It might be my admittedly limited genre of reading, but the first long earth book does this for me. Most of the adventure is just stepping through hundred of varying types of earth, most unpopulated, and exploring to see what is out there.

There's more to the book than that, but those are my favorite sections.

It's written by Pratchett and Baxter and although not without its faults, the first one is still a fun read for me.

"Their protests are the only ones that consistently get headlines and they make a point that nothing they do is permanent or a public danger."

No public danger?

Like when they blocked a roadway and kept an ambulance from moving a patient? Or when one of their protests caused enough traffic to delay a responding ambulance resulting in 2 deaths?

Or just in general figuring the best way to get across their message is to sit in a roadway.

Looks like the post got removed. It says it cannot be displayed.

The link was working earlier as I used it to report the post for harassment :)

I use a little dedicated wifi AP that I picked up for maybe $30. It's a travel router so it's tiny and powered by USB. I looked it up and it's a TP Link AC750.

It doesn't need to be a big buck nasty router when I only use it for one device and hard wire it to my host PC.

There are still hiccups, but I can go hours between hiccups in a good session.

I just find it weirder it took so long for him to mention the name. Usually he speeds right to the point.

Fellow Q3 user, I just use steam link on the quest itself. It runs better than Meta's implementation and I can go full wireless.

I've also got a cheap 5ghz AP connected to my computer to serve the quest. Performance is great. Boot up the quest, connect to AP, launch steam link. It very rarely goes wrong and I do 99% of my quest use in steam link.

Mark Trail is the comic btw

Anthropomorphism is attributing human traits to non-humans. Maybe the axolotl has the human trait of being just fine on land. That's why both are sitting like humans.

There, I fixed it for you. You can now enjoy the comic.

I like how you had to dive into those specifics to see this was unrealistic, and both of them speaking and understanding English is completely looked over.

Talking animals? Fine! But damned if two from different habits are hanging out! Suspension of disbelief broken!

I mean, there are plenty of warnings and advice on how to do things like hike through bear or cougar country. Someone who gets mauled trying to pet a bear cub isn't going to get much sympathy.

I'm lucky enough to be working with rather than for, but it does mean interacting with their crappy programs and work culture. Going back to using teams is a relief.

DIY juice is easy to make and takes very little experience. Recipes are available online and you mix by weight. It does take some safety precautions as nicotine concentrate is very poisonous, but if you don't want nic all you need is PG, VG, and flavoring.

I started DIYing years ago and never looked back. The only large initial cost is the nicotine, which you buy in concentrate, but the overall cost when you make your juice is cheap as hell. The rate I go through it I have decades of nicotine and my cost per ml is ~6 cents. Most of that cost is the nicotine.

Teams is bad until you have to use Amazon chime and work docs.

We explode them, they explode us. Oh also they enslave captured humans or just outright eat them.

Neal Asher's Praedor Moon is a fun read if you want to see what advanced humans would do against space faring crabs.

Or just use a gasket like subaru's did/do. I had frameless doors in ~2000 with no electronics required.

Remember when he said computer security was easy because you just had to make your computer unhackable?

Clients looking to rent data center space still like to see pretty spaces in their giant concrete boxes. So on a campus there is usually one of the builds that has something prettier for the front admin section.

But square footage is money, so it's much smaller.

They actually go for LEED certification for their spaces a lot of times. So they get an energy efficiency badge for a building that uses the total power of a ~3500 homes (in the builds I have seen) 24/7/365.

Only for the front seats, and on something like the Y not all models even have manual releases in the back. The ones that do have them covered with a mat and no indication where they are.

On the model Y you need to removal a speaker grill to manually release the doors in the back.

Dyson sphere program is another one I play when I'm not quite feeling Factorio.
