Google Reverse image search FTW!
The game is titled "The Scramble Vice". It is a side scroller platform shooter (think Contra).

It looks like a bunch of triggers on an FPV drone with a bomb strapped to it. Likely when the drone crashes into something hard (vehicle, building) those wires will touch or somehow trigger the attached explosive to detonate.

does anyone have experience with any solid wheel electric scooters?
I bought a gotrax and switched to solid tires (bought the solid tires on amazon).
Getting the new solid tires on was super, super difficult and strenuous. You basically have to pour boiling water on the tires to heat them up and then use dish soap, clamps and pry bars to get the tire on. Very difficult. Probably worth it but still...
Also, side note the gotrax is pretty decent but it wasn't really designed to be taken apart. The bolts for the front wheel (for example) are hidden under a glued reflector on the fork. You basically have to break the plastic to get to the bolts.

Why did Nvidia stock drop with R1 hype?
R1 made waves for two reasons:
I think number 2 is what hit the nVidia stock so hard. Up until the R1 release, the future of AI development would require more GPU and more power. The R1 release showed maybe that isn't the case.
Imagine everyone is out driving around in gas powered cars that get 4MPG. Then a new cheaper gas powered car comes out that gets 60MPG. What happens to the price of gas when the 60MPG car is released? Maybe it fluctuates? Maybe it goes down (less gas is needed due to the more efficient cars)? Maybe it goes up as there are more cars on the road (due to the cheaper entry cost)? What happens if the cheaper more efficient car is electric?
Lots of people see the future of AI as being tied to the hardware and have pumped up nVidia's stock because of that. Anything that goes against that theory will likely let some air out of nVidia's bubble.

Why does filament not stick to the glass?

Yeah, agreed. It looks like it could use a bit more squish.

8BitDo Ultimate 3E Controller for Xbox | 8BitDo
The significance here is that it is a good controller that has a wireless mode that will work with Xbox. Previously you could have a nice 3rd party controller like this, but it would have to be wired to work on the Xbox. The official M$lop ones were the only wireless ones that would work. This looks like a good option.

Hah I was the same. Downloaded demos (happypuppy.com, gamesdomain.com), installed on a Jaz drive.
Those iomega devices had a pretty awesome design.

Hmm that could be plausible. I wonder if they can reliablely, repeatedly drop bombs/grenades like that?
Additionally I think when they drop individual grenades like that, they have a camera that can pan/point down. The camera visible in the photo seems to be pointing forwards.

Did you try putting anything on the surface to assist adhesion? Hairspray? Glue stick?

Actual text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professors' comments
Reply in thread
Yup. Shitty assignment. Shitty paper.
However the teacher in question gave her a 0.
She would have gotten the same grade if she didn't turn anything in at all.
That doesn't seem correct.
Teachers don't "give” grades, students earn them. If the teacher felt that the paper didn't meet the criteria, they should score it appropriately and provide context/reasoning.
A score of 0 feels "given”.

Say NO to Mandatory E-Bike License Plates and Registrations [California]
Berm Peak on YouTube has a video about this (actually focused around the similar law that just passed in NJ).
I like the idea of "ebikes" with throttles simply being treated as mopeds/scooters. The laws already exist, in this case it's just an electric moped.
It should be pretty easy to enforce too: person going relatively quickly without the assist of gravity or pedaling.
A bike with only pedal assist (motor only helps when pedaling) could just remain a bike.

Red Faction 3 is third person and really let's you break buildings and structures.
