41·3 days agoEveryone should have a short wave of some sort and a good portable antenna.
Do you mean a two-way radio, or just a receiver? Why?
Mine has saved my sanity a couple of times out in Nowhere, West Texas.
How?
Thank you for summarizing the key points.
Please be at least as good as the first one. <3
The OGs like Wolf3D and Doom did not even have mouse support for aiming until much later.
I don’t think this is true, at least not for the original PC Doom, but I don’t have a record of it handy. shrug
What shooters had you been playing that required using buttons to turn? I’m pretty sure Half-Life didn’t invent mouse look.
Peer review is for scientific papers, not lab results. If you have reason to question the lab that produced the results, then please share it.
You are mistaken. Heroic simply uses an affiliate link to generate money for the project.

I did call out data density in my first comment. Did you somehow miss that? Not all things that need storing are megabytes in size, though.
Why would you assume that paper means punch cards? Printers can store far more than a machine word on a page, are relatively cheap, and are widely available. For some things, this can be superior to both magnetic and flash storage.
191·11 days agoIMHO, two hours is not nearly enough to get a feel for a game. At least, not for the sorts of games I tend to play. I spend longer than that just working through initial technical issues, configuration, and (in games that have one) the character generator.
I have to conclude that Steam’s return window is either intended to be just enough to see if you can get it running, or as much as Valve could talk publishers into tolerating.
I was excluding media that are impractical for most people to use.
Strictly speaking, I think paper beats magnetic tape on longevity.
Unfortunately, it loses on data density.

Critics, however, see a more nefarious White House agenda – namely, gutting universities of what it sees as a liberal-left bias, while using antisemitism as a cudgel in an authoritarian power grab.
Seems to me that crying liberal bias is just a lie behind another a lie.
Education tends to counter authoritarianism/fascism.
From a Kirkland, Washington, USA health hazards sheet that I found in a quick search:
TIPS TO REDUCE EXPOSURES TO BISPHENOLS IN RECEIPTS:
- DO NOT compost or recycle receipts and other thermal paper. BPA & BPS residues from receipts will contaminate recycled paper.
- Minimize receipt collection by declining receipts at gas pumps, ATMs and other machines when possible.
- Never give a child a receipt to hold or play with.
- After handling a receipt, wash hands before preparing and eating food.
- Do not use alcohol-based hand cleaners after handling receipts. A recent study showed that these products can increase the skin’s BPA absorption.
- Take advantage of store services that email or archive paperless purchase records.
- Store receipts separately in an envelope in a wallet or purse.
HAZARDS FOUND IN LABORATORY TESTS INCLUDE:
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Early Puberty
- Cardiovascular system disorders
- Abnormal reproductive system development
- Hormone abnormalities in children
- Susceptibility to various cancers
- Resistance to chemotherapy
- Diminished intellectual capacity
I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
I don’t think jobs this hazardous are generally done by plumbers. Sending in a robot instead of a human makes sense.
Especially when the robot is better at finding faults before people’s homes collapse into a sinkhole.
