The learning cliff of the X games is pretty intense but totally worth it. I made it through and just look at me now! I, err… wasn’t going to do anything better with those hundreds of hours anyway.

Hell yes. Mine lived in my big hoodie pocket, hole poked through so I could run my headphone cable invisibly. Headphones lived in the hood when I wasn’t wearing them (basically never). I was the coolest 🤣

Thank you for detailing this. I’m no fan of OSX or Apple the company but the quality of their laptop hardware is undeniable. They’re really good at it.

We definitely have blackberries. We don’t really have blackcurrants though, may be thinking of that?

They’re significantly faster than boiling water on the stove here in the US too.

I have an electric kettle because I’m a tea drinker. Not gonna lie though, it did take a while before I realized I could just generally boil water in the thing. One day, looking directly at the kettle while I filled a pot with water, the dusty light bulb in my head finally lit up. 😅

Well that just sounds like New Jersey.

MegaZeux!

Yep.

Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd.

Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd. was a 1983 legal case heard by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by Judge Robert W. Sweet. In their complaint, Universal Studios alleged that Nintendo’s video game Donkey Kong was a trademark infringement of King Kong, the plot and characters of which Universal claimed as their own. Nintendo argued that Universal had themselves proven that King Kong’s plot and characters were in the public domain in Universal City Studios, Inc. v. RKO General, Inc.

Rules are rules!

For online racing, ACC and iRacing are unmatched.

I contracted the iRacing sickness this year. The online is indeed unmatched but I’d argue the single player racing is also best in class.

The iRacing AI is actually fun to race against and nothing else comes close to the level of customization per-racer. You can build whole custom rosters with individual behaviors. If you’re so inclined you can even share all this stuff through communities like Trading Paints and Race Department.

iRacing is a hole with no bottom. Both time-wise and monetarily. Even to do AI-only you’re still paying the subscription and one-time content prices. It really is the best though.

There’s also Night-Runners which is very much influenced by the TXR/Shutoko Battle games. It’s an in-development crowd funded game, so take from that what you will, but there’s a demo up on Steam as Night-Runners Prologue.

It is a pretty impressive demonstration of the error correction built into QR codes.

Second this. A friend and I just finished up a full co-op main game + DLC run and it was a blast!

Can you expand on this? I’m curious what you find ableist about it.

Sure they can but I always appreciate when someone owns up to their mistakes and leaves them. Pobody’s nerfect and it’s nice to see I’m not alone in making mistakes.

My cat loves these so much. He just walked into the room and I assume it’s because he sensed the image of these treats being displayed on my phone.

Once I’m in the air my backpack goes from under the seat to under my knees. Then I can stick my feet under the seat for that extra few inches of stretch. It’s not a whole lot but it does help.

I feel like there’s a whole slice of the millennial generation that lived this exactly. I did eventually get my Game Boy back from my mom and big sister but it took a while.

Still only on the laser printers though. In my experience Brother inkjets have become trash like all the rest.

This looks like grub2-mkconfig was run with the output mistakenly set to /etc/default/grub. Someone ran

grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/default/grub

Instead of

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
