This is what I have noticed with almost all of the micro commuter cars. They cost more than a Civic; often significantly more. If they were half the price of a Civic I bet people would be all over them.

war is always the worst possible option

I’m currently living in a country that was freed from British colonialism via war. I’m damn happy that war happened, I’m damn happy we have our own country.

The fun problem with isolationism is it just allows problems to fester; then you have something much worse to deal with later. You may want to ignore the world, but the world won’t ignore you.

Edit: An Iranian proxy has been shooting civilian shipping and civilian crews from all countries for the last year. There are problems one cannot simply ignore.

Yep! He is pretty popular and does some nice reviews. He generally likes pointing out negative aspects a bit more. But he is one of the more honest and amusing reviewers out there.

He is the same guy that used to do the Zero Punctuation reviews.

Their ability to make nukes has been delayed several times in the past, another delaying action is likely better than letting them get nukes.

And it was something people were hoping would save the game. But, it’s unfortunately more confirmation that Bethesda can no longer produce quality games.

Internet connected devices are a mistake. Not only is there non-existent security updates for the device, it means there is a timer on the life of the functions of the device. If a device cannot function offline, you will have a gimped (or completely dead) product soon.

functions like scheduling a charge will no longer work

Case and point. Why did the device ever need the internet to run a clock? It didn’t, but because it was ‘smart’, now it can’t operate a basic time function.

On further thought the glow could be from reentry and not from burning rocket motors. So, no I’m not sure.

Currently waiting to see the level of damage and more detailed reports.

From watching the videos, it looks like a ton of low-level missile intercepts. The rocket motors are still active, which isn’t what you see for ballistic missiles in their terminal phase.

Probably will be lots of damage due to debris though.

Yeah, missile intercepts always look cool. Though, it is unfortunate that it’s due to what is assuredly an escalation. Israel took the first Iranian missile salvo two months ago without direct retaliation; I don’t see that happening again here.

Yeah, I have zero desire to give them money. Luckily, there are solid options that aren’t them, notably the steam deck for portable gaming and pc/xbox/ps5 for home gaming.

The PLCAA offers basic protections against nuisance lawsuits. Much like one shouldn’t sue Makita for a crazy murdering someone with a sawzall, one shouldn’t sue S&W for a crazy murdering someone with a gun.

What you’re missing is the understanding that this will keep getting worse, till we are all dead

Apparently the climate scientists are missing that understanding too, as I have yet to see any of them claim such.

Yeah, I think someone in Saudi Arabia looked at the expenses for The Line‡, and then put out a number that sounds nice and would help with that massive outflow; but like you said, didn’t trifle with a more realistic target. Meanwhile, Russia is pumping with whatever hasn’t been hit by a drone yet, as they can use every ruble they can get; depressing the price.

‡I still can’t get over how, instead of building up an industry in Saudi Arabia to vary the economy, instead they went for a vanity mega-project to … attract tourists?

when we’re all dead from climate change

Would you mind sharing an article from a climate scientist that claims all humans will die? What I have seen is that life will get harder, certain crops will not grow in certain areas anymore, resource-related wars will increase, and weather events will get stronger and more numerous. What I have not seen is that these things result in the extinction of humans. Which is a vastly different statement.

Everyone dying from climate change is not what climate scientists are predicting. Lying about reality will not help the cause.

I’m confused who this is for. Even many who agree with them don’t appreciate vandalism of art and art galleries.

The best printer is still whatever Brother Laser Printer is on sale.

most creative work

DaVinci Resolve is pretty good. Works on linux and certainly has more features than I need by a long shot. I think Adobe products are the main bottleneck for creative work on linux. Though, the Adobe set of products are so darn expensive, it’s really not a great solution if literally anything else can do the job instead.

Glad to see Ukraine is getting more and more support. These will also be easier to integrate into their systems since they are now operating F-16s, a platform that has already been integrated with this weapon system. So, we don’t need to figure out how to get them to play nice with soviet systems like the MiG-29 as was done for things like HARM anti-radiation missiles. IIRC, they ended up adding a tablet into the cockpit to interact with the HARMs, but even then they could only use a subset of the missile’s standard functions with it.
