Nuclear isn't the worst option if it pushes us to net 0 fast, especially if investment is made in spent fuel processing facilities (government owned).

It is very much a stopgap, but at this point some kind is likely needed.

There's a really good video on this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSSkDos2hzo

Adding a little exercise to your life is rarely a bad thing, but to shift fat diet change is the big one.

Here's one that will have a steady impact - drink an extra glass of water with each meal (helps you feel full for longer), and invest in an apple corer (for easy apple snacks) - aim for an apple a day. It's helping me slowly lose body fat by reducing caloric intake.

The UK is more "left of the right" than left at the moment. Though, there is hope the greens might wake up and gently pull them a little more left.

Remember, the band of fuckweasles that is reform are polling close to labour.

Wait, am I officially old? Does that mean I can finally go full Gandalf and start all my courses with bad "you shall not pass" jokes?

No porn = more horny people = more births

No abortion = more births

The logic driving US legislation everyone, it's not so much "protect the children" thinking as "make the children have children" thinking.

Honestly, they've guaranteed that the US therapy industry is going to have patients for decades to come!

"A trader or third party can upgrade and improve the features of digital content so long as it continues to match any description given by the trader and conforms with any pre-contract information provided by the trader, unless varied by express agreement. "

That's an odd paragraph to include.

3 teas no lunch is even better - especially if you brew your tea to the consistency of tar...

This literally just happened to me...

For every mod you add, complexity usually increases exponentially.

Depending on the game, difficulty also varies: modding stardew valley is joy (117 mods in a pack, easy afternoon sipping tea), modding skyrim less so (oh god,these two amazing mods tweak the same tree, time to go patch hunting, 2 weeks later you play it only to spot obscure graphical glitches, all hail wabbajack automation!), trying to make a working multiplayer mod pack for rimworld is pure suffering (why do you hate me, why do two compatible mods generate mass instability?!? 4 months of bug hunting and unsalvageable runs due to strange mod interactions, gave up for now).

That is less fucks-per-line than most code. There are also no suicide notes in the code, which is usually a good sign (unless your coders are planning a coup).

Sounds like healthiest production to me.

That is the most Australian image I have ever seen.

What really worries me is if an AI were to go rogue and repeatedly fill in this form with plausible but false details.

It'd waste hundreds of hours of brave ICE enforcer time, and clog up the internal system. Especially if it kept passing in duplicates, because the site specifically warms against that.

 

For when you need something to test video playback on your old windows 95/98/XP friend (files and instructions in description).

Not all art shows something beautiful - this really does feel like the internet of today without a lot of browser tweaking.

Blackboard Ultra (lemmy.world)

We've received word that we're migrating from the older version of Blackboard to the new, "student approved", Blackboard Ultra.

We'll be migrating our courses by hand over the summer; how bad is this going to be?

 

A few years ago I stumbled onto this, and it provided a nice afternoon feature film. Figured the folks here would enjoy it!

Might and Magic (Merged) (www.celestialheavens.com)
 

Truly a test of patience - this is an excellent modpack that unifies 3 classics together into the way I dreamed of playing them as a kid.

Found it by accident a week ago, and it's been my short nightly unwind (trying to do a solo run because I always wanted to).

 

Thought I'd share this list as it contains many emus I've not heard of before and I'd love to hear people's reviews on any folks have tried.

 

So, in the past, I used to make a bit of money fixing up comps for folks.

With slightly trickier cases, I used to boot up puppy Linux to check the more essential hardwares (and if it booted, back up essential files for the customer). My students are now asking how to manage similar things.

Alas, puppy is no good for a modern system, as it really does not like UEFI boot. I was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative.

I'm looking for a very lightweight gui os I that can run some hardware diagnostic tools, runs on a wide range of hardware, that is easy enough to set up on a pen for novice users.

So, kgen98 was one of the first genesis emulators, and it runs on dos.

I use it in one of my ICT classes (paired with a sonic 1 rom) on a floppy disk to demonstrate just how heavily compressed and optimised older games were.

It's an oddball that is definitely worth trying out.

A handy tool for developing vn style games for the Gameboy and Gameboy colour.

Great for people starting a game dev journey.

 

Mednafen is worth a go if you're looking for a lightweight set of emulators to run your dumped carts.

Discworld MUD (discworld.starturtle.net)
 

Thought I'd post this up here since I've not seen it mentioned. For those who want to explore the world of discworld, this is a great MUD.

Very friendly community when I hop on every few months, and with a lot of rich detail from the books.
