’t know what the rest of his content is like.

Still hurts.

Hopefully good, I haven’t seen the final final cut that’s gonna play tonight but the last one I saw was already very solid, everyone worked hard and good. Lots of industry people coming etc we’re all hoping it might be the start of further adventures, fingers crossed!

Tonight is the première of the first short film I DP’d (director of photography). Excited and a bit nervous!

Can’t tell if you’re taking the piss haha.

Yes it’s the right long term goal, but the US is nowhere near ready for strong nationalised enterprises, they would just stop getting funding and die. There is a requirement for strong, positive minded government and a shared understanding of the benefits of having nationalised societal services before it can work.

I’m not 100% sure with a leaf like this, I feel like the high moisture content would stop any propagation of charring, so if there was discoloration it would be very thin. But yeah it’s been hand cut so problem solved.

Middle option: the design was made digitally (by “hand” or AI), and then they used a laser cutter to cut the leaf.

The lines of the drawing definitely feel a bit too perfect for it to be fully manual, they scream “vector” to me.

Edit: I see now it was the surprise third option, they’re Japanese and it’s meticulously hand crafted (probably also folded over a thousand times).

I think the point virgule depends if you’re from France or Québec. I learned it with no space before it and seems this table confirms that. This similar one from a Quebec source seems to be saying you can do either.

Nah not at all tbh, you can get very smooth deceleration with it and it doesn’t feel floaty or whatever, it does take a tiny adjustment to how you drive, you don’t coast anymore but rather you can finely control your deceleration by how much you lift the accelerator, it’s quite nice to be honest I always drive it in that mode (even if it’s not real one pedal).

I think some cars also turn on the hazards automatically if you really hammer the breaks.

Yeah my electric 208 is kinda like that (if I remember the video well, watched it a while ago) but since it’s Europe there actually is a regulation about how much a car can decelerate before break lights come on, so instead of making the system turn the lights on they throttle how much it can decelerate for recharge and still makes you use the break to use full regen (and eventually the actual brakes, of course). So it’s not a real “one pedal driving”.

This is particularly painful for all these middle-men companies like booking.com, eBay/equivalents, Uber, etc etc. So much wasted resources that is literally only there to extract as much as they can from transactions between two other parties, really all that’s needed from these services is a functioning platform, something 3 motivated engineers could probably maintain (exaggerating for effect).

All this stuff should be either open source or nationalised.

That very much depends on whether they’re a Parisian or not. Though even if they’re Parisian it’s still 50/50.

I honestly assumed it meant range as a translation since I often hear people mean that as it’s the number 1 thing everyone asks/talks about. I’m in Europe and km countries say “consumption” or whatever local language equivalent (for the countries I know). The Brits say mileage. Whether it’s electricity or gas shouldn’t matter when talking about mileage though right, just a straight swap?

Edit: Just reading my first comment again I do sound like you can say range instead of mileage (literally), my bad, brain translated idea badly :/ they’re two different concepts, but usually people talk a lot more about range with EVs and I still suspect that might’ve been what op meant.

For EVs you can say range instead of mileage.
