This is wikipedia:

An indie game, short for independent video game, is a video game typically created by individuals or smaller development teams without the financial and technical support of a large game publisher, in contrast to most “AAA” (triple-A) games. Because of their independence and freedom to develop, indie games often focus on innovation, experimental gameplay, and taking risks not usually afforded in AAA games.

I think that is a pretty good definition.

Australia will ban imports of disposable vapes in January, the Health Minister said on Tuesday, the first step in a crackdown aimed at curbing the growing popularity of these nicotine-filled devices with young people.

I don’t really understand why young people using tobacco is fine, but vaping is not.

trash80,

the companies that make vaping products have tricked teens into thinking that they’re safe

It seems to me that restrictions should be placed on marketing and violations of those restrictions should be punished accordingly. Cracking down on vaping won’t prevent something similar from happening in the future.

trash80,

Wouldn’t it make more sense to broadly regulate how recreational or intoxicating substances are marketed instead of playing whack-a-mole with piecemeal regulation every time a new problem pops up?

trash80,

I think that if you can make being cannon fodder fun, you can make a lot of money.

trash80,

I was thinking more about the line soldiers of the Astra Militarum as cannon fodder rather than Orks.

It is very important to stay dry. You got to pull layers off way before you start sweating.

I didn’t know Europe had a problem with that.

I remember dentists telling me to brush after every meal.

trash80,

I was unaware.

Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

trash80,

Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now

because “consumers” don’t have the self-discipline to quit giving money to businesses who do shitty things

What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal....

trash80,

add your cracker of choice if you want something a hair more substantial

trash80,

Good grief.

trash80,

Brother in law, stubborn as he is, outright refuses any option other than giving it back to the shelter. No care for the realistic hard chance it will have getting adopted again after being given up for a third time.

If someone wants the dog, why not just adopt it from the shelter?

trash80,

Maybe so. I think getting in touch with the shelter and explaining the situation would be worth a shot. They may have some advice.

trash80,

Thanks.

trash80,

It would be nice if they provided a link to the text of the bill.

trash80,

That is information that might be found on facebook or in your local newspaper.

trash80, (edited )

They already reported this once, citing helicopter footage as evidence:

new.thecradle.co/…/israeli-apache-helicopters-kil…

Politifact said that it was false:

politifact.com/…/no-this-video-doesnt-show-israel…

I guess they figured that no one can challenge the evidence supporting your claim if you don’t use any evidence to support your claim. Big brain move right there.


Edit: Disregard this. OP article does not make the claim that Israel killed Israelis at the music festival.

You’re correct. I’m wrong.

Using a high-temperature plasma tunnel, scientists have discovered what it might be like to plumb the depths of Uranus.

Sure, we know it would be smelly; but there are other considerations that need to be taken into account when designing a probe that can withstand the rigors therein.

People are stupid, but this seems to be happening because low-income countries have low vaccination rates.

Low-income countries, where the risk of death from measles is highest, continue to have the lowest vaccination rates at only 66%; a rate that shows no recovery at all from the backsliding during the pandemic. Of the 22 million children who missed their first measles vaccine dose in 2022, over half live in just 10 countries: Angola, Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Madagascar, Nigeria, Pakistan and Philippines.

“The lack of recovery in measles vaccine coverage in low-income countries following the pandemic is an alarm bell for action. Measles is called the inequity virus for good reason. It is the disease that will find and attack those who aren’t protected,” said Kate O’Brien, WHO Director for Immunization, Vaccine and Biologicals. “Children everywhere have the right to be protected by the lifesaving measles vaccine, no matter where they live.“

Near-Future file type concept "Digital Memory" (lemmy.world)

This is an idea I’ve been toying with for a bit. There is a ton of media that includes unimportant information that doesn’t need to be stored pixel perfect. Storing large portions of the image data as text will save substantial amounts of storage, and as the reality of on-device image generation becoming commonplace sets in...

You should go pitch this to an audiophile community as a new lossless codec:

Freebird is only 2 minutes and 30 seconds long, because we replaced the guitar solo with text that says [10 minute guitar solo], so you’re not losing anything.

trash80,

I hope so. I’m so fucking tired of hearing about it.

trash80,

There are many factors.

trash80,

Thank you.

Misconceptions about lemmings go back many centuries. In 1532, the geographer Jacob Ziegler of Bavaria proposed the theory that the creatures fell out of the sky during stormy weather[9][10] and then died suddenly when the grass grew in spring.[11] This description was contradicted by natural historian Ole Worm, who accepted that lemmings could fall out of the sky, but claimed that they had been brought over by the wind rather than created by spontaneous generation.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemming#Misconceptions

what the fuck

trash80,

The misconception itself is much older, dating back to at least the late 19th century. In the August 1877 issue of Popular Science Monthly, apparently suicidal lemmings are presumed to be swimming the Atlantic Ocean in search of the submerged continent of Lemuria.[13]

Good grief. I think I need to lie down.

I would think that the descendants of African slaves brought to America are mostly living in America, not Africa. I don’t know how much sense it makes to pay reparations to countries in Africa.

I didn’t know that.

Is the dog getting enough exercise?

Is the dog getting enough attention?

Does the dog have his own stuff to chew on?

Do you spend time training the dog?

Have you tried anything to change his behavior? Does he know he is doing something wrong?

Does everyone in the household tell him he is doing something you don’t want him to do in the same way?

When EMTs arrived at the scene, McClain was given a shot of 500 milligrams of ketamine for “rapid tranquilization in order to minimize time struggling,” according to department policy, and was loaded into an ambulance where he had a heart attack, according to investigators.

trash80,

The statement did not identify the source of the fire on the convoy, which consisted of five trucks and two ICRC vehicles.

Did they even know the source?

Do you have any advice about how to not be a single issue voter?
