Heavily-salted bleach flavour, too. Unusual for jell-o, but strangely familiar at the same time.

No 'a', so it's perfect for ordering some piss.

Clicking the 'Activate' link prompts you to enter your shoe size and postal address, so that you may receive a shark plush toy and your own pair of The Socks.

Oh, grapefruit. I didn't think gfuckfruit was very likely.

Don't suppose it has the same work-around as Dark Souls? In a game with a serious medieval theme, it does of course censor all knight-themed characters to eg. K***ht Solaire or whatever. Unless you change the system language during character creation. Then you can play with any swear in your name you like.

Amanda canonically gets back to earth to die of cancer as an older woman, so she does manage to return from the "floating in space" ending of Isolation, too.

Creative Assembly have confirmed Isolation 2, as well. Hype!

Impressive, since "network effects" are what keeps people on a platform. Why move off Xitter or FB when everyone's on there, and not on the new place? Keep moving a significant fraction of a million people every week, and pretty soon, it'll be where everyone is.

My partner, who is very non-technical, signed up for a BlueSky as well this week: "all the teacher blogs have declared that they are moving over". Looks like everyone has had enough.

Most of the laptops I've had open lately have had about the top third be the motherboard and the bottom two-thirds be battery, with maybe some ports and speakers tucked down the side. So I'd expect that last of replacements to include the battery, too.

I might check whether the hard drive survived - a decent M.2 is small, expensive and reusable - and maybe the RAM if it's not soldered in.

Writing this on a Tuxedo Pulse 14 gen 3 - great laptop, flawless Linux support and a coding workstation. Perfect for a bit of eg. Disco Elysium or Crusader Kings 3 on the go, but it's no gaming machine; it has a lot of pixels for a Radeon 780M to push. They do have a list of gaming laptops, though, if you wanted a speciality machine?

I'd imagine that they're unproductive because of the long hours that they spend in the office. It's been a source of mystery to me (European) how our offices in America manage to put in 60 hour weeks every week, often with a crazy commute before and after, and yet never seem to make fuck all progress on anything. Better to concentrate on how to be as productive as possible for time that you are there, than to fetishise the total amount of time?

Jimmy Olsen loves to munch on something that's long, hard and full of seamen?

That looks worse, though. It's enhanced the printing on the other side of the page so that it's more visible.
