I had to walk to a different price check scanner.

When I upload a short video to Pixelfed, I don't get a preview image. The video is mp4 H.264. Is there a solution? I would find Pixelfed super as an Instagram replacement. But without a preview, it's not that nice. I gave an example as a link. What experiences do you have with pixelfed and videos?

The Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward forcefully denied making statements attributed to him by James Comer, the Republican chair of the powerful House oversight committee, in which Woodward supposedly said Joe Biden was financially corrupt.

“The statements attributed to me in what is apparently his book are false,” Woodward said. “I made none of those statements he attributes to me. I repeat none, and not even in a paraphrased form.”

Woodward said Comer was “peddling stories, conclusions and allegations that just do not check out at all”.

so much to organize, damn you humble bundle

I hope it's okay for me to crosspost here.

About 30 minutes after taking off from JFK airport, January 11, 2025 - 6:07pm - I noticed a light blink on and then off in the sky just above the horizon line, so I grabbed my phone to see if I could catch it on my camera. The blinking continued sporadically, and the light stayed in the same place. I noticed all the clouds looked like UFOs underneath, or just oval clouds. The light split into two in some places. Long video - most of the blinking happens in the first few minutes.

i was flying JFK to SEA and sitting on the right side of the plane.

What could this be?

I also took another video of two blinking pink lights later in the night sky, but I’m really confused about those ones because they kind of seemed to move around where I wanted them to, and I can’t explain that. That one was taken over Tonawanda at 6:25pm.

Lastly, as we were first taking off from JFK and finally punched through the clouds, probably around 8-10k feet, I saw a giant star. I went to grab my sky map to see if it was a planet, when I noticed it moving slowly and it was a lot closer than I thought. It was a solid bright light, as bright as a star but much bigger, and just hanging out in the sky above New Jersey. wtf. It had no flashing lights on it. I took a photo but it was blurry and gone before I could take another.

Edit: I was sitting in the window seat with my body blocking the reflection behind me. There were no lights behind me other than the blue strip lighting in the plane.

I went for a haircut today. My usual barbershop has closed down, the owner retired, and the guy who did me went to another shop, that was closed today. So I went to a new place. I only asked for the usual, #4 buzz cut on the head and #3 on beard, but nobody else was in the place, and they ended doing everything they have: buzz cut, razor around the edges, hot towels, neck massage. Almost an hour in the chair.

Felt a little hustled, but it was not that much, and I did not say no to anything. I think it was a promo by the shop owner, they want me to come back. I will be in front of a lot of people next week, so does not hurt to look as good as possible, and I did enjoy it. Probably won't do it all the time, though.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the article:

Robocraft was near and dear to me. It's also the reason I don't bother with live service games anymore. In 2017-2018-ish, Robocraft was one of my favorite games, ever. Then they were able to take that game away from me and replace it with something I liked far less. This is inevitable for any live service game; if not replacing the game you liked with something else, then its removal altogether so that no one can play it anymore in any form. It sucks.

It’s with a heavy heart that we have to tell you all that we’re ceasing production on Robocraft 2 and closing Freejam as a studio. With the current market conditions and the server costs required to keep a game like RC2 running, we’re simply unable to launch or sustain development.

You know, if you let your customers run the servers themselves, we'd be able to keep playing the game and you wouldn't have to bear the burden of those costs!
