Thank you for the write-up!!

Another vote for the ErgoDox EZ. It’s pricey but very much worth the investment. Makes me hate every other keyboard I use lol

“Themselves”

The term remained in use as a technical ethnic term in anthropological and historiographical literature into the late 1980s.

It’s hard to fault him there in the early 1900s when it was an “accepted” scientific term until nearly a century later. Thank you for sharing that link 'cause that’s a new one to me!

The thing is - there is no evidence of sexual misconduct. He’s been investigated by just about everyone from local cops to the FBI since the early 90s, and despite the outcry there’s never been evidence. Considering how our justice system dealt with another high-profile figure’s history of sexual abuse, I have to believe something concrete would’ve turned up by now.

Inappropriate? Absolutely. Illegal? Pedophilia? Doubtful. I mean, provided we genuinely believe in “Innocent until proven guilty” ideal…

She sells 'em

“Covenant” and “Prometheus” would’ve been killer movies to kick off a new IP.

I might be the old man shouting at clouds, but I’ve been turned off to all franchise “reboots”. Just sick of rehashes and revisits and the cute little “winks” these movies do to the previous installments. Have an original thought, damn.

Well this is neat - I think I found the “zoomed out” cutaway while I was looking:

Is there a key for the labels? I’m curious what all the parts are called.

Notes while I’m watching:

1. The “vibe” is different - in my head I translated this to “he likes the GUI more”
2. Minetest has zero “story” / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it’s purely a sandbox experience.
3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
4. Mods are built-in, and don’t require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
5. Customization via the Settings menu

The “built-in support for mods” caught my eye. That’s pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod “sandbox” to play in.

Gotta brush up on the ol’ powershell

One day I hope to write a “go fuck yourself” email of this caliber.

Just occurred to me - are there streamers who read books aloud for their audience? Like a live audiobook?

The scariest thing in the world would be if they gave Sinbad another tv show.

I wouldn’t doubt if he got a few of them pregnant

Nearly breaking her back to bend the truth. That’s just “rape” with extra words. Her great-grandfather raped his slaves, and instead of just saying “that’s bad” she defends sexual assault. It’s hard to wrap my brain around.

I hear you, but consider it goes well beyond the sticky plant - simply possessing marijuana in many areas of the US can still get you thrown in jail. With many of those same states enforcing “mandatory terms” for drug crimes, we have thousands of people jailed for years for non-violent offenses. We have a lot of huge issues to deal with, but the “War on Drugs” from the start was a thin veil for persecuting minorities, and it’s still going.

I’m hoping for the rest of your list of requests, too, but personally I think federal weed legalization would have a wider-reaching, far more profound impact on our population than forgiving student loans.

is now suspended with pay — her salary is $232,600 a year

For her outburst she’s been rewarded with not having to work & she’s still getting a six-figure paycheck. Must be nice.
