I can't remember what exactly the problem was, but Anno 2070 was the very last Ubisoft game I ever bought, because I bought it through Steam and then there was 'Some Stupid Problem' relating to either DRM or their trying to f

As always with this kind of post: attention.

haha, I should try that perhaps - particularly as I happen to have been carrying Foundation around in my bag and barely managing to read about two pages on my commute :) I never was good at reading when there's interesting Life to gawp

Wonderfully written, but for my shame I expected a different storyline and put it down a year or so ago after only reading 60 pages or so and haven't gone back to it. I keep packing it one times away, but... . One day I might learn how

Yeah, that was driving me nuts - can't PgDn nor use arrow keys. Doing so at any point after having scrolled down just resets to top. Very frustrating!

At 23 you could be about to enter the best and most productive point of your life, or perhaps you'll find your pace at 33, or maybe 43 or 53. point is, you have a while yet. Most people rue time wasted on 'frivolous' or &#x27

eh, as someone who was one and has been surrounded by wreckheads my entire life, this is absolutely not my first thought if someone doesn't want a drink or whatever. Also, compound cultural inputs - I'd full understand someone wit

'Dismembered the carcass of the Ottoman Empire' surely? Maybe my sense of history in this regard is flawed, but the Ottoman Empire was much to blame for its own demise.

I for one am not complaining, but responding with my thoughts, as requested.

Why are the numbers so huge? Very pretty otherwise, but no numpad = no interest here.

What if you work for a company that specialises in complex clean ups? Sadly, I know that a number more than zero of building companies will simply bury asbestos when they happen upon it, rather than paying through the nose for specialist d

I'm not with you, at all, but I did have a knot in my stomach the otehr day reading a quote from one of the founders of MidJourney, David Holz who apparently said "Within the next year or two, you’ll be able to make content in rea

For some, sure - but I've derived far more for free on the internet over my 25 years on it than I have ever paid for, and I don't imagine that'd change here.

Why? You can still do what you want to do - this sort of thing just helps people who perhaps don't have the ability or inclination to capably form their own concepts. It's much like hiring a painter, a writer or a web designer...

Irrespective of whether the US administration wants to 'drum up fear', are you suggesting that China has a better ability to track orbiting objects than the likes of Norad (never mind the global mass of space enthusiasts adding-to

It's not ideal, but you can just open up your browser tools and change the input type from 'password' to 'text' so you can see what you're doing. Tricky on a phone though... .

Oh, no - I mean the monoculture is so densely planted together that it's a literal struggle to even make your way through. These are not the deep dark forests of yore that threaten Hobbits...!

Oh, Russia are and have been for decades now, VERY GOOD at throwing heckloads of people and mid-late Soviet-artillery at A Situation to 'win' it. They tend to be somewhat Pyrrhic victories, but what does that matter when you utter

The er.. much-vaunted S300 and S400 systems very recently proved ineffective against American HIMARS systems and the so-called 'hypersonic weapon' they used in Ukraine (never mind 'why?') was basically a sub-ICBM missile

The problem with that increase since the fifties is that it's mostly not 'real' forest but plantations, which are their own kind of desert. I don't know if you've ever tried to venture into one but.. it's not f

These stupid things and fairly large Nox canisters (650g) are utterly befouling my locality here in London. I despair. I really do.

If you're interested in checking this out, as I am, don't use the links in the 'table of contents' as they're all misdirected - use the splurge of links near the top of the document.

Yeah, I get this and had changed servers a couple of times over the years and sought to have shared IPs verified, etc, but I just got fed up of jumping through hoops, despite doing everything 'right'. I still host my personal emai

Your side poster red369's more likely correct, as "the mother of all battles" was quite a well-known meme during Gulf War I - especially given the MOAB was designed in the early 00s, which is a while after this game's re

I suspect you might be overthinking it. I will never forget the first times I uploaded content to the internet, as a student; as a worker. There's a world of creativity to be had before complex interactivity.

heh, as amusing as that reference is, it's a bit of a difference between buying a big ol' tub and a spray mister. About £200, apparently. I'm curious to know how repeated use of the device will deal with sterilisation, which

Yes. The system breaks down locally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_mill - ed - d'oh, sorry - I have no idea how this works in the simulation, but I guess This. :)

May I ask - in the early stages, when a wandering ant encounters its first food pheromone trail, is there a logic that dictates which direction it chooses to then follow? It has two options - towards the source of the food, or away from. Th
