CO²
I may need a translation. CO² like in E = mc²? What is the square of oxygen?
I’ve been using Backblaze since 2017 when CrashPlan shut down. Have not run into a catch yet, except of course the possibility of it going the way of CrashPlan one day.
I’m afraid I’m gonna be the counterexample to your theory. I liked most forms of meat; my favorites were chicken, ground beef, and fish fingers. However, once I discovered plant-based (mostly soy-based) substitutes, I genuinely prefer them. I’m still not fully vegan but I’m no longer buying meat because this stuff is so much better. I also prefer oat milk over cow milk and am kind of annoyed I didn’t try it sooner because it’s so much better (esp. in hot chocolate).
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that you probably haven’t even looked for any viable alternatives, because if you had, you would have found they are plentiful already. They’re just expensive because of the government subsidizing animal farming, not because they’re expensive to produce.
Because without it, the DOJ would have no control over you, duh
Ich biete hiermit eine Revanche()!
(Für die nicht-Englischsprecher: Revanche heißt auf Englisch rematch)
I kind of wish more people realized how much of everyday computer usage can be simplified with keyboard shortcuts. Take a look around your favorite apps/programs and/or Google for “keyboard shortcuts”, and try to build a habit of using shortcuts for some of the most frequently used commands. It’s very liberating as it gives you a feeling of greater control.
For example, in Windows, did you know that if you pin your most used apps on the taskbar, you can access them using Win+1, Win+2, etc.?
In browsers, you can press Ctrl+L for the location bar (URL) and Ctrl+K for the search box. Ctrl+Shift+T will restore your last closed tab if you closed it accidentally.
Menus can be accessed with Alt plus the underlined letter. The File menu is pretty much always Alt+F. Many dialogs have elements with underlined letters too. We should demand this on the Web as well, as it’s kind of becoming a lost art with fewer and fewer people knowing about it. It only takes an accesskey
attribute!
Not really tonight, but yesterday I finished the language puzzle game Chants of Sennaar. Highly recommend!
The sad truth is that none of us, Jon Stewart included, get to choose. The established elite preselects candidates before the people get to pick them, and they would simply not allow Jon Stewart to run.
Logic puzzles, esp. variety Sudoku.
I’m curious: what modern features are you looking for when setting your house on fire?
No, the old demented dude is going to lose
Not sure how they’re talking to one another if Lal is in the turbolift while Data is in Ten Forward
I predict that Europeans will look upon the drawn-out and comedic campaign with smug disdain and self-satisfaction… and proceed to explain away their own increased support for right-wing nationalism and fascism. One day, we will all wake up and realize that we dun goofed but it’s too late.
This isn’t contributing to the conversation, but I just wanted to thank you for reiterating the part about being paralyzed. When I read the post I read it as simply a paralysis of choice due to lack of experience in the matter. I feel terrible and I should have taken the phrase more seriously. Thank you for opening my eyes to this.
As a fan of the LucasArts point-and-click adventure games of the 80s-90s, it would be remiss of me not to mention that Day of the Tentacle, the sequel to Maniac Mansion (their first adventure game ever), actually contains Maniac Mansion as a minigame.
If you accept modules in Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes as “minigames” then I could name several hundreds that I enjoyed when I was still active in that game. Many of them are “soloable”, meaning, do not require another player with a manual. Several fans of the game, myself included, would sometimes load up a bomb containing only soloable modules and just play on their own.
Not with that attitude
