I would love a new Rayman game in the format of Rayman 3! Don't get me wrong, the 2d games were great, but it just doesn't scratch the same itch

Currently the Settings app in windows doesn't have the same level of features as the control panel does. It's definitely got most features that normal users will need, but if you're a power user or a system admin, you'll quickly find yourself having to swap over to control panel to configure anything past the very basics for quite a few different parts of windows. This change will be fine if Microsoft achieve feature parity between settings and control panel, so that there's no lost functionality when they get rid of control panel.

I think most people are a bit upset at the idea of the control panel disappearing because they don't trust that Microsoft will end up reaching that feature parity, leaving people with less options to control their own devices effectively.

Most of mine are videogame or car related, but here's a few from across the spectrum of things I watch:

Aliensrock: Interesting streamer/YouTuber who primarily plays puzzle games and provides entertaining commentary.

ScrapMan: Plays lots of building/engineering games (mostly Scrap Mechanic and Trailmakers). Lots of silly multiplayer competitions and "engineering challenges".

ItsJabo: Funny guy Streamer that plays Bethesda games with silly challenge runs. Also brings a bit of the chaotic energy.

Joov: same as above, but a bit more focused on telling a story throughout the challenge runs.

Aging Wheels: Eccentric guy that makes videos about eccentric cars. He's quite funny and passionate which makes for good videos.

Superfast Matt: Engineer who makes ridiculous project cars that are good enough ™️. He's made a land speed car, and recently an Off-road Dodge Viper.

Allen Pan: Inventor that makes a bunch of fun and silly projects sometimes based on stuff from TV shows and movies.

Incognito Mode: Especially the "In the Field" series. Basically an animated podcast where the Internet Historian and a guest talk about a variety of topics and come up with ridiculous scenarios.

Tasting History: Max Miller makes cool recipes from history whilst also giving a history lesson on the meal and its significance.

The reflections are absolutely beautiful in this painting, and it has such a tranquil air about it. Great artwork, thanks for sharing it here

You could try and make a DIY swamp cooler? There's lots of instructions online for how to make them, and basically the only consumable is water. The only caveat is that they work by drawing hot air in from an open window to evaporate water, so it's not very effective in high humidity or low temperatures.

Reminds me of something from Zoids

Not that it makes the situation that much better, but that's $895 Billion, not Trillion

It's wild that's legal there! Where I live learners and provisional riders are restricted by power to weight ratio (150kw per tonne/200hp per 2000lbs), and that honestly seems like it keeps them on reasonable bikes for the skill level without having them all stuck on 125cc bikes struggling to reach the speed limit

100% agree about the fragrance, one of my faves!

I've always loved a Frangipani (especially the white ones)

Picture of White Frangipani Flowers

I have a soft spot for flowering trees, and these always remind me of fun times by the coast (plus some part of me thinks they look like a delicious forbidden food).

I think they're lamps made out of beer bottles (just with no lightbulbs installed yet, they'd sit in the top).

For anyone who's interested, there was a movie made that was loosely based on this story called Oddball: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt3401748/
