[Steam] Dokimon Quest

Some limitations apply

Has anybody been able to find out what the limitations for the free version are? I couldn't open the small question mark next to it on mobile. Registered the game, but just wondering if we're missing out on anything.

He definitely earned my respect when he told Biden to send bullets, instead of offering to evacuate him. He could have chosen safety, but instead stayed even though chances were that they wouldn't be able to hold back the Russians.

YSK about bismuth subgallate, an "internal deodorant" that makes your stools and flatulence not smelly

Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind.

Sorry, I have a hard time coming up with reasons why you should not be stinky in such a case. Do you have a toilet in the middle of the living room on outings? Otherwise who cares? Shit stinks, perfectly normal, absolutely no reason to hide that. People should stop being ashamed for bodily functions instead of medicating them away.

R.I.P.

In other news, Elon Musk was rushed to the hospital today because of 'a foreign object being lodged in his rectum'. A reliable source mentioned that the billionaire slipped and fell on an unfortunately placed basket of potatoes.

An attending physician anonymously commented that the object proved difficult to remove as 'the patient was extremely uptight'.

Further information will be shared as it becomes available.

The Netherlands just blocked a US company from buying the app Dutch citizens use for everything

The company actually inquired, our government said no. That's what you get when capitalists are at the wheel and expect "the market" will magically solve everything.

The title is a bit misleading by the way, it's about the company that hosts the infrastructure, Solvinity. The application itself is built and maintained by a government agency called Logius.

In the Dune universe, why not use laser weapons as bombs?

The reaction between a shield and laser is completely random, not knowing wether you are going to vaporise a few molecules, an entire city or everything in between makes it very unreliable for warfare purposes.

And you'd probably find the whole Landsraad against you, as using atomics is outlawed. While a bomb like that isn't an atomic weapon by definition, the effects are the same and it stands to reason that they'll therefore still retaliate in full force.

The stainless steel body of Tesla's Cybertruck is reportedly leading to issues with gaps in between the panels

Also, the shape has horrible aerodynamics. If it had a combustion engine, they couldn't sell it in large parts of the world due to fuel efficiency.

I doubt it will get a type approval in Europe anyway, seems absolutely no consideration for pedestrian safety has been given. If this thing is as stiff and solid as Musk said it was it is also going to fail miserably during crash testing. Having been in a car crash this weekend I can testify how crumple zones save lives. Good thing the whole "but it's a light truck" loophole they used in the US isn't going to fly here.

It moves the value of register (a CPU memory cell) rbx to register rax. It's not that important though.

Basically the comic shows that the CPU is happily chugging along, executing instructions when suddenly the keyboard sends an interrupt telling the CPU it must stop all work and listen to whatever it has to say.

That was how keyboards worked before USB (back when they used PS/2 or DIN connectors). With USB it's the other way around: the device gets polled X times per second to check if it has any data to send.
