Needs ‘Rise of the Robots’ the super hyped fighting game. The graphics looked amazing for the time, the characters were meticulously rendered in 3d studio. On release it bombed spectacularly because the gameplay just sucked, due to the constraints imposed by trying to achieve the fancy graphics. It was held up as an example of an overhyped game for years.

The NIN sound track is worth a listen. Otherwise apparently, no.

Just picked this up in the Steam sale, looking forward to diving into it as the nights draw in.

One of the principal justifications for George Osborne’s 2010 austerity plans turned out to be erroneous thanks to an Excel error.

That was without any help from AI, things could be about to get much worse.

Pip is the Python package manager styled to look like npm the Node package manager

ReactJs is styled to look like AngularJS

The crab is the Go gopher styled to look like the Rust crab.

This has ‘Late Late Breakfast Show’ vibes. Those around in the 80’s in the UK will probably remember the Noel Edmond’s variety show, a precursor to Noel’s House Party. They had members of the public do stunts. There were regular concerns about safety and eventually someone died.

I don’t understand the point of this. The govt is only just now rolling out Gov.UK ‘One Login’ with identity verification across its services. That should be enough for what government needs, this is just overreach.

At this point ordering from AliExpreas is a better experience than Amazon.

These are such a good idea. It works by having a heater behind the mirror which prevents the condensation.

Ps. Excuse the multiple posts. fedia.io was having a moment. I’ve deleted them now

the milk from the milk rounds

This wasn’t raw milk. It was still pasteurised. Just not homogenised.

Homogenisation mixes the fat in the milk more effectively so you don’t get separation in the milk which increases its shelf life. Your memories of the tasty milk were probably the creamy part at the top of unshaken pasteurised but not homogenised milk.
