Amazing news and you love to hear it! I’m so happy Tarn and Zach get to benefit from their passion project. TBH i haven’t played since they introduced magic. I got distracted by other things. But I 100% bought it through steam as soon as it was released, just out of appreciation

So if you’ve played Rimworld it’ll feel familiar. Much more complex but part of that complexity is because you can traverse the Z axis, and make multi-level fortresses. I don’t think Tarn has ever recoded to allow multi thread processing, so everything runs on a single CPU core (my info may be out of date). If that’s still the case At any rate, the end of every fortress (that doesn’t succumb to a mood spiral or a were-beast or an elf invasion or the circus or forgetting to pack an anvil or vampires or a cavern collapse) is fps death. Usually from cats. But remember, losing is fun!

The original comic was about the learning curve of various games. The black line represents Dwarf Fortress

The original comic was very accurate

Oh cool, i see your using Gboard and not editing it’s nonsense a week. It really frustrating going back and editing all of the mistakes it makes, so i just have up. Life is much simpler for me now, although others can’t really understand me all of the time. But that’s their problem

I’ve found Grayjay helps me hate YouTube less

Oh I ain’t dead, I’m just real depressed

If i knew of any execs near where i live they would be getting a front row seat to my reenactment of the Office Space printer scene.

It’s rare for me to viscerally hate someone just for existing, but if i met an HP exec I would have to exert quite a bit of self control to not beat them until I lost feeling in my hands

Detective 1: Whaddya got, Johnson?

Detective 2: Weeeeelllllll, looks like Mr.Paxton was killed by a bunch of pigs

Detective 1: What!? But Ken Paxton was a huge law and order politician! He fully supported law enforcement! Why, the only union to support him was the police union. Why in the world would any cop, let alone several, want to kill him?

Detective 2: …

Detective 1: …

Detective 2: Jesus Murphy, it was wild hogs

The unwritten rule

There were quite a lot of unwritten rules prior to 2016

Hard disagree. I’m using g board, from Alphabet, which is about as concerned with privacy as a nudist exhibitionist with a shame kink. That is to say, privacy as a concept exists yes, but only to be perverted.

The only comfort is that I’m not the only one with random capitalization in my texts

All right, I’ll take a shot at it. What the hell, it works on Star Trek.

Roosevelt ran for president on his own Progressive ticket, which became known as the Bull Moose Party after the former president joked that he felt “as strong as bull moose.” Democrat Woodrow Wilson won that November’s election, but Roosevelt came in second, winning 88 electoral votes compared to just 8 for Taft, the incumbent.

Ok, imagine being so unpopular that you not only lose the vote as an incumbent, but you also lost to a third party candidate, and only got 8 votes in the electoral college

Jokes on you, i don’t own a house, can’t have a pet in my apartment, and my knees are already bad.

I love this timeline

Thank you! This was actually my first attempt at free form poetry, it just kind of flowed out of me. It only took till middle age for inspiration to strike lol

We are commodities

We exist to be bought and sold

By the ruling class

I have been bought and sold

Many many times

But only my thoughts

And identity

And words

And face

So that’s okay

I’ll just scroll other stolen thoughts

On a phone built by an eight year old

Who was bought

And sold

Half a world away

First off, that website is an ad dumpster fire. UBlock is a requirement.

Second, here’s the write from the article referencing his Facebook post:

He wrote: “Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.”

NGL hating in heat pumps is like hating on EVs because they need charged longer than it takes to fill up a tank of gas. Yes the use case is not exactly 1:1 to the existing system, but it’s an improvement for energy use and emissions overall. (Not saying you’re hating on heat pumps, just a general observation)

By 2040, these states—California, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Rhode Island—are aiming for 90 percent of those shipments to be heat pumps.

The coalition’s announcement comes just months after the federal government doubled down on its own commitment to heat pumps, announcing $169 million in funding for the domestic production of the systems.

These are the states, and the article doesn’t seem to go into detail on what the actual programs are in each state. However, i only skimmed the article

Yarr, it surely be
