Any of the classic valve games (half life, portal, and their sequels). If auto shooters are your thing, vampire survivors is less than a small coffee. Dead space (the remake) is $15. Halo MCC is $10. Titanfall 2 is $3. The “new” tomb raider trilogy are all less than $5 each or get the bundle. Alan wake is $5. Prey is $3. And Batman Arkham origins is $2.

Just a handful of good games for cheap. There’s many more out there.

Because Tennessee v Garner allows for this to happen. If the police believe that the fleeing suspect poses immediate harm to them or others then they’re allowed to use lethal force. He drive a car through a shopping mall and injured people. Cars are 4,000+ pound missiles.

I also want to point out that legal justification does not always make right. But at least understand the situation.

I’ve been using proton for a couple years now. I trust and like the services they provide. Plus they regularly perform third party audits and make the results public. https://protonvpn.com/blog/no-logs-audit

I’ve been paying for proton mail for a couple years now. Decided to stick with Bitwarden when proton announced their password manager as I liked it more. Based on this fiasco I gave it a second look and so far I’ve been liking it. I haven’t committed to abandoning Bitwarden, but I’m certainly on track to.

Cleaner in the sense you don’t have the whetstones forming a slurry on top while sharpening as cheap stones tend to do. A slightly damp paper towel will clean off any metal shavings if the diamond stone is used dry. I don’t think this is a problem with high quality whetstones.

I have two DMT diamond stones in coarse and fine. They both do the trick and can be run wet or dry. I also have a set of cheap Chinese “whetstones” from Amazon. Gotta say that both sets are able to sharpen my knives. The diamond stones I find way easier to use and a lot cleaner.

The plane is 7 years old. This isn’t a Boeing issue, this is a Southwest maintenance issue. Engine cowlings are regularly removed for maintenance. If a latch or latches aren’t properly secured or suffer from excessive wear then this is the outcome. I get the disdain for Boeing, but it should be based on issues of their negligence, not the negligence of their customers.

GN has a fairly thorough review and comparison of the Oled deck vs the asus ally. There’s pros and cons to each. https://youtu.be/egdV0NLoL-c?si=7ZdbYdMzG2PbJy0T

I didn’t get it during the sale, but Cocoon. Such a fun little puzzle game with great art direction. It’s well worth its price tag despite being a fairly short game.

Tunic is on my list and I’ll probably pick it up later this week.

Pilots aren’t paid to manually fly the aircraft from A to B. They’re paid to handle emergencies and abnormal situations. The kind of situations that automated systems are extremely poor at handling.

I’d have to say I’m eager to see an official release of the rust cosmic desktop from system76. I know it’s going to be fairly bare bones and I know you can already download it and play around with it. I’m just excited for another option.
