Yeah put it across from the model of MH370, by the photo of JFK getting shot

They say we can stand on the shoulders of giants, but first we gotta climb a friggin giant

One comment I saw eons ago explained it, it went something like this

“Imagine theres a group called Team-No-Bad-Guy. They gather to yell to stop people doing bad guy things. You don’t like those people that they yell at, but you don’t like the non-yelling methods Team-No-Bad-Guy uses sometimes. Team-No-Bad-Guy hears you say this and calls you a bad guy and begin yelling at you. You realize that they can call anyone bad guys and you wonder how things would be for you after the big bad guys were gone.”

ADSB exchange is the go-to

Now is my chance to share a useless fun fact! If there is a V-22 Osprey on the map the icon will change from helicopter mode to plane mode depending on airspeed

I’ve never seen an artist so over AND underrated at the same time

(I don’t know the lore and don’t care to but in my opinion she’s okay. Not great, not horrible, just okay. And that’s okay)

Oh man this made me dust off an old memory

There was a PS2 game my dad had called Dirt to Daytona. It’s a racing game where you’re supposed to play the career mode going from driving dirt track beaters to modifieds, trucks and finally becoming a pro nascar racer. You can tweak the cars, paint them, and try to get sponsors to fund you before your money dries up.

It was a cool game, but all I did was play the quick race mode. I would turn off all the caution flags and played it as a crash and pit manuver simulator lol

The train of thought he talked about right when he said that was that in the past politicians said they feel your pain, even if they are an opponent. Now politicians try to make the case that people aren’t in pain.

In that comparison I linked one of the differences is sympathy is feeling pain as your own and another is acknowledging pain without feeling it at all.

I’m not saying I agree with his take, but context made the quote made me go from “this guy doesn’t care about others at all” to “grammar police sidenote where he wants people to say sympathy more” in my head

Context is important and I never heard or watched him at all so I wanted to share for people who were interested like I was.

For having a dedicated topo setup I would recommend OSMand. CoMaps/OrganicMaps does contour lines too but you can configure things way more in OSMand and it makes a huge difference. I have both apps so here are screenshots of the same place to compare

“Longer winters means less mosquitoes!”

“What about the rest of the year?”

“…”

Hell half of the front page posts seem to be ads anymore

That reminds me there’s a game called Shadows of Doubt! You are a detective in a dystopian cyber noir world where corporations run everything.

Anyway they just added a mode to have the damned snail always after you while you’re trying to take on jobs and solve crimes

If you don’t want to use a phone because of privacy concerns there are also stand alone meshtastic devices with blackberry style keyboards too

I’m not against them, but I wonder how EVs will hold up in the long haul. Like in 20 years will there even be a feasible used market or will the batteries and motors be too shitty without a crazy expensive replacements to keep them practical?

And then there’s the scrapping process for batteries too. Can batteries be refurbished, scrapped or recycled in a way that most regions can do it?

Like LEDs I know they CAN be built to last a long time, but I know companies often don’t

This is similar to how the hunger games ends. Generations of people suffered and died in the meadows where little kids could now play in peace.

In this case of the comic it’s tourists discovering a mass grave of people that used to live where they are vacationing so yeah changes the tone a bit

It’s setting the stage. It doesn’t do much on it’s own but if you recognize them as a state rather than just some people it gives leverage to use more diplomatic tools.

How much difference will it actually make? No idea.

Shotgun and 5.56 combo sounds like amateur sound design for sure…it’s perfect

This reminds me of metal gear solid 3
