I love reading, gaming, collecting and repairing old electronics and appliances, tabletop gaming, and flashlights

I don't pay for Nitro but I don't have a problem for people that do. Servers aren't free so it's that or ads.

The CIA and NSA are exactly who we don't want using it though.

Completely fan made engine replacement for Daggerfall in Unity! Mod support!

I wonder if online multiplayer mods could be made for multiplayer games.

Google ran Youtube at a loss for years to draw everyone in and now that there's no real competition (yet), are tightening the screws. Very similar to how Walmart will sell stuff at a loss to bankrupt locally owned stores and then raise their prices.

Exploitive megacorporation can pound sand. It wasn't a bad experience back when it was a single short ad before every video. Now I've had a wonderful ad free experience for years because of ad blockers. Why would I downgrade the experience and pay for it?

It's probably an illusion because of the angle.

It's a proven technology. Did you think Polio and Measles just went away on their own? When the polio vaccine became a thing, people lined up around the street to take them because they had firsthand experience with how debilitating these diseases are. It's quite literally miracle technology.

People who are against vaccination have been used by con artists who will say anything inflammatory to gain notoriety and money and be on talk shows and sell books. Be mad at the people who fleeced you.

Now these diseases that have no place in modern society are making a comeback because of it.

2G is dead in most places

It would never happen as long as Gabe is still at the helm.

Battery technology will be improved. Look at how much better today's lithium ion batteries are than the NiCad batteries of the 90s.

At some point, we'll develop something that doesn't wear out for tens of thousands of charge cycles.

Do you know of any good alternatives for role playing? I used it a while back to flesh out some NPCs and location for a DnD game I was planning on running but if it's gotten noticeably worse I'd like to try something else.

Is it possible to mod Bethesda games on Linux?

Exactly, 10% of a billion dollars is one hundred million. That's more than enough to live a cushy stress free life without ever working again if you're not an idiot blowing it all on dumb shit.

That puts you in the same net worth bracket as a lot of celebrity actors and musicians.

You could build one yourself for a fraction of the price with a trip to your local home improvement store. Even starting without tools, it would be cheaper.

GIMP supports WebP now.

Also, the fissile material has been radioactively decaying for decades and should no longer be refined enough to go critical.

I think I'll just chill in the space rig and drink ale.

The 3DS had an ARM9 processor on the board which is what the DS line used so that it could play DS games natively.

The DSi actually has an ARM7 coprocessor (GBA CPU) just like the DS and DS Lite but lacks the physical cartridge slot. You can play GBA games natively on a hacked DSi.

Actually, the 3DS has an ARM7 core too so it can play GBA games natively as well. Either the Nintendo Ambassador titles, or whatever you want if you've installed CFW.

Got a Sunbeam T-20 at a thrift store a few years ago. Just had to tune it up a little and it's been working fine. Gets used sometimes 5+ times a day.

I rescued a 2010 Macbook Pro from a recycling dropoff and the previous owner did not wipe it. They had an Excel file with all their logins in it. Bank accounts and all.

I'm still rocking my Galaxy S8! Gonna keep it till the battery is toast.

These companies ran these services for years without any of this crap.

Eventually one of these antivax fuckers is going to get rabies from an unvaccinated pet or something and then when they start having symptoms they'll change their tune and beg to be saved but it'll be far too late.

Airbake pans are the shit. Eliminates the need for double panning.

Cool, I'll have to look into that. That's mainly what's keeping me from going entirely Linux. I run Mint on my laptop.

I'll get occasional hangups and stuff but it's definitely useable still.

I'm most of the way through act 3. I have a 3080ti and it's still pretty smooth for me. I'm maxed out at 1440p with DLSS on quality.

Nowadays? You just install it. It's all plug and play. Mint is great for starters.

Real guns firing blanks are used in higher budget Hollywood films because it looks more realistic. Many TV shows will use gas blowback airsoft pistols and add muzzle flash in post production but you can tell because there are never spent casings being ejected.

MRI machines are cooled by liquid helium. Nitrogen is not cold enough. I'd imagine as a noble gas it has a similar effect though.
