Mediocre drone pilot. Dilettante. Crawling backwards out of heaven. Part of the problem.

Really good & informative piece. The whole thing is so frustrating. So many aspects of the accident that weren’t just “all the holes in the Swiss cheese lining up” by chance but the circumstances/system effectively guaranteeing they’d align eventually.

Was curious about this as well - apparently they use C-17s with “Roll-On Conference Capsules” (ROCCs) command centers that just this year replaced “Silver Bullet” capsules (Airstream trailers!) that weren’t airworthy. Mobile SCIF/working quarters. I didn’t know these were a thing.

seriously if you're linux-curious but don't wanna fuck up your Important Computer, get a used thinkpad on ebay and pick one of the basic bitch starter distros like mint or ubuntu or cinnamon and play around on it. if you don't vibe with one of those try switching to another before giving up. no risk

Really nice review 🙏 and a very good reminder I needed to just let yourself…enjoy things. And kinda wild that a gacha port(ish) is this good. Time to go finish my Octopath 2 playthrough I think…

More parsimonious is that you're just a brain in a sous vide. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/vat PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com
1-panel SMBC comic update - Two men are walking in the woods. The first asks the second how he can know that he's a brain in a vat experiencing an illusory reality. The second man's rebuttal to him being in an actual body experiencing a reality is that it would be unreasonable to suggest that an entire cosmos lined up just to give him the experience of walking though a park that morning. The caption below the comic reads : "Technically, external-world skepticism is the most parsimonious theory."

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is here, and it’s an impressive remaster of the classic PlayStation SRPG. For my review, I did something a bit different: Gathered your AMA-style questions, and spilled tea on the new graphics, Delita’s kissability/punchability, difficulty, and more!

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Appreciate you being the one who turned me on to the first one after I was griping in slack about struggling with STS. Such a better on-ramp and more approachable difficulty curve than STS for people new to (or bad at, like me) deck builder type games. Is 2 just more of a good thing or is it fresh?

Principal Jaime Cook describes one of the third graders in her northern New York school as particularly rambunctious. In a phone call with me Saturday evening, she says this particular student loves to sing and loves to dance. But last week this child was handcuffed and taken by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), along with other family members—two of whom are high school-aged kids. While they all remain jailed in Texas, classmates leave cards on the student’s desk and hang a welcome home banner they hope will be seen.
