As a dad?l, this new world terrifies me. The craziest trends that caught on for me were Pokémon cards, tamagotchi, and Uno.
At the rate we’re going, history books will be banned before we know it.
We all know real Enterprises where kilts.
Damn! Your list made me remember that I missed Superliminal.
Which led me to Stanley’s Parable, which I hated. I maintain that I totally missed something despite a few playthroughs to “the end” but it seems to have just gone over my head.
*Break the Game is $2 during the Summer Sale. Definitely trying it.
My game time is limited so I play what I hope to be most impactful. My list is chock full of unforgettable experiences:
- Control
- RDR2
- Uncharted
- Dead Space
- God of War
- Ori and The Will of the Wisps
- Disco Elysium
- The Artful Escape
- What Remains of Edith Finch
- Gris
The first three I’d say there was life before and then life after. The rest, I wouldn’t want to miss if I had a redo in life.
Picard, my friend. I don’t know history well enough to know if MSFT was involved or not based on our colleagues comments below but I most certainly agree that the horse armor was a reckoning, and dawn of a depressingly fraught new era.
I experienced the same at “regular” beaches out in Greece. Topless women and Speedos were just as normal as any other beachgoer. It was really rather relaxing thinking back to it now.
Someday I hope to build up the courage to visit/participate a nudist beach. It seems far more comfortable and “normal” in Europe than in the States from my travels. Remarkably humanizing.
Pain always adds a little pizazz to the finer things in life 😉
$108k for those! With all the workers and equipment, I wonder if they profited. What a wild treasure hunt.
There’s a burial spot somewhere for old game cartridges too, right?
That’s what keeping all that latinum in your second stomach does to you.
Good thing he got rid of all that worthless gold though. That stuff is toxic.
I would say it’s a war against knowledge and critical thinking. Those two things threaten their control and reasoning. Why else fear books or competing ideologies?
It’s one thing for the deer to see headlights coming at it. It’s another for it to know what it means and what it should do.
Is it weird that I still want to go for my PhD despite all the feedback about the process? I don’t think I’ve ever met a PhD or candidate that’s enthusiastically said “do it!”
Ngl if it weren’t for my soul crushing student loan debt, I’d do this. Not to qualify for jobs or gloat, I just love learning.
I hope to start a PhD before 40 but the finances and family life aren’t looking too promising.
I was going to joke and say: that’s like, what, warp 0.0001.
In the Star Trek universe, warp factors are a way to measure faster-than-light travel. The speed of light is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (km/s). To convert your given speed of 32,000 km/hr into a warp factor, we need to use the formula that relates warp factor to the speed of light:
v = c * (w^(10/3))
where:
• v is the speed in multiples of the speed of light (c),
• w is the warp factor.
First, convert 32,000 km/hr into kilometers per second (km/s):
32,000 km/hr = 32,000 / 3,600 km/s ≈ 8.89 km/s
Now, find the warp factor using the speed of light:
w = (v / c)^(1 / (10/3))
w = (8.89 km/s / 299,792 km/s)^(1 / (10/3))
Calculate the fraction inside the parentheses:
8.89 / 299,792 ≈ 0.00002967
Now raise this to the power of 3/10:
0.00002967^(3/10) ≈ 0.000657
So, approximately:
w ≈ 0.000657
Therefore, a speed of 32,000 km/hr corresponds to a very low warp factor, approximately Warp 0.000657 in the Star Trek scale.
Do I have a slot for that?
I recently started playing Diablo 4. I’ve never bought DLC or cosmetics but I recall the horse armor uproar. My shock when some of these cosmetics are $20 for mount or town portal…what?!

Our laundry room sink has this bizarre attachment to to the back of the drain line clean out. It would almost seem like it was or is supposed to be a vent. Recently it’s started to give off a foul sewer smell when our washing machine rinses.
Can I safely plug it? Maybe remove it if I can manage to pry it off? When I asked our plumber what it was, he just smirked and said it was a “crazy thing.”
Anyone have resources for finding book summary pdfs? I have Blinkist already.
I am interested in Shortform but they never run any discounts. Their summaries are fantastic.

1950s house with block foundation. I’ve patched these areas with hydraulic cement. That didn’t work so I stripped and cleaned the areas thoroughly then repatched. It improved but still getting lots of leaking where the foundation and floor meet or just above.
The main trouble spot sits next to the water heater where some old oil tank lines were. Can I safely cut those out with an angle grinder and try to patch that up? There’s a giant concrete hump that encases them where the water leaks over too.
Our exterior is naturally moist. We’ve got a sump pump, French drain, gutters discharges all well away from the house. Short of digging up and putting in new footer tiles (which I definitely can’t afford now), I’m at a loss.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Waterproof paint? Block filler?
The first three Lara Croft outings will be made all pretty for modern consoles, out early next year

Previously linked to a higher risk of stroke and heart attack, popular acid reflux medicines have now been connected to an increased likelihood of developing age-related dementia.
![New link between acid reflux medicines and dementia](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/0b58bbd0-23fb-4653-a6a0-c52d50eded7e.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
Link to study: American Academy of Neurology
> After adjusting for factors such as age, sex and race, as well as health-related factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes, researchers found people who had been taking acid reflux drugs for more than 4.4 years had a 33% higher risk of developing dementia than people who never took the drugs.

Seen on This Old House. Took me a moment to see the cutlery.
