I'll echo the sentiments of others in that darkly compact is a very welcome theme option. I think I'm mostly just happy to see a theme that isn't some mobile first trash.

For years I thought Raspberry Beret by Prince was actually Raspberry Parade. I had only ever heard the song through tinny garbage store speakers so forget about hearing the verses of the song. All I knew was that there was this wacked out chick that held a raspberry parade she had found in a second hand store that may have been acquired by coming in through the out door.

I just chalked it up to goofy 80s lyrics.

A lot of the users on here just lurk and don't participate in discussions. That's how you get a community with 10 or 20 subscribers and only a couple of active members that actually contribute.

I get why he stuck with the less than inspired newer textures. From a plain old boring business perspective you want the game to look consistent with other let's players so that their viewers won't find your channel as jarring and make it easier for them to stick around.

Would a mix and match even work? Modern Minecraft is all soft and blurry compared to the rougher more jagged look where Notch picked a colour and hit the noise button a dozen times in gimp.

Is the current makeup of city council one that can work well with Chow? I don't follow local Toronto politics to closely.

Doing some searching online it seems the claim normally made is that all steel rivets wouldn't have prevented the sinking but could have slowed it enough to allow more passengers to be rescued.

To provide a bit more context lower grade iron rivets were used because of supply shortages at the time. Higher quality steel rivets were still used for the midsection of the boat with iron rivets being used on the ends.

I'm just going to chime in to note that I'll be blocking this community. I'm simply not interested in having a community entirely reliant on a bot to generate the illusion of activity in my feed.

Nice to see SimCity 3000 on there. I know 4 is more feature complete. Especially with all the mods available for it. But there's a certain atmosphere to 3000 that I just enjoy more.

Fun fact SimCity 3000 wasn't even playable for a few years because the DRM was so invasive that Windows blocked it as a security threat.

Most of the fight against the province is currently going on at the municipal level.

To use one example. Despite the blatant short term profit seeking legislated in the More Homes Built Faster act it may have the unintended consequence of forcing denser more efficient neighborhoods that aren't a sinkhole on local budgets. Not Just Bikes over on Youtube has a quick introduction to the issue here. Local governments, notably Brampton and Mississauga would temporarily balance the books with the collection of developer fees creating a subdivision ponzi scheme that worked as long as you still had future land to develop on. This legislation completely breaks that cycle and now everyone in those cities is going to feel the hurt for a bit while property taxes are jacked up to better reflect the real cost of low density sprawl. The new realities, as well as public consultation will shape how development works going forward. It's easier than you'd think to get involved in that process and can largely be accomplished purely through online feedback. I'll admit your experience will vary from one local government to another.

Personally I was involved in helping conduct an inventory of historical buildings in my local area also in response to the More Homes Built Faster act. It didn't get a lot of traction in the news but the act also gutted the Ontario Heritage Act leaving local governments scrambling to document and designate notable historical structures before they're stripped of protection and left to the mercy of developers.

It's Lecce. Don't expect anything resembling reality outta that guy.

As for cursive itself the only positives I've seen mentioned in research and in anecdotal conversations is that physically writing information down helps with memory retention as opposed to typing it out on a keyboard. Although I'd imagine the same could be said about simply printing it out by hand.

It'll be interesting to see what style they introduce in this new curriculum. Looking at examples online my style fits mostly with the Zaner-Bloser method.

Nice. I know most here are used to how Reddit structures their content, or are on the federation bandwagon. Personally I'm just happy to see the internet get a little more decentralized.

On a related note I should set up and play around with some old school forum software. It's been a few years since I've looked at it.

The big draw for him might be Minetests moddability. All of a games content is in .lua files and it can be modified with just a basic text editor. An easy thing to do would be to change the mining time of a pickaxe or change the number of planks you get from a wood block. If he really gets into it, it's possible to create a game from the ground up without relying on the base Minetest Game.

Best bet would be to set him up with the Minecraft clone game. This can be done by going to the Content tab in the menu. Select Browse Online Content. On the second page is Mineclone2.

That Skyfactory series is probably the most rewatchable one.

I'd also give a nod to Project Ozone 2. Half the fun of that one is watching Etho trying to manage buggy or outright broken garbage mods.

Could you explain what egg hatching is? Sorry I'm not part of the trans community.

I think making a change in attitude towards constructive criticism would be much more healthy for the poster and for overall discussion in the community. It opens up debate and becomes a driver for engagement.

I certainty disagree that our situation is hopeless. We're clearly seeing a decline in the standard of living we used to take for granted without much thought. There are major challenges that will require reform, but that reform will never happen with a disengaged and despairing electorate.

Kind of. Keep in mind this era travel is by horse, horse and wagon, or more commonly simply on foot. Travel time is measured in days so it's important to know where inns are and which roads are considered decent. Decent meaning not being an absolute mudhole. That's why the map has so many little notes.

I'd be happy to see a more positive attitude in this community than what's seen in the regional subs over on Reddit. All doom and glom gets pretty tiring over time.

Technically yes but then you'd be a pedantic little shit for insisting so.

I'm used to seeing her make period jokes. My first read of it was that her uterus was punishing her for eternity, or until menopause.

I'm a big fan of Dokuwiki. I use it to document and plan out my various hobbies and interests. Also listing future large projects and purchases. Installation is very simple.

I've also got Wordpress going as a home digital cookbook.

CSS isn't for nerds. Nerds are smart.

Seriously it took them like 20 years to reimplement table based layouts in the form of grid. In between we were stuck playing the devils Tetris stacking boxes on top of each other and trying to float all that garbage to produce janky, buggy layouts that would crumble apart when resized.

Certainly blows my collection of old junk out of the water.

Has running Stable Diffusion had a big impact on the other stuff running? I'm thinking the Minecraft servers in particular.

There's a new one over here that's for Minecraft and Minetest. I'll start posting on it for the Minetest stuff.

I'm guessing the tankies are using Minecraft for fantasy political roleplay?

They've made a lot of great changes and additions over time. The new lighting being a very welcome addition. I've been checking in on progress once in awhile but haven't played in ages.

Nice to see they've got the wiki page back. I remember back when it was marked for deletion for being non notable.

Just because they're currently out of the 24hr news cycle doesn't mean they've disappeared or don't have an influence on current events. Actually I think half of them still regularly are the subject of articles. We still regularly see news stories regarding Taliban mismanagement of Afghanistan. Saudi financing of extremists and old prince bonesaw's antics have definitely had an impact on relations with other nations and is likely the reason for their reconciliation with Iran recently. I think I just read an article last week about deforestation in Brazil. Same with stories about microplastics and ongoing research into that.

This picture is just an argument out of ignorance. Hardly surprising since it's just some feels guy cancer.

Props to the Odyssey Shooting Galley for making their gun look like an actual gun. None of that kiddie crap here.

In this case I think either the author can't explain their position because it's unacceptable and indefensible or they simply lack the critical thinking skills needed to fully explain their position. It's likely a mix of both.

Keep in mind that this being a much smaller site your voice and opinion does have an impact. Your posts and votes will influence the culture of this site. Put in the effort to shape it into how you'd like it to be.

Funny the author is furious but can't articulate why. I'm not even sure what she is alluding to in regards to safety. Bathroom orgies? Poop knife fights? Tampon toss competitions?

Unisex bathrooms make sense from a practical and rational perspective. However we don't always live in a rational thinking world.

How's the height?

It might just be the angle of the image but it looks a bit on the low side for my aging back.
