Well, it is canon that the Abrahamic god kills children en masse sometimes. He does love a good genocide.

Put a much more simple and meaningful way rather than subdivisions: Australia is only about 5% smaller than the contiguous US (“lower 48”).

“Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out at the promises of…”

There’s no way around that unless we start spelling things a lot more differently around the English-speaking world. We have enough trouble with the relatively minor spelling differences between UK and US English as it is, increasing that confusion is far worse than having spelling decoupled from pronunciation.

Not even “vote Democrat,” she just urged people to vote period. And linked to Vote.org encouraging people to research what would be on their ballot. The fact that the right takes this as an attack on them isn’t surprising to anyone.

Officially they’re on hiatus. They originally said they were retiring the line, but then changed their tune and stated that the Bolt line will return after they can implement their new EV battery tech in them. I believe the statements have been imprecise about when that will be, but potentially sometime in 2025 (meaning the 2026 model). That’s assuming no delays or changes to the plan.

If you want a new Bolt without waiting for the revived line, I’d think about acting soon. They’re moving really quickly in my area. I’m really happy with the EUV so far, but I’m still only at like 250 miles. I didn’t go for the Premier since I don’t care about adaptive cruise control or their “Super Cruise” self driving thing.

I’m about 3 weeks into my Bolt EUV ownership. Literally never considered any of their other EVs based on price alone. Really happy with my Bolt EUV so far, and really glad I snagged one before they stopped making them. For all their talk of limited demand, there was a lot of competition in my area to get one.

Who is John? Everyone knows JRR Tolkien stands for Jolkien Rolkien Rolkien Tolkien.

My wife and I also keep our Keepass passwords in each other’s Bitwarden vaults.

So to lose access we’d both have to simultaneously forget our Bitwarden passwords AND be locked out of any biometric login. I consider that sufficiently unlikely.

I doubt that would affect Wi-Fi, but what does affect it (at least 2.4 GHz frequencies) is microwaves. They operate at the same frequency and interfere with the router’s output waves.

My wife refused to believe me until I had her run a speed test and watch the signal drop when I started up the microwave, then rise again when I turned it off.

Ease of syncing across devices has me using an internet-based password manager (Bitwarden), but I keep a second local-only password manager (Keepass) that only stores my Bitwarden password. Just in case.

You seem annoyed at either possibility here. Which would you prefer?

Because if they let third party scrapers access the private data without user action, it’s not private and they may as well not do this at all.

I was born in 1993 and I did that with my neighborhood friends too.

Hands down the worst phone I’ve had was the Nexus 6P. The battery issues were incredibly bad, to the point there was a successful class action lawsuit about it.

Since that was a Google phone manufactured by Huawei, I have no idea how that contributes to this conversation but it seemed relevant. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A chance for Faramir, Captain of FOSS, to show his quality.

You forgot to summon them: tankie, tankie, tankie

There, that should get them to chime in.

This strategy can backfire if your game gets popular enough. If both versions are counted separately and they each pass 1mil downloads and the 12 month revenue threshold then you’re paying the higher per-install fee brackets twice.

To demonstrate, let’s imagine a game like this has 4 million installs in the first year and uses the Enterprise plan for the best pricing structure.

Scenario A: single version

• First 1,000,000 @ $0.00: $0
• 1,000,001-1,100,000 @ $0.125 : $12,500
• 1,100,001-1,500,000 @ $0.06 : $24,000
• 1,500,001-2,000,000 @ $0.02 : $10,000
• 2,000,001-4,000,000 @ $0.01 : $20,000
• Total cost: $66,500

Scenario B: two versions priced separately, 2 mil installs each

Each one is the first four lines above, so the total cost is $46,500*2 = $93,000

In either scenario, additional installs beyond these 4 million cost $0.01 each (regardless of which game it’s installed on). There’s a fine line of staying below the annual revenue thresholds (or not too far above) where this strategy does save you money.

I have a pipe dream of slowly developing a game of my own, but even if I think I could eventually figure out my own homebrew engine, the whole thing is operating on my free time so that’s even more unrealistic of a goal that’s either gonna lead nowhere or to massive headache down the line.

So I looked around and liked a few things about Unity:

• 2D game support
• Easy publishing to consoles
• Free to develop in while I test the waters
• Plethora of training material available

I’ve sunk a decent amount of time into training materials already, and was starting to feel good about the whole process when this news hit. Not even gonna question it, I’m looking elsewhere. Godot looking mighty tempting to avoid any shenanigans like this. Ultimately if my dream ever realizes I’d like to be able to publish to console, but there are routes available for that with Godot and maybe the options would improve by the time I reach that point.

Easily my favorite modern comedian. His live shows are really good too.
