I'm glad someone else is calling this out. He seemed so thoughtful and methodical previously.
So for the guy to get busted because he eats in a public place, while a huge manhunt is ongoing, and he happens to have on his person: the gun, the fake id previously used, and a manifesto expressing his motive? It's ridiculous! He could have tossed the gun into a body of water anywhere on his route outside NYC and it would never be found. And why reuse the same ID if you had several? Why not burn the associated IDs after they've been compromised?
It doesn't make sense to me. I've seen suggestions that this could have been a state hit, maybe to destabilize the country further? Would our spooks make up a lazy narrative to cover up for their spooks?
Please point me to the statute or code which states a juror is legally obliged to render an accurate and truthful verdict, and explain how you would enforce such a thing.
Nice! I'm playing through TP2 right now and it's great fun, though I did enjoy the mystery of the first more I think. How many laser puzzles does a person need in life though?
Chicle isn't the only natural chewable by the way. Many resins can be jawed on for a while, I'm very fond of chewing mastic resin. Mastic comes from Greece, and has a piney taste when you've chewed it for a while.
Surely some of these are fannon? Also, do the robots next!
Many school shooters talk about wanting to be seen, wanting fame/notoriety, and so on. With the huge positive response to this, it wouldn't be too surprising to see copycats. "If I do this, people will remember me and love me for it."
I first heard of it from Joel Spolsky's blog and wikipedia also credits that article with popularizing the concept. In it's original formulation, it was based on remote procedure calls being hidden in APIs. Because a remote computer call has all these limits of latency, packet/info loss, and possible connection loss, it is impossible to make a perfect abstraction that allows the programmer to treat the remote call as though it were local. The reality the abstraction tries to hide "leaks" in those fundamental limits.
All of contemporary global society is such an abstraction; that's one of the principles of post-modernism. When you buy clothes online an entire invisible work force of shippers, manufacturers, resource procurerers, and more lies beind each article of fabric.
Pressure from climate change, tariffs, global war, and more are straining the foundations of society and the comfortable abstraction is starting to crack.
Running theory is that it relates to this book.
I wonder also if the timing is related to it being open enrollment right now. For non-USians, you contract for health insurance for a year at a time, and are required by law to renew or buy different insurance every year. This period of renewal/purchase is "open enrollment". For many, their employer provides a menu of 1 to a few options for plans to pick from. Or you can buy on the "open market," but usually at worse rates than an employer can negotiate.
Anyway, it's a magical time of year when you realize how hard you've been getting fucked by the insurance companies, and "negotiate" how hard you'll get reamed in the new year. It's quite dehumanizing: trying to bargain and haggle with yourself over how much health you can afford, what you'll give up so your kids can have dental coverage, whether you should "take the bet" on extra life insurance coverage, etc.
Not a shock to me that right now is when someone would snap.
Live by the dollar, die by the dollar
So is anyone not a woman automatically a man, or are they going to define that one separately? Is one presumed masculine until proven guilty (of womanhood)?
Is this a variation on "there are only 2 stories: a person goes on a long journey, and a stranger comes to town." Some would argue those are two sides of the same story (digressions about this are the backbone of Lemony Snicket's Poison for Breakfast, an excellent light read).
So does Widow also go through a mutation arc and become an 8 legged horse at some point? Cause that sounds rad af
Duo's also on the app trend of year end reviews and wrap ups, so I thought I'd share mine. I kept up the habit, though I started doing the music lessons too as a break in language lessons all the time.
Also, just wtf is going on in the art department over there? Why is Duo's lil green butt featured so prominently?

I wanted to take a moment to thank @jet@hackertalks.com for the multiplayer server they set up! Tomorrow is the last day for it, and I thought I'd share some screenshots!
@badcodecat@lemux.minnix.dev and myself managed to meet up online a few times and had a blast building up the factory! We got half-way into Tier 4, unlocked a lot of goodies in the MAM and the ticket booth! A few more days and we'd get to phase 3!
Sorry I never ran into you Jet, but if you decided to keep the server up for a little longer, I wouldn't complain. I'd pitch in some monetary support as well.
Anyway, here's some of the fun we had!
BadCodeCat glides over the moon.
The parking lot at night (yes, we unlocked the cybertruck, even parked it correctly!)
Close up of the skate park (for doing sick flips in the cart!) Back-to-the-Future-style hoverboards when, Coffee Stain?!
I rode the freighter up to get a high overhead view of things!
A final shot of the factory at night.
This was my first Satisfactory multiplayer experience (and kind of my first factory game MP at all!) and it was a great time! Thanks again for setting it up Jet, hope to catch you online some other time! And thanks to BadCodeCat for being an awesome Pioneer to work with (and taking many of these lovely picture!)
I was scouting a high place to set up a radar when I noticed this great view! Couldn't quite get everything in (there's another factory off to the left, and my main/initial layout is directly under me, as evidenced by the space elevator) but I liked how my little empire looks, pockets of industry in a wild world.
I like also the evolution of my factory building as I unlocked parts and started to care more. From naked buildings on platforms at the far right (and below) to a roofless but walled factory in the distance, and then my most recent building in the mid-right distance. The only one so far with walls, floors, AND a frickin' ROOF! It's even got lights and windows! Yeah, we get a little fancy sometimes, haha.
How's your factory/empire looking?

Ah, I knew it..
Finally, nothing but US politics and jean memes all the time!
