Fun fact since you bring up treasuries, Marjorie Taylor Greene appears to have moved several hundred thousand dollars (probably most of her assets) into treasury bills a few days before the tariffs announcement, pretty much like she knew ex

If you went looking in China, you'd find plenty of really stupid or bad things that happened as a result of the government's ability to easily requisition land for public use. Ruined ecosystems, displaced families, corruption, the

If someone changes and begins to continually insists that something plainly untrue is true, does that mean that they possibly still have the values they used to? How long do you continue defending the "well, maybe..." case? Throw

Thanks, I checked out Tripo. It produced some absolutely laughable trees for me, but a pretty decent looking barstool. Refused to rig it for me for some reason, though. I'd say it'll take them some years to finish figuring out 3D,

Re: same thing not being able to happen a decade ago, perhaps so, but I'd argue that the signs were clear that it was about to happen. Some of the most powerful people in SV have been visibly showing hard right attitudes for at least t

What / who is the leading edge of 3D AI? I took a look into it last year and the best tools were still a very long away from producing usable results (couldn't keep tri count under control, spiderweb rigging, shape jank, etc).

I agree with the idea that you can't get rid of all the cracks, and I'm not particularly salty that I did manage to fall through one of them (for a while). It's just one minor problem in, as you said, a complex system that is

"There are many people" is a useless platitude to any number of people who fall through the cracks. Personally I had to wait until I was 25 to get some loans I needed to finally finish a degree, because my family was paper rich, w

Honestly, no idea; but I'd certainly wonder why the question flipped from what pages were removed that shouldn't have been, to whether they got enough traffic to merit talking about at all. Maybe acknowledge the prior answer befor

The blanket removal of all pages in the women's health category is certainly an interesting choice. I guess the next step after denying that there may be more than two genders is to ... deny that there's more than one? Or that gen

My grandfather wrote a short autobiography, just for his immediate family. It's a really nice thing to have.

Length of remembrance aside, the idea of fame as immortality has always confused me on different grounds. It's not how fame works: we remember factoids, not people. It's a bit different if the fame is a work of art, but then the t

Unless the reason for the death of the paid content deal is because of AI vacuuming up all the content and spitting out an anonymous slurry of it. Why would anyone, especially a passionate hobbyist, make a website knowing it will never be s

The problem seems much less simple than people just "taking it". The first line of defense against these shenanigans is provider choice. If you've got employer insurance, you have no choice. If you are unemployed or have the

I have vertigo issues and have wondered whether scuba might have contributed to the inner ear damage that causes it. It was either that or, also like you, sinus issues. During the diagnosis phase of my vertigo I learned a few things about h

I think what I'm probably dimly remembering is Arthur Young's "Travels in France" (a Brit crossing the channel). There are various others out there, a lot focused on criticizing the cultures they're visiting; if you

To be fair, sometimes the "Japan is backwards" spiel is focused solely on their technology. And I don't think that one is wrong, even today. The keiretsus have continued to do a very poor job at innovating.

It's interesting to consider that these "Japan is backwards" takes might persist in part simply because it hasn't melded with the global first world culture. I can go to various countries and very similar experiences at

I didn't know that! Pretty sure the enterprise license didn't exist when I bought it. I like these honour system enterprise licenses better than never-ending subscriptions, but they are becoming too common in the game industry.

Spine is really lovely. It was great back in 2019 when I used it to release a game. They released the 4.0 version a year later with a lot of updates and while I have no plans to make another 2D side-scrolling type of game... this one piece

I'm told that fried lungs are one of the great street foods. Haven't had a chance to try them yet, since North Americans tend to only use organs for dog food and haute cuisine, nothing in between.

"Society" in this context can also mean "a tiny number of primarily self-interested individuals". That tends to be evident when the most powerful or influential people also happen to be strict authoritarians.

This was wildly annoying. For anyone that has been procrastinating on fixing it, all you need to do is open the command line and enter: reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32&quot

There's also Sparkel, which uses a baking soda + citric acid powder in a separate reaction chamber. The cost is pretty low per bottle if you buy the bulk powders and mix it yourself; has been a while but when I had a Sparkel, I think I

Arguably, Unity could survive without the game engine -- they just need to survive the consolidation of the mobile ad business. Many companies already used Unity Ads without using Unity engine, even moreso after the acquisition / near
