Ha! I love it, this needs to happen!

If you want to dig deeper on how the company Fervo works, the CEO did an interview with David Roberts of Volts last year which was pretty interesting. This stuff isn’t hypothetical, it’s working right now, and apparently it’s profitable. I know huge portions of electricity demand can be addressed through wind and solar, perhaps at lower cost than enhanced geothermal for now, but the ability of enhanced geothermal to keep producing energy when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine is really key.

With a 2025 release, is may not even come out for Switch, it may release on Switch 2/successor.

Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain. Quite a learning curve, but I loved the different ways you can win (conquest, trade, black ops) and how much you could customize your ships or pick unique races with tolerances for different planets.

Game strategy advice for a 30+ year old game? I love this so much, you guys are awesome.

omg YES. Nothing I have found since then has quite scratched the same itch of flying around with a friend on some random dude’s server. So much fun!

Here’s some background on the tensions and policies that have led to anti-avocado militias in some regions of Mexico:

Puppy was going to me my suggestion too, before I read that you’d already used it. Maybe try some of the other versions? If you used a Debian- or Ubuntu-based Puppy, you could try a Slack-based one, or vice-versa. Puppy’s organization is a little confusing, in my opinion, but it does give a user some options. You also might try some of the “puplets” that aren’t official Puppy distros but are part of the Puppy family.

For real? I’m definitely seeing more teenagers on ebikes where I live. Which kind of impresses me, actually, because my community isn’t exactly a bike-friendly place. Honestly, some of the teens are kind of punks who are a bit annoying, or cut across the lawns of businesses or churches when they shouldn’t, but it sure is a cheaper way to get around and it’s less dangerous to other people on the road than if they were driving cars.

Justice Sotomayor is the greatest risk, and she could have engineered her exit earlier this year. Remember that in November. Dems aren’t even playing the same game.

I had one of these plans for over a decade. It was fun while it lasted—I won’t be staying with the company after this.

Trees might drop very hostile acorns

I wish I didn’t know exactly to what you referring.

I’ll just add that both officers were such bad shots that they missed the man handcuffed and strapped down in the back of their own squad car. smdh.

Native support. 👍 I haven’t played it yet, but at this price I’ll give it a try.

Any department that actually buys one of these turkeys is going to be very unhappy about the maintenance costs. Can’t park under trees, can’t let it get rained on, and if you’re in a medium-speed accident, the lack of crumple zone will injure your officers at higher rates.

I thought the allegations were that the Alitos were using the extra security officers given to them as part of the intimidation. Armed officers are always a danger.

The NYC/MTA budget was calculated based on congestion revenue. The budget hole this creates is a huge problem. This was a capitulation that probably won’t win Gov. Hochel any votes, but it certainly will throw NYC tax and budgets in disarray. Twenty-five years in the making, and she chickens out 3 weeks before. I’m just shaking my head.

I guess it’s your business, if you want your bar to lose money, that’s your choice.

It’s always been remarkable how much editorial independence student editors of law reviews have. Now we see universities betraying their free speech principles because power trumps ethics every time if it thinks it can get away with it.

Good point. As I understand it, the Cybertruck’s stock tires are not, in fact, a good tire choice.

Who else watched this and thought of the jailbreak scene at the beginning of The Goonies?
