Decent game to quit about 30h in because while it’s good and fun to play, it’s incredibly repetitive.

Science and academia, too. There’s way too few papers being published about failed experimemts. “I thought A, so I did B in order to achieve C, but it didn’t work out because of D.” is a very useful result.

Everspace 2 is really close in terms of combat and overall gameplay, but it lacks the immersive simulation aspects. Freelancers idle radio chatter did some heavy lifting back in the day.

Back when a 4 minute song was like 1.5MB so you could fit more music on your 256MB mp3 player because you could not afford an iPod.

There’s the federal volunteer service, which is the spiritual successor. Basically the same thing, but without being forced into it. There also voluntary social or ecological years, which is kind of the same thing as well.

Maybe try getting an MEP for Greens/EFA or the Left?

Isn’t the master branch the submissive one? Always behind, getting force fed content from the other branches.

If the IT departments of any major corp allows anyone within their network to enable this feature, they and everyone the work for need a permanent waning label for idiocy and utter incompetence attached to their resume.

The catalogue seems largely identical to Spotify, but Tidal has higher quality music (I recently found an album in Dolby Atmos).

I also found their app to be more intuitive (which is not exactly a high bar compared to Spotify).

Most importantly though, Tidal has better rates for the artists instead of paying Joe Rogan.

They did a video about alternatives to Adobe a while back. And while they generally liked and praised programs such as Affinity, they did conclude that as a company, even minor losses in productivity (e.g. for their editors) quickly add up.

So yeah, it would not be the first time they present and praise alternatives even of they don’t end up using them.

There was a specific number that was repeated across a lot of papers in my field, always citing the same source.

That source did have the number, but it cited another paper for it, which itself cited yet an older paper. Im not sure where the citations went bad, but that last paper for not actually contain the value everyone waschain-attributing to it.

The number was fortunately still correct though (and people would have noticed pretty quickly if it wasn’t).

In other words, the question becomes: “Is an egg defined by the creature that laid it, or the creature that will hatch from it?”

One other thing here is that the sensitivity of the detection is actually decreased with repeat attempts. This is pretty standard.

The reasoning here is that people will check after the first failure. And if they then send the close request again, the car will try a bit harder. Maybe it’s just some bit of oversized luggage that can be pushed down.

The Stormlight Archives feature a significant amount of battles, many of which are epic.

• The return of Bridge 4.

• The entire climax of Words of Radiance. The battle, the storm, the hero coming down the mountain side from the sky.

• “You cannot have my pain”

nothing but suvs on their lots

Not true. They also have trucks

I agree that live shows (and buying merch) is the best way to support artists.

But the CDNs required to run a music streaming service are anything but cheap.

I switched to Tidal after Spotify announced the price increase. The catalogue is basically identical, the apps are much more intuitive, and the audio quality is higher (they recently rolled their premium FLAC subscription into the basic one).

I had to retrain the algorithm for a bit, but that was not so difficult. There are services that can migrate/convert playlists which might actually work for favourites as well.

Also, it’s easy easier to download stuff from Tidal, which is very nice for listening to Audiobooks with a dedicated player.

Genius. If you export some of the apes, the remaining population requires less habitat, leaving more room for plantations! /s
