Almost makes me wonder if this is a mechanical turk situation.

The “media” has spent the last week setting the bar so low that when Trump comes out hopped up on stimulants, nothing in the debate itself will matter, and he will get a huge boost from simply not appearing as old as Biden did.

One second ago I put a dollar on my dresser. That’s on pace to be 30 million in a year.

I’m not sure I even made it 1/10 of the way. I want to like the game but there was just nothing compelling me to continue or to pick it back up. The combat was especially disappointing. They captured the monotony of an rpg button masher without the ability to just zone out or multitask while playing. Also seems way to reliant on the moonerang.

It has been a few years, but I was once asked to implement 800-171. The document was aggressively vague and really the sort of thing that requires hiring a consultant to setup and probably at least one FTE to maintain. Thankfully our project was abandoned before I had to start looking for other employment just get away from the damn thing.

So I emphasize with Georgia Tech for not perfectly implementing the rules to the governments confusing standards.

However, the researchers refusal to run anti-virus even when required by the contract was just stupid. “Academic freedom” doesn’t mean anything when your grants are revoked or you get sued for millions over a breach. That said, they should have been able to work out some sort of “compensating control” to use instead of anti-virus and get that approved by the government.

Master of Orion I loved I and II. The third apparently bombed and reboots have failed.

Sim City I mean the real Sim city as Maxis would have made it. Not a cash grab, not a mobile game, not a “city painter” where any simulation takes a back seat to decorating with DLC assets.

Super Mario RPG no those other, spiritual successors do not count. They are fine games on their own but not the same.

Lost in Blue not the fanciest games, but I enjoyed them. There are plenty of modern games in the genre, but I haven’t found one that quite fits…

Locomotion was the official “spiritual” sequel, but I remember that game being horribly disappointing.

If I’m connecting the dots correctly, Hezbollah was preparing to strike Israel on behalf of Iran, all in retaliation for the assassination of a Hamas leader on Iranian soil…

I cannot imagine this will end well or Iran will just let it go.

Pluto was demoted in 2006, Harambe was killed in 2016. We are not ready for 2026.

Settings itself has been around in one form or another since at least Win95. 29 years…

Settings in Windows 11 is close. I rarely find myself going to control panel when it was about 50/50 in Windows 10. Still more clicks than I would like but workable.

Companies don’t even have to pay people for the time spent going through their own required security checks… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrity_Staffing_Solutions,_Inc._v._Busk

Clearly the sphinxes are the remains of the ancient true cats that were turned to stone by space radiation after the real trees were cut down.

This looks like a massive own goal for the Alabama GOP. The relevant state constitution amendment was pushed through in response to covid 19 and they way many states improved voting access during the worst of the pandemic.

It was supposed to make it harder to expand voting access but now (briefly) did the opposite. Not that it matters much on a deep red state.

I hear he plans to bring in Patrick Rothfuss to pick up where he left off and also not finish the story.

Yeah. They treat profit like a necessary business expense or a cost, and balance their budgets around it. Which perverts a fundamental of economics.

I’m starting to think the stock market is just a really awful bank that is sometimes also a ponzi scheme.

I hope Starbucks fans like waiting hours to get the wrong order.

investment arm of the Southern Baptist churches

I’m not one of those people who complains about religious tax exemptions and the like. But if you have an “investment arm” then you are not a church, you are some sort of weird, cultist bank.

Make it 20 years, but only if it proven to be a team issue and not individual.
