I'm not 100% sure if factorio was the first, but the devs at Wube certainly perfected the idea and now there's a whole market for the "factory game" genre.

And this statement makes even more sense when you realize that race isn't a real, measurable thing, but a social construct to group people with similar physical characteristics into one easily reduced and stereotypical "enemy". all races are nothing more than social statuses.

(I recognize that in our modern world, after centuries of propagating the social constructs of race, it has sort of become a real thing insofar that we can't pretend the idea simply never existed. it is impossible to "solve" the issue of race and have a society where benign physical characteristics simply don't matter in day to day life without addressing the historical oppression and modern inequities of these groupings)

https://youtu.be/FS52QdHNTh8?si=Cr5PW-7FQJimgHbI your post reminded me of this amazing documentary called "The Brainwashing of my Dad" in which the documentarian talks about how Rush Limbaugh and the greater right wing fox news propaganda machine turned a man he once respected and looked up to for his strong character and morals into a barely functioning hatemonger.

Libraries are safe spaces for minorities and the LGBTQ+ community. Books in general spread awareness and raise empathy and can also help struggling young people understand that they are not alone.

That quote isn't saying people of these communities read or use a public library more than those who aren't; it's pointing out that the erasure of public safe spaces and resources affects groups that benefit from their existence more.

All of that doesn't even mention the content that was likely present in those 500,000 books.

A split keyboard and a good chair improved my desk comfort more than anything else I've tried.

It still grinds my gears that Warner Bros. patented the Nemesis System they used in their shadow of war/Mordor games. I'd love a whole genre of those kinds of games with different settings and themes.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the final one is the symbol for "five" and it takes 5 strokes to draw. it'd be like drawing a 5 one segment at a time in an eight segment number display as the tally marks.

Side eyes BLM protests, Free Palestine demonstrations and generally most left wing events that are definitely never unjustly broken up by police.

His skin color.

Hopefully it's obvious I don't agree with that statement, but at the end of the day, that's what this case is really about.

distance: how far you've traveled if you put all the steps in a line (may also be gps tracked too)

azm: active zone minutes or how many minutes you've spent with your heart rate in the "active zone" where you burn more calories

floors: how many flights of stairs you've climbed

calories: estimate of how many calories you've burnt based on all the other stats

but it's MUCH cheaper, so keeping with every other shitty idea he's ever had, Musk was REALLY banking on Tesla engineers to make a crazy breakthrough so he could reap billions in reward.

It worked at SpaceX because of a perfect concoction of all the best rocket scientists and engineers wanting to work at SpaceX, since it was one of the only space programs not owned by a government and could push the boundaries, the technology being possible and wildly practical to implement, and massive government subsidies.

Tesla is in the car market, which is notoriously competitive and, while they do have massive government subsidies, they don't have the best engineers and musk's insistence that they "figure out" how to shove autonomous driving into a medium that simply doesn't provide enough information drives even the better engineers away.

I really wish my government would stop funding his ego and let his fantasy projects die already.

Illogical!
