Decent game to quit about 30h in because while it’s good and fun to play, it’s incredibly repetitive.

Everspace 2 is really close in terms of combat and overall gameplay, but it lacks the immersive simulation aspects. Freelancers idle radio chatter did some heavy lifting back in the day.

Back when a 4 minute song was like 1.5MB so you could fit more music on your 256MB mp3 player because you could not afford an iPod.

There’s the federal volunteer service, which is the spiritual successor. Basically the same thing, but without being forced into it. There also voluntary social or ecological years, which is kind of the same thing as well.

Maybe try getting an MEP for Greens/EFA or the Left?

Always a great game to get back into. Or get into in the first place.

The latest patch was kind of disappointing and I hope they do tweak some of the issues, but I’m still looking forward to the new expansion reveal tomorrow. The teasers were pretty neat so far.

If the IT departments of any major corp allows anyone within their network to enable this feature, they and everyone the work for need a permanent waning label for idiocy and utter incompetence attached to their resume.

That looks like it is made from compressed lint

The catalogue seems largely identical to Spotify, but Tidal has higher quality music (I recently found an album in Dolby Atmos).

I also found their app to be more intuitive (which is not exactly a high bar compared to Spotify).

Most importantly though, Tidal has better rates for the artists instead of paying Joe Rogan.

One other thing here is that the sensitivity of the detection is actually decreased with repeat attempts. This is pretty standard.

The reasoning here is that people will check after the first failure. And if they then send the close request again, the car will try a bit harder. Maybe it’s just some bit of oversized luggage that can be pushed down.

The Stormlight Archives feature a significant amount of battles, many of which are epic.

• The return of Bridge 4.

• The entire climax of Words of Radiance. The battle, the storm, the hero coming down the mountain side from the sky.

• “You cannot have my pain”

I agree that live shows (and buying merch) is the best way to support artists.

But the CDNs required to run a music streaming service are anything but cheap.

I switched to Tidal after Spotify announced the price increase. The catalogue is basically identical, the apps are much more intuitive, and the audio quality is higher (they recently rolled their premium FLAC subscription into the basic one).

I had to retrain the algorithm for a bit, but that was not so difficult. There are services that can migrate/convert playlists which might actually work for favourites as well.

Also, it’s easy easier to download stuff from Tidal, which is very nice for listening to Audiobooks with a dedicated player.

There’s a video about a rail replacement helicopter in which Tim states that Tom wanted to do a video about it. But he was busy at the time, so they sent the tip to Tim instead.

Cheaper labour in the most expensive town in a country that is well known for high labour costs?

Which only works when timezones exist. Without timezones, the question would need to be “what time of day is it in <location>?”, and you’d get “morning” or “afternoon”. Any answer to that question is inherently more fuzzy than 8:25 or 17:16.

They’re also hosted entirely in Germany, and really transparent about how many government requests they receive, most of which they outright deny.

Also, you can pay by literally mailing them cash, which I find mostly funny, but it does allow for true anonymity.

HeliBoard is a privacy-conscious and customizable open-source keyboard, based on AOSP / OpenBoard. Does not use internet permission, and thus is 100% offline.

First Paragraph of the readme.md in that repository.

Not to mention the two sequels World without End and A Column of Fire, set in the 1400s and 1600s, respectively, and the prequel Kingsbridge set around the year 1000.

Then there’s the century trilogy which takes place in the 20th century, and a whole lot of smaller works like A Dangerous Fortune, which manages to make you care for some bankers in 19th century London.
