They should be made to wear signs saying that they voted against FEMA packages while touring their destroyed states. Or are they worried they might lose an election if people actually knew their stances?

360 noscoping russians as a wallrunning Ukrainian super soldier.

Never buy a grey car. We had one during our childhood, it got hit four times by idiot drivers not watching the road. Most were distracted by phones, food, etc. Silver blends into the road fairly well.

We looked, but unfortunately a cloud layer rolled in. We did see them the other night, though!

Fuck it, regress. Thumb your nose at the laws of physics and time and become small again.

Generally, it’s good to have biocides and corrosion inhibitors so the loop doesn’t corrode or develop biofilms. I only need about a liter per year and would rather not have to keep separate bottles of biocide and inhibitor. And I’d need to find distilled water locally. For about $12, a premix is fine.

Nah, democrats will bail them out as idiots like DeSantis come crawling back despite shooting down emergency relief for themselves and other states. At least the democrats do the right thing.

Columbus to Charlotte would be a 690km ride, and that is nowhere close to Florida. The US is huge. Biking and ebiking is great for cities, but the US is huge and needs high-speed trains for interstate travel between city pairs.

Undead nightmarrrrre, fuck yes. I generally don’t like rockstar games these days, but undead nightmare was so fucking good. I might actually have to buy it

Yeah, a uni I went to had a sexual assault course everyone had to take, and the thing that stuck out was that the statistics on women were horrible, but the statistics on men being raped was not statistically far behind. It was something awful like three men in a classroom of 30 would have been victims of rape. On average.

The worst part is that a friend of a friend was actually held down and raped in a hotel by three people in the hallway. But he was so scared of being perceived as gay, he refused to talk to the police, his family, or get PEP for possible STD exposure. Men don’t feel like they can come forward for male rape because they will be perceived as gay, and they won’t report being raped by women because it’s seen as being weak. Fucking horrible, and then the rapists get away and continually abuse people until someone finally breaks the chain. :(

For example, Amazon Web Services and ad-tech company TripleLift are working with proprietary models and machine learning for dynamic product placement in streamed TV shows. The report, citing a 2021 AWS case study, says that “new scenes featuring product exposure can be inserted in real-time ‘without interrupting the viewing experience.’”

Peacock is also working with TripleLift to develop “In-Scene” Peacock ads that owner NBCUniversal says it’s currently testing:

When a user plays episodic content, your brand’s product or message is dynamically placed in the frame of targeted scenes, creating a non-interruptive ad experience that aligns the programming with your campaign theme/goals.

This could be hilarious when your omegaverse softcore porn drama gets plastered with prune juice, old people pill adverts, and trump propaganda on everyone’s shirts, tattoos, jock straps, voice lines and whatever else the AI can scrounge up. “It totally fits with the narrative!”

What’s the source? I wanna learn about the weird unexpected drops in some countries.

If his version of ‘better’ involves MOABs and a giant set of smoking craters in the Middle East, then yes. Trump was the one that launched all those tomahawks on that base and assassinated an Iranian general unprovoked, though, so we kind of already know his MO. In addition to dropping that MOAB in Afghanistan.

There’s only one choice this fall, and it certainly isn’t Trump.

Not a bike lane, train, or bus lane in sight. This was the future of travel in the 1950s.

Single player games with a good story and fun replayability are what I’m after. Or co-op. Occasionally, a fun multiplayer with a risky, innovative design like Lethal Company.

If a game requires me to collect 100 goddamn feathers, or press X 20 times to “survive” a heavily scripted encounter, you are doing your game wrong. Look at Black Mesa, look at Subnatica. Look at the games that took risks like Lethal Company or Elite Dangerous. You don’t have to appeal to everyone. You have to tell a story well, and the gameplay should be unique and interesting. Larian understood that with Divinity 2, and made improvements to both story and gameplay in BG3.

Depends on the state, but biking can be legitimately faster in cities with gridlock traffic. Particularly if there are biking greenways. I unintentionally beat friends back from a beach after they hailed a taxi, and I ebiked the ~3km home. In their defense, the terrain is extremely hilly, and some of them aren’t super comfortable on the city ebikes.

Parts of Greece apparently also do tips. Is that new? Seems like it’s leeching into Europe :/

I think it might depend. Chlorine should, but chloramine doesn’t (which I only know because the latter can really mess up home aquariums). Since our water just has chlorine, I leave it out overnight before doing water changes.

Yeah, that is definitely not normal. Never heard anyone say anything like that (western US)

This is changing! More and more places in the western US are going to euro-style stalls, or fully gender neutral bathrooms that are entirely walled in. Much, much better. I can’t speak for the other parts of the US.

I was fascinated by glass stalls in Greece. I’ve never seen those before (opaque glass, but still, you could make out shapes). Lots of glass in general, such as highway soundproof barriers, balconies, etc. Much more so than I’m used to seeing. We tend to use a lot more metal or sculpted concrete.
