“What’s the charge? Eating a child? A succulent human child?”

Well, this is a fresh kind of hell…

Not the same character at all. The game starts with you playing as his actual daughter at the very start of the zombie crisis. She dies in the first 10 minutes of the game, then the game time-skips to the point where the rest of the game takes place. It sets up the reason Joel develops a connection with Ellie in the first place.

It’s much more important than the ‘Obama wears brown suit’ thing. Firstly, because it’s incredibly disrespectful to dead soldiers, but secondly, and arguably more importantly, because if he wants to drive a wedge between himself and the military, we want to let him. We want them all to know - to be unable to ignore! - just how little respect he has for them.

I remember playing that with other kids in elementary school. We knew the first 6 or 8 moves, then would just make it up from there… we’d end up with a complete mess of string, but we didn’t care, and we’d keep going anyway.

Baked potato wedges

1. Slice potatoes into 8ths, 12ths or 16ths (depending on the size of the potato.)
2. In a large bowl, combine some olive oil with paprika, garlic powder and salt (or whatever spice mix pleases you.)
3. Rub the oil + spice mixture onto each wedge and arrange them on a baking tray.
4. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes, flip them, then bake at 450° for another 15 minutes.

If done right, they’ll be crispy on the outside, moist and fluffy on the inside, and they’re excellent finger food. Total prep time is about 10 minutes (plus baking time, obviously.)

I honestly love this. I find it interesting to spot the times when games do this. I think the Mass Effect elevators was the first game I really noticed it in, but some games are really good at hiding it.

Already has, but loading screens are too quick now to make it worth actually doing.

A) Just don’t use the software that requires it, you don’t need social media etc. in your life anyway, and B) I’m very confident someone will create a way to circumvent those checks very quickly anyway.

Not exactly what you’re looking for I don’t think but you might check for local Freecycle groups.

Maybe we should learn a lesson from Inglourious Basterds. Invite them all to a movie premier.

Not even questioning the horse or the rabbit, like it’s obvious why they were banned. That’s speciesist.

Unless I’m misreading the article, that’s not at all what happened here and even with encrypted emails, you’d still have been caught. They knew the email address that allegedly belonged to the instigator; they just needed to connect that email address to an actual person, not to see the contents of their emails. The payment data made that connection.

Those solar panels look pretty nice…

Couldn’t properly tell the story in an 80 hour show; it’s okay, though - a 2 hour movie will do the trick.

Ah man, that’s awesome! Thanks for randomly mentioning this, you just made my keyboard experience 100% better.

Wait, Keychron Assistant works on Chromium? Are you on Linux? Big if true, I thought it just didn’t work on Linux period.

I think about this a lot. So many technologies that we have, if we could trust everyone involved to be acting in humanity’s best interest, would be amazing. If we didn’t have to guard our personal data like Fort Knox, there’s so many great things we could do with extensive connectedness. If we didn’t have to doubt the sincerity of everyone who promotes a service or product, everything would be so much better.

We can’t have any of those things, because humans are shitty, and are as a whole just in it for themselves.

Applications (and websites) can definitely allow / deny copy/paste into specific text fields; I’m not sure if they could disable it for the entire browser as a whole but I can’t imagine they’d ever do so even if it’s possible.

What if it’s a collage of AI generated art pieces? Technically the artist did the same amount of work as someone making a collage of human-created things.
