The guy behind Wing Commander (and my favorite game of all time, Privateer) has a mission based space flight game out next year. You can see the first hour of gameplay here: https://youtu.be/1H-0x4xk2Xk

Keep in mind, cutscenes are in-engine not pre-rendered.

My eyes are burned into my head due to someone using a pie chart on these data...

As a person who grows a few Venus flytraps, the traps exude a sweet nectar along the inner upper edge. Flies another insects are attracted to that, and the color red, eat some nectar, hit the trigger hairs, the leaves snap shut in a few microseconds, and they are trapped. They're struggles after that are necessary for the leaf to fully close and form the hermetic stomach for digestion.

They're eating the doges!

Great idea! We are lucky in that we go hunting trees on my mom's property, which really needs to be thinned out for fire mitigation. They don't look like lot trees- they have more character so each year's tree is unique.

Wing Commander, Privateer, and Strike Commander for me.

Had a print of this in my house growing up. It looks like my dad.

Proud to say that in Colorado, ranked choice voting is on the ballot this year! It's even supported by the big political names here, including the governor.

Which is why I am happy to be a metallurgical engineer who can blacksmith...

Silly, now you've broken the law in Florida because you've talked about climate change. That and signing petitions will get you a visit from the police! Totally normal state governmental functions.

Internal emails highlight how an advertising company can use its in-house resources to oppose public policy proposals.

One of the world’s largest advertising firms is crafting a campaign to thwart a California bill intended to enhance people’s control over the data that companies collect on them.

According to emails obtained by POLITICO, the Interpublic Group is coordinating an effort against a bill that would make it easier for people to request that data brokers — firms that collect and sell personal information — delete their dossiers.

 

US District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that she plans to put serious limits over how sensitive evidence is handled in the Donald Trump 2020 election interference case, in a dramatic hearing Friday in Washington, DC, that could set the tone for the upcoming trial.

The former president has a right to free speech, but that right is “not absolute,” Chutkan said. “Mr. Trump, like every American, has a First Amendment right to free speech, but that right is not absolute. In a criminal case such as this one, the defendant’s free speech is subject to the rules.”

 

I can't figure it out.
