Jeff Bezos Announces Resignation

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie

For those who don't know, you can wash cast iron with modern detergents, and as long as you dry it properly you won't have any problems.

It used to be that dish detergents contained lye that would strip the seasoning off of cast iron cookware.

Do you guys remember driving down the highway in the 90's and having your car absolutely covered in the mangled corpses of insects? To the point where wiper fluid is called bug wash?

I don't know if this is the same everywhere, but my car stays pretty clean these days.

Today I felt that small twinge of motivation to start cleaning so you better believe I latched on to that feeling and didn't let go until the dishes were washed, laundry was done, floors were cleaned and rugs were vacuumed.

I fully expect not to feel this again for weeks.

Um, acktually some of us went from vanilla Debian to Nobara to vanilla Debian.

This is huge. It seems criminal for banks to charge you up to $50 when you may not even have that in your account.

34% of Canadians getting slapped with one of these fees in 2023 is bonkers. That's like $50 million in fees taken from the people who are least able to afford it.

One thing I appreciate about Canadian elections is how quickly they happen. An election is called, campaigning is like a month or two and then we find out the new government just hours after casting our votes.

I think people know who Ubisoft is, Kotaku.

I always wait for vote sales. People preordering upvotes are crazy

In my city, all of the pictures of bicycles on the asphalt are underneath parked cars.

The idea behind a ransom is that all parties need to believe with certainty that as long as money is exchanged, then nobody gets hurt. As soon as there's doubt about getting paid or about being released, then suddenly there's turmoil for any other party to hold up their end.

If I'm told I need to pay a ransom to get somebody freed but I know they may not be released even after I pay, then I may not pay. So it's in the captors best interest to always release them upon receiving payment.

Then again we're dealing with desperate, possibly evil people with no sense of morality and who will never have considered game theory before. Real life is messy.

McDonald's ownership: You have cost our company $10 billion in profits and you will be terminated. Your position will not be filled but the remaining team members will pick up your duties.

All I ask is an e-bike and a path to ride her by.

In pepto bismol commercials, you will see the liquid quickly cover the entire surface of the stomach lining when ingested. The joke is that there may not be an outer limit to how far the liquid expands to, and so will exit through your mouth and engulf you, followed by the entire planet.

Don't sleep on this one. This game is a profound masterpiece and I recommend everybody play this without any story spoilers.

For those that aren't familiar and want to know more, Outer Wilds is a first person space-based mystery and exploration game. You are given free rein to take your space ship to any planet in the solar system. There are no combat encounters and no objective markers. Your immediate goal is set by you and your own curiosity. Depending on your pace you can expect to spend about 20 hours to finish the base game, and then another 10-15 for the DLC.

The big hook that got me to play was knowing that once you have played through this game to completion for the first time, you will never again be able to experience it in the same way. I've been chasing that feeling by watching other people do blind playthroughs on youtube and I've even forced one of my friends to play it while I watched him. Sort of like Subnautica, where ::: spoiler spoiler once you've played the entire game then the fear of the unknown that stuck with you at first is gone and the next time you play you realize how important that was to your enjoyment of the game. Outer Wilds is a game driven by your knowledge of events that already took place hundreds of thousands of years ago, you just have to put it all together. Once you've learned what there is to learn, you can't undo that. :::

Pulling a game from the steam store does not stop people from downloading it if already in their library.
