Villeneuve has been really disappointing. He was good with smaller, more gritty stuff but isn’t a good epic director.

They’ll get more votes but people are still going to vote strategically because what choice do they have.

I used a tutorial book to help me create a python text game, then I rewrote it and have been casually adding things. I sort of want to re-write it again in Java to see how it compares, I’m more comfortable with java so I’m hoping I could focus more on system design. I’m noticing that the more I add to the base game the more spread out my solutions become, so addressing that is the main interest I have with it.

A new project I’m working on is a simple web scraper. I liked building a lexer/parser in the text game and I think having my own web scraper would be useful.

I’m still learning so I aim for projects I can ‘finish’ in 2-4 weeks.

Oh and a windows notepad that looks like the windows notepad except more customizable. I like the idea of building utilities.

Nothing wrong with simple recipes!

I think this would just nurture that particular type of anxiety.

Some damning stuff in that report.

I’d say just smaller, less scripted content. Maybe that’s what tiktok is.

I feel like you don’t actually know that and it’s just your opinion.

I don’t doubt it, but what I was getting at was that I wonder if Kushner hasn’t had more serious investigations into these allegations because it is hard to 100% prove and the article brings that up. Obviously Kushner isn’t going to say anything to the FBI, and Flynn is also being silent so the FBI has to rely on a potentially sketchy source. Not much to stand on given that I’m hoping we get to see Kushner in jail one day.

Wow look at that reaction! You guys think I’m a MAGA or something because I quoted this?

This is the one I’m thinking of. Love the concept. Potential challenge is that in Canada things, in particular, shipping is expensive. I’m pretty broke right now so my inclination is to save money over the long run and not be wasteful.

I’m not a phone person though. Useful device but not something that takes up much of my day to day time.

Damn 19C! My apartment is 24 right now and it feels cozy. When I bake it gets to 27. Without heat in the winter it hovers around 16 inside.

I’d consider going somewhere with more extreme day/night cycles like the Northwest territories, but within Canada I’m basically happy where I am. I like the super long days in the summer and I’m also ok living in the dark most of the winter as long as I can stay active.

Not yet but one day. If I could get a phone and keep it for 20 years (with repairs/upgraded parts) then I’d switch.

If apple removes the plug then i’ll start considering the other options when my current phone becomes unusable. Until then it’s too easy to buy an old iphone and hold onto it for 6 years.

“according to intercepts of Russian communications that were reviewed by U.S. officials.” !

Wow. Very interesting.

“Russia at times feeds false information into communication streams it suspects are monitored as a way of sowing misinformation and confusion among U.S. analysts.”

That was my thought too.

I have nothing really to say except that I like this. In my head cannon they are dancing.

No it’s just another video game. The core competency of this developer is dialogue interaction or dialogue puzzles that help create a sense of immersion in a world with lots of RPG mechanics. It is more or less in line with their previous games. There are quite a few tacked on features.

There’s so much media coverage of video games these days I think it makes it hard to just have them stand on their own merits without having every detail examined and compared across every game that has ever released. People who are spending the money on video games as entertainment will be entertained, but this isn’t a genre defining product and it isn’t a flop either.

No that claim isn’t backed up by any sources I could find. Sounds fringe attitude to me. It’s a good thing that people study this as their job and advise the legislative branch because it’s complicated. When I looked up the levelized* cost of energy I had a hard time finding sources that agreed with each other. In particular, the nuclear societies were skewing the data, but the same with certain German think tanks claiming the exact opposite. Debate all around. Hydro FTW.

Work shouldn’t be the primary source of stress in our lives no matter what the job is.

I don’t think conservatism is about being rational it’s about maintaining tradition or maybe morality, however it was defined by the previous generation.
