There has been some recent investment in trying to make plant based rubber in the US again:

We even have an app for it now: apt install hollywood

Commercial yogurt. Yeah maybe it's just a tasty and healthy probiotic. Or maybe it's a way for food conglomerates to change our gut bacteria so that we crave even more foods with cheap sugar.

Would I rather live in a world where sometimes people take advantage of kindness or a world where nobody helps anyone in need? I'll take the former.

Dome Keeper isn't too bad. Hoping they add co-op soon. Their next game looks amazing though:

Yeah, thankfully those tend not to be the titles I have any interest in playing. Just more high budget over marketed repetitive DLC and DRM ridden shiny piles of garbage.

My guess would be to play games smoothly that are so horribly un-optimized they run poorly on all hardware.

More fun with trolleys:

Putting bombs in widely distributed electronics makes you a terrorist as does launching rockets at civilians. Whatever their goals it is their actions that define them.

That's been my impression as well. Other countries recovering from a conflict seem to have a lot of people still looking for others to blame for their problems but Iraqis seem more interested in just trying to make things a little better each day. I think if they can hold on to that hope their future will be bright.

Games got a lot more complicated and many use so many 3rd party add-ins that just sorting through what you have rights to release can be a pretty big task and not worth it if what you can release ends up unusable with all of them removed.

National Test Your Backups day. So much time and money lost because people either don't backup their data or assume they have when they have not. (Ok it's not a real holiday but it should be)

Exactly, just got to find that balance. Like slacking off and playing games at work.
Or my fav: playing complex games that are basically a second job!

I've developed a taste for Sparkling Ice lately, especially their Black Cherry. It's got a bit of real fruit juice in it and tastes way better than most other seltzer type drinks that usually rate somewhere from meh to vomit inducing.
They also have caffeinated versions but those have a bit too much for my liking.

I'm also confused, in the mod browser I see Mineclonia and Mineclone2 but no Mineclonia2. Which is better?

It does have full controller support and lots of on-screen directions for what buttons do what. How fun it is with controller I can't attest to, I'm sticking with M+KB.

I guess if you want to be paranoid you could get a new hard drive and install just what you want for the LAN and keep personal info off it. Then just swap back when you get home.

It's just a slightly more formal sounding title. This answer on stackexchange goes through some of the history on why alternatives aren't used.

I think it's pronounced "Madam President"
