You can use the Pinecil to solder a new wire onto itself!

They can tell from the bones where the muscles attached, and what movements they made. They could piece together an animal’s walking gait just from that.

Looking only at a dead person’s bones, one could deduce what sports they practiced, for example.

Yeah, one of those tiny barrel jacks. But it doesn’t come with an AC adapter, so you have to find one that matches.

The question was what happens when you run over a stick of butter, not how squishable is a stick of butter

The Pinecil is nice for small projects and accurate work because of its size. It heats up in just a few seconds, and fits nicely in the hand. It’s USB powered, so you need a USB-C PD power source to run it, ideally with a long enough cable that it won’t get in your way.

If I had a need for frequent soldering, I would get one of the high-power models with a small pen, or at least one with a better cable. I like the Pinecil a lot, it’s really good at what I need out of it, but I think it needs some work before it becomes a good professional tool.

There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1, but none of them is 2.

Eddie Murphy playing every character except Danny Ocean. But at the end, it’s revealed he was also Danny Ocean.

Mystic Vale is a neat take on the deckbuilder. Each player starts with the same 20-card deck, but Instead of earning new cards to add to your deck, you modify the cards themselves.

You add these clear plastic cards into the sleeve that add or modify one of three sections on your cards.

I felt it was the other way around. 2016 was simple and effective. Eternal just kept throwing shit at you, especially at higher difficulties. I kept hoping the big battles would end so I could move on, but more monsters kept coming. And then they threw the Marauders at you which just didn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the game because of how you have to fight them.

What if our sims live in a swimming pool with no ladder?

I’m friends with Tom already, I don’t need Elon in my life.

It would be nice if we could see that kind of information

Agreed, it’s now last-gen, but far from obsolete. There’s nothing the new generation adds that would relegate the last generation the the e-waste pile. A 4080 Super is still a very powerful GPU that’s likely to be more than enough for several years.

Its ranking has dropped by 44 spots on Steam’s top sellers list. Unless the sales numbers of everything else have shot up significantly, that implies that sales of the Steam Deck have gone down. I don’t know how significant it is because I don’t know how the rankings are done, but it’s a pretty big drop for a 2-week period.

$7.99 was the only price at some point. Then they reduced the quality of the service and increased the price.

Yup, 8 million people in the province, mostly concentrated in two dense areas, and yet it makes perfect financial sense to shut down operations there and pass the work off to a third party. Definitely nothing to do with the union at all. It’s not like Amazon has been fighting unionization efforts anywhere else, right?

I’m willing to believe that some of the top players might do it, but how many of them brag to the public about how highly they’re ranked and how good they are at the game while barely knowing how to play it?

Let’s be real, who’s good enough at the game to be able to rank someone else’s account up to the top levels without themselves being at the top levels?

I’ve definitely had Windows hard lock before and stop responding to the keyboard, from Win95 all the way to Win10. I have no experience with Win11 so I can’t speak for that, but all others have situations where it can happen.

In fact, Windows is bad enough that the disk usage being high can cause the system to stop responding until it’s done and drops back down.

Are there distros that are actually unsuitable for gaming, besides ones that are designed to be CLI-only or specific to antediluvian hardware?

I feel like gaming-specific distros just include stuff that you could otherwise just manually add to any other distro and make it suitable.

The boy said, “My name’s Johnny and it might be a sin
But I’m gon’ take your bet and you’re gonna regret
I’m the best there’s ever been”

He’s boasting about it before, and gloating about it after. But the devil is expected to sin, so it doesn’t matter. Johnny on the other hand knows he’s being boastful, and goes and does it anyway.
