This isn’t the dems fault, and I don’t think this would have worked (the republicans probably would have chickened out), but in a dream scenario where politics wasn’t politics, I would have liked to see a coalition of both sides come together to elect someone like Emmer (hopefully I got that name right). He was the best solution the dems were ever gonna get, and personally I would have had a lot of respect for dems swallowing their pride and voting for him to keep the far right from taking control.

Of course, it’s all moot as long as the house keeps that awful single person can vote to vacate rule on the books. The far right would have just taken turns with movements to vacate and create a different flavor of turmoil.

All that said, it’s not the dems fault we are here - it’s the fault of the freedom caucus, the party that let those people become candidates, AND the people that voted for them.

i think so. it’s really a very different gameplay loop - mostly you’re laying track and maybe adjusting junctions. the level structure really eases you in, and, for better or worse, there’s no signaling but trains will ghost to avoid collisions (this slows them down, so you’re still rewarded for building good layouts where no ghosting happens)

i think at the very least, you’ll be able to tell if it’s a good fit inside of the 2 hour refund window, or you can watch some early game stuff on youtube

def checking this one out! i managed to hold off buying it on EGS for the dev to finally announce the steam version, and he’s put effort in to make it steamdeck AND mac friendly :)

also, roadmap says a more sandboxy mode is planned, which I think will be great for longevity (hopefully)

my guess is the software equivalent is the architect role - basically someone high level that doesn’t code much but does design the overall way that systems interact (or, to put it redundantly, designs the architecture of the full system)

however i don’t know if this term is en vogue as much anymore except for very large scale businesses (i would bet money that banks employ architects, for example)

i wish i knew. i can tell you when i was laid off (in software), i was given an nda and non-disparagement contract that my severance was contingent upon so based on that experience, these companies consider severance a “gift”

edit: i think it also (duh) depends on the state - many states are “employment at will”, and i would guess in those states since they can dismiss you without cause (save for discrimination), you aren’t required to pay severance. most companies still do, but i imagine the requirement wouldn’t mesh with the concept of at will employment

i dunno how many actually got severance - i know i read the recent sony studio layoffs didn’t pay severance which is … worrying to put it lightly

hey! i watched him in HS as he absolutely ran over everything on the field!

honestly i don’t know why he did so poorly on the NFL - did he have drug/legal problems, or was he just a flop?

is he required to be in court for his criminal trials?

In case I couldn’t love the factorio team more, they go and throw in a TERRIFIC futurama quote. absolute beauty.

edit: FREE WIRES! yay!!! those poor mods are gonna be out of a job :)

is this a self-reported number? or should we really take it at face value and believe it’s accurate?

I really just wanna see the judge eviscerate this “no victims” defense BS. We do NOT wait for someone to be hurt to enforce the law. Can you imagine how many speeding tickets would be pled out of if this was a legitimate defense?

Even if you scope it down to the case at hand, we’d keep letting people commit financial fraud until the bank is finally harmed. And guess what happens when banks get fucked? The govt uses the common people’s tax dollars to bail them out.

dang at the start of the trailer i was really hoping you’d go through the whole game with a gun but no ability to use it

 

Currently long-pressing on a comment displays a ripple but doesn’t do anything beyond collapsing that single comment (same behavior as simple tap). It would be great if long-press could collapse a comment thread all the way up to the root comment.

Thanks, all of your updates have been terrific!

 

Is it possible to view other instance's frontpages from within an instance? Or, is that something where you just have to go directly to that other instance, and then if you find something interesting, you then navigate to that community via lemm.ee/c/comm@instance and then find the post?

(I discovered yesterday post IDs are instance-specific so if there's an easy way to go directly to a post you found while not inside lemm.ee that would be useful info too)
