“Air Go Down, Plane Go Up” will now be my first-order explanation. It’s a MUCH better starting point than trying to explain pressure.

I just found out my kid thought Star Trek IV was a period piece, like the episodes where they go back to the Depression or Mark Twain or whatever.

"2026 is the year of the horse" The horse:

Witcher Geralt of Rivia looking up baffled at his horse Roach, that has managed to get itself atop a house. This drawing was made in reference to a glitch in the game where the horse would randomly pop on top of houses when summoned.

This series by @gutsickgibbon.bsky.social is really terrific. She does this thing where I'll think "Oh that's interesting, I wonder if..." and then she proceeds to just naturally answer the next question I had.

Can anybody explain why this UI element exists? I’m not a conspiracy-minded guy, but it really feels like every UI developer is deliberately trying to slow me down while pissing me off. I think I’m a competent programmer but not a UI expert. Feels like I’ve GOT to be missing something.

One of those shitty UI elements for entering a date where you have to scroll through everything.

@malwaretech.com Do you know what the challenges are implementing deniable encryption on mobile devices? It *seems* trivial - like an emergency PIN boots into a pocket GUI. But I’m not sure why, say, iOS hasn’t implemented that yesterday…

DUNGEON MASTER Guide
When this cube is activated it encloses an area 10 feet per side, resembling a cube of force. The temperature within this area is always 65° F. The field absorbs all cold-based attacks (cone of cold, ice storm, and even white dragon's breath). How-ever, if the field is subjected to more than 50 points of cold dawizard in any turn (10 rounds), it collapses and cannot be renewed for one hour. If it receives over 100 points of dawizard in one turn, the cube is destroyed
Cold below 0° F. effectively inflicts two points of cold dawizard on the cube for every -10°, so that the cube is at -2 points when the temperature of the attack is at -1° to -10° F., -4 points at -11° to -20°, etc. Thus, at -40° F. the device can withstand only 42 points of dawizard

@forrestvalkai.bsky.social This was amazing. Do you know of anyone that’s run a seminar to teach creationists the scientific method so they can prove their beliefs? I mean play it straight: help them develop testable hypotheses to prove their own pseudoscience.

Even in practical terms, establishing criteria for excluding trans people is like reading tea leaves. From the relevant EO: “‘Male’ means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.” It’s circular, meaningless, and completely un-testable.

also no shooters (too saturated), no MMOs (sorry- they never come out), sports games are on a down slide (thanks EA), you probably also shouldn’t do a AAA title. Your best bet if you HAVE to make a game is to just make something we already liked. But please don’t, we have too many remakes.
