Insurgency : Sandstorm

I think it requires steam but iirc there are community servers so maybe there are non-vac servers (which shouldn’t require steam)

You had me at Nexus 5. My favorite smartphone out of the 5 I’ve owned

Because I estimated that my time was better spent doing something other than trying to guess what robot this comic is referencing and researching a decent source explaining how that robot actually works and risking being wrong anyway because what the fuck do I know about robots and marine biology

Also, correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t these robots about getting garbage out of the water ? Sure they might pick up some organisms but I assume the vast majority of the ones big enough to actually get picked up can easily escape, and the smaller ones just pass whatever filters it has and get thrown out with the water

Part of the problem is simply defining ultra-processed foods.
The new CDC report used the most common definition based on the four-tier Nova system developed by Brazilian researchers that classifies foods according to the amount of processing they undergo. Such foods tend to be “hyperpalatable, energy-dense, low in dietary fiber and contain little or no whole foods, while having high amounts of salt, sweeteners and unhealthy fats,” the CDC report said

Yeah from what I read about him, Bautista actually put in some serious work to be a decent actor

I figured that could be the reason, like with the various ways soldiers find to carry their rifles more comfortably, but I just don’t understand the physics of it here. Pulling on a backpack straps, I get, you are basically offloading the weight from your back and into your arms (and, as you said, bringing it higher to make it a little more comfortable to wear), but here it looks like it would just strain your neck and possibly your back even more since there are plates on both sides (which I assume is the heaviest, most “problematic” parts of the vest regarding comfort).

Guess I need to wear some body armor to understand it, physics and biomechanics do be weird sometimes.

Also, yes, but it is ridiculous how they seemingly can’t stand up for 5 seconds without striking that pose. Or cowboy-style hands on the belt holster, etc.

I swear these guys (and a lot of police/military too) just take these jobs so they can wear a bulletproof jacket and do that pose in the article pic to “look cool” and make their arms look bigger

Thought so too (damn I read that a long time ago now) but apparently it was Oceania. Which the UK was actually a part of in-universe.

I basically never boot into windows except to play these anti cheat games with friends anyway, so I’ll just bite the bullet and deal with rebooting twice just to change OS to play the beta, but yeah it’s a weird ass requirement especially since it is apparently quite easy to exploit some vulnerable signed drivers to inject shit into memory anyway.

Imo John Wick is definitely on the same levels as batman there. Dude has some reality-bending gadgets too and beyond human levels of training/endurance.

It’s not a windows issue, BF6 has a some requirements for their anti cheat including secure boot and TPM

Fuck, I’m gonna have to enable secure boot (and use windows) to play the BF6 open beta, am I gonna get the same buillshit ?

If it doesn’t affect my Linux drives I don’t care much tbh, I’ll probably just nuke windows and reinstall it

I did. That’s why I deleted it but I guess that didn’t federate to your instance as fast as my fuckup

In a way this is kind of true, but with math used everywhere it’s possible (so, pretty much everywhere) to avoid hard coding every single possible state. That’s how I try to explain it to people who don’t know much about programming

Have you ever noticed Ron Pearlman looks just like Hellboy too ?

Not sure whether that was intended by the comment in that screenshot but it’s a great detail either way

Eh, there are plenty of FOSS software that implement it just fine, but I know for a fact that the default image viewers of some major distros don’t

Us nerds aren’t in total control of the internet anymore, and the vast majority of non nerds value having as little friction as possible in their usage of the internet over not letting corpo fucks hold too much power
