The human body evolved for resilience: having a large number of bones provides redundancy, meaning that we can break many bones and still have at least one to spare.

It’s also partially a vestigial trait, as our ancestors needed to do a lot of boning in order for the species to survive - nowadays we don’t need to replenish our numbers as much.

Australians serve food on flat landscapes? D:

“Heteros” means “different”, not “opposite”

Damn, if only SKG explicitly stated several times that the initiative doesn’t aim to affect ownership of IP or prevent DRM from being used during the game’s lifetime :c

That’s the problem - they put something in the water blood, to turn you into a puddle of hurt

Time to party in Castle Fanu I suppose, don’t drink anything they offer you though

In USA metropoles during rush hours, maybe.

For people where >3 out of 4 stop sign encounters are uncontested, the feature is idiotic because not only it slightly wears out the starter, but shutting the engine off and immediately turning it on burns more fuel than letting it spin for those 0.5 extra seconds worth of power, and I doubt the catalytic converter feels that little difference.

Granted, I regularly see a few cars idling while their driver/passenger is buying cigarettes and it drives me nuts, but that has little to do with the start-stop system itself (and that *little* involves them disabling it).

At this point my muscle memory simply toggles it off as soon as the engine is on, occasionally I even manage to predict when I have to stop for more than 5 seconds and turn it on in time.

It seems unnecessary, they could just have its user-set switch as one of those factors rather than forgetting everything upon disablng it.

Some cars, like mine, only allow you to temporarily disable the start-stop system, and it turns on every time you (fully) start the engine.

In my car specifically, if you manually turn the system back on, for whatever reason you have to reach a minimum speed of 10km/h before it works.

Unfortunately that’s the case with all UWP applications, they’re deep-rooted into the OS

Sarcastic comment or not, not knowing that you could use something other than Gnome (or what Gnome is in the first place) was the reason I avoided Linux as much as possible when I was forced to use it during my first year in university

Must be a Boeing plane

Vntage Story is pretty neat, it does require a WAN connection to start it for the first time but AFAIK it’s possible to play it completely offline afterwards.

Beimg as mechanically complex as it is you’d think you need a wiki open the entire time, but the ingame “guide” has everything you need to know.

I don’t know about the state of public multiplayer servers, but it is LAN compatible and it actively supports modding!

The duplication never made any sense to me, I’m not aware of any OS’ mechanisms for ensuring that files don’t get fragmented;
idk about Windows, but the Slim version was just as fast on Linux when I had the game on an HDD - most of the mission loading time is CPU bound anyway.

It’s still a great game - it has a whole bunch of issues, but a fraction of the online community is making it look like playing it will burn your house down and frame you for the assassination of JFK.

Didn’t you hear?
Screenshots of body temperature takes from Twitter technically count as Memes according to some definitions, these are what we’ll have to consume for the foreseeable future

Hey, there’s no need to be mean just because they have a þorn addiction

As Bungie demonstrates: you can take the studio out of the Microsoft management that makes passionate employees quit, but you can’t take the Microsoft management that makes passionate employees quit out of the studio.

It says “top left”? That’s wrong, it’s the top right corner
