I love my steam controller to this day.

I first learned to cover my internet tracks when my mom asked what "FuckSteam.com" was and why it was in the web browser history. I quickly came to have an appreciation for Steam, as pausing/resuming downloads on my 56k dialu

Much like Doctors having a rather different definition of 'binge drinking' or 'heavy drinking' than most of the public, general (dis)agreement may not mean terribly much in the end.

I've not much confidence that a company known for not getting permits and not paying rent or severance will carry through and pay out my own money when I want them to.

Same here. Not that I am a fan of just throwing money into the aether and hoping it gets to the right destination in any case.

Oh wow, I'd never even considered that.

Yeah I quite like those.

I would hope that watching the war in Ukraine would disabuse such notions.

While true that it is easier for malicious actors to find this kind of thing with a tool that goes DONG! after a quick scan, its not as if the previous security through obscurity of "key hidden in megs or gigs of crashdump" was mu

This is my experience too, it may take a little looking but you'll likely find everything from pick up basketball games to amateur soccer and rugby leagues, or hockey beer leagues.

That is a neat little fact that I didn't know, thanks!

While not straight up buying a house for their children, in my experience (middle class, PNW) it is, while not common, not unheard of for parents to assist their kids in buying a house, be it by providing some/most of the downpayment,

> It also dramatically reduces the amount of time it takes to locate missing children, which is an almost-daily occurrence. Just curious, where do you source the missing child image from? Ask the parents for a picture? Hope they remember

Indeed not. Going to the building supply store with my dad (former logger, from a family of loggers) was maddening as he flipped through the lumber bin to try to find relatively straight and knot-free boards, akin to those he was used to in

Those poor drones

And canoe or kayak enjoyers.

At that point, put a lance on the drone and go jousting in honorable combat.

By all accounts the apparatus is already quite capable of (and practiced at) quickly locating and dispatching officers to the locations from which fools are shining laser pointers at aircraft, so I can't imagine the first part of your

Oh I know, I was part of the crew that blasted the oversized boulders in the river channel just below the dam to open the channel up wider. It was really very cool to watch! I need to go back and see it again, its been years.

As I recall, the barge had very limited motive power and was instead anchored to multiple points, positioning itself by using winches on those lines.

Fair, but it loses out on the rhyme.

Yeah, these dams are rather small in the absolute scale. Compared to one of the big guys like Grand Coulee with its production of 21 billion kwh/year, they're peanuts.

There's the White Salmon, too.

Sure but what does it cost for 32gb of space rated, radiation hardened memory? Maybe even in triplicate for a consensus system!
