Where are you getting this data? How do you measure "most talented"?

When K'Breel, Speaker for the Council, heard that their Martian robot spy had been discovered, he had their gelsacs flanged. No one was reached for comment.

The ironic thing is, with all that whining you sound exactly like a "Karen."

Welcome to your new tribe, friend, you were always there.

In reality you can be fine in either a home school or public school environment. Or, either one of them can really mess you up. I know a few kids who graduated early from high school (some doing home school, one going straight for the GED two years early), so they could escape from public school and enter the much more healthy environment of university life.

I've been hearing rumors about the next Xbox functioning more like a PC. I don't know if that's wishful thinking bullshit or what but it could be a clever way to shoehorn Windows back into some people's lives that would otherwise switch to Linux at least for non-gaming purposes. There's lots of people out there who use a cheap PC to do PC stuff, and game mostly on console.

It's not difficult to back up all the pieces and parts of a game installed in Steam on Linux. If it's a Linux game then everything will be contained within some Steam data directory, except probably your save files. If it's a Windows game, everything is absolutely in a small number of well-understood directories, including the runtime. Better yet, most of those are happy to run without Steam, except of course for notable examples which use it for something.

None of this is meant to crap on offline installers, which are great. If I can get the same game for around the same price on GOG or Steam, I choose GOG.

Recent US Census map data is fairly decent. OSM is generally quite good here now also. But I do think there are certain classes of road which are generally only updated occasionally at the federal level if municipalities do not self-report changes.

Newt Gingrich did that years ago, when he spearheaded the movement to purge the party of moderates. The progression to full blown insanity got its start there.

Not that the Democrats have been that much better in recent years. Ask Seth Moulton about that, when he said he didn't want his daughters run over by men playing on their girls teams. The Democrats tried to force him to admit he was wrong, that he supported men on women's teams then step down. The party faithful demanding his cancellation.

I merely report facts. Looks like today, when you have an opinion your party will tell you what your opinion is, or be banished.

If their IT security was this halfassed, then their physical security probably was too. They could have solved the IT security problem by hiring someone competent to do an audit, and then follow their recommendations. They obviously skipped at least one of those steps. That kind of sloppiness doesn't occur in just one area, it has to be systematic.

Google used to tell me to drive up someone's driveway and take a bridge that didn't exist in Kelseyville CA. What's frustrating about this is that one of their street view cars had passed by that driveway, so they had enough information to know that it wasn't a valid route, but they didn't bother to process it in that way and kept recommending a route that didn't exist and which would have saved maybe one minute if it had.

Google spent a lot of money gathering the data it needs to dramatically improve their routing information, but doesn't bother to do so.

Lithium batteries are extremely recyclable.

Of what?

What about your missing words?

You need an editor even more than Slashdot.

I only use Steam (The software, as opposed to the store, which can be used through the web) because I'm forced to do so. I'd rather not. While it's possibly the least crap of the game store apps, it's still crap. It shouldn't even have a browser in it. It should be calling out to your browser. AFAICT the Steam updates still don't resume if the download is interrupted, which is weird AF to say the least. This isn't a problem on a healthy modern connection but if your connection is flaky then you can't even get Steam installed, or updated. Game downloads resume so once you get it installed you can do game updates over even a poor connection, but not a Steam update.

That's a lie, you're not sorry.

They shouldn't have used a word that is a human behavior.

Oh man - Green Acres. What an experiment in surrealism. That show never got the credit it deserved. And Twilight Zone does get credit, fortunately. One of my favorites, was the one with Bill Shatner as a nervous guy who was on a plane, and kept seeing gremlins. I was just a little kid the first time I saw that one, and when he pulled back the curtain and the Gremlin was looking at him right outside teh window, I darn near pissed myself.

Or "Two" with Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery.

Has she given you one of the TikTok "tests" yet? Like the "Ignore your Husband for a month" or "fake breakup in public" tests? Be careful.
