I started playing DOS2 after finishing Baldur's Gate 3 but never got far for what seems like a silly reason - I really missed the conversation voice acting and cinematics. It's wild how much immersion it brings to a game, but with the camera often being so far out, it's an important part for me to care about the game and feel connected to what's going on

My father in law (prior to his passing) worked for the National Science Foundation and his job was to investigate grant fraud like this. Apparently it happens all the time.

maybe this will help:

Maybe it's just me, but that amount of water + the boardwalk going through it all makes this absolutely terrifying. Awe-inspiring to be sure, but I'm not sure I'd want to go out there.

When cameras aren't allowed, yes

For those that haven't seen it, enjoy this masterpiece

That wonkiness often times is just lint jammed into the charging port, and a thorough cleaning fixes the issue

This decision is even more difficult for me, as I don't even feel a sense of accomplishment for getting tasks done

Quantum entanglement... but with skin

Axon, same company that makes body cameras for police

Me, when learning what they do for work and they're a mechanical engineer working on rocket thrusters for weapons, and "business is really good right now so I can't complain"

and that number goes up significantly if you consider an international airport a "border"

How is this possible? One word — efficiency. Our electric appliances have gotten so much more efficient.

The magic of efficiency could and hopefully will continue this 20-year miracle of keeping electricity consumption flat even while we add lots of new loads, as there is so much more low hanging fruit to be picked. LEDs still need to finish their market domination, and heat pumps are only just getting started and will save oodles of energy for space and water heating and even clothes drying. Building codes are continuously improving, as are appliance standards, meaning our homes and buildings and everything that uses energy in them, are constantly becoming more efficient (with no compromise in performance).

This all adds up. With the 1% that electricity production declined in 2023, we could have added something like another 10 million EVs to the grid last year and our overall electricity use would still have remained the same.

Thank you - a friend of mine is a Senior Counsel for them and has been working almost non-stop since this administration took office, every donation helps.

Why would he celebrate the assassination of a political commentator when he holds the same exact job title

If you don't have checked baggage on a domestic flight then being in the back of the plane just means you're waiting longer to get on with your day

why the fuck is this article using the logo for Paragon, a game killed by Epic Games after Fortnite got big, instead of the actual company logo for Paragon Solutions?

a chat app that has more feature parity with Discord than any other project, yet:

• was supposedly built over the course of five years but commit history was squashed a couple months ago so there's no way to verify
• was built entirely by one 22yo who hasn't yet graduated university
• has confirmed LLM usage
• already has a monetization plan very similar to Discord and has raised 300k in one-time funding on hype alone

all this to say, it's still an incredibly impressive piece of software, but the sus vibes are warranted
