Bobson Dugnutt is headlining next year

I mean, of course she is. She didn’t convince Waltz to retire just for fun.

Stephen Miller looks like if Peewee Herman was the president of his high school’s Young Republicans club.

You can check to see if your congressional rep has endorsed impeaching Kristi Noem over the military-style occupation

Spoiler alert: it’s only Democrats

“Hotseat” multiplayer isn’t in the game at all yet.

TL;DW:

The flavor mostly comes from essential plant and spice oils such as nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon, lime, and quite a few others.

Surprisingly, there seems to be a small amount of vinegar that’s essential to getting the correct flavor.

There’s also a mandatory heating step that allows the phosphoric acid to “develop” some of the raw flavor compounds from the essential oils into more complex compounds with different flavors.

In the end, it’s all stuff you can buy yourself. The start-up cost of getting all the ingredients and equipment is high, but once you have them you’d basically be set for life and could make your own coke for much cheaper than buying the “real” stuff at the store.

Noooo, not even close. There may be some senior devs in AAA studios making bank, but the vast majority of people doing the day-to-day art and development work on games typically get much worse pay and benefits than similar roles in other parts of the tech sphere.

A lot of people are very passionate about making games, and the games industry heavily exploits that passion to short change its workers. A lot of (mostly young) devs are willing to accept less pay to work on games because they feel like it will be more fulfilling than working on other mindless corporate crap, and those who do get jobs in the industry are afraid to ask for more money or try to unionize because they know there are a dozen equally passionate candidates waiting to replace them for less money if they make too many waves.

The result is that wages stay lower than other tech jobs and hours worked are much higher. With AI on the rise the problem will no doubt get even worse as execs use it as an excuse to shrink teams and “do more with less”.

highly paid developers

Not in the games industry, lol

Any good astronomer knows that the real binary is metal/non-metal

People aren’t lazy, we just all live in a social media landscape where, when someone posts a link with an intentionally provocative title, it’s rarely worth the effort to engage with it enough to find out if they’re being sarcastic or sincere.

Sometimes this means that well-meaning people get downvoted. Oh well. Learn to read the room.

Well, there might still be some furries left

“He did not take the Fifth like some of his deputies did,”

I think this is the point. Smith told his deputies to do whatever they felt was necessary to protect themselves because he wants to be fully accountability for the investigation and his team. That sort of conviction is sadly rare these days… maybe even newsworthy.

Was it treason when he was making shitposts about Biden’s health, I wonder?

Using an IDE to write code is like using a pie tin to help you make a pie.

Using generative AI is like going to the local bakery, breaking their window, and stealing the pie.

Simping for magnetism

My new band name

I heard his blood type is ranch dressing

He’s 80 and he has a very long and public history of making terrible health choices

Mike Johnson always looks like he’s just been hit by that first stomach knot before explosive diarrhea.

I’ve never played this game and don’t know anything about it that I didn’t just read in the article… but there’s just something so rad about a game called “Let it Die” having such a graceful end-of-life plan like this.

Fusion neutrons are able to cause fission in ordinarily non-fissile materials, such as depleted uranium (uranium-238), and these materials have been used in the jackets of thermonuclear weapons.

Fun(?) fact: something like 50% of the energy output of thermonuclear bombs comes from secondary fission events in the bomb casing triggered by the high energy neutron flux of the fusion reaction.
