Look on the right side. Graffiti says “Carlos Perez” and the flag has the word “presidente” in it. Neither Dubai nor Mumbai since nobody there would write graffiti in Latin alphabet or in Spanish for that matter.

I cared for the characters. There was some real emotion going on. Diving with Judy with “Pyramid Song” playing felt special. The Panam tank mind sync scene was bizarre but memorable because of it. The whole V vs Johnny Silverhand mind war makes you think about what really makes you you. The taxi AI side quest was quirky and fun.

And there is one part of Night City that’s straight up an hommage to the iconic Ghost in the Shell scene where they stand in a semi flooded part of the city. Made me nostalgic.

It’s not really an open world RPG though. It’s more story driven and when the stories are told, well… not much else to do.

You are not missing something, they are.

The first couple of years are the most important for a child’s development. The more you can be there for your kid, the better. And sharing the load of child rearing will increase the bond between you and your spouse. It’s disgusting to see American men reduce “supporting the family” to just bringing home money. Your family needs so much more than that!

I applaud you for taking paternity leave. Most of the criticism towards you is probably a mixture of ignorance and jealously. Take your 12 weeks and come back with a smile on your face and brag how awesome that time was - because it will be.

For comparison: I live in Austria, childcare leave can last from a year to two years and parents can split it 18mo/6mo for instance. Add to that 8 weeks of mandatory “birth time protection” before and after the predicted birth date where mothers aren’t allowed to work by law but receive full salary. I WISH my wife and I could have split our maternity/paternity leave but it didn’t work out financially back then.

My YouTube channel. Been at it for 10 years, haven’t even broken through the 100,000 subscribers ceiling yet. But it’s fun, so I keep doing it.

I literally had an official support person tell me to reinstall Ubuntu to get a specific app running.

No regrets. Polestar 2 MY22 long range AWD. Ride is a lot harsher than in the BMW i4 for instance (family member has one). But overall I wouldn’t want to switch.

“Net new logos” was an actual term used in the company I previously worked for.

As an avid Dune books reader (all of them), I think Villeneuve did the best adaptation possible. As a character, Chani is much more fleshed out in the films and Rebecca Ferguson CRUSHED it as Jessica. Oscar Isaac also was a very good Leto.

My big gripe is with Stilgar and Paul. Stilgar in the second movie was almost relegated to comic relief. Yes, he is also portrayed as a believer in the books, but it felt like a caricature in Dune Part 2.

As for Paul, I had hoped for more focus on why he actually went to drink the water of life. In the books he wanted to avoid it. But events he couldn’t foresee and put people he loved in danger pushed him over the edge. In the film I didn’t get any of that.

Still, loved both parts. Definitely worth a watch.

With normal news websites, A/B testing could be a thing. We had a rudimentary implementation of that back in 2011 already. But this is Reuters, a news agency. They are B2B and don’t care about clicks, their business model is selling first hand reporting to other media outlets (e.g. CNN, USA Today etc). As stories develop, so does the title. Especially when ongoing conflicts are concerned.

Ugh, might be a EU region lock thing. I hate that type of restriction, especially for a global sports Event. The organizers or media have been going after every shred of shared media from the ceremony. It’s ridiculous, do you want to promote you event or not?

Sorry for the rant, but these antiquated copyright behaviors make me angry.

Clearly thou ART not like the French.

That wasn’t just cool, it was badass! You can rewatch it here: https://youtu.be/cJowjYixfEs

I’ve been using Backblaze long before it showed up in YouTube ads. It’s a great product.

Fun fact: “Mordhau” literally translates to “murder hit”.

Sorry I don’t. I only have the HDMI card.

Does the Index really need full DP or does it work via USB-C? Because in the end all those expansion cards are just USB-C accessories. I’m asking because we own a Quest2 and use it with USB-C and my desktop PC. Haven’t tried it with my Laptop.

I have the 13" AMD one. Only reason I still have Windows on it is because I can’t get Davinci Resolve to run under Ubuntu. Otherwise very happy with my purchase.

Had this exact thing happen to me. Luckily my Framework laptop’s BIOS allows me to pick the EFI boot order and I set it back to the Linux Boot loader.

Nope, Austria. I can imagine they have the same problem in Amsterdam as we have here in Vienna.

No, no and no. In our country, there’s a loophole in traffic regulation allowing for anything under 25kph on bike paths if it’s electric powered. This resulted in a super dangerous situation for normal cyclists. I commute by normal bike and believe my it’s terrible:

• food delivery guys switched to electric scooters (think Vespa) and clog bike paths. These things are way too heavy in case of a collision with a pedestrian or cyclist.
• the 25kph speed limit is not observed! Either the manufacturers don’t care or the drivers tweak their rides.
• the acceleration is way too sudden. Even a regular E-Bike needs to ramp up to speed. And you see when the driver engages his drivetrain by way of them moving their legs. With a throttle you just have a lump of mass that suddenly jumps forward. Super unpredictable.

So now we basically have way too big, way too heavy and way too quick objects on bike paths endangering everyone else.

There needs to be strict mass limits for vehicles allowed on bicycle paths. There need to be acceleration limits. There need to be mandatory checks for pedal-less ebikes. If a bike from a manufacturer is found that can exceed the speed limit, there need to be existentially threatening fines. Because their products are threatening lives!
