You would be surprised how much you can communicate by just pinging stuff. I’ve had many missions with randos where a single word wasn’t spoken, but we were all actively pinging high priority targets and putting markers on the map for our intentions.
Just off the top of my head: Noita, Battlezone Gold Edition, and Risk of Rain 2
FTL: Faster Than Light
By the same people, and the same vibe: Into the Breach
I think the idea of using coarse grounds for the French press is mostly for filtering out the grounds with the steel mesh on the plunger. If you have a finer mesh, by all means, go for it.
I’ve also seen some of my fellow coffee lovers at work use filters wrapped around their press, or using an ultra-fine metal mesh on their air press. They’ll go for a finer grind, and it definitely helps the brew steep quicker.
Personally, if I’m using a glass press, I can usually tell the brew is done by jostling the pot and seeing if the grounds sink. In my metal one, it’s usually 5+ mins, and then it’ll jostle and test the resistance with the plunger to see if the grounds sank.
Also the fact that they are made of metal. Heck, just the idea of lighting a fire below deck of a ship made of cast iron back in the civil war was seen as something insane.
I’m interested to see what they come up with to solve the issues of cold environments at altitude and refueling between legs.
I fix giant metal birds that light themselves on fire and scream really loud to fly across the sky. The kingdom heavily regulates who fixes them, how they fix them, and who flies them to make sure everyone is safe.
It’s also very easy to run an AI image generation tool locally using open source models.
Yet another thing I love about Helldivers 2. The sound track is fantastic.
Just the song: A cup of Liber-Tea - Wilbert Roget, II
The issue with those items is that they are not in the list of approved materials for Boeing’s manuals. It might be normal to see these sort of practices in a line maintenance environment where it’s hard to get the proper tooling; but the manufacturer should be abiding by it’s own regulated publications. It’s just more symptoms of their cost cutting and schedule rushing measures that are leading to their quality issues.
My company has been spending a lot of time and money doing warranty repairs on brand new airplanes that we received from Boeing over the past couple of years. It’s very concerning when a customer has to fix things that should have never left the factory floor.
Payday 2 was good for a while, but then it got buried under a mountain of DLC and people slowly stopped playing because of the aggressive monetization. They came out swinging with the same tactics in Payday 3 with only minor content improvements, so people weren’t as motivated to buy the same game again.
Cities: Skylines 2 appears to be going the same route.
Too many AI language models are just word salad. It will spit out very long responses that add nothing of substance. Sometimes it’s kind of like a high schooler desperately trying to reach the paragraph requirement on an essay.
I just leave it on maximum. Too many spoofed local numbers. If it’s someone important a d they’re not in my contacts, they’ll either make it through the screener or leave a message.
It’s still a much better experience when pirated, since there’s no DRM. Also, it’ll make you feel glad you didn’t pay for it when you learn they wasted the entire budget for C&C4 on a movie set and an “unbreakable” DRM that someone cracked within a few hours after the launch. They also killed the series with a very cheesy “and everyone lived happily ever after” with that one, and I never forgave them for it.
Saw the show. Calliou is a whiney little bitch, and he’s a bad influence on children. The parents tolerate his behavior and let him get away with it, which teaches children to do the same.
There. I said it.
Considering that writer is pumping out multiple articles a day, they most likely are to some extent.
Just unplug them? Most appliances still draw some electricity (i.e. phantom load) when turned off.
Rock music starts blasting as your mech turns to face the bulkhead. The dropship’s engines roar louder as it approaches the ground, and the wall in front of you flies upwards. Your mech’s feet slam into the ground with a heavy thud.
Yes, but I like gaming without having to tweak things for every game. Proton is looking pretty good thanks to the Steam Deck. Hopefully it’ll be a very solid option when it comes time for me to make a decision.
Unfortunately, a lot of my music software and hardware is incompatible with both Linux and W11
I have yet to encounter any toxicity, but I’m sure it’s out there somewhere. For reference, I’m lvl 40.
