Technology connections did a video on it. Basically the lights which lasted forever either; sucked at giving light and/or sucked at sucking power.
Light manufacturers got together and made a standard which was a sweet spot of power efficiency, longevity and light output. Unfortunately, being decent at all three meant no longer sucking at two to boost longevity.
I’m currently going through a pretty bad divorce where my wife cheated on me, drained my accounts, lawyered up and send a letter demanding $280,000 and isn’t signing documents or responding to her legal council.
I’d love to get it all finalised and end that chapter of my life but realistically I can’t force her to do anything. I can’t make her sign documents, I can’t make her talk to her lawyer. So ultimately it is what it is.
Frankly, that saying has (since our separation) become an anthem to me. I can understand why you’d think it’s defeatism etc if it’s someone speaking of something they can legitimately do something about but truely sometimes it really is what it is.
Can’t forget rule 4!
DID I HEAR ROCK & STONE?!
The factory must grow!
Thanks for sharing that! That’s a really good explanation for what’s causing it. I’d heard a few different parts to why it’s happening but that post makes it really understandable.
I still have my pledge to SC, ~$25 so not a big one, but I’ve all but lost hope on a release of the full scope of the game as it was set out years ago thanks to the massive amount of feature creep and mismanagement.
Then 99% of those were created on Lemmy.world,
The instance I’m a part of has had issues federating with Lemmy.world for a lot of months now and it sucks because that’s where a large part of the community congregated and so it’s where a lot of content exists.
…legislation that would force women seeking an abortion after 27 weeks and six days – an extremely rare occurrence – to be induced, to deliver the child alive.
Emphasis mine.
That’s 10 weeks early. I’m far from an expert but that’s extremely premature, right? Like, that baby is going to be in a very precarious place for a significant amount of time, yeah?
Again, I’m far from an expert but that seems horrible for literally everyone involved, especially the child! Possibly leading to lifelong health and developmental issues.
[Ben Hood] has previously said that, once born, if the baby “isn’t compatible with life”, it would then be given palliative care.
Takes “born to die” to the extreme.
One reason why I was aiming for a white car for my most recent purchase didn’t even get a mention; heat.
My family has always primarily owned coloured cars, dark blue and maroon, but I went from owning a black car to a white one and the cabin temp difference on a 30+°C day was staggering with the white car being much more tolerable.
They’re rebranding to Halo Studios and switching from an in-house engine to Unreal Engine for all future games.
Thanks! I was too lazy to search but curious enough to go to the comments.
Adding to this; Steam provides a hub where players purchase, play and review games. Meaning that I find the reviews to be more genuine.
E.g. every time I hear about a game that reviews decently well getting “review bombed” on Steam it’s because the company, usually the publisher, is fucking over the players in some way. Something that is well reported by players who can leave a product review on the same platform they purchased and played on.
So I wait for Steam release for reviews (on top of it being my preferred platform).
Really digging these new enemies! I wasn’t even interested in the expansion until they released the fff of the walkers and this one is no different in hyping me up!
Imagine getting 2000-ish people to work on a project for 6 years just to fart out a hero shooter who’s main claim to fame is being dead on arrival.
It’s how new Lemmings are born.
Well, that’s concerning.
Not me but: “I was showing the new system to anons father. Have more luck teaching a rock how to float.”
