Does it trap other bugs? I want to get rid of mosquitoes, but don’t want to mess with any others.

I’m waiting for someone to marry a corporation just to show how absurd the idea of corporate personhood is.

There is that (probably untrue) theory that the main reason he bought Twitter was because at the time, Twitter wouldn’t ban the ElonJet tracking account. Were that the case, it would kinda/sorta make sense that he’s want to kill the platform.

Neil Gaiman. The man can write novels, YA novels, graphic novels, children’s books. And they all have such well crafted worlds that you just want to lose yourself in them.

I also think Neal Stephenson and Corey Doctorow deserve WAY more attention than they get.

 

Longtime Super Mario Kart hacker MrL314 calls Resident Evil Kart "the worst thing I have ever created," and it's not hard to see why. As implied by the title, the ROM patch replaces Super Mario Kart's usual over-the-shoulder tracking camera with something more akin to the awkward fixed-angle "perspective shots" of the original PlayStation 1 Resident Evil games. The perspective automatically jumps between these fixed cameras around the track as your racer moves from section to section, forcing you to judge turns and obstacles from very skewed angles.

I’d be curious how many of those developers are excited about the platform.

The real villains here are the absurdly rich. Especially those who find ways to pay less in taxes.

The top 1% are the problem.

Tax the rich.

This is my boomer MIL. She is honestly one of the kindest people I know. . She votes pro-environment/pro-social issues and has given (almost beyond her means) everything she can to virtually anyone who needs it. She has almost nothing left, and is a stones throw from couch surfing. I have no idea what’ll happen when her health starts to fail. As frustrated as I am with boomers, I try to remember her and the good she has tried to bring about in the world.

I’m not a knower. Context?

Well, if Gen X and Millennials wanted their own fortunes they should have planned ahead like boomers and been born back when a house cost $7,500.

This was my Outer Wilds experience:

Got excited until I realized it wasn’t the Outer Wilds…

Outer Worlds is a fun game. Outer Wilds is a game I won’t ever forget.

It’s not that powerful of a jet of water. I mean, I’m sure there is some, but if you’re doing it right, only the parts you want to get wet are getting wet. Besides, the alternative is like using a paper towel to clean peanut butter from a shag carpet.

 

Rumor has it that it's an RK3566 powered device, so systems before PSP, DC, and N64 will work fine, but those three will be a mixed bag.

 

I always enjoy a good spooky/creepy story. What’s yours?
