I don’t know what kind of spells these would be but I fear the wizard who knows them.
All true caveats, but they do clarify it’s just preliminary data suggesting that it works positively. Literally nobody who had time to respond to the second dose got infected.
Obviously an actual study of effectiveness is important and will have the real answers. But it comes in stages, and stage 1 is establishing that it’s safe to use and theoretically works, which they successfully did here per their aims. Mentions of effectiveness are just “at a glance it looks good” and that there’s currently no good reason to doubt the vaccine works as intended.
It’s quite insane. A couple years back I bought and played an indie space game that had beautiful graphics, weather effects, 'splosions, space stations, hundreds of star systems etc.
That game’s installed size? 260MB. 186MB on checking.
The full game could fit on a CD-ROM about five times over and it was still many hours of cool gameplay. This massive universe exploration game is smaller than 90% of the 2D procedurally generated games I own.
Looks like they still develop, and still offer demos which I think is awesome. And their game sizes look still super reasonable.
I’m not really sure how you achieve that kind of compression, I assume most textures are hand-written shaders or something rather than 4k .png files.
It was also with a massive group of people. Which makes an entire world of difference.
Yes, migrating from Windows to Linux is a learning curve. I totally appreciate it’s frustrating, but it just comes down to “you were raised with a different thing.”
I just want a normal operating system where I double click an app to activate or install it, and it has full functionality no ifs and or buts
I say this as someone who has spent years as IT support for Windows, Mac and Linux computers respectively. There’s no such thing.
cause I want to spend two hours googling how to install non-Linux compatible software on Linux
I mean this is your problem. If you don’t want to mess about googling how to do stuff, then use software that’s built for the OS you’re using??? You’d have infinitely more issues trying to get Windows to run software not designed for it.
My assumption is you’re just used to closed Windows software. Linux has its own software and/or native executables for any tasks you’d need to do, and even many (or most??) games nowadays, where you can install/run everything with a double click and don’t need to type anything.
Otherwise, if you’re reliant on Windows-specific software for some reason, then sorry but you have to live with your costly insecure proprietary invasive nonfunctional OS slop. Instead complain to the developers for taking closed garden single-OS approach when it’s actually incredibly easy nowadays to be multiplatform.
then, like, isn’t basically every Western leader a “war criminal”
Honestly, I think the best approach one can take in response to hypocritical liberals is yeah, Putin’s an asshole war criminal, but sadly the west and NATO are even asshole war criminaler.
I mean, that’s pretty bad. Only being able to use the API severely restricts the kinds of apps you can install, making a user controlling their own device significantly harder and massively strengthening the hold of the Play Store.
Ah, the two fundamental biases as described by Marx, democrat and republican.
Couple points to add on to things there: I’m not aware of any Eurocountry where shop workers are allowed to forcefully detain you and/or check your bags, without directly seeing you shoplift, and so long as you don’t agree. Even if laws permit it, it’s exceedingly rare that workers are allowed to enforce it because of the huge liabilities.
If someone tries to stop you, inform them you won’t be detained and that you’re leaving, then just leave by any means you peacefully can, even calmly hopping barriers. This is what I do even though I’m not stealing stuff.
Be aware of your rights, any wannabe cop security guards who do actually detain you might be guilty of assault, depending on their actions and local laws, for which you might be able to sue the company, or even just threaten to sue if you’re not released.
Reactionaries gonna reactionary. The good takeaway is that most people don’t really seem to agree with the main parties anyway.
Blending chickpeas and little flour can be enough to get a soft ‘patty’. Gram (chickpea) flour is a great alternative, which is just chickpeas milled so fine it holds together quite strongly, but can be pricey depending on area.
If you don’t mind a little spillage, lightly mashed refried beans or (fried) chickpeas go hard in my sandwiches and are proteiny. Or just mash them all the way into bean/chickpea burger for extra togetherness.
Genuinely not a bad idea to reduce their power
I personally think it’s mostly people who really have no consciousness about politics whatsoever.
I’m more baffled by the 25% of Tory voters preferring communism. I want to meet these people who support the conservatives but don’t actively want fascism??
That is actually hecking cool. Despite our shitty electoral politics, there are already a good number of people actually caring about socialism.
??? Nobody gets blown up going to NK. And tourists frequently enter by land.
“…for poor people only”, Ellison finishes. Let’s put cameras on the bourgeois class and see what behaviour results.
Israel has the unfortunate advantage of being one large US military base. And instead of being just generally murderous occupiers like Americans in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, Israel’s approach is simply to kill everybody and turtle outwards.
I hope it’s unsustainable, but while they have relatively few losses in manpower and the West provides it with effectively unlimited support, I’m not so sure.
