"Back in the day" The Wire came out. I love that show now, but damn. It was basically my introduction to a "slow burn." The show literally starts with a murder, but it took me like 2 weeks to stay awake through the first episode of season 1. RIP Snot Boogie.

What crispset do you have in your PC?

Mushrooms. The first few will probably be pretty rough, but you'll quickly start to see the possibilities with different textures, shapes, adding gills underneath, etc. If the clay is different colors you can get buck wild. After fewer than you think you'll probably be pretty good at them. You can even screw in a hook at the top and turn them into ornaments for friends and family if that's your thing.

Even after this walk back, the whole situation still sucks for everybody but Unity. Even the part about removing the "requirement to use the Made with Unity splash screen" bit seems like blatant self-preservation more than capitulation. They've got to be aware that there are probably consumers out there willing to boycott any game with that splash screen, leading to lower install numbers. I'm not in game dev, so I'm just talking out of my ass, but it doesn't seem like studios are really bothered by including those pre-roll splash screens all that much.

One of these plants is right off an interstate and I drive past it frequently. Within a few weeks of this news breaking, there were "NOW HIRING" billboards put up for miles in either direction. Ignorance is a virtue in the American South.

I'm not a political analyst in any capacity and this is pure conjecture, but my gut is telling me that he's getting info that enough West Virginia republicans are willing to vote independent to carry him over the line in the next election. So, walking that out, if republicans are willing to break straight ticket voting to keep a "half-flipped democrat" in office, I think that speaks more to the fracturing of their voting bloc than the acumen of an individual politician who seems to be seeking office for personal gain over party goals. I'm very interested to see how much money is spent on this race this/next year.

I found myself on Reddit by way of Google the other day while looking for an answer to a niche question. I noticed that whatever post I clicked on opened in a new window (on mobile). Maybe it's just been that long, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember this being the default behavior. Reddit's other shenanigans aside, any site that seems to use target="_blank" for every link has definitely lost my eyeballs.

I'm pretty sure they do it to prove copyright infringement should another dev/publisher copy and paste their exact agreement into their game or service, like how cartographers put fake cities/landmarks on a map to easily prove someone copied their work. I remember an AWS service having a "zombie apocalypse" clause at some point.
