Or an admission, they just lie about who they're talking about

Woah woah woah, this about chemtrails? I can't believe I'm even surprised, really, but how can these idiots be focused on this rather then literally any of the actual issues that people are facing right now?

That's a rhetorical question, I already known the answer is they want to handwave away real issues and only focus on the theater issues they themselves create to generate outrage.

But I mean, they want to outlaw the imaginary chemtrails? Didn't have that on my apocalyptic bingo card.

I loved Deus Ex Human Revolution, it was my intro to the series and still one of my favs. I woild also recommend something a little more sandbox, like Minecraft or Lightyear Frontier, just for the sheer time sink these games can be. Farming and building can make you lose track of hours at a time, great for travel.

I could also recommend something like Be my Hoard. Trying to get over an hour on a run is a fun way to burn an hour, if you like rouge-lite styles.

If you like driving, something like American Truck Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator is another great time sink.

The issue some of us take with that is no, we did not all decide we needed more racism and hate. In fact, more and more evidence is being found that shows the entire thing was rigged, and the true majority decision was not acknowledged by the folks who had mostly been behind the scenes before.

Unfortunately the country I was born in, the USA, is also one that voted against the international resolution to define food as a human right. 😕

The highest calorie last meal

Your right, I double checked the number and I misremembered, it should be ⅗ not ⅕.

Yeah, not surprised at the Orange Blunder finding a way to bring back slavery. Oh his cronies will think up a different name for it, but soon these poor people will be segregated and counted as ⅗ of a person for purposes of population counting when drawing up political districts.

At this rate we are going to end up with Civil War 2 Electric Boogaloo before Christmas...

Edit: Correction of fractions, the historical amount was ⅗, not ⅕.

Isn't that just a solar panel with extra steps?

Solving percents. I use this to predict gross and net of my paychecks when I do my budget.

Net               X
------    =    ------
Gross            100


(GrossX) = (Net × 100)

GrossX ÷ (Net × 100) = X

Example;

200             X
------    =   -------
250            100

Step A
200 × 100 = 20000

Now 250X = 20000

Step B
20000÷250=80

Therefore X=80
Also expressed as 80% of 250 = 200.

It's also kinda handy when figuring out sales and stuff at the store, sometimes.

Friend, your guild idea already exists. It's just called a Union in the current day. Many trades already operate this way, from the Carpenters Union to the Iron Workers Union. There's even a Teamsters Union. The different name doesn't change the work they do. White- collar hand much less representation with collective solidarity, but that can be fixed by starting a Union at your local work place. I won't tell anyone it's easy, but it's worth putting in the work. A great example is the Starbucks unions that have popped up in the last few years. The reason you don't see more unions is because employers are terrified of them, and want to continue to freely exploit the workforce through fear.

 

I had 3 configs I was testing for No Man's Sky, and since the last couple updates the community configs are broken. If I launch the game those configs come up as totally empty of assigned controls. I can switch to a Hello Games config and it works fine. I can't seem to find any way to delete a configuration once it's been downloaded. I was hoping that deleting and re-download would fix the issue.

 

After seeing some folks noticing a comment I made elsewhere in this instance, I thought a full post would be best. For those who don't know, the Steam Deck has a feature called Nested Desktop, which allows fast access to Desktop mode without needing to leave Game Mode or reboot into and out of modes.

To use this, go into desktop mode, open the menu and use the search function to look for "Nested Desktop". Now right click and add that to Steam. When you boot into Game mode, you'll see a new item added called Nested Desktop, which you can open to access desktop mode while still in game mode.

I found out about this almost a week ago and so far I use it most for referencing my digital game guides or searching NMS portal codes while still gaming. It's pretty seamless and really opens up some nice options, like modding a game and being able to boot it faster while having Game mode controls available.

It's disappointing that copyright infringement could cause these people to spend time in prison, but the predatory practices of the companies they where competing with are punished with no more then fines. A "cost of doing business" for the corporate aristocrats. This is the threat the upper class uses on the rest of us, and all too often do not suffer themselves.

Want a 3D printer in New York? Get ready for fingerprinting and a 15 day wait

Assembly Bill A8132 has been assigned a "Same As" bill in the Senate: S8586 [NYSenate.gov] [A8132 - 2023]

I don't own a gun, I never have and I don't plan to at any time in the future. But if these pass in the NYS Senate and Congress, it would be required to submit fingerprints for a background check then wait 15 days, before you could own any "COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL."

This isn't even going to stop any crimes from happening, for pity sakes regular guns end up in criminal charges all the time, regardless of background check laws. How about some real change and effective measures, rather then virtue-signaling and theater illusion for a constituency?
