I'm rediscovering it. I remember reading about this in some flashy, superlative Popular Science article, from the early/mid 2000s. So I was quite excited to click on the link and s…

I ran to the mailbox for these. Sad day. And yet, as others have said, “It felt inevitable.” Popular Science was never the bastion of journalistic integrity, and yet this leaves me…

The people I know that have played it, have all dumped 1,000+ hours into it.

There’s quite a bit of overlap, actually. For some reason all of the old hams want to do .NET applications, though. I really think this is one of the reasons for the stagnation in …

And yet I can show you image after image of treeless streets and sidewalks. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Is it possible that Dallas has the largest urban forest in the…

1) While, I can't personally speak (much) to walking around Dallas, I can speak quite a bit to walking around Austin, Texas. Walking around on a day that is 110º is doable, because…

It’s possible that some trees might help that.

Okay. Here is similar propaganda from an American source https://youtu.be/tI3kkk2JdoI?si=HP0eaph7OnWPPFXB

I’m fairly certain that percentage will still be less than the number of minors, which no one has a problem with excluding in the same way.

Early last month, I found myself turning to Yandex in a search for the out of print manual for a 1980s mobile radio. Google had nothing. Yandex had almost nothing. But it was enoug…

You can frame this as a lack of political willpower, but that won’t get you closer. China will have spent far less per commuter, in this process. Whether you want to chalk it up to…

Your character has a name, and even a portrait made by you, of your player's 3D model, but after those initial ten minutes of character creation, you basically never interact with …

In this case, I will tell you that I don't think that Satisfactory is better than Factorio. I was incredibly excited for the idea of 3D Factorio, but so far, it just leaves me aski…

And yet the majority of players wind up only logging in when they feel they need to. The lack of (required) grinding for XP makes the game a lot more relaxed than most other MMOs.

Most of the radio clubs here in the US have been griping about this for the last three months. It's just a question of how much pull the european clubs have.

The 5000 sq ft in the back of every Walmart is nowhere near being a fulfillment center. It's already full of items for the low turn-around shelves in the store. Instead, they'll be…

Which is odd, considering that they made a big hoopla about buying a bus to get an angle down on cars, to check. https://www.kut.org/post/battle-texting-and-driving-austin-p...

Wait, did you just compare a PvP entity with a rental alliance? Hard Knocks Associates is not the same thing as Hard Knocks Citizens, which is the alliance in the story.
