Cosmic explosion will be visible to the naked eye in once-in-a-lifetime stargazing event in c/science

That is crazy. And some stars are probably exploding right now and it will only be visible by our descendants in a few thousands of years. They will look like at it wondering how it was to live in our times.

I would like to enjoy Zelda BOTW but … (self.games)

I didn’t play any Zelda since Ocarina of Time which I loved. I was expecting to have the same feeling in BOTW but I just can’t get into it.

After a few time into it I feel lost. I know that I have to go to some dungeon in the mountains but I just can’t because the character is freezing to death. I cannot afford spending hours randomly exploring the map, relying on luck to discover which mechanic protects agains the cold. There is no guidance except for the fact that there is a dungeon to explore.

I looted a nice sword but after very few encounters it broke in the middle of a fight. Weapons being so fragile just do not make sense, maybe some people appreciate that but knowing that whatever looted is going to be destroyed just make me want to stop playing.

If anyone felt the same, did it click at some point into the game ?

At home my breville delivers espresso’s at 93 degrees C. But it cools quickly in porcelain cups. Did they serve the coffee at boiling temperature?

It’s the fancy name they gave to the mix between cocker spaniel and poodle.

I love this dog. Medium to high energy, a bit stubborn, but smart and playful. Loves kids.

I remember thinking Steam would die in less than 6 months because nobody wanted dematerialised games…

How did Australia’s university system get so broken? Pretty much the same way as everything else in c/[email protected]

[–] Maraval26 2 points 1 year ago

It was in 2007 for me, I remember one year of university fees costed like 2/3 of one month of my mother salary (secretary in the public sector).

With my studies I got decents jobs.

I see from Obsidian website that syncing costs 8 USD per month. Looks expensive for a basic feature.

I’m using Joplin which is great (and free).

I’m from Europe (Belgium) and did not know it was like this in Australia. Keep fighting this mess. Good luck from the other side of the earth.

Are those pillars structural ?

Brother was good but I’m disappointed by the last units I had. After 4 years of light home usage (one page here and there), they are not picking up paper in the tray. Same for some relatives which bought similar units. Feels like scheduled obsolescence …

STIB - MIVB those entrance - exit gates in the stations (self.belgium)

When I saw the first STIB - MIVB portals a few years ago, I was thinking they wouldn’t last long due to how agressive they are. Although being an honest commuter paying all my trips, I have been almost sliced in two by them multiple times (without injuries except for my self esteem ). but those doors slamming into elderly persons could send them to the hospital.

And now we even have to scan to get out of some stations, this is generating extra delay during peak hours, sometimes there are only two lanes for a whole fucking metro… Everyone having to scan, not everyone is ready to scan, sometimes the scanning does not work for a single person which adds another extra delay… There is no way to have a soooth exit flow.

If we want to reduce the number of cars in Brussels we need to find better solutions…
