And it might be the only game where I have ever enjoyed proximity chat

Did we play the same Battlebit? I don’t remember much positivity coming out of proximity voice chat. Every match started with a flood of VOIP spam of screaming and loud, shitty music. It seems without fail, I’d spend the first 15 seconds of every match muting everyone that appeared in comms. At least the devs made that super easy.

Battlebit filled the hole I needed it to while I avoided BF2042; quite fun, but the population died off and it started feeling stale.

I might look into the update when it hits, but with a worth-playing new-release Battlefield, I’ll probably just stick to Battlefield.

Windows Media Center! Oh wait…

The other Tesla Coil app I used was Widget Locker. Back in the days before Android had flashlight controls on the system tray, I had a lock screen shortcut for the flashlight.

Fair

Could be a gasoline/jet fuel powered drone, but still not energetic explosions.

As a result of the explosion, windows were broken in some houses but nobody was injured, PAP reported.

Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz later said the object was most likely a drone, adding that an analysis was underway to determine whether it was a military or smuggling one, PAP reported.

While I’m not an explosions expert, I would wager that a non-military drone likely wouldn’t be carrying anything that explodes energetically enough to break windows. I suspect only an explosives-armed drone would do that.

If Germany bans ad blockers and a German citizen or company becomes victim to a malicious advertisement, do they have a case against the German government or by extension Axel Springer?

As the article states, the distance between Italy and Sicily is around 2 miles (3 km), which makes this bridge unimpressive in terms of overall length, as there are hundreds of bridges longer than that. The article claims this would be the world’s longest bridge, comparing it to Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, which isn’t the world’s longest bridge, but rather the bridge with the longest unsupported span at 2 km. There’s no artist rendering of the proposed bridge, and no mention of whether Italy was planning to build this bridge in such a way that the main span would be over 2 km. This distinction means the difference between unremarkable, or modern engineering marvel.

I definitely interpreted this title as someone lighting a 110-year-old cigarette.

One of the dumb things my girlfriend and I do is call out one another for forgetting about Dre.

I have a Home Assistant automation that simply sends the following message as a notification to her phone:

“Reporters are on the scene in [redacted], where earlier today, blue collar workers encountered a Florida woman who forgot about Dre.”

I didn’t set any triggers, just manually ran it while she was at home after our air conditioner was serviced.

My laundry automations send phone notifications to my girlfriend.

“Front load washer’s got a big, wet load for you.”

“Dryer’s got a hot load ready for you to take.”

The whole discourse in US is all around illegal immigration specifically.

That’s a bold claim.

I don’t want to alarm you, but we’re now 22 years past your graduation. “Almost ten years” and then some.

But we did recently invent a new color, or at least a new way to perceive color.

Ecoflow DELTA 3 Plus

My Cyberpower UPS started going to shit last year and I ended up replacing it with a LiFePO4 power station that advertised a switching time fast enough to use as a UPS. I spent about $630 for a power station that can handle 1800W for an appreciably longer runtime than the lead acid battery backups, essentially one kilowatt hour. So far so good. My only complaint is that the outlets are on the front, which isn’t an ideal form factor for UPS duty. Plus, LiFePO4 is supposed to be good for ten years or so.

DOOM Dark Ages. I’m about halfway through.

Not a CEO, he’s the president of Panama.

A sane president who values geopolitical allies would just work out a deal with the host country to install more military bases in the region of concern, rather than burning every partnership we have by being aggressively expansionist.
