Which part? He does have an extremely heavy Scottish accent, it took me a bit to become fluent, lol

Regarding decentralized internet, your idea is being enacted! I posted a couple short docs about that over on [email protected]

Here’s the first one, I’ll go hunt down the second.

Edit: found it!

I don’t see that as any more desirable than a US or Russian CEO doing the same. It’s all wage slavery for the people generating those profits, and it’s all gravy for the CEOs to funnel into offshore accounts. Only funding a worker coop would make it more ethical and desirable, regardless of geographic location, IMHO.

Wouldn’t the surplus profit just go to the CEO of the company? I can’t imagine there’s much difference for the average worker in China between mass manufacturing PC’s for direct sale vs. Mass manufacturing for another brand.

I don’t believe there are many worker coops building PCs, unfortunately.

Great movie, great find!

Matrix is the closest replacement, and XMPP can replicate some functionality too.

You’d probably enjoy his normal content then! He makes great stuff.

If you’re not sure what StopKillingGames is about, the creator of the campaign, Ross Scott (of Freeman’s Mind fame) made this short video to give the rundown.

Fahrenheit 451 is certainly worth a read. I read it late in life, and could see immediately why it’s so often read in schools. Very well written, and a compelling story.

Another book that you may find quite personally compelling is The Chrysalids by John Wyndham (Archive.org has a free audio book version), due to the themes it covers.

Anecdotally, my Pixel 4a which I have dropped multiple times still looks and works like new, even the battery is great!

I too had an otterbox case, which I think helped with those falls.

Looks like I was duped by this article, which claims its using Godot. I can’t find anything on the web about them switching away from Unity besides that, so I think you’re right.

Cheers for the info! I saw someone in the comments of a video on this bundle that someone mentioned Zenva’s youtube channel has a 4 hour Godot course for free, so probably best to just hit that instead.

Hollow Knight: Silksong and Slay the Spire II are being made in Godot, along with a bunch of other indie games. So far it hasn’t been used for a AAA or AA game yet, AFAIK. They have a showcase on their website.

Personally, I’m excited for Road to Vostok, which was ported to Godot after the Unity debacle.

Anyone have any experience with Zenva courses?

Those are pretty terrible options to surpress, since once they are made subsonic to avoid the supersonic crack, they have little energy to actually inflict wounds due to how light the bullets are (still deadly, just very underpowered). He would’ve been better off with a 9mm or a 45, but both would’ve been a little harder to conceal.

A British gun nut wrote to Fleming about how terrible the .25acp is ballistically, which is why Fleming later made bond use a Walther PPK in a .32acp. The gun nut also inspired him to create Q.

If your main value is small government, have you looked into classical anarchism?

A big enough surpressor combined with a subsonic bullet actually can make a gun movie-like whisper quiet, and even can be ultra quiet on a pistol.

But most of the ones used in movies are small enough, or used on a semiautomatic, to where they would be louder than portrayed.

So myth half busted!

Rest in peace, Paul. Your Christmas and Thanksgiving cooking specials will be missed the most.

Smaller farmers and operations can often invest the time and money to do what’s necessary to produce clean unprocessed milk from healthy cows in a clean environment.

At least in my case, the local small farm I was buying my raw milk from ended up having extremely unsanitary conditions inside. They would open an entire vat of milk inside the barn where the cows were kept (and where flies were buzzing around) to ladle out the milk into a jar. It suddenly made sense why a family member had e-coli poisoning not long before.

I stopped buying raw milk after that, though I can see how, if done in a sanitary way, it wouldn’t be quite as dangerous as my local farm ended up being, but I think state inspectors might’ve had the work cut out for them, or maybe it wasn’t strict enough?

Tim Hunkin’s Secret Life of Components did an episode on Relays, which goes over the different types and the ways he uses them. A great series even for a complete novice!
