America's #1 Cult
  • I came across this, had fun. Took the Dirty Arty route, started lobbing dynamite at them then ran in with the shotgun. Very entertaining, and even managed to not get Arthur killed in the process.

    Trump a ‘danger to US security’, say generals ahead of Harris debate
  • Our international partners began moderating the intelligence they would share while Trump was in office. They couldn't trust him to not blab about state secrets during dinner parties just to try to impress people with how smart and important he was.

    GRAFT - Announcement trailer (post-cyberpunk game from the makers of the Shadowrun Returns games)
  • Used to have fun playing the RPG with friends back in the late 80s and early 90s. Always liked the background to the game, the blending of tech, magic, and fantasy realms. Looks like all 3 of those PC games are on Steam, have to put them on the wish list.

    What was the last time you were lucky? Could be a winning lottery ticket, nice coincidence, be at the right time at the right place, etc.
  • Found $500 that way last year. Windy afternoon, blew into the parking lot from the main road. My thought of "holy shit, cool!" was tempered by the next thought of "this is gonna suck for whoever dropped it".

    ‘Right to Repair for Your Body’: The Rise of DIY, Pirated Medicine
  • It has been popular. People were traveling out of country for joint replacements. Costs were less for travel, surgery, and recovery than what they would pay for it here. Covid put a damper on travel for a couple years, so not sure if it's still as popular. I would consider it if/when I need knee replacements done. Considering what I've heard about the quality issues of joint replacements in the US, I don't want one here.

    ‘Right to Repair for Your Body’: The Rise of DIY, Pirated Medicine
  • There really should be better options, but it's where this country is currently at, where some home chemistry is something people would have to consider. You're right, it's dangerous and certainly has a lot of risks. With some background in it myself and access to resources that the general public doesn't have, I would still be hesitant to try something I'd cooked up in the basement at home. But, I'm also not at the point where I'm going to die from a treatable but unaffordable disease.

    ‘Right to Repair for Your Body’: The Rise of DIY, Pirated Medicine
  • I'm a quality chemist. I test the API's that process chemists make to be sure they're right. Yeah, reactions don't always proceed as intended. These guys do understand the risks, and are only trying to provide an option. Here in the US the insurance companies are perfectly willing to let us die because funding expensive treatment hurts their bottom line. Unless you're independently wealthy, a small scale reactor at home may become the only option a person has available. Definitely risky, but why not take the chance when corporate America has determined you're not valuable enough to save?

    Why does my forehead do this? I am 28! (I know I shouldn't pick at it also). How to make it stop? Or be healthy?
  • Had cystic acne most of my life. Got diagnosed with celiac's disease, cut gluten out of my diet, and the acne pretty much stopped. Not saying that's it's the solution here, but my dermatologist had said years earlier that I likely had some other undiscovered, underlying issue. There are a lot of allergies and immune disorders that may be connected.

    Weird Aldi Pizza
  • I saw this at our local Aldi when I was there last weekend. If it were a GF crust, I would have tried it out.

  • I forgot about the boil in bag meals. Mom didn't buy them too often, but we always had a stack of the frozen dinners around. A latchkey kid staple meal.

    Swanson's TV Dinner advertisement - 1961
  • I ate a lot of those chicken dinners as a kid. On a floral plastic TV tray in front of the television. Usually with a glass of milk in a Tupperware cup (came as a set of four cups with red, yellow, blue, and green ones).

  • Starch foam peanuts. They'll just dissolve after you eat them, leaving the same hollow void inside you along with the addition of feeling cheated.

    Abiotic Factor: Crush Depth - Summer Update 0.9.0
  • I was really enjoying this game for a couple weeks, and plan to go back to it after it gets a few updates. Just started to get Ground Hog's Day fatigue after a while. The same critters keep spawning in the same places, over and over again. Gets tedious after a while. Had the same problem playing Small Land. Love the exploring and all, but monotonous critter spawns. Hoping they'll implement some randomness once they develop the game more.

  • I love that having a 3d printer means you can create custom parts when you need them. I wanted a set of leveling brackets for a router table insert. Sketched up something in Solid Edge, sent it to the printer and a few hours later I have what I need. Nothing complex but functional. Used PETG on this set. ! !

    www.bbc.com Armed robbers' car stolen during Colorado heist, police say

    Three masked gunmen attempted to rob a Colorado business. Their escape plans were quickly spoiled.

    Probably the one thing they didn't plan on going wrong.

    I was looking at the settings for Connect, hit "Save Settings" before closing, and now some of my phone's default colors have changed. I have lime green and mint for random text in different applications. Using a Google Pixel 7 Pro. Anyone else notice this?
