We can only hope the rocket wasn’t intended to hit a hospital, but it doesn’t get much better in any case.

Four! Five! Fire!

Can I run this on Synology?

93% with NextDNS and HaGeZi Ultimate.

Even as a lifetime plex pass subscriber, I have ditched it completely in favor of Jellyfin.

And how is it tech?

I’m pretty sure most of the people running Beehaw are more than happy with people saying bad things about Musk. But it does get a little spammy, it’s honestly not all that interesting after a while?

X.com was the online bank that Musk co-founded and that some time after it merged with Confinity Inc. changed its name to PayPal (PayPal was a product of Confinity).

Edit: think this got double posted.

I think to many of us, Microsoft is definitely the best option for someone buying Activision/Blizzard. They have been willing to give new life to old IP, they have given purchased studios freedom and support to follow their projects and take the time needed, they bring games to both PC and console and now many more platforms with Cloud Gaming, and they have a generally professional work culture.

Microsoft at least used to famously “eat your own dog food “ during development of new Windows versions. This means that the developers themselves had to install the latest build and then use that while continuing development. This could lead to longer delays when crucial parts didn’t work.

AFAIK this trend started with David Cutler (legendary developer) and the development of the original Windows NT. You still need a fair bit of building blocks developed individually before you have something large enough to assembly to a build.

In those days, they sat mostly on OS/2 while developing parts for the kernel and boot system etc. Then some specifically precarious items to roll into the build and have everyone start using was networking, file system, and graphical interface. Bugs here hampered everyone (like, how do you create a new build of windows with new parts when networking / sharing files doesn’t work?).

Today I’ll imagine more development is performed on VMs so that it’s much less noisy when stuff doesn’t work. I’m sure at lot of developers still willingly or not install the version they are working on. However, it will probably be a little later with more working parts, and not updating every day etc.

It’s not really the hours that means the most to me, it just gives me focus on it and help to avoid evening snacks. I get to a really nice phase of burning when I manage this properly for a while.

Edit: and I would never worry about an apple if I was hungry.

I’m actually opposite. I’ve always eaten early breakfast regardless of hunger since in Norway it’s supposed to be the most important meal of the day that sets you up for the rest of the day.

Lately though I’m trying to get 14-16 hours of fast every day (night), and it’s just easier skipping early morning than to have to go the whole long evening without anything.

I don’t do this fast because it’s supposed to be extra healthy or anything, I just do it because it seems to put my body into a good state of burning energy (combined with eating regularly and exercising fairly often), which is something I’d like to do more of currently.

I’m pretty close to yours - I eat one half avocado, two eggs sunny side up, and then a dash of mayo in the center of the avocado and fill it generally with shrimps. For me this keeps me full for a good while and I feel healthy and with a good stomach.

I usually only eat one full meal before dinner, but I’ll often have a banana, protein shake and apple as well.

If I’m working from home I try to wait with “breakfast” until there is a good pause between meetings, usually around lunch.

Fair enough, we’ll just disagree then. I personally have no problem with this game increasing in price since I think it’s also increasingly giving value. I believe the studio runs an honest business and have honest expenses, and if this is what they need then I much prefer this over random sales, constant DLCs if you want to continue to get value, in game marketing and micro transactions etc.

I don’t really understand your take. They sold the game cheap after 7 years of development and it’s still a really good value after the increases in price. I couldn’t praise the developers and how they run this game / business enough.

Factorio returns an ever increasing value for the money due to the continuous effort the developers have put in especially on modding, and on the ever expanding quality and amount of mods that gives you a whole new game many times over.

I cannot think of a game that has better value for money than Factorio.

The only downside is that you will spend an indeterminate amount of time playing the game and when you think your finally done, there is another game changing mod that will give you another full and even longer gameplay, for free.

There’sa free demo you can download to try it out and see if it’s something you’d value.

Let me just keep it civil and say that we absolutely never will see eye to eye, and I have no interest in trying to change your mind. I’ve said my peace on your argument technique and definitely stand by it after your reply, and I’m happy to leave it there.

Tesla apologetics, who have a vested interest in it being correct

I think this is a little dangerous way of arguing. Now suddenly everyone that argues in favor of Tesla is an apologetic with a vested interest in being correct?

Everyone making a forum post have a vested interest in being correct, and you can make arguments for a case without being an “apologetic” / apostle / evangelist / fanboy etc.

In short, I don’t like this way of making arguments and trying to group all your argument opponents into some non thinking hive mind.
