I think the smaller aircraft crashes like this one, which weren’t uncommon before, are getting more visibility because of the high profile accidents at the beginning of the year - these stories are getting clicks so they’re getting spread further and by larger news outlets, so they’re getting more clicks…

I didn’t have numbers, but I’d be surprised if this year was looking significantly worse than last year.

… for Easter.

I can criticize Nintendo all day, but I think they’ll try to avoid making that mistake again.

Eastern European or Slavic ancestry? My family is partly Czech and my aunt did kraslice eggs, they were hollowed out and painted with elaborate designs, we had a bunch in the breakfront cabinet.

Legacy Nvidia drivers a couple months ago? That was a fun time, lol.

And they’re willing to take on big corporations - iirc they were representing Austin’s mom after he was killed in the monorail accident at Magic Kingdom 17 or 18 years ago this July (damn I can’t believe it’s been that long). She ended up settling out of court, it was really an awful situation.

I started using Bazzite last year and it’s fantastic, but modding seems to be a bit of a headache on it right now. I think Nexus Mod Manager is going to really help that once its got more than Stardew working though.

Is that true everywhere or just in the US? I know that, at least a few years ago, a bunch of banking software in the US was still in COBOL but parts of Western Europe were modernizing their banking industry. I’m probably going back to school for computer science in the fall and had been considering trying to learn COBOL in my free time, or learning more Fortran (I have actually taken a programming class with Fortran, but because it was aimed at beginners it didn’t really go in depth, but I bet it’d look good on certain resumes). It’s looking like my future is in Europe somewhere, so I’m keeping that in the back of my mind while making decisions.

Sounds kinda like ok Cupid when it was good, but the struggle with something like this is getting enough people to sign up.

My mom is Jewish and I’d been considering doing one of those DNA tests until that data leak happened, I was glad I hadn’t done it.

I have no idea what you’re quoting but I knew a white South African in community college, he used to joke about applying to scholarships for African Americans because he’s an “American from Africa”. At the time I rolled my eyes and explained it was a term for black Americans, but I didn’t know much about apartheid in South Africa at the time and the more I learn the more I regret not punching that dickhead.

Are they just not sending their best or do they all suck?

Sometime around 2019-ish they locked them down hard and it’s not possible to jailbreak them and put custom firmware on it, however I’m pretty sure you can still put the play store on it, I’ve side loaded it on my 2021 model but it’s still awful because of Amazon.

Oh he’s the Lego Island guy, I thought he sounded familiar.

New Hampshire Libertarians do funny shit.

How else are you supposed to make a sourtoe cocktail at home?

Off topic, but Crypt of the Necrodancer is on sale right now on Steam and I own a dance mat… do you know how difficult the dance mat mode for the game is? I’m really bad at rhythm games, I still have a lot of fun playing them though.

Tunnel vision is an actual vision impairment. Blindness isn’t a “can’t see anything at all” thing (although sometimes it is), many blind people can see light and dark or very short distances in front of them, it’s not what popular culture portrays it as.

A friend of mine in college was blind and had macular degeneration - we met through the anime club and back then she was able to still watch anime by moving it to the corner of her remaining peripheral vision. She pretty effectively ended the dub vs sub argument, dubs were an accessibility thing, lol. The group was big into gaming and played a lot of Rock Band, but she was unfortunately usually left out, we sometimes talked her into singing for a few songs she knew well though.
