is a Raider carrying like 20 propane tanks into a run like where the hell are they stored? Embark clarify this

Yeah there's new costumes but no pass and no progression. Why is it included in the Events tab? It is more like a limited shopping window. Am I missing something?

Substack sent a push alert encouraging users to subscribe to a Nazi newsletter that claimed Jewish people are a sickness and that we must eradicate minorities to build a “White homeland.”

This has been a problem for years: Substack has a Nazi problem - The Atlantic

Substack won’t commit to removing Nazi content - TechCrunch

I don’t think this can be ignored anymore. If you’re on Substack, please consider one of its many fine alternatives. Wired wrote about a few last year.

Plus, it’s quite easy to move a newsletter these days.

I bet this exclusion has to do with copyright or something in that country, but still. It was a funny banner to see at the top of this support doc.

Wild new… electro punk? band I found on YouTube. They also have a couple chill tracks, like Being One that sound more like drum and bass (or someone correct me I’m not always great with genres)

Daryl's a good essayist and, in my opinion, this one hits a little different, probably even for people who aren't into video games.

It explores our anxiety and how we handle reaching the end of a game, story... and other things in life.

If you have just under 24 hours minutes to spare, I think it's worth your time.

Edit: No idea why the YouTube summary text in this post seems to be in German; it is an all-English video.

Yes, iPadOS 26 dev beta 2. But I suspect this was here in previous versions.

(I’m working on our back porch today and yes it’s fairly warm out with a feels-like temp of 99. But in the shade it’s decent)

Nice little place with ~ 8 tables and a basic menu of hotdogs, tamales, chips, guacamole,etc. Usually every table has umbrellas but a few blew away in that crazy storm a couple weeks ago. Shari, the nice owner, is working on replacing them. AFAIK, this is about as close to the water you can get with a table and some beach grub.

Is that they tried visiting the US deliberately. Like, on purpose.

I want to redesign my personal site around two things:

1 - Home page will be a personal landing page, like those “link in bio” tools to show people where you have accounts on social media, newsletters, etc. (such as https://bio.link/. I can share a basic personal page I’ve set up there but I don’t know if that’s allowed here)

2 - A decent blog experience, mainly for writing, sharing news links, and art I like (both personal and found)

Anyone know of a theme that tackles these two? I’m coming up empty handed with ThemeForest and Template Monster, even when trying variations of these keywords.

Thanks

Nice interview. As an iPad main, I remain cautiously optimistic about the new multitasking and windowing features in general, although it looks like Slide Over is functionally gone. This does not spark joy.

I don’t have the beta yet, but I’ve checked with a bunch of people who do. It seems that, because the windowing UI works much more like a Mac, there is no functionality to keep an app off to the side and easily swipe it back and away. If this is true, I am really going to miss Slide Over.

Split View is functionally there, which I also use extensively so that makes me happy. I get the iPad has limitations for some people who want to work on it the way they do on a Mac. But part of what I like about the iPad is its simplicity—I don’t have to fiddle with dragging window corners around all day. Open an app, drop a second app next to it. Done. It’s beautiful.

Sure, I’ll submit feedback to Apple to bring back Slide Over. But if it is truly dead, I’m gonna learn how to become a witch so I can place a curse on all the houses of the “just make the iPad a Mac” people.

The algorithm just brought this bassist + rapper to me and I’ve gone down the rabbit hole. Crazy talented. And is that a 7-string bass??

Here’s a bonus video with a different vibe. I’m really digging it. He also has some good tapping tracks.

Edit: Turns out it’s an 8-string guitar, 2 of which are bass strings to cater to this kind of playstyle. Wild!

My friends from the fencing team in a Milwaukee, WI suburban catholic high school were bored. We wanted to watch a movie, but didn’t want to spend theater prices. So we went to Blockbuster (!!) in search of something…. else.

No, not that you gooner.

We invented the rules on the car ride there:

• None of us could have seen or even be aware of the movie
• None of us can recognize any of the main actors in the film
• Sci-fi or fantasy since those seemed to have the cheese we wanted

As we strolled along the shelves where most patrons don’t bother, there it was. Like a (scuffed) diamond in the rough: Cube

And it was glorious. lol

Bonus points: Two friends and I moved out to Denver, CO in the middle of college to go snowboarding and finish school (in that order). One of us became a manager at Blockbuster right at the beginning of the switch from VHS to DVDs. For whatever reason, his store started with the least rented titles they had, and their solution was to just throw all the VHS in the garbage.

One day he just showed up from work with ~ 4 or 5 huge garbage bags filled to the brim with the crappiest VHS films Blockbuster deemed unworthy to return to a distributor.

Around a week later he did it again.

It was the absolute (free!) jackpot of gloriously bad films.

Took the Borealis from St. Paul to Milwaukee last weekend. An announcement said they had hot dogs and a couple other items ‘on sale.’ I had planned to get one anyway (don’t judge me), but what is that about?

Does it mean something was wrong with them? Just clearing out old stock? The buns were a little chewier than normal.

I’m not great at it but I love this silly game so much

Meta stuff is fine but I enjoy creative and unique rolls and loadouts in this game. Find anything that floats yer boat? Show us what you got.

I’ve been busy with life so haven’t been able to play or farm as much as I’d like. Hopefully I can next week and when all three dungeons become available.

Let’s skip the negative/horror stories and focus on the good, wholesome, and funny stuff for once

One time I was on the Green Line out of the loop to Forest Park (when I lived there), this homeless lookin dude steps between the cars into mine. It was rush hour so fairly packed. He starts preaching

“Let me tell you the story of how I found Jesus!”

“I had the life. I had it all! I had the women, the house, the cars. I made a million dollars!”

“Then I lost it all. I hit rock bottom. I didn’t know where to turn, I thought it might be the end.”

“And that’s how I found Jesus. He saved me. And he can save you too.”

Someone from the other end of the car goes

“Yeah that’s great but how did you make a million dollars?”

Whole car erupts laughing. Dude turns around and goes back to the other car

This is from NPR’s coverage

Huge Jeff fan here. Anyone see an interview about how he was selected to add to the game? I’m curious how that process went because he strikes me as such an unlikely pick.

Like did they decide on the core roster, choosing some of the most popular characters from the MCU and comics, then had a brainstorming session for the most off the wall picks for some fun and whimsy? Maybe that’s how Squirrel Girl got in too.
