Hot take, the battles in the book aren’t great because Tolkien doesn’t want to glorify violence. Half of the fights are like two pages in the books before the point of view character passes out. After realizing that I was kind of disappointed in how “campy early 2000s action movie” the battles in the films are.

Sorry, yours. Feels like whataboutism to use sexism against men in a different genre as an contrary example

If Ted Cruz won in a landslide after Cancun and Uvalde I don’t know what other wake-up call is going to work

Classic “all lives matter” take

Absolutely, but I’m not sure if a bunch of text messages sent out at 2 am would have prevented that many deaths. This is unbelievably tragic, but feels like the new reality with climate change :/

Define empty? They’ve added a few new features and mechanics iirc, but overall it’s still very much a sandbox game and similar to the original. I.e., go run around and do whatever you want, but it generally turns into simulating the same battles a ton of times.

It’s fun to go back to every few years for me, but I can’t ever seem to get over the mid game.

iirc it came out that the gambling site was intentionally cycling through cloudflare’s IP range to avoid IP blocking, causing legitimate websites to be flagged as unsafe. They said they’d still host them, they just need their own IP and not one of cloudflare’s. Horribly communicated to the customer though

Yes, because it’s a maker on YouTube showing off a project he did? It’s a clickbaity title sure, but this isn’t a research paper showcasing a new technology. He’s using a dev kit to make something he thinks is cool. Fail to see the issue.

How dare you, that’s a relationship ender right there

Have you tried messaging with the barrel adjuster for the cable? I normally adjust the cable with the bolt to get roughly the right tension, then use the barrel adjuster to find tune it.

Like, a GUI plus command line, objectively provides you with more UX tools and ways of presenting data and interactions to the user

My long list of vim plugins and adhoc macros would like a word. I don’t doubt VSCode can do something similar, but I love that I can script vim to do basically whatever. Also, it feels much faster to not need to touch a mouse at all.

Legit sounds like the Out of Eden Walk

How easy is it for you to take your bike on the train in that area? I was visiting Utrecht recently and was really surprised they only allowed 2-3 bikes on the entire train (off peak hours too).

I fucking love that album and it didn’t get enough credit when it came out

AMERIKKKAN IDOL if anyone is looking for the song

wrt conf file location, they’re only generally in /usr/lib/systemd, /etc/systemd, or /run/systemd. You can always find out what’s getting read with systemctl cat <service-name>. Way easier to find stuff than with some other random programs imo, I’ve seen crap have default conf files in dumb places like /usr/share/<service-name>/lib/etc.

How do they not know how to fill out a check?

The Fall by Tarsem. I’ve been so happy the 4k remaster and theatrical re-release has been getting some love now.

This kind of sounds like http://astronaut.io/

Fuck the libre initiative btw

There’s a short story with the exact same premise https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Advance
