The Appendix of Dune is what solidified it as one of the best books I've ever read. I remember him going in to detail about how the planet had a type of desert flower that would grow at the bottom of dunes that acted as a catch for the

There's a video of a streamer saying 'hey google, play the mexican doot doot song' and it plays, and this reminds me of that. Unfortunately I can't find the video because I think google strips out 'hey google'

I don't disagree, but > The US is claiming that the reason the statute of limitations doesn't apply is "terrorism". The US AG is currently classifying 3 cities where protests are occurring as 'anarchist jurisdict

1080ti -> 20xx -> 20xx ti -> 30xx There were also the 16xx cards. I'm being downvoted for this. 10xx 16xx 20xx 30xx That's 3 gens difference.

The 3080 is '2x faster than the RTX 2080', which was roughly on par with a 1080TI (it had advantages, of course, RTX among them). 3 Generations newer with only a 2x speedup feels like a much smaller leap than the prior generations

Oooh, nice. I have worked with hexes in little side project games, it was a difficult process and I went through a phase of trying to home-roll canvas drawing of hexes (and making some interesting looking bugs). I ended up using a js librar
