My recommendation for that is to get American Truck Simulator and the Oregon and Washington packs. It does a great job of capturing most of the scenery of the area in a scale you can easily consume, without stressful or tedious gameplay (unless you find driving in games tedious). If you’d prefer to drive a regular car instead of a truck, there are plenty of cars available in the Steam workshop.

I was confused because despite the title suggesting she’s a TERF, this sounds on the face of it like a pretty trans-inclusive statement.

Which doesn’t apply to Khelif in any way that anyone has been able to prove, and which she and the IOC has denied even being tested for. This was a rumor from a disgraced Russian testing firm and spread by Russian state media after Khelif beat a Russian boxer. So why are you mentioning it here?

Yeah, seems to have gone from daily to weekly in the latest beta, which will still be annoying, but far less so than it had been lately. I legit thought it was a bug because I shouldn’t need to authorize app permissions on a daily (or even weekly) basis.

Used to live in Irvine and I remember there were some pretty active geocachers who were responsible for a lot of the caches in that area. Just be careful hunting around Irvine PD, I’ve been stopped by them for “suspicious behavior” before.

The funny thing about that is that what makes Hypnospace Outlaw so good is that the era of the internet it portrays was exactly that diverse and inclusive! Yes, there were both women and PoC creating stuff on it long before there were chuds going around calling everything woke. And, you still spend a good portion of that game moderating flame wars between two teenage boys over their made-up girlfriends. So I don’t know where he’s getting an idea that the game is anything but a realistic depiction of that era. Maybe if his awareness of Internet culture only began in the 2010s.

It’s like the ending of Silicon Valley. Maybe they’re trying to shit their pants so badly that nobody will ever try to make another device like this.

Scientists: We’ve been trying to reach you about your spaceship’s extended warranty…

Florida also defers to the voting rights in the state where the judgment happened for convictions outside of Florida. And New York lets felons vote. Therefore, Trump can vote in Florida under Florida election law.

Maybe if our news ever reported on him like that, we wouldn’t be back here again.

Death of the Author doesn’t really work when the author is still alive, profiting off the work, and gets to decide which new projects get an official stamp of approval. Plus, she’s absolutely delusional enough to believe that her continued royalties off the franchise justify her views and that people must secretly agree with her.

There’s enough other great works out there to put your time and effort into building an expanded world around, if that’s your thing, written by authors who are far kinder and more talented than Rowling. Might I suggest Ursula LeGuin or Terry Pratchett for some light and enjoyable fantasy?

There’s quite a crowd of eager aurora watchers at Carkeek Beach at 10:30, but no light show yet.

What I don’t understand is why. This sounds like way more work than spinning up some out-of-the-box framework with oAuth or a Google login and hosting it on Lambda or Azure. What is logging in on a VM box even going to do for the device?

Yeah, I was on the fence and now I wish I had bought it. I’d still get my money back and I’d have a cool cosplay prop.

Looks like it’s a no-go for Destiny 2. Here’s a useful site to check next time. https://www.protondb.com/app/1085660

I wonder how much it affects libraries that I can also walk a block in any direction and find a Little Free Library in one of my neighbor’s front yards. These certainly don’t replace the need for libraries, but I’d also have to pass up a lot of free books on my way to the library if I ever ran out of reading material.

So happy they brought Steam Powered Giraffe back to do the soundtrack.

A TV show centered around superheroes was a novel concept in 2006. In a post-Marvel vs DC world, not so much.

I found out something shocking that could be related to this. AWDL, the proprietary protocol behind AirDrop, will exclusively use channel 6 on 2.4ghz networks and channel 49 (in the US) on 5ghz networks to find any nearby clients, and it’ll look for them about once a second. That means if your WiFi network isn’t broadcasting on those channels, any Apple device that doesn’t have AirDrop disabled will constantly be switching WiFi channels to check for this and switching back. I learned this when trying to get VR streaming over WiFi to a Vision Pro and found very consistent lag spikes once a second until I changed channels on my WiFi router.

Scotland was literally willing to leave the UK over this. I wouldn’t be putting money on Joanne to come out on top here.
