+1 for Imaginarium. Love that movie.

Ledger died in the middle of filming. He was the lead. The director and a few of Ledger’s friends cooked up a crazy way to salvage it.

According to Wikipedia, nothing distinguishes a totenkopf from other skull symbols, with or without bones behind it. Poison symbol? Totenkopf. Punisher logo? Totenkopf. Skull with a bullet hole in it? Believe it or not, totenkopf.

in case anyone is curious, those comments are not a modern addition. They are a faithful reproduction of the original scanned copy of the code.

If your religion requires premarital sex, you can argue that. Freedom of religion and freedom from religion are not the same thing.

Underneath the silliness, SR4 had a good story and great performances. I remember tearing up a bit during the car segment of the final mission.

It is one of the few open-world sidequestapaloozas I have ever beaten because the story and insanity kept me coming back.

Their printers are often clogged and mistuned, leading to streaky prints or misaligned colors. Sometimes you get lucky and find a store that has a decent printer.

You should either include something to wear it to or indicate that future gifts may go that direction. Dressing up to go to a show, symphony, etc can be a lot of fun and that resolves the “but I have nowhere to wear it” objection she would likely have.

Veritasium is awful. So much misinformation, holier-than-though attitude, and disguised advertising. They are just pre-AI slop: Stuff that sounds correct presented in a convincing way.

Thermite in a bucket melts through the bucket and then dribbles out, melting/burning through just about anything it lands on. When delivered via drone, you don’t want to crash the drone since you can keep targeting that stream versus just making a puddle.

The logic of free speech applying to corporations is that they are an extension of their operators, making restrictions to them effectively restrictions on the operators.

This is way more wild. This gives corporations people-rights distinct from their operators.

That’s the fatal flaw with AI. If you can replace the base-level workers in a skilled field, competition will lead to most places doing that. 5-10 years later, the industry has a shortage of mid-level workers.

if it was perfectly crisped, you wouldn’t be able to fold it in half.

NYC-style pizza has one thing going for it: it’s genuine fast food. It’s on par with other fast food.

Nah, opinions of them have been sliding for a while. The software licensing stuff is just a topic that attracts certain vultures, making coverage suddenly explode.

There’s true currency inflation, which is dangerous to revert, but this is really talking about cost of living increases driven by tariffs and commodity pricing. Those can absolutely go back down without being a disaster for the economy.

Intercept isn’t the right word, but what they are doing is shady. The Bing search result for “Google” has results pushed down until they are nearly off the screen. They place what looks like a Google doodle (exploiting the fact that Google replaces their logo all the time) and a search box in the middle of the screen. It tricks the inattentive user into thinking it did what they meant for it to do, while still keeping them in Bingland.

They all focus on letting anyone run fast, which just makes them feel like autopilot.

Haste lets you run fast and actually gives the player control. It’s what a 3D Sonic should be.

The first part of this article, the Apple is enforcing X rule in Y situation part, is pretty interesting. Then it veers into crazy town by claiming that the software versioning and static release model is dead.

No, XL had official releases on Windows and Mac.

The trackpads on the Steamdeck/SC2 are much better than the SC1.

Valve was forced to stop manufacturing the SC1 due to patent trolling related to the paddles.

We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including one person teams with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role.

Six months from now: Why does this financial app feel like it is six different amature solo projects bolted together?
