Castlevania Anniversary Collection free on Epic Games through 2024-11-21
  • There was something in the manual if I remember correctly. Which you wouldn’t necessarily have if you rented the game.

    Edit: just checked and I was wrong. Nothing in the manual. I must have been thinking of another game.

  • How do you actually read?
  • I used to be an avid reader but as I got older and busier I just couldn’t find the time.

    Then when I did have time there was always distractions, or other things I could be doing.

    So now I read primarily via audiobooks through Libby and my library.

    I read 130 books or so last year that way.

    Mowing the yard? Audiobook.

    Long drive? Audiobook.

    Waiting at the doctors? Audiobook.

    Dishes? Audiobook.

    And then when I’m really invested I’ll relax by playing some mindless game while I listen. Think match 3 or bejeweled.

    Just engaging enough to keep me from getting bored while listening but not so much that I can’t do both.

    Balatro, BABA is you? Bad candidates for playing and listening.

    The last couple of years I burned through the wheel of time series, all of Brandon Sanderson’s books (except skyward which I haven’t gotten to), a lot of Adrian Tchaikovsky, and others.

    It's crazy that a 60 ton metal airplane can just fly
  • Considering how we use it. It is absolutely fascinating. Same for magnetism

  • 8 November 2024
  • Keep it floating… other than that useful for makeshift spears/weapons for fishing?

    This tip brought to you by the Tetanus and Sepsis better health council

  • That's not going anywhere
  • Speed tape. Very expensive but basically helps with drag and isn’t structural.

  • looking for story-based moderate puzzle games that can be played from the couch
  • Journey is good.

    Rime is a good (but emotional) story.

  • Just over here trying to make him proud
  • Right. And if you’re going to do it at least do it right.

    At least make his tie grumpy cat, or Harambe.

  • ur dada so buff he falls significantly faster than g
  • Wouldn’t this be equally offset by the increase in inertia from their masses?

  • Sorry, the A-10 Wartcrocs stay on during sex
  • Looks like a doable design for 3d printing. Assuming you don’t mind having plastic digging into your feet.

    Looks like they actually do make some of these weird designs. Hilarious.

  • Retirement in the USA is a scam
  • One thing to consider. When the stocks that are part of a mutual fund drop… then your retirement contributions will be buying them on sale.

    Assuming the mutual funds are spread out to minimize risk (1 of the funds companies folds, etc) overall you’ll be better off long term.

    As you age you’ll start moving your investments to more stable options (talk to a financial adviser on the specifics for your plans). This way they that won’t benefit from huge gains but also are a lot less likely to be wiped out by massive drops.

    In the meantime look at how your funds are doing over time. Not even year to year but maybe every 2 or 3 years.

  • Can I have my cursor on at the end of the URL instead of selecting all of it, when I focus on the URL bar?
  • And the rest is standard UI conventions. Some of which have been in place since the 90’s.

    Old Windows UX guideline documents for those who may be curious.

  • Would this even work?
  • I don’t work with telescopes but I do know that hinges never fold perfectly along a plane.

    There’s always a little twist/pivot which would probably be an issue with aligning the light in a setup like this.

  • Can I have my cursor on at the end of the URL instead of selecting all of it, when I focus on the URL bar?
  • Or the end key which goes to the end of a any line in any text editor in windows

  • Westloki – 3D printed bicycle belt drive conversion (solid continuous loop belt on an unbroken bike frame)
  • Sounds like the perfect thing to test and iterate and then use that to have something machined in metal.

    Of course with some stronger materials it may be fine. But how resilient will the belts be from the tension/stress and is there any risk of injury when they snap?

  • Will Wednesday Hot Tip
  • Geordi’s Tip: Use a separate Holodeck for … personal things… to avoid embarrassing situations.

  • Just took 8 years
  • Yes.

    although in some cases with a publisher they could also be involved in determining requirements such as minimum number, etc.

  • Mlem scroll issue in 1.3.5

    I just updated yesterday to the 1.3.5 release.

    Unfortunately now when I use my thumb to quickly scroll posts and comments it doesn’t respond.

    But if I stop, and move very slowly it does register the scroll. After it finally does scroll then for about 10 seconds or so it behaves normally.

    This doesn’t happen, however, in the top half of the screen. Just the bottom half.

    Thank you again for all the hard work you do on the app.

    User Generated Content and the Fediverse: A Legal Primer

    www.eff.org User Generated Content and the Fediverse: A Legal Primer

    A growing number of people are experimenting with federated alternatives to social media like Mastodon, either by joining an “instance” hosted by someone else or creating their own instance by running the free, open-source software on a server they control. (See more about this movement and joining....

    I found this interesting and was wondering how some of the larger instances handle the issues they outline such as

    Copyright/DMCA Safe Harbor CSAM Law enforcement/warrants/info inquiries

    And not included (since it’s focus is on US legal issues) but I’m curious about would be other regulations such as EU user data retention
