I guess you have not seen season 2 of Picard; they just used the go-fast-around-a-star method from TOS again. Why this method is not usually used makes up a part of the plot.

So Chinese government gets a version of Windows that works for the customer instead of for Microsoft... why can't we all get that option?

The tourist bus thing is procedurally generated missions saying "fly from X to Y". It doesn't really go anywhere interesting; no difference to flying cargo missions.

I spent a year working on open source projects through gitcoin.co. I would wake up in the morning, choose an issue from the list, bash out the solution and tests in a few hours, code review after lunch and by the end of the day I would have

Get someone who is good at it to work on it. They get 1/3rd of your profits.

Elite Dangerous is a counterpoint to that; massive procedural galaxy, but very tight and designed gameplay loops.

I'm all for that idea if only for noise abatement on lazy Saturday mornings.

Citing a scam from the most famous con artist in the industry is never a good form.

For many years I've been searching for the perfect beach; the one with the white sand and palm trees from the postcards. I've gone half way around the world on this quest, sailed to places few will ever see. I've come to the

Depending on the situation and speeds, I can even see situations where a motorcycle may be safer; you can accelerate out of many dangerous spots where on a an e-bike you just wouldn't have the speed to do so.

Yes, depression medications inhibit the reuptake of serotonin whilst psychedelics bind to your serotonin receptors.

"but the CCP lifted a billion people out of poverty!". Whilst this is the linchpin of the party's propaganda machine, it is a true statement.

I could never really get into squad; enemy visibility is just too poor so you spend 20 minutes lugging yourself across the map only to get shot by some invisible guy, like literally there was not a single pixel on the screen representing hi

The CCP derives its legitimacy from economic progress, and the progress has been impressive on that front; they have pulled hundreds of millions of people out of poverty into the middle class while building world-leading cities and infrastr

Most Chinese still have full confidence in their government and society. It will take a lot more than a couple of days of starvation to get people to upend their lives and flee.

About 30 US military pilots a year are killed in all accidents. That propaganda you might have heard on TV nearly 20 years ago is bullshit.

Space exploration has always been and will always be linked to weapons. The whole thing was an offshoot of the ICBM program; without weapons there is no space exploration, and that continues to this day; DoD is SpaceX's biggest custome

As someone who lives in France that's an interesting article; I've never heard of or seen this condiment before. Wine and Cheese are highly regulated in France under the AOC system in order to preserve French culture. Is the same

Here is your missing nuance; AOPA spent much of that decade and the one prior lobbying against unleaded avgas. AOPA will claim in principle to support unleaded AvGas, but in reality GA pilots and their lobbyists have been opposed; each pr

A lot of Paul's work is safety related; in that context I find morbid humor quite appropriate. You're less likely to forget the lesson about flying over water with that hard-hitting gag about unintentionally becoming a U-Boat comm

Avgas is aviation gasoline. 100LL is 100 octane low-lead. 100UL is 100 octane unleaded. GAMI is the name of the company that designed the new fuel and injectors to inject that fuel. They put a "G" as in "GAMI" on the fro

It looks suspicious because they reproduced the diagrams using what looks like a fucking typewriter.

How much is your time worth? US TV has 16 minutes of advertisements per hour, while UK has 7, not counting the BBC channels, which do not have any.

Referring to BF1942, I mean tactical in the sense that you had to cooperate on tactics with your team, for example you might spend 10 minutes traversing a hill to flank the enemy. In the modern games, flanking is redundant as you respawn ju

I have nostalgia for the games of that era far more than the hardware. While the hardware has come leaps and bounds, the gameplay has gone backwards. Take battlefield as an example; back then it was a tactical team-based shooter, today it&

There is an Unreal-like game called Lyra included. It's pretty barebones as it's intended for developers rather than players. The gameplay loop is actually pretty tight and rewarding.
