Same, that was about when I started emotionally preparing for 4 more years of Trump.

When I was a kid they told me they skipped E on report cards, because it was too easy to change into a B. I was like. Wouldn’t it be just as easy to turn an F into an A?

Oh nice, never heard of that one, thanks. I just revisit Ogre Battle 64 on the emulator every few years haha.

With a billion dollars, they could have made some actual space rockets.

B&H Photo will not process your order on the Jewish day of rest, it’s amazing. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/httwww.bhphotovideo.com/find/SHcalendar.jsp

Well of course you gotta think, Reddit and Twitter were also probably getting a lot more hits than Low Tech Mag 😅

All FPS controller-based controls are inferior to keyboard+mouse.

Yes. This is why I never really liked Goldeneye that much. Just never got the big deal.

Halo is the first one that I thought was decent. I didn’t say it had good controls, I said decent 😂

Really never played another game quite like Ogre Battle 64, that one was great.

Halo was the first console FPS with decent controls. I said it. They’re all borderline unplayable before that.

Some consider it an ableist term

Yep, always felt the same way. Can’t be seriously suggested in a professional environment simply because of its name. Whole project been shooting itself in the foot with a machine gun since day 1.

I mean. Kinda. Usually they have to pay for their own training/EMT school before they even get the job.

$1400 is unrealistically cheap to the point where I’m pretty sure it’s part of the punch line here

Due to reasons I took an ambulance ride. For one and a half miles. From one hospital to another. They billed my insurance $6K

Yes, when people get to a certain level of rich, they generally lack vision and imagination; they don’t need it anymore.

I think there’s a lot of money to be made in confronting climate change… but it will be made more than two fiscal quarters in the future, so capitalists are not just willing, but actually proud to ignore it.

It’s unfortunately definitely a counterproductive thing if it makes you believe stuff like “capitalism is when people use money.” People still used money in the USSR. Capitalism is about transnational social control, accomplished through use of surplus value accumulation & compound interest to acquire controlling ownership of international corporations (which can then use their international nature to dodge legal accountability from the countries they operate in, typically in a highly colonialist way).

Capitalism is not a bunch of farmers at a farmer’s market. It is an act of strategic class violence.

Pickpocketing is not a thing in America. Too subtle. We are a mugging people. However, I will say that your chances of encountering gang violence as a tourist/traveler are quite low. The main danger when visiting here is the government/police.

I wonder if short hops in electric propeller planes are gonna take over everything in a few years. Like it will be the cheapest option for any trip under about 800 miles. Cheaper than driving, even in an electric car. A few Canadian companies are already doing this with seaplanes, where most of the trips are under 30 minutes anyway.

This tech is mature, in the US we’re just waiting on the FAA to certify it.

The meme says “one white guy who really fucks with keeping the fire going.” He’s clearly not fucking with the fire. He’s keeping it going.
