I just finished The Invincible. Runs like dogshit on my system (i5-9600 16Gb/RX6650XT 8Gb), but very engaging for a walking simulator. About ten hours long and very little replay value unless you're a completionist. Recommended if that sounds like your cup of tea, but don't pay full price.

I freely admit that I don't know that much about ActivityPub or SDF infrastructure, but the issue of server load bothers me. Threads is huge and has all of FB's CDN behind it. The SDF crew are great, but this strikes me as a potential DDoS-level threat. Someone who knows more than me, please put my mind at ease.

I do see your point regarding it becoming gimmicky, but I feel like it'd be useful for arranging windows and jump positions. I can also see a "Now where did I put thing X?" situation arising and it'd be handy to get an overview.

I really, really like this. To add some complexity can I suggest being able to zoom out and in as well?

Yeah I used to have one too, was fairly sure it closed down.

Calzone hypercube

Starch, not bread. In the case of sushi, that'd be rice.

Food tech is kinda my area, so I went and did a little research and it turned into quite a ride. For cultural context, grilled (broiled in the US, I think) cheese and Vegemite is kind of a traditional Aussie snack. Just a slice of white bread with butter and Vegemite, slice of cheese on top, stick it under the grill.

The Kraft singles I remember from my childhood absolutely did not behave like anything resembling real cheese when you did this. It melted on the inside, sure. But the outside just dried out and turned into a kind of plasticky skin, then bubbled and burned. So you were left with this partially blackened and crunchy cling-film like skin disguising a thin layer of vaguely dairy-adjacent molten plastic goop that was guaranteed to stick to and sear the roof of your mouth. Then the skin came off in one piece and slapped you on the chin with the equally hot residue of said plastic goop. For some reason kids loved this.

I'm not sure when OP last ate them, but the Kraft singles I know got axed in like 2017 when Mondelez sold their cheese line to Bega. That makes it incredibly hard to track down the original formula to figure out what in the world they were really made of. They have, however, since been re-released and claim to be at least 45% cheese, which I suspect is a lot more than the ones I remember, probably does melt, and falls pretty squarely into the "processed cheese" definition according to FSANZ. There's no way in hell I'm buying some to try it though.

Strictly speaking, yes. It's better to get calories and marginal nutrients than no calories and no nutrients.

Definitely seek medical attention though. Eating like that isn't sustainable and a cold shouldn't last that long.

That’s academic for “we have no idea what this was for”. Except in the case of “fertility ritual” – that means it’s a sex toy.

I like the way you think, but that's kind of not true these days. We have streaming services and rights holders just straight deleting shit or producing shitty sequels and reboots just to keep the IP out of public domain. IDK about your location but here FTA is basically dead. It's all shitty reality shows being hosted by third rate celebs from other reality shows because they either can't or won't produce or pay for actual content.

Probably a bit hard to justify the price for this purpose, but there are a few really high end dedicated music players out there that run Android. I know Sony make one, and I believe some of the Fiio players run Android too.

Recording from free to air is legal because of the "time shifting" argument. The show is being broadcast regardless, just because it's at an inconvenient time for you doesn't mean you should have to miss it. It's also worth noting that media producers fought tooth and nail against this.

I'm running mine on Pi4. It works, but I wouldn't really recommend it. It needs frequent reboots and tends to choke on anything over 1080.

The shit they will do to avoid paying actors.

Well what did you expect from an advertising company with a side hustle in web search.

Maybe with a jailbreak

And they told us TV would rot our brains.

They exist.
