The King of All Cosmos getting incredibly drunk and accidentally destroying all the stars. Few games have a better backstory or soundtrack.

The Trip is amazing.

That B roll cut is actually from the original TV series which is much longer than the movie. If you enjoyed the movie you'll love the series.

Yes, and that expectation seems either naive or ideologically blinkered to me. Especially after so many decades of consolidation with antitrust being a thing of the distant past.

Seems to me it can't be merely a gathering of facts and deliberations that have now made it allowable to talk about a profit-price spiral without being heckled or laughed out of the room.

It will be interesting to see if this shift in the discourse on inflation could precipate a change in the discourse on antitrust in the US as well.

This entire "greedflation" saga is a bit surprising to me.

That economic scholars are pushing hard against "greedflation" and for the idea that the main driver of inflation is greedy laborers and their excessive wage demands, is as expected.

Until very recently these were the only kind of scholars allowed airtime about this topic and their explanations to laymen seemed to hinge on very naive ideas about the level of competition in various markets.

What happened to make the "greedflation" story more palatable? Surely it must be something other than just disproving these seemingly ridiculous and ideologically driven ideas about the level of competition?

That the provenance proudly includes "read into the Congressional Record" (Wikipedia also mentions this) is almost all you need to know about this.

The rest can be gleaned from the Wikipedia page on the author:

> W. Cleon Skousen ... was an American conservative author with the John Birch Society and a faith-based conspiracy theorist

I had no idea this was a thing until a recent trip.

For a small while I was certain I had become too tired and had started seeing things. Quite trippy seeing another car about a kilometer ahead igniting the lights as it drove.

The current supreme court is very unlikely to rule for an individual against a large company.

Our training data also includes the actual audio visual experience of the Backstreet Boys, not just second hand reports.

Terje Tvedt has some ideas how differences in water systems might have played a big role.

It's a bit annoying with new windows that they perform so well that you'll get dew or ice on the outside a lot of the time.

Supposedly, windows with an outer self cleaning layer get less condensation, but they're quite expensive.

David Wengrow (archeologist and co-author of The Dawn of Everything with the late David Graeber) wrote a piece on AA and Graham Hancock which was published last week:

Nice! "A Final Hyperbase" by Firefox and Tip was made for the Amiga demo Enigma by Phenomena, which was released in 1991. Oh man, the nostalgia :)

This is how it sounds on a video grab from an Amiga:

More like complex organisms existing within and alongside other massive complex organisms. Nothing artificial about it?

They already had created an "accident" and the gas in Nord Stream 1 was shut off since 31st of August.

Even if that wasn't enough, why would they choose to damage the lines this severely (flooding them with sea water)?

> "encapsulate the unsafe code in a data structure library with a safe interface"

This was referring to using unsafe data structures in Rust by pulling in a Rust library so that your application code doesn't need any unsafe blocks itself. This is a huge win for your application code, even if there's other code that is still "unsafe".

Not all Rust programs are thin layers around libraries like FFMPEG. Why would you assume that?

Also, "if it can't be 100% safe right now all at once, then why even bother?" isn't very pragmatic.

The pictures made me think of this: https://www.physics.utoronto.ca/~smorris/edl/icespikes/icesp...

As to your second question:

> Some ROM drives are capable of reporting C2 error information along with the audio data and some ripping software can use this information to determine whether the retrieved audio data is valid or not. A standardised mechanism for ROM drives to report C2 error information is documented in the Multi-Media Command (MMC) standard

That's a nice sentiment. Suprisingly humble, coming from Reagan.

hostmaster, ftpmaster, listmaster, gophermaster, fingermaster, timemaster (NTP)

Not saying this is an outright scam, but given the history of ventures like this, I wouldn't give it a good chance to succeed on any level.

The Behind the Bastards podcast had an interesting history of seasteading and similar schemes recently:

It's funny how Microsoft seems unable to do "security" without veering into megalomanic authoritarian schemes. See also Palladium.

What about trying to secure your software without building the infrastructure for an oppressive dystopian future? Too much to ask?

Yes, it's a strange effect. I initially dismissed wobbly windows and the desktop cube as very gimmicky bling, but it really did make a huge difference to the feeling of the desktop.

Now it's QAnon.

There's a section about pyramids in the article: https://crystalverse.com/sodium-chloride-crystals/#saltpyram...

They usually disclose that they hold short positions at the same time as publishing their reports.

If Tether unravels and brings down the whole cryptocurrency bubble, there are probably more indirect positions that are safer bets?

I had to check this to see if there's any truth to it, and unfortunately it seems like a fib.

> Beds, hall furniture and wardrobes are named after town and cities in Norway such as Asker, Ulsberg and Klubbo. The rugs at IKEA are named after places in Denmark, so expect to see names like Hellum, Elverdam and Nysted. Finland rounds out the Scandinavian neighbors with having dining tables and chairs named after places like Pello, Bredskär and Harola.
