The Bucees logo tells me this is probably going to affect Texas more than other regions.

These are good rays.

Uh oh. What did Ubisoft do this time?

They only talk about BG&E2 when they are about to be raked over the coals for some heinous shit they did.

The Case of the Golden Idol. It’s a great little detective game with an interesting premise.

It’s AC now, but in the desperate beforetimes it was getting into a shower at the temperature of my skin, then getting out and not drying off to allow for further evaporative cooling(Thank god its not humid where I live)

This is true. Albeit, a little misleading as the vast majority of that gas will be converted to CO2 rather than released as methane, but this province wont ever do anything to help the environment as the only goal.

I’m happy to take the wins where I can. This is not the best choice, but it’s still a positive change.

In my whole life, mowing the lawn was fun exactly once.

It was the first time that I got to mow the lawn at the house that I just bought. Every other time Ive had to do it, it sucks.

Isnt this basically just a late 2000s take on what The Lost Boys was in the mid 80s?

I wonder if that would sometimes be a desirable trait in farmed bees in areas with a lot of predators or competitors.

Like, the human knows that protection will be required and will suit up accordingly, but the ants, wasps or bears that try to rob the hive will be much less successful.

Its a tax scheme.

The pharmacy claims this medication is worth $275, insurance covers $40, and then they get as much as they can out of the patient while claiming the rest as a loss they can write off on their taxes.

US healthcare is stupid.

It depends on the plastic and the acid involved.

Most plastics are unreactive with most acids. Sometimes, like with Hydrofluoric acid, it must be stored in plastic, because it can dissolve glass.

He was a raving homeless man who frequently masturbated in public and antagonized anyone who would approach him. However, beyond all that he was one of the smartest people in the ancient world and lived life never comporimising his principles.

It wouldn’t work. Its way harder to debunk claims than it is to make them because the debunker is required to provide proof.

If the debunkers claims are not credible then you just end up with twice as much spam under every post

This feels like a really good idea. I hope we get this in Canada too

You dont need to remind us to sympathize with the people you laid off, Phil. Thats the whole reason why your PR is bad right now.

Its the best when you buy an LP and get a download code for the album as well.

I listen to LPs mostly when I want music to be the primary thing im doing. There is a whole ritual involved with putting a record on. Whereas, sometimes I just want to listen to something while I’m doing dishes or driving, and then playing an MP3 over a Bluetooth speaker from my phone is just infinitely more convenient.

Man, that fucking sucks.

I lost my sense of smell for about a month when I got Covid for the first time and it was torture.

The scale on this graph cant be accurate.

Its not a similar jump in effot between a parakeet and a cat as a cat and a horse.

Mid-range GPUs still exist, they just dont get the same coverage as the top-end cards. An RTX 4060 is set at $300 which is much cheaper than a PS5 or Series X

This is an interesting take. Historically, the main benefits to console gaming were 2 things:

• Consoles are cheaper than PCs

• Games require no config and and are guaranteed to be compatible

Nether of these is really the case anymore. For the price of a PS5 or a Series X you could get a midrange gaming PC with similar performance.

Regarding complexity, we kind of met in the middle. Long gone are the days when you could just pop a disc in the tray of your playstation or xbox and start playing, every game requires an install now. And on the PC side, you very rarely need to configure settings to get a game to a playable state. Hell, you dont really even need to manually install drivers anymore.

Of course, as the article points out, none of this applies to Nintendo and those consoles are still worth buying.

My guess for the future is that if Microsoft and Sony are going to hang around in the hardware space, they’re going to make something akin to the steam deck, but locked to their own storefront. And then they’ll wonder why people are still choosing PCs over their hardware.
