When I was in grad school I would split the difference with 25 slides and 57 backup slides clicked together frantically 15 minutes earlier
Edit: It seems I may be wrong after all.
Original post: Between this and Johnson saying Biden should resign as president, it makes me think they are trying to limit Harris to one term. If Biden were to die or resign then Harris would become president for a few months but that would still count as her first term, so she wouldn’t be able to run for reelection in 2028 if she won this time.
That’s my theory anyway 🤷♀️
Things got a bit weird before the invention of the pencil sharpener
That does tend to simplify the aerodynamics modeling
Horses evolved this way so they could forever be giving you “the finger”
Hmm let’s see. So the Subnautica games are survival games with a lot of exploring, uncovering mysteries, finding logs, figuring out what happened to you, the alien civilization, the ecosystem, etc.
If you like Obra Dinn, recommended elsewhere in this thread, The Case of the Golden Idol has some similar energy of looking at scenes and solving who’s who and what’s what and how this person died.
Chants of Sennaar is a game where you decipher fantasy languages and learn about the peoples that speak them while progressing up a tower and solving puzzles.
Viewfinder is a surreal-perspective puzzler with lots of narration and backstory from the characters
Sable is an exploration game with puzzles to solve, in a fancifuil sci-fi desert world with towns and NPCs and crashed spaceships to explore
The old Escape Velocity trilogy (though nowadays you’ll need a classic Mac emulator to play them) are top-down ship captain games where you fly your ship around, trade, fight, do missions, usually have multiple storylines going on at once, lots of planets, ships, stations, factions, etc. The modern game Endless Sky is explicitly molded on the EV series.
Sunless Seas and its sequel Sunless Skies have some similarity to EV mechanically, but with a lovecraftian, steampunk aesthetic to the world, and lots of world-building.
Beyond Good and Evil is a third-person action game that has good plot, characters, and worldbuilding, and there are updated versions available that run on modern hardware.
Bastion is an isometric action game a little like Diablo in the combat mechanics but with no numbers for you to worry about. Explore the aftermath of a most peculiar apocalypse and discover the world that was and the peoples who lived there. Good characters and worldbuilding.
Deep underground, near the earth’s core where it’s still warm
Fun fact: soccer has no official rule against manipulating the ball with your eye lasers
It’s definitely not always done with general anesthesia in the US, unless standards have changed in the last couple decades? I had all mine taken out in the 2000s with just local.
For me (I use Kavita) it’s because I want to be able to just pick up whatever device is in front of me at the moment and pick up the book where I last left off even if it was on another device
They’re charging how much for 10-12 sq ft?
“Hostage negotiations now entering their fourth week between the U.S. and Hamas over the release of hostage Elon Musk, however in spite of intense diplomatic overtures and offers of significant concessions the U.S. still refuses to take him back”
Weird. Yep that one works for me on desktop (Firefox) and with the iOS app. Not sure what’s up then :/
Seems to be okay for me rn. Try restarting the browser maybe? Or it fixed itself in the few hours since your post 🤷♀️
I also use SponsorBlock for YouTube, which skips sponsor segments in YouTube videos (and optionally other kinds of segments like intros, self promos, etc.) it’s crowd-sourced for identifying the segments but for almost all the videos I watch someone has already marked at least the sponsor segments
It’s all I can do not to nest them 🙃
Definitely, at least in the modern day. I was surprised to see Jane Austen do it a few times in Pride and Prejudice but I don’t think it had quite the same connotation back then 😆
Next they’ll eliminate the stripe and put up share-the-road signs with the stick figure
Tree style tabs, which gives vertical tabs that you can arrange in a hierarchy to keep related ones together
Simple tab groups, which lets you have multiple sets of open tabs you can switch between (can you tell I have a problem with too many tabs?)
Unstick!, which when clicked removes any sticky elements, i.e. parts of the page that stay on your screen while you scroll. It’s great for removing all the bars and obstructions to reading that pages like to put in your way. For some reason I have to click it twice for it to work
Read aloud, a good text to speech extension to read pages or parts of pages to you. It can be used with cloud based neural voices from Google and Amazon with some setup
Consent-o-matic, which gets rid of the cookie consent popups for you and it’s configurable as to which types of cookies it will refuse or consent to for you
SponsorBlock for YouTube, which can auto skip sponsor reads and various other kinds of segments you select to be skipped
A few short months ago I would have said RES but, well 🤷♀️
have they tried graham crackers
