The embedded video seems bugged, but it should work if you click the archive.org link (title or thumbnail) directly.

I love how they used orange tinted film in parts to really emphasize the heat feeling.

Wow, that is a fantastic article and a terrific resource. @[email protected], this might interest you as well, since all I could think of while reading it was your wonderful rendering of a solarpunk sailing container ship. The ideas about offshore cargo hubs to distribute the cargo with smaller electric boats as well is good food for fiction and art, methinks :)

Thank you for sharing it, Puddle!

So that’s one use case down, leaving mostly just airplanes where that biofuel would be specifically useful.

That’s good to know it can safely be skipped. I may return to it someday due to that, thanks for letting me know!

I think since the total amount of bullet votes isn’t as massive as previously thought, it may only be somewhat outside of the norm, making the possible fraud less likely.

I can see where it may be best to be tactical with a demand for recount if it won’t change the outcome, as then it could make it harder to have a recount in the next election to the point where it does change the outcome. That’s just my 2 cents tho.

According to snopes, the claims made by the Spoonamore guy are kinda iffy, I’m afraid. :(

They still have a little over 300 Monthly active users, which puts it in line with my own instance. So not huge, but certainly not dead.

Might I suggest Zapatista Coffee? It supports the Zapatista movement/schools in southern Mexico. Basically a bunch of folks who are creating decentralized mutual aid networks as the basis for society.

The coffee is quite good, from what I’ve heard.

1. Is an explanation for people posting angrily about democrats
2. No they didn’t? What?
3. C/climate is the most active community on slrpnk.net and gets many more passerby comments from other instances. The timing isn’t terribly unusual, especially considering the little preview text for the article explicitly mentions the biden administration dropping the ball on the environment again. Most people aren’t going to read the article and only respond to the title/preview.
4. The corporate democrats are clearly the ones who hold the reins in the DNC (hence how Bernie got fucked over), why is it odd to say that?

Oddly, while it shows no posts in that community, if you switch to comments it does show two, and clicking the link to its thread will bring you to @[email protected]’s post from 2 months ago. I assume the posts not showing up in that to be a bug?

Before I played any of the witchers, I thought I’d REALLY like them, as the concepts and theme are right up my alley. But ultimately, I came away from the series with… it’s just alright.

The first game I bounced off many times due to how slow the start is, and it didn’t help that I installed a combat overhaul mod which makes the game WAY too hard. Once I got into the city or chapter 2, I started to enjoy it, but ultimately gave up on it in the second city due to the combat (moral here, play with vanilla combat! Probably would’ve had more fun). The story was alright, but didn’t grip me too much.

Witcher 2 I managed to beat. The combat was fairly decent, and I thought the story and pace were a good improvement, with a beginning that was interesting in its own right. I was quite impressed with how much your choices could change things, and really got into the dice poker. I don’t have too much bad to say about it, other than being disappointed that so many of the choices didn’t matter in the 3rd game.

3rd game I bounced off similar to the first. I completely cleared out the first area, which left a bad taste in my mouth. I felt the game had unfortunately inherited that sorta directionless feeling so many open world games have, and found a lot of the side content to feel like filler, while the main story was utterly failing to grab me, and I bailed only a few hours in with the baron that has a problem with the baby. I utterly hated that POS but was forced to help him to continue the story, only for him to give a breadcrumb at the end, sending me onto the next breadcrumb. Progress in the main story just wasn’t feeling meaningful, and ultimately I just didn’t care about any of the characters, and gave up to play something else.

I may have enjoyed the 3rd had I given it more time, and I may have gotten further in the 1st had I not modded it, but with the 2nd game just being ‘good’ but not blowing my socks off, I figured I’d experienced enough to not really have much desire to go back to it.

What term would you prefer?

I’ve never had a problem, always enjoyed my time interacting there 🤷

Solidarity with authoritarians has a long and sordid history of betrayal and being lined up against walls in the end. Anarchists have had to learn that lesson in the most brutal of ways.

It’s not compatible with apps yet, unfortunately.

There’s a difference between being a socialist, and blindly defending authoritarian regimes that claim they are socialist. Those instances earned their reputation for a reason.
