This is only loosely related to your post but I just came across this project:

https://archipelago.gg/

This is a cross-game modification system which randomizes different games, then uses the result to build a single unified multi-player game. Items from one game may be present in another, and you will need your fellow players to find items you need in their games to help you complete your own.

It supports a whole shitload of games: https://archipelago.gg/games

I only just started reading about it. So far it seems like insanity.

Maybe we can still get Harvey Weinstein as head of the Department of Protecting Women from Themselves.

I used to have one, but everything I’d use it for should really be going in the compost, not the sewer.

I’m in Canada, and I sent a cbc.ca news link to someone in instagram chat. It showed a preview of the post with a picture and summary, but when the link was clicked it went to a page that said:

People in Canada can’t view this content.

Content from news publications can’t be viewed in Canada in response to Canadian government legislation.

In terms of ingredients it’s super cheap. I make sourdough, so it’s just the cost of flour and salt. Back of envelope math tells me the electricity is probably less than C$1 even if I preheat a stone for an hour and bake a single loaf.

It takes enough time that it all depends on how you value your time. It’s probably something like 30m of work spread out over a couple of days in a bunch of steps. I find it (mostly) relaxing, and it fits into my routine, so I don’t really worry about the time. If I wanted to save time that badly I could drink instant coffee, get rid of all my houseplants, etc.

Project 2025

I think you mean “Project Year of the Whopper”

Well I guess we must have done a really good job of limiting corporate consolidation up to this point.

This seems reasonable. I don’t feel like Canada necessarily in a less precarious place than (e.g.) California.

I think graphene does this by default now? Like if you don’t unlock it for 24 hours it’ll reboot.

I’d just count calories and reduce the amount per day until you’re losing weight.

The time of day you eat things shouldn’t really matter. This will also teach you really quickly how to feel full on minimal calories. For me I just try to eat something like raw carrots when I want a snack.

It’s not as stupid as this blog post makes it sound. This was a hashing function that was intentionally taking the end of the path as the most significant part. This just impacts the order of objects in a pack file, and the size of the compression window needed to compress it.

It’s not actually mistaking one file for another, and their proposed solution is not better in all situations.

it even holds up well. the remoteness denotes a lack of tech that isnt too far out of place today.

It holds up so well that I barely even thought about the era until Joel shows up on the street in NYC.

I love that you have a very specific and arguably moral crime in mind, and it inspired this post.

At least you still have ribs. When I do interesting stuff with the oven it usually involves my food becoming charcoal.

That explains why we never hear about either of them anymore.

I was expecting something in the article to back it up, like sales figures, but I couldn’t find anything.

We want to negotiate, but you must allow us to eat all the chips.

There are so many levels of fuckery in the American system. It goes all the way up to just asking the supreme court (who you appointed) to please let you win.

The right was never dominating the polls. They had ~30%. It was always going to play out this way. The doom and gloom was that actual fascists had 30% of the vote.

It was only individual candidates being encouraged to drop out strategically.

France has a slightly less shitty electoral system than e.g. UK, US, Canada, so a party with 30% was never going to win absolute power.

Edit: when I say “it was always going to play out this way” l just mean the right weren’t going to win a majority. The left still seems to have done surprisingly well in the second round.

Also, it’s still shitty that the fascists won so many seats…
