That’s a misconception. Farmers lobbied heavily against DST. Their work does not abide by the clock; they milk when cows need milking, and they harvest when there’s enough light, no matter what some clock says.
In Europe, DST as we know it now was first introduced by Germany during WW1 to preserve coal, then abandoned after the war, and widely adopted again in the 70s. In the US it was established federally in the 60s.
This is all glossing over a lot of regional differences and older history. But yeah, US farmers were very much against the idea.
Vivaldi with built-in ad block. Every once in a while YouTube changes something and ads get through for a couple of days. Then a Vivaldi update fixes it again quickly. I assume Vivaldi is too small a target for YouTube to care more.
I often feel this bot is no better than selecting random bits from an article. I’m exaggerating a bit, but it’s clear the bot doesn’t actually understand the essence of what’s written.
That said, I do still appreciate it for getting at least a gist of what an article is about. And I very much appreciate the people working on it and making it available.
You’re looking at this the wrong way. Why would you want a KVM? What you want is a genuine Apple (tm) Mighty (tm) Magic (tm) Mouse (tm) with a single button.
A couple of years ago I started playing through the AC games in order. Like you, I had picked several up for free (starting with Unity when the Notre Dame burned), and completed the collection (except the most recent ones) with nice discounts.
I liked Syndicate a lot, especially after Unity which I really disliked. The not-quite-steampunk setting appealed to me, and compared to Unity it controlled much better. I absolutely hated the PC controls in Unity.
I also liked Evie, but honestly could’ve done without Jacob. The sibling idea sounds good on paper, but I don’t think it works. And Jacob is just the less interesting one. I also feel some of the twists in their relationship came out of nowhere.
Gameplay wise the rope launcher was fun. I disliked how often you’d get into a fight just for walking down a street, and using the rope was a good way to escape or avoid that.
Looking back at it, I think this is my second favourite AC. The story is much less compelling than several others, but the setting and characters make up for it.
“This button turns on the light in the hallway. Sometimes it brings the whole house down on you, but we haven’t found a way to reliably reproduce this. If that happens just crawl from under the rubble, rebuild the house, and try again. This time the light should turn on.“
I’m finally getting around to Mass Effect. So far I’m really enjoying it. The first time you get to explore what I assume is the main hub, it’s pretty cool.
I also enjoyed The Witcher 1 a few years ago, but was thoroughly disappointed with 2.
Last year I played Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 and enjoyed both, though I prefer 1.
I’ll join the others in saying it’s definitely worth a try. The main character’s actress does a phenomenal job.
As for the hardware, I think it will do fine, but be sure to try it within 2 weeks of purchase (and not play more than two hours) so the Steam refund policy can protect you if needed.
Pointing out hypocrisy can be relevant, but often is just whataboutism. It is perfectly valid to have different opinions on similar situations, because no two situations are completely equivalent.
That said, anyone arguing in good faith should be prepared to examine their own biases as well - as long as they really are relevant to the latter at hand.
It was the style at the time.
It’s a reference to The Simpsons.
