The only game I regularly play refuses to pay their anti-cheat for Linux support. After Windows 10 support ends, my gaming days are probably over.

It's rare to find local newspapers owned locally, and even rarer to find a local newspaper that's a fair representation of the local population instead of an insulated clique with heavy handed control over what's represented.

The overall food quality in Germany is significantly higher than in the US. Visit an Aldi or Lidl in Germany, then visit one in the US; night and day difference in food quality. You can tell Germany cares for its population via food regulat

This, and most law schools are businesses capturing student debt and too many law students foster a flawed perception of legal practice. There's a surplus of debt-laden law graduates who are unemployed, underemployed, or working in com

I've never seen it in a tree, but I do see some owners leaving their crap bags on hiking trails and often forgetting about them on the return trip. I'd rather they let the dog poop in the forest instead of encapsulating it in a pl

Texas and most other states should push for additional freedom in this space. Anyone who can pass the state's bar exam, should be allowed to practice law. Let the legal market sort out the rest from there. California, Vermont, Virginia

I sincerely hope it works out this way instead of pricing out open sourced development. A couple open sourced projects changed their licensing to help mitigate the increased cost burden from skyrocketing hardware costs. It'll be a sad

Wait until Congress figures out about all the new "free" games pouring out of China, each requiring kernel level anti-cheat software to operate in the background.

While we're still a fair distance away from creating polished products capable of replacing Hollywood gatekeeping; the bursting of the creative dam is on the horizon and it's exciting! I'm looking forward to when you can writ

We see muskrats swimming along our shoreline at least once a week. They're very skittish and once you spook them into the water, they don't pop back up within visible range. I think they're relatively uncommon around here due

While overall automated traffic is a problem, I'm a bit more concerned about bots in comment sections or social media in particular. Unfortunately, bad actors are deploying them to shift public opinion in ways I don't think we ful

The article is missing significant context surrounding "reducing bycatch," so I'll try to provide a little. Bycatching is a problem, because you have large trawler fleets drag netting for a specific species, like pollock; but

When Powerball makes the news for having a huge jackpot, we purchase a few tickets with relevant family numbers. The tickets always generate ridiculous conversations of what we'd do with the winnings, and assessing how those conversati

Recently endured a significant case of post-traveling influenza, I was absolutely useless for 5 days and required a full month to recover fully. The flu is definitely nothing to joke about.

Real estate is insane. Land I was scouting in anticipation of buying to build a retirement home have become unaffordable. I'm talking increases of 300% in value between 2020 to today. The spike in value came out of nowhere, I honestly

US government and politicians would not care if not for the greed of large food corporations lobbying for absurd restrictions that only large corporate farms can economically afford to follow. This effectively pushes small farms out of busi

Just to piggy back, people need to be aware how degraded their legal protections have become over the past two decades. For example, mens rea protections are becoming nonexistent, because certain administrations have eroded them and they ma

I'm assuming you're referring to predominately the enlisted side? This also isn't a jab at enlisted people in general, just that many enlisted people come from economically disadvantaged positions in life. And, yes, many of t

It was obvious this was coming down the pipeline in Amazon's streaming life cycle. Even before this, they were injecting their own original content adds (skippable) at the start of every movie/show. I would unsubscribe again if po
