Currently sucked into Kingdom Come Deliverance, which is similar to TW3 in that it's a first person story driven game, but set in IRL 1403 Bohemia instead of the fantasy setting. Very good historical storytelling, I think.

Simulated red/green colorblind (the most common one). Dark = bad sorta works but not all the way.

They look very much like black and white cats :D

The white cat has that princessey squint look and attitude, and the black cat looks ornery but is probably and amazing cuddly cat while also being a butt sometimes.

I loved that guy, politician I think, who said "This app is disgusting. It's just full of nearly naked young girls!" and everyone was like my dude, it's an algorithm, that's on you.

The idea is that they'll be used to track pregnancy and hurt people in certain states. Chaos will help the situation.

I'm in. Anyone know of any apps that DO report data?

Was talking to my mother earlier, saying how excited I was there was a ballot measure for switching a lot of primaries in CO to ranked choice. She said she they had ranked choice in VT a little while back, and she didn't like it, and that it was too confusing. I was sad and surprised. Never occurred to me that anyone would object to a better method, especially for a reason that sounded like "oh I just don't know about all these new fangled computers". Oof.

Feels like alternate voting has the same issues that a lot of new ideas do, which is PR and UX (I'm looking at you, science!). I hope we don't have to wait for old clueless people to die off before things change.

Articles like this are going to make people think they don't have to vote. Ffs

Yeah it's hard to grasp. I'm used to 5% XCOM which is like pff gtfo who cares. 5% national is BIG.

Mine tried to correct 'about' to 'Scott' if I even swiped a bit wrong, and now it's locked in and doesn't even work if I do it carefully.

Startpage if you like Google, DuckDuckGo if you like Bing.

Potatoes were popular last year, so now we're including potatoes, jars of gravy, and little cans of baked beans buried in the candy bowl this year.

 

About 6pm from Louisville on day 1. The smoke had just crossed over Boulder.
