If there was intelligent life on Mars in past there would presumably be lasting signs that we could discover.
Finding signs of technological development on Venus on the other hand would be interesting...

I departed at 72 degrees and raining and landed in 98 degrees with a 78 dew point. It was a heat index of 116.
Global warming or American degrees...

Valve says it isn't subsidizing the Steam Machine's $1050 price because of its "religious" refusal to "build a more closed system"

Ok, it's not 2PiR now, but just PiR. Given how often 2Pi is used some mathematicians will actually be happy. Would be a mess with other constants though.
Edit. Also all the people in IT will have a terrible week trying to figure out why their programs started working weird, then figuring out why they even need those constants. Log messages would be funny though.

Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
Reply in thread
The people who block HDMI for Linux are also the people who make TVs and other media stuff. So you may not be able to use displayport or hdmi just because some rich people decided so to make more profit.

If the numbers are true it costed him less than 0.1% of his wealth which is surprising how little it takes. Would you spend 0.1% of your wealth to elect a President and gain a government post that will bring you more wealth? Would you spend 1% of your wealth to become insanely rich? 10%?
In the society where power is measured by wealth ultra rich should not exist. Or better such society should not exist.
Also Musk wasn't even the biggest donor. And Harris was okay with this whole thing, she also received enormous donations. Who was against ultra rich? Bernie Sanders. No wonder he was sacked despite popular support.

Well in reality they will use waterboarding or some other technique that ensures suffering while not being life threatening. There's actually a great movie called Unthinkable about this.

No Man's Sky dev pulls out all the stops to fix a player's buggy save with 611 hours of playtime at risk: 'I promise to hawk that bug and fix it'

What would the answer otherwise be? "fuck your save, start over"?
Isn't it the usual answer? If there's any at all.

With all the endless war the Imperium is so huge most of the humans probably never saw war and space marines are so rare it's almost impossible for you to be killed by them.
