Olden Era is really good, it's kind of a spiritual successor to HoMM3.

Auto GCAS is a genius system. It only takes over past the point where it's physically possible for a human to react to a situation because that's the only system that fighter pilot…

Just from the base ingredients they still look fine. >cream, skim milk, cane sugar, egg yolks, ground vanilla beans, vanilla extract Compare that with Ben and Jerry's which lists s…

Very few people use old.reddit, I believe it's like 1-2%.

I used to read the games site Rock Paper Shotgun. At some point they decided they were going to block everyone who blocked ads. There were ways around it but the writing had gone d…

Yep, I use a soda can and have never had any issues.

I spent a lot of time playing Eve and it's without a doubt the greatest MMO I've ever played but I would never play it again. It will happily eat up as much time as you want to giv…

I remember seeing a house for sale in Detroit that basically said you were on your own. No power, no water, and emergency services would not respond to your calls.

I watched a YouTube video about four women who rowed across the Atlantic, it's really good. I couldn't imagine doing it solo. https://youtu.be/6SYHamnHqU8

They train for it. When people who have ejected talk about it they basically say it's automatic. Things go south they pull the handle on instinct.

The Oscars are 100% vibes based. It was only very recently made a requirement that the judges actually watch the movies that are nominated.

It was insane how powerful the debugger was. Very intuitive to use too.

The Garmin Instinct 2 is around $200 and will last several weeks on a charge even using the GPS regularly. Without GPS use I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted a month.

Github hijacks '/' and it's really annoying, it gets me all the time.

Ten years ago the FAA was disqualifying candidates because the didn't say their worst subject in high school was science and today they're struggling with recruitment. Seems like a…

Office is now the "Microsoft 365 Copilot App." It's ridiculous.

We will always need some form of baseline power. Solar, wind, and other renewables are an important component of overall power generation but we still need something capable of gen…

The training is also not run particularly well. There's a single facility in Oklahoma that every prospective air traffic controller has to go through. I had a friend in college who…

I loved the design of the original Droid. Slide out horizontal keyboard, built like a tank, easily accessible removable and replaceable battery. The specs on modern phones are ligh…

Authoritarians, as always.

It's very easy to watch. When I wanted to watch it a few years ago it took only a few minutes to find a torrent of the full series and less than an hour to download.

That seems likely. Someone got a directive to "increase Copilot adoption" so they rebranded Office to Copilot and now they can show their boss a graph for Copilot adoption that goe…

From the government? Absolutely not.

I do most of my grocery shopping at Target. In my large Midwestern city 12 large eggs are $2. A 3 lb bag of apples is $4. A 3 lb bag of oranges is $4.29. >When people talk about th…

I don't see this at all. Staple foods are cheap and abundant. Fruits and vegetables don't cost much at all. Some animal proteins can get a bit pricy (beef mostly) but chicken and p…
