Sir Terry Pratchett.

A phenomenal author whose ability to weave a story is fantastic, but was also adept at writing in jokes and references that make re-reading the novels a delight.

At what point is a sauce not a curry, soup or drink?

Bug your indian friends by calling Ketchup a tomato curry.

Live your life and enjoy what you can.

Be glad that you got to experience what you did.

If you have the funds, go tour things we know are vanishing, so that you at least have a living memory of them.

watches as the EU does nothing to rein in Google for worse abuse than MS ever tried.

Automation and Beam NG. You can make cars in the former and it has tools to import them into the latter where you can drive them around.

I made a hot-hatch with a supercharged V6 that can go well over 300kph. Also have reproduced the Jaguar xj220 and an 1980s Camaro.

The former is insane, it’s just raw power. I fiddled with it and now it is a mid engine supercar that does wheelies when accelerating.

The Camaro is just hilarious fun though.

Not a sweet spot.

Morrowind was amazing because it is a hand built world. Oblivion had the same core error as Starfield: an overreliance on procedural generation.

For Skyrim they did it right. Just the right amount of procedural generation with enough manual work that things worked out.

You can’t overlook the modding scene either. Oblivion had a great mod community with a lot of people getting into it and cutting their teeth there. So when Skyrim came out they were experts and made a lot of amazing mods, particularly framework mods.

But almost all of them are done and gone or corrupted into paid mods(e.g. Elianora, Kinggath(FO4)). So Starfield will never get a good modding scene because the core modding community doesn’t exist now.

The trick is that they’re literally spamming papers at this point.

It has been published, but a staggering number of scientific “papers” coming out of China are turning out to be complete fabrications.

Kbin, literally haven’t seen any spam, seen lots about how the fediverse Admins are taking care of it.

So, thank you mods and admins.

In my experience of using the traffic inspection tool fiddler: for https sites you have to have it add its own self signed cert to be able to see traffic.

Firefox, out of the box, detects it immediately and warns you of a security issue, not letting you do anything.

Chrome, and chromium based browsers,
don’t even notice it and happily let you do what needs to be done.

I’ve had the experience of a few sites not working recently in Firefox, one of them explicitly stated an ad server was blocked because of xss settings and refused to load. Chrome didn’t care.

Because Firefox has better XSS detection than Chrome and will block adware sites from injecting tracking that Chrome completely allows.

Did some volunteering at some old folks homes and a hospice.

The hospice had people who were literally trapped in their own bodies. Bedridden and unable to move their arms, legs or even speak. They communicated yes/no by monotone grunting(two for yes, one for no.

Person was fully conscious and aware. Just unable to act on the outside world.

As an example:

Salesforce has been trying to replace developers with “easy to use tools” for a decade now.

They’re no closer than when they started. Yes the new, improved flow builder and omni studio look great initially for the simple little preplanned demos they make. But theyre very slow, unsafe to use and generally are impossible to debug.

As an example: a common use case is: sales guy wants to create an opportunity with a product. They go on how omni studio let’s an admin create a set of independently loading pages that let them:
• create the opportunity record, associating it with an existing account number.
• add a selection of products to it.

But what if the account number doesn’t exist? It fails. It can’t create the account for you, nor prompt you to do it in a modal. The opportunity page only works with the opportunity object.

Also, if the user tries to go back, it doesn’t allow them to delete products already added to the opportunity.

Once we get actual AIs that can do context and planning, then our field is in danger. But so long as we’re going down the glorified chatbot route, that’s not in danger.

Fair.

But even if it is relative to the earth, there would be the question of do you retain your velocity relative to the earth when you teleport in?
So moving pretty much in any modern vehicle would be a reliable way to repaint a surface of the interior with yourself, particularly an aircraft.

However, if it doesn’t, then you can reset your momentum every time you pop in or out. In that case, you can reset your movement several times mid-air so when you hit the ground you’re going a survivable speed.

Not just car.
The Earth is moving around the Sun.
Which itself is moving inside the Milky Way.
Which itself is moving inside the local cluster.
Which itself is moving inside the Laniakea supercluster.
Which itself is moving inside the universe, probably?
And who the fuck knows if the universe itself is moving.

Depending on a frame of reference of position, you’re either still in your car, where your car was, dying in space, or potentially outside the universe itself.

Moreover, most tourist guide gigs are summer things so they’re unlikely to go beyond a training period(one month?) Plus three months probation.

A new protest and shutdown would be to get it into the media eye in a bad light. Not actually do anything of importance to the site.

After all, the 24 hour news cycle lives on scandals.

Apparently even Valve’s lawyers don’t like dealing with Nintendo’s lawyers.
