They mean 100% nitrogen. If they just filled chip bags with regular air they would be more sensitive to pressure changes.

They filed a fuck load of patents. This is one of them.

Translation: mounts that can walk and fly. Which already exist in God knows how many games.

If Nintendo can patent MOUNTS in the year of our lord 2025, that lemming can patent logic gates.

I wish that I could fly!

The fact that macarena has been played at nearly every wedding I’ve been to is diabolical.

I bought some plant burgers a while back and they were pretty decent. I struggled to fully cook them and they ended up kinda carbonized on the outside and a little underdone in the middle so the consistency wasn’t great, but fairly convincing taste-wise.

Heh. Out of curiosity how many nfts did you buy?

The combat and ship customization (parts, not cosmetics) keep me coming back to ED over NMS. The core gameplay is somewhat samey with your options being combat, mining, trading, or exploration, but there is a bit more incentive. Players can now colonize their own systems, and powerplay is some complex bullshit that I occasionally participate in.

NMS is kind of a chill vibe, which I don’t mind, but I’m not creative enough to build ambitions bases so once I collected everything I was kinda burnt out. Also fuck fleet stuff.

No don’t wipe your keyboard, you’ll ruin the seasoning.

Watch. Nerds playing DDR in front of people is basically their mating dance.

GZW is better. Fight me.

It’s cool but not magic. If you’re trying to fuck with something, you need to know what frequency it’s on and what sort of signals do what. There is a bunch of preloaded stuff though, and a wide variety of tools like radio frequencies, nfc, Bluetooth, rfid, and infrared. So far the most useful thing I’ve done is turn the volume down on fox News on tvs in public areas.

Oh one thing I still have to try: some, maybe most handicap buttons for doors are actually radio frequency based and not hard wired, so if you can capture and replay the open signal, you could open a door without hitting the button and look totally jedi.

That’s a war crime, not a food.

I used to cook super bland food and eventually started just tossing whatever seems good into the recipe while cooking. It usually works out somehow, especially with garlic and onion. Even something as simple as a half teaspoon of dried onion in a cheapo ramen pack does wonders for the flavor. I decided to try coating a burger in fresh diced onion while pan cooking (hate grill flavor sue me) and then scraping it off after and it adds a nice touch without being overwhelming. A splash of Worcestershire sauce into most anything involving teriyaki.

Oh VANILLA EXTRACT IN PANCAKES. If you haven’t done that yet you are missing out. That’s not really a wild invention but surprisingly few people I know have done it.

On a different note, I ended up taking a job completely unrelated to my comp sci degree. Always felt weird about it, but looking at coding job prospects now, I feel like I dodged a massive bullet.

Yeah not a chance. Li-po batteries cooking off is pretty fantastic, but it’s more of a spewing fire thing than an exploding thing.

No, I was actually asking because I didn’t want to automatically assume you are a tankie, but seeing as this is a relatively fresh account that only cries about shitlibs on meanwhileongrad, I think that speaks for itself.

The tankie perspective on Ukraine would require me to be a massive western chauvinist. Basically I’d have to believe that the CIA psyop’d the cast majority of Ukraine into wanting closer economic ties with the EU, that yanukovych is a NATO puppet who got elected promising closer EU ties, then did a full 180 on that position specifically to spark a revolution, then also supported the revolution and performed false flag killings of protesters. And then they baited putin into sending little green men across the border, sustaining low level conflict for almost 10 years, then in a master stroke suckered him into an unprepared full scale invasion into a brick wall, wasting tens of thousands of Soviet vehicles and over a million killed and wounded and revealing Russia as a paper tiger.

If you think none of that was organic and the US and NATO orchestrated the downfall of Russia’s military, you have much more faith in their power than me.

Downplaying or downright whitewashing the role of the USA is … lacking, at best.

What did they do specifically?

“The Ukraine” specifically referred to the Ukraine region of the USSR. Since it gained independence its just been “Ukraine.” Typically anyone calling it “The Ukraine” is either misinformed or some flavor of Russian nationalist.

And you forgot the part where russian imperialism is basically working as a recruitment drive for NATO. If you want to call Ukraine a proxy war, sure, but who the fuck started it?

The Ukraine
