Tin whiskers have also been identified as the cause of some satellites going down too, so spacecraft definitely still using leaded solder.

Also recommend looking at the homepage of that site. Lots of cool pictures and research papers on metal whiskering.

He fucked up by revealing his age?

At the time of this photo, I don’t know if an alternative would have been remotely feasible. It’s impossible to place judgement on historical actions with a modern moral lens. The idea of letting treasonous individuals live would have been untenable.

But as other posters have shown here in response to my comment, lifelong incarceration does seem to be the better option even if you’re looking at it purely from a policy and cost perspective. And rehabilitate is only possible if they’re not dead.

Well, the next question would be, “what’s the alternative?” Is lifelong incarceration better?

Another great roguelike is Hades, which may or may not have dominated my video game attention for the last 8 months.

Touché good man.

No need to create a word for something that falls within the definition of another word or turn of phrase. Reddit has certainly followed Facebook down the inevitable march of the Enshitification of the Internet.

All you had to do was tell me he sells his own supplements…

I reflexively read that in Dwight’s voice.

I just missed this gen entirely, and with the exception of the Switch’s successor, I don’t think I’m going to be buying another console for a very long time.

I used to be a dedicated console gamer… I had an NES growing up, then a Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast. Picked up a Game Cube somewhere along the way. Then I had the Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, WiiU, and finally the XBOne and Switch. I’ve had PCs mixed in there from time to time, but most gaming was done in the living room on console.

Then the Series X/S and PS5 come around… there were the massive supply issues, and everything was moving to 4K and I didn’t have 4K, and none of it seemed worth the upgrade. At this point my laptop was a dinosaur from 2011 and needed to be replaced anyway. So I built a desktop PC, which gets gamed on alongside my Switch, and my XBOne has been gathering dust.

Harbor Freight is fucking awesome.

It’s amazing. You won’t be disappointed.

It was good fun. I enjoyed the whimsical and trippy bits with the flower you could get in each level… and how the game mechanics changed each time.

Whether or not it deserves a series though??? I don’t really think so. These smaller Mario games like Wonder, 3D World, Bowser’s Fury, and New Super Mario Bros U to me are nice little appetizers between bigger 3D open world adventures like Odyssey and Galaxy. More than anything, I’d love love love LOVE to see a sequel of some sort for Odyssey or at least a few DLC worlds. But with Mario Wonder just releasing, and getting a Mario movie, I don’t think we’re going to see another major open world Mario game until the Switch’s successor releases.

I liked Wonder; I liked the movie; but if given the choice, 10 times out of 10 I’d choose even DLC for Odyssey over either of them… Wonder and the Movie were fun. Odyssey was pure joy. It’s been a looooong time since a video game made me unconsciously smile for as long as Odyssey did.

The statue is awesome, but it fails to capture the hatred and aggression in the photo.

I fucking know a guy who claims he’s got no idea what heartburn is, and that he’s never had a headache. He’s about 70 years old and is probably the happiest most joyful person I’ve ever met.

Your house sounds awesome to look at, but my ADHD wouldn’t allow me to live there. Nothing would get done, and my family would die when the house collapsed.

You strike me as someone very close to people who don’t share your same views on a lot of topics.

Because that’s the way it is man…

I can live-stream myself performing a public execution in front of a crowded stadium full of people, and plead not-guilty. And the presumption of innocence before the court means I can do that as much as I want regardless how obviously guilty I may be.

And like it or not, that’s better than the alternative. A presumption of guilt before the court opens oneself to much more easily be wrongfully imprisoned for crimes you didn’t commit. Not accounting for obvious injustices that have occurred due to shortcomings and corruption in the system, these initial principals give us the best shot at having a system that’s less likely to fuck us than not.
