DCS (Digital Combat Simulator)

Tons of well-simulated combat aircraft. IL-2 is probably the closest simulator to it.

Yeah, I’m confused on what else the Pentagon would be spending money on.

the FTC had failed to follow correct procedures and conduct an analysis before issuing the rule

The FTC is free to issue this again. They need to do it in accordance with the law next time.

The court ruled specifically on the stay. The case itself is still before lower courts.

Yeah, this is what’s primarily happening. A third-party imports the chips to a random country for [perfectly valid use], then resells them to Russia at a markup. It’s one of the reasons you see more and more sanctions packages. Some of those are sanctioning perpetrators of industrial level sanctions evasion as described here.

And while you can never stop it, driving up the price and reducing supply to Russia is helpful. Particularly when paired with lethal aid to Ukraine.

But will it continue to be your last post in the future? Or is it simply your last post at this moment?

The whiplash with Trump is awful. It’s a bit easier if you zoom out a bit, it is clear he is significantly less pro-Ukraine than Biden. But I think even Trump can’t decide if he is pro-Putin or not. I think part of it is Putin simply doesn’t want to kiss the ring, while Zelensky holds his ground, but does what is necessary to save his country and people.

My take: a person made a cool product, wants to make more but doesn’t have more actionable ideas. And, due to this only making some money on the side, an off-the-shelf storefront was chosen that supports selling more than one thing.

I found if the pot makes solid contact with the electric elements the electric can actually heat up water faster than gas. But if the bottom of your pan isn’t flat or the element is warped, they are really, really, really slow.

My experience has been with gas (fast), electric resistive with exposed and warped elements (slow), electric resistive with a glass top (fastest).

followed by (unless you’ve been very very careful) a total lack of anything productive for 95% of any of those people to do for the forseeable future

It amazes me these game companies putting out game after game don’t simply reassign these people to a future game. These are your seasoned veterans, they know how to do their job. Laying them off and picking up newbies just sets you up for a rocky future.

Had a look at Offbrand Games’ games and none of them have recent review bombs. I really have no clue what PirateSoftware is talking about.

I’m not surprised he was pushed out for fear of such review bombs, but I’m not seeing any evidence of them actually existing as he alleges.

FTA: The standard income deduction has been increased for seniors such that 90% will have their Social Security income completely covered by the deduction, meaning they won’t pay taxes on that income.

Edit: Crossed out a word.

It’s absolutely sexual harassment.

But, to your question: you can’t just say something has underage nudity when the nudity is of an adult model. It’s not CSAM.

Anyone with half a brain will certainly claim as much. Even if people don’t fully believe it, it will blunt the most serious of social consequences.

Taking secret nude pictures of someone is quite a bit different than…not taking nude pictures of them.

It’s not CSAM to put a picture of someone’s face on an adult model and show it to your friend. It’s certainly sexual harassment, but it isn’t CSAM.

I know a bunch of places do it with plasma. Not sure with whole blood though.

Your best bet is to shoot for one with an AMD Ryzen chip, as they have by-far the best iGPU available.

Getting a dedicated GPU into a mini PC is a pretty big ask, but the above will even do moderate gaming tasks. My laptop with a Ryzen iGPU plays Guild Wars 2 just fine, for example.

A self-built Mini-ITX box might also be up your alley, as those can take proper PCI-E graphics cards.

If you live in the EU or UK, sign it.

These aren’t just a petition that can be ignored, these actually have a legal process tied to them.

That was a lot of damage!
