That’s the same thing that got us here in the US. You have to clamp down on that shit while you still can. The fucking Russian government is good at it.

The original Subnautica is worth playing, it’s a fantastic game with an interesting world, intriguing story, and actually fun gameplay and vehicles. The vehicles themselves are extremely fun, too.

I like foldables, but I won’t be getting another one until Samsung and other OEMs dramatically overhaul their design and durability. When a ribbon connector went bad, they required repair companies to replace the two screens and hinge, a $600 repair on a phone worth $400. The ribbon connector is a 20¢ component, if that. I ended up getting a Motorola on sale for $250 that can do most of what high end flagships can do.

I miss the worm lights. My cousin had one, and even though I had the Advance SP, I thought the worm LED was super neat.

Black mesa is worth it, full price. I played both the OG and black mesa back to back. Fantastic game!

This seems like a really biased source, the domain is .ir, which is Iran.

I recommend sources that are not state-backed from a warring county.

I don’t think they will. We as a species still suffer from diseases where shit comes into contact with our mouth. If we can’t solve fecal-oral diseases, any bioweapon you deploy will infect your own population. It’s why we terminated our bioweapons program. It’s about as discerning as chemical warfare. :P

On a related note, I’d fucking love bidets with dryers to be mandatory at all farms, hospitals, food handling facilities, markets, and restaurants. It would minimize the impact of fecal-oral diseases, especially with improper handwashing and food handling (eg, not wearing gloves).

Everyone was telling me that this time they would have fixed it. Called it. I think I’m down to one joycon that doesn’t drift :P

The Persian empire was pretty big, until Alexander the Great (Greece) kicked their asses. This area has had empires rise and fall for millennia. Iran was the dominant power (and sometime colonizer) western Asia for 12 centuries.

I highly doubt anything will ever bring it peace, it’s the middle east, nuclear proliferation is a terrible idea. And that goes for anyone, any country.

Are there better alternatives? I was planning on using tailscale until now. :P

Same here, though I heard middling reviews for the first game, so I probably won’t play it regardless. Not that I’d pay $80 for a videogame anyways, lol. Even if it was HL3.

Yeah, fingers crossed he comes back. Even just a check in message would be appreciated.

Pestilence, TACO Don and the Ketamine Kid. Just waiting on the fourth horseman. This is shaping up to be an amazing year. :p

We need to send them down there, the leaders need to see things firsthand in the screwworm swamps.

The Witcher is the only game I’ve ever rage quit and then rage uninstalled. There’s a mission a number of hours in where bandits get you into a swampy bottleneck, while one shoots you at range and the “Pain” animation stunlocks you into dying at the hands of his minions. Fuck that game. Live is too short to grind through that shit :P

The DLC had good open worlds, but the main game just felt too dreary and brown.

Actually, there are! (Though it’s classified as invasive in many places, so they really have to be carefully kept.)

In the western US and Canada, thimbleberry leaves can also be used.

They are both great in theory, but in practice, you defoliate the plants too quickly, and you are still putting extra material down pipes. The best, least damaging solution are bidets, since they just use water, and don’t require trees or plants to be cut down and pulped.

Oh, we definitely do. People commit huge crimes like flushing huge amounts of clothing down the line, which totally fucks up the pumps that move sewage up hills and over into bigger infrastructure. Many places used to have incinerators in the lines, but some people freak out that it’s bad for the environment (as if putting biosolid shit into landfills isn’t worse, which generates tons of methane). At least the incinerators used to burn up foreign objects and could run off the grease in shit and greywater alone.

Your average bidet will usually have a built-in dryer if you buy name brands. Heated water, heated dryer. It saves a remarkable amount of money on TP too. It actually paid itself off after about four years of shitting. And your ass is incredibly clean afterwards, which is a blessing in hot and humid summers for reasons I won’t elaborate on prior to getting a bidet, lol.

The Toto bidets have these features for about $335, iirc. You can usually find them at Costco. Amazon sometimes has them too.
