For me it's the ability to type. Someone starts watching and immediately every other character is a typo.

I disagree with this mindset.

In a purely hypothetical scenario say 10% of people vote for the third party candidate, and this candidate has policies which neither of the two main parties have, say more green policies. When the results come in and one of the main parties lose by 5%, they're going to start thinking about adopting a few more green policies to capture some of that third party vote for the next election.

Voting third party can absolutely change the policies of the main parties, it happened in the UK with UKIP - a party which had less than 10% of the vote and no chance of a majority, but it spooked the big parties enough that they promised a referendum on EU membership.

But in a racing game the wheels can also twist from hard lock left to hard lock right in a millisecond, not sure that's possible or desired in real life

My partner also doesn't like losing, and so we bought a few cooperative games instead. Now we both have a great time regardless, as we both win or lose together. Aeon's End and Spirit Island are two games which we play which we particularly enjoy!

I think Zotero can generate a file which you can then import into LaTeX with all of the citation details. That's worked very nicely for me in the past.

I live in the north east and everyone has been talking about it today. I visited it quite a few times over the years and genuinely feel a profound sense of loss over it. It's not like a building or something that could be rebuilt, it's just gone forever. Devastating.

This is so wholesome, thanks for sharing! I might have to learn how to lucid dream just for this

Outer Wilds.

The whole soundtrack is just so atmospheric, I regularly listen to it while working as a kind of focus music, but some tracks are so good I get the chills while listening.
