When I googled “ship breakers game” all I get are results for Hardspace: Shipbreakers. Are they the same thing?

People love narratives that are simple and have an easy to understand moral to them even if they’re absolutely wrong. In this case, the narrative is that she asked for hot coffee and got hot coffee, and the moral is that people are greedy and stupid and you have to protect yourself from them. I’ve often found that one well-constructed point can blow these narratives up though. I was talking with my dad about this particular case, he’s a big “gotta do something about these frivolous lawsuits” guy because he used to own a business that was adjacent to real estate and real estate is probably the most litigated business in America. I’m a big “frivolous lawsuits is a term exploitative industries use to get people excited to give up their rights” guy, so we were at loggerheads about this one. Eventually I was like “Have you ever spilled coffee? When you did, who paid for your skin grafts?” Turns out that when crafting their narrative about how she was “suing them for giving her what she asked for”, the industry lobby left out the part where she had to spend 8 days in the hospital and have multiple reconstructive surgeries.

Below this comment is Harvard medical school contradicting you and saying that citric acid is effective in preventing kidney stones. Do you stand by your uneducated guess?

Then define the balance. How many seconds of efficiency is worth sacrificing 1 gram of edible potato?

Boomers: Why don’t you kids go outside and play. When I was your age we played in the dirt for hours at a time.

Also boomers:

Lazy fucks

Do you code?

immediate buy

on that social media site we don’t talk about there was an entire community called No Man’s High. That’s how great it is when you’re torched.

Ok but it could be a raspberry pi chilling in someone’s house using utilities they already pay for anyway.

literally every day. I don’t want to sequester myself in my room to play on my PC, and I don’t want to monopolize the living room TV and have a big desktop tower looking ugly in the entertainment center, so the deck essentially gave me PC gaming back. I debated whether to buy it for months and months, and I shouldn’t have. My goal was nothing more than to be able to play PC games and to unlock emulation on a small screen with real controllers. I just finished playthroughs of metal gear solid 2 and fallout new vegas, and I’m starting red dead redemption 2 today (if the damn download ever finishes). The only thing I’d caution a new purchaser about is springing for the big hard drive and/or being willing to install an aftermarket one. SD cards seems like a reasonable sol’n but reports are coming in that the deck is hard on them because it does a lot of writing to the card, and that an SSD is a worthwhile investment.

Ive been using something called Insomnia lately. It’s a bit less fully-featured when it comes to things like env vars, but I love that I can copy any call from my browser’s network tab as a curl command and just paste it right into insomnia

I wish I knew how dope it was so I could’ve bought it six months before I did

forager is on sale last I checked and is an absolute skinnerbox of “just one more task then I’m done for real this time I mean it”

if you buy it and play games on it, regardless of what happens external to you, you didn’t waste your money. I hesitated for like 3 months to buy mine and I was simply wrong. I’m having a blast with it and I wish I had gotten it sooner.

I was in exactly the situation you’re in. Do it. You’ll get your pc gaming time back. I went from “I never play anything” to “daily gaming again”

“gift” feels like a very important word on that sentence that is being overlooked
