The game is great and the learning curve can be tricky, but it has a whole load of scenarios which gradually ramp up the difficulty and introduce new concepts to help you learn how to play. I’d highly recommend checking out the game!

Europe doesn’t set all the rules at the EU level, this type of thing was probably law in many EU countries before it was law at the EU level.

I’m curious who the target market for this is. When buying your own system you typically want to get the best performance for your money, and with the Apple tax included you’re always going to be paying a lot more for similar specs to something you can build yourself.

Hamas maybe started the latest conflict, but they’re certainly not the ones that are continuing it at this point.

Absolute life saver for the chronic procrastinators among us.

Thanks for being so generous with this! I’ve been meaning to try out Returnal for a while now so that would be awesome to get. Something that made me very happy this year was my dog. We got him just over a year ago as a puppy and I’ll be honest it was pretty tough at the beginning, puppies are a lot of work and he’s a stubborn little boy, but this year he’s just got progressively better and better and it makes all the work we put in at the beginning so worth it.

Hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year!

Not directly relevant to your post I thought your post was culturally interesting. I live in the UK, and a pub pint will ALWAYS be what you listed as imperial pints. I believe it is illegal to call it a pint and it not be that size. I’m surprised how small the American pub pints are in comparison.

And what tells you is how fucked the internet is since almost every single webpage asks to use tracking cookies.

For me it’s the ability to type. Someone starts watching and immediately every other character is a typo.

I think Zotero can generate a file which you can then import into LaTeX with all of the citation details. That’s worked very nicely for me in the past.

Outer Wilds.

The whole soundtrack is just so atmospheric, I regularly listen to it while working as a kind of focus music, but some tracks are so good I get the chills while listening.
