Tethered plastic caps
Easy solution: only buy drinks in aluminum cans or glass bottles. World is already drowning in microplastic pollution.

Theater room, maybe? The receptacles on the ceiling and along the side walls could be for speakers. A Dolby Atmos setup has speakers on every wall, the floor, and the ceiling.

Tesla Cybertruck Owners Who Drove 10,000 Miles Say Range Is 164 To 206 Miles
Reply in thread
It's a truck that's meant to tow and haul loads. Using it for that purpose is a much larger drain on the battery than aggressive driving, and significantly reduces its useful range. If it's getting these numbers just being driven, you can expect a sub-100 mile range per charge when towing. Imagine having to stop to recharge for 30+ minutes for every hour and half of towing you do. Woof.

HDMI Forum to AMD: No, you can’t make an open source HDMI 2.1 driver | Linux users can't hit the same resolutions and speeds as Windows—or DisplayPort.
Reply in thread
Likely, but DP is still superior to even the latest HDMI standards, so I'd choose it over HDMI whenever that's an option.

That's the way I handle it. A 1 on the die is automatic failure, but roll again and on another 1, it's catastrophic.

And this appears to be a shot of a closed station that appears to be lit by flashlight - my guess is someone urbexing an abandoned station. There are quite a few stations in NYC that have been closed in the past century and aren't well maintained. Some are still passed by active trains even though there's no longer a stop there.

I mean, even without watching Top Gun the retractable wings were the coolest thing ever for a kid. It was the aviation equivalent of Mad Max flipping on the supercharger on the V8 Interceptor.
(I know, I know. You can't actually spin up a supercharger like that, but it's still fuckin cool.)

Tasha's alignment
Reply in thread
If while acting in your own self-interest you knowingly, through action or inaction, allow others to come to harm, even indirectly, that is evil. In the same way that a character knowingly doing something that benefits others would arguably make them good. A chaotic neutral person may act on a whim or in self-interest the majority of the time, but I doubt they'd let their actions cause actual harm to others.
But trying to pigeonhole human behavior into a rigid matrix of alignments is inherently flawed, people are much more complex than that. Fortunately, DND allows the DM free reign to define that or allow it to be a grey area - in reality, "alignment" will always be fluid.

More broadly, we developed more slow twitch muscles that granted us greater fine motor skills, and subsequently the ability to create and use tools. Other apes retained their fast twitch muscles, so their ability to use tools is limited, but pound-for-pound they're FAR stronger than humans.

New York police used stun gun on migrant holding toddler, video shows

A storied history of systemic racism and violence. A lack of adequate training. A lack of accountability. A complete lack of repercussions that actually affect them - tax payers footing the bill for settlements instead of cop pension funds. A mob-like culture that protects abusive cops and uses fear to keep the rest in line.
Should I go on?

POS software is right up there with vehicle infotainment systems when it comes to reliability and usability. They get the dregs of the programming world because decent coders have a way better selection of companies to work for.

Back when we used 12mm AMD Ryzen CPUs with a 70 lb-ft torque spec
Reply in thread
Actually, it is a Torx torque wrench. They came with Threadripper CPUs because they had a very specific torque specification. It's why the handle looks so odd.
