I half expected ‘Just like if I’m serving soup, it’s coming with a fork. I just hate spoons’

Finding the source was a bit complicated, but it seems to be from episode 7 of DNA², the description of which does not match what you remember: web.archive.org/web/20120621103752/…/index2.php?p…

Easy Delivery Co is a good one, but for me it feels like it doesn’t give you enough freedom to be that.
But yeah, Sam Porter Bridges driving a car from Initial D on Play Station 1 is kinda what it feels like

I didn’t even understand the point that it was a lie, and not the original comment had a lie, reading skill issue

I would say Mads Mikkelsen is a plus, but it’s terrain traversal that should define a genre.

Are you sure the story is real? I can find anything that points to it, so a link would help a lot

Don’t know, I’ve seen swans being total assholes in Finland, in Estonia, in Czechia, so maybe in Germany around Baltic shore they are also not seen as calm
There are a lot of animals that are seen completely not how they are, based on vibes, like wise owls, or cunning snakes, etc

I like the title of the seagull video, that’s very on point

Ah, yeah, I thought it was if we go extinct, not if we never existed

Are they overdue to go extinct somehow?

Yeah, we better think of making some solid gold equipment for tennis

I think maybe it’s because almost any vapourwave scam has some legitimate use (NFT is definitely an exception, so maybe I’m totally wrong with other cases, too)
- Comment on Jack Dorsey's New Company Falling Apart as It Forces Employees to Use AI 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, and that’s possible even if they take it for a joke that it is (or isn’t)
- Comment on Jack Dorsey's New Company Falling Apart as It Forces Employees to Use AI 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, the thing also has limited scope and requires some meddling to point to necessary includes as evidenced by the first issue, afair. And the code produced is subpar I heard
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 weeks ago:
The Witcher 2, native Linux version
That is a bit more problematic than it should, the launcher doesn’t work without discontinued dependencies, the configuration doesn’t work at all (had to edit configuration file manually), and the controls seem a bit off so I decided to play on easy difficulty not to embarrass myself too much with doing completely wrong moves because they are mapped in a weird way (imo)
But it still looks pretty good and seems interesting so far, it will definitely take a lot of time to explore, and then I will still have a third game to play

This shouldn’t be a problem anatomically, it’s hard to eat anything with a foot in your mouth anyway
- Comment on xkcd #3207: Bad Map Projection: Zero Declination 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, afaik, there’s need for accounting for magnetic North difference from North when navigating even on foot, so it’s stated on the map with small enough scale

Same on Thunder, I thought it’s intentional
- Comment on it's a long distance relationship 1 month ago:
If this apparent relationship between flares and decay rates proves true, it could lead to a method of predicting solar flares prior to their occurrence
So, can we predict the flares now? I’ve taken a look at Ephraim Fischbach’s articles and it seems that we’re very far from that, so the article you linked is interesting but overstates the facts by a lot. This is what I found the best explanation so far:
Some experiments seem to yield strong evidence of variability of beta-decay rates, but other experiments may show little or no such evidence. Some recent experiments help clarify the situation. In particular, a certain oscillation appears in neutrino measurements made at the Super-Kamiokande Neutrino Observatory and in radon beta-decay measurements made at the Geological Survey of Israel, with identical frequency (9.43 years ⁻¹ ), amplitude and phase, strengthening the case for an influence of neutrinos on beta decays. A review of current experimental information leads us to suggest that 1) beta-decay rates do not change, but 2) the angular distribution of decay products may be anisotropic, and 3) the angular distribution of decay products may be influenced by the ambient neutrino flux. It appears that experiments at standards laboratories tend to be insensitive to direction, and this may be the reason that they tend not to exhibit evidence of variability.
And even this I would take with a grain of salt

The this:
[Author] portrays Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. In the novel, the people who live in Shangri-La are almost immortal, living hundreds of years beyond the normal lifespan and only very slowly ageing in appearance

Which ones?

I guess whether this is true or not will be a defining point of the whole lawsuit

Some games are region-locked because the localisation is done by building another binary, Fallouts were like that, and some other I can’t remember, maybe it was this
I too am afraid to change region because Valve is very opaque in how they change availability, and there definitely were precedents of games not just being delisted but still available if you have them, but also disappearing completely from you library
