Gotcha thank you. So standard Gaslight Obstruct Project going on.

So it shutting down because of this lawsuit is a bad thing. I wonder if the advertising industry will come up with anything to replace it.

Can someone explain like I’m dumb? This sounds bad, because a non profit is being bullied into shutting down because of a lawsuit, but it’s also being hailed as a first amendment win, which sounds like the opposite of what is happening.

I went looking at every state I’ve lived in and the one with the most restrictions was Texas, obviously states like New York or California will be more restrictive, but the only real restrictions that I found outside of new england / California, were switchblades or “automatic opening knives”, and carrying in locations like schools and government buildings, which I expected. I used to carry a 8” hunting knife (13” overall) when I did a bunch of outdoor work, now I carry a smaller 3” folding pocketknife (6” overall).

The US has strong knife laws? I carry a knife almost everyday and this is the first I’m hearing of this. The only time I can’t take my knife somewhere is if no weapons at all are allowed there, like government buildings.

Your Ioniq 5 already supports NACS you just need to pickup a NACS to CCS adapter.

Kia and Hyundai have had NACS support via an adapter for a while now, they also announced last year that all of their 2025 models would be NACS. I don’t see how this is news. Yes a native NACS car is coming, they told us it was.

When they’re good, they’re good. Good gameplay beats good graphics every day

And people wonder why I still play Factorio, Parkitect, ATS, or RCT. People suck and being able to ignore them is great.

Party of the rule of law… wait…

Ignoring the fact that you would go east to reach Hawaii from Japan, because it’s in the northern hemisphere, it would actually curve up not down, and because both japan and Hawaii are close-ish to the equator the curve would be relatively flat.

Fun fact because every country charges you for every nautical mile flown in their airspace, you will actually get lines that zigzag and are less fuel efficient because they are paying less for airspace miles. Example. If you fly from Chicago to Paris or Dubai, you don’t actually head east first, you first head northeast into Canadian airspace and bypass the New England area because Canadian airspace is cheaper than U.S. airspace.

Oh hey look it’s a Boeing plane again.

Let me guess. Boeing

Edit: yep Boeing 737-800

Watch it get bombed because “hamas”

In most cases yes, but it depends on the car for both EV and ICE. The few areas where ICE wins is when you’re running a super efficient hybrid, but those are few and far between, usually missing some nice luxury features like heated seats and automatically warming up your car before you get in. Things that are very nice for up north.

My sister who lives in Michigan can lose up to 50 miles of range when the weather drops, so she goes from 110 MPGe to around 70 MPGe when the temperature is below 0 (-18c). That’s still more efficient than most ICE but possible to beat.

And my reasoning for not switching to both is the same. “The programs I rely on for creation and collaboration aren’t there.”

Anyone who’s moved from up north to down south can attest to that.

Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. I have Aspergers which is a form of Autism, and I very much fit all stereotypes save for one. The key, much like real life, is focusing on the strengths so you can compensate for the weaknesses.

I don’t have experience with Down syndrome myself, but think about if you were in there shoes. If you knew that you learned things slower and communicated slower than your peers would you rely on those for day to day life? No, you would compensate in some other way. When people say blind people have super human hearing, they don’t. They’re just compensating for not having sight. When people say kids with Aspergers are super smart, I can personally attest that we are not. We just are compensating for our lack of people skills.

Any “disability” will be like this. You have a shortcoming that no one else has to deal with, so you compensate somewhere else. If you want people with “disabilities” to shine in your story, focus on their strengths and have characters around them who can prop them up in their weaknesses. That’s definitely a conversation you need to have with your table, because if there’s no one, or no way to compensate for a weakness it’s like trying to build a house with sticks and stones. You’re basically going to end up with a hole in the ground, functional, but royally sucks. The surrounding people are extremely important to a neurodivergent’s success as that is what gives them the tools to build with, and if you have tools you can build a proper house.

And you are getting a relative pay cut. Doing the same amount of work, but the money you take home doesn’t go as far.
