I had to look up some numbers because I expected to see (…) the Netherlands on this map

Nah, Amsterdam was probably too tiny for this map.

They’ll come back though, don’t ask me how I know.

Definitely a dingleberry.

Experiences vary. My 67 year old mother requires my help every few months because Ubuntu managed to fuck up itself again. Or because she managed to do so. I wish I could switch her to something more stable (fuck, even Windows didn’t give here that much trouble back in the days), but due to an accident she can’t handle a change like that anymore. So fuck my life, I’m stuck with supporting that piece of shit excuse of a Linux distro.

So is comparing a Microsoft bug to the highlight of the Apollo project and conveniently ignoring all the setbacks that both led up to and followed it.

I don’t mind bashing Microsoft where warranted, but this just feels like cherry picking from a long list of technical and procedural failures.

Apollo 1:

Fire, I smell fire. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Outlook malfunctioning is extremely tame compared to the issues the early space program ran in to. Somehow this meme really rubs me the wrong way.

Piece of cake: just apply more C-4!

A few deaths per year is a sacrifice that’s worth the freedom of having guns according to Ol’ Strawberry Fountain. Very decent of him to be one of those sacrifices on the altar block of the NRA.

You missed the joke. That was a quote from Deus Ex, the game depicted in the screenshot. 🙂

And the spacing. So weird and unnatural.

Why? It’s completely natural that people tend to distance themselves from anything that smells like decomposition and rot.

He and Michiel van den Bos basically wrote the soundtrack of my youth. Really bizarre to see Siren is struggling to land a full time job. Sad times indeed.

It does depend a bit. The tax brackets are nonsense of course, but there are countries with allowance systems that don’t fully decrease to zero as your income rises and at some point end in a hard cap. In those cases a raise might end up costing you due to losing the last part of an allowance.

But that never withheld me from accepting a raise, you’re going to have to push pass that threshold at some point anyway.

Just, uhh, leave all that shit on IX, with their Axalotl Tanks out of it.

Axlotl tanks aren’t Ixian though, that’s Bene Tleilax tech. It’s basically what’s left of their women.

Must suck if somebody comes to claim your stuff as part of a Special Veterinarian Order. 🌻

I’m using the latest GE Proton as well, installed Battle.net through the New Game/App dialog. Just found out that Battle.net does start, but it simply never shows a dialogue and therefore there is no way to interact with it. No taskbar item as well of course.

Solving vague issues with Linux systems is already a big part of my day job and last week was pretty rough, so basically the choice boils down to :

• Spend energy I honestly do not have on whipping Faugus into shape.
• Keep using a working Lutris setup, even though it is AI slop.

Neither appeal to me at the moment. 😞

Edit: the irony, just as I was about to give up an update for Faugus appeared, installed it and Battle.net now runs fine. 🎉

Thanks, but unfortunately it fails to launch Battle.net for me. Not really in the mood to debug that further at the moment, guess I’ll stick to other games for now.

On my system it was the only thing that actually managed to get the Battle.net launcher to work. Sigh, time for another hunt for an alternative I guess.

There is never a reason to not back in, and the end result is always a better parking job and an easier exit.

With the exception of diagonally placed parking spots next to a one-way lane, like the 30-60 degree ones here: https://www.dimensions.com/collection/parking-lot-layouts.

If the lane is wide enough you might be able to back up into a 60 degree one, but I’d hardly qualify it as a better parking job or easier exit.

With regular parking lots I fully agree that backing up is usually far superior.

I had already forgotten he ever existed. Has it been only 177 days since he turned into a forbidden strawberry juice dispenser?

If they wanted to live, they shouldn’t have signed up to kill people for the empire. Instead of following orders, they can refuse them.

Guess at least it’s good to see there isn’t any difference between Americans and Russians after all.
