How did it take them 80 years to find a bomb in a back yard? Is it a large yard? Was the bomb buried?

Cisco might have something to say about that name.

“The way our policies, procedures [and] training have been designed and implemented for many years have not had the voices of black people involved in the design, the implementation, of those practices. And as a consequence of that, we get disproportionate outcomes in places where there shouldn’t be disproportionate outcomes.

I was curious about specific examples of institutional racism so I started scouring the main report: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5802/cmselect/cmhaff/139/13911.htm

I didn’t dig very deep yet, but so far I found that the forces had been trying to train away individual unconscious biases in response to the Macpherson report, and watered down the process in favor of other priorities. (See paragraphs 505 and 506).

Are there at least two front facing cameras for depth perception?

My guess is that some genres are going to be more problematic due to more extensive use of anti cheat. What are some of the games you’re having trouble with?

Well… if you want most of the main story but without the gameplay, someone had made a movie out of the cutscenes awhile back.

I ended up quitting on the final boss. Partly because I was gut punched by an unexpected plot point just prior. But also because it was the third big fight since the last save point and I got lost on the mechanics. I caught the ending through the movie I found.

Also, the other good Ion Storm game, Anachronox.

I haven’t played it in 20 years and still remember some great moments.

Well I guess these aren’t sex stones.

What is a sex stone, you may ask?

It’s a fucking rock.

Wyatt was pulled to safety by a team from the Grand Canyon National Park, who rappelled down a cliff after deciding a helicopter rescue would not be possible due to the terrain.

If this were a plot point in a movie, I would have called it a contrived excuse to have the heroes scale a rock wall.

Obligatory xkcd

I get the reasoning for excluding wine and beer, but flour?

Idle games or incremental games are my go-to for casual play. At the moment I’m playing through NGU Idle mainly because It’s a super slow burn but unlocks lots of goofy features over time. I’ve been progressing for a couple years now.

The video is TL;DW for me right now, but there’s a comment on the video which is fascinating enough on its own to pique my interest:

Back in 1997, a nasty October storm knocked down some power lines near my home. One of our dogs ended up getting her back legs paralyzed after going outside and had to be put down. We thought she stepped on a downed line, but after seeing your demonstration with the Hulk Hogan figure, I think I have a better understanding of what happened. Just going near the downed line would have been enough to do the damage.

Well… at least no one was hurt.

If I remember correctly, there’s already a system tray icon that lets you adjust volume on your current devices. The extension adds the ability to switch devices from that drop down instead of drilling into the settings app.

I feel like vanilla GNOME is intentionally a barbones common workflow, and that extensions are how you customize to fit your needs.

For example, I often switch between desktop speakers and headphones (where the dongle is always connected), and sometimes other audio devices. I installed the sound input/output chooser so I don’t have to go into Settings every time I need to switch inputs. It saves me multiple clicks. But I get that not everyone needs immediate access to change audio devices, so why clutter the UI?

I’ve used both vanilla GNOME and the post-Unity Ubuntu spin on it. In either case I’ve grown accustomed to the Activities screen, quickly accessing it pressing the Super key, and using it to switch windows and manage full screen apps on different monitors.

I see no reason why they couldn’t. There’s even built-in support for bots in the user settings, at least in Lemmy.

Like on Reddit, it will take some moderation to keep the more malicious bots under control in the Fediverse.

If the size of the PR is a concern, maybe the maintainers will allow a staged approach. Create an Issue describing the feature and indicate step by step how you would implement. Then break the work into multiple pull requests.

If necessary, you could introduce a toggle that’s switched off by default until the feature is fully implemented.

Maybe there never was a cake.
