I've read the first couple chapters of Dreamsnake by Vonda N. McIntyre which I picked up after looking through the bingo thread.

I haven't read any of her work before, and am enjoying it so far. I'm finding the prose pretty crisp and readable.

Yes, but poker themed. 'Combat' is a round of poker themed solitaire with a point target. This is followed by an opportunity to spend money to upgrade your deck with fancy cards or modifiers. The point targets are constantly increasing, so you need to keep upgrading to complete a run.

If you like Slay the Spire, I would definitely give Balatro a shot.

Thanks for the update, but I'm not seeing the option anywhere? There is thumbnail left or right but I didn't see an option to hide.

Good analogy! The cars seem to turn by just rotating around the center axis so it holds there too.

Yeah I'm going to keep playing, but obviously not until next week. I thought that they were done changing stuff.

I tried this for the first time over the past week or so. The driving immediately stuck out as the weakest point, so having more travel options sounds good.

I kinda wish they had just RGGed it and put everything in like a five block radius. I'm extremely early, but the city and environment just feel bad.

I have a Zenfone 9, and it's fine basically. The size, 3.5 mm jack, and battery life are all good.

There currently isn't a boot unlocker from Asus though there apparently used to be one. The UI is pretty stock-ish, so it isn't too bad, but I do wonder about updates in the future.

No, they are owned by Relx (fka Reed Elsevier), known for PAX and the scam which is the academic publishing industry.

Ok, so the report is on the person (CEO in this case). Only directors and certain executive levels are required to report.

Table I shows 'non-derivative securities' (regular stock). The CEO holds in their own name 3 million+ shares. No transaction was reported for those, but they have to be listed.

The CEO's spouse aquired 2000 shares at a cost of $1.425 each. After this transaction, they had 2000 shares total (column 5).

They then sold those shares for $40 each. After, they weren't holding any stock, so column 5 shows 0.

The CEO financially benefits from this, so the transactions are listed on their form, as (I) for indirect. If the spouse also had a position within Unity which required reporting this would be listed on their own SEC form as well.

It is right in the SEC filling which anyone can look up. The 2000 shares sold were by the CEOs wife, which is why they are marked as indirect.

$80k is rich people walking around money when compared to ~$100 million. It was part of an automated selling plan and not suspicious in any way.

There's an old Peter Lynch quote about many reasons to sell but only one to buy.

Selling 2000 shares while retaining over 3000000 shares seems to indicate that this is for quarterly tax payments, which are due this week.

I'm not defending any actions of Unity.

The author / headline writer are being disingenuous or just clickbait chasing.

:::Spoiler

Does anyone else think the Shadowheart showdown at the House of Grief ends oddly?

Talk to priestess: Does Shar know about this prism thing? "Nah"

Kill everyone. (Ok this part was expected, but a little disappointing)

Documents: Prism operatives are Totally Expendable.

Next room: Shadowheart's parents are being personally tortured by Shar. This is right in front of the memory eraser, which seems like the temple's money maker.

Tonally, this seems so strange. I guess it is part of the Larian design philosophy that gods must be directly involved, but it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense here.

Hi, is there an Android app which allows hiding / not loading thumbnails from the post list? Like the top level would just be a list of titles, and the thumbnail would only load if the post were opened.

I assume Sync allows that setup, since it did for reddit. Are there any others?
