Played a good bit of this last night. Not bad.

Reminds me of Terra Nil, which honestly I prefer— but this is good in its own way.

The left hand of darkness (Ursula K. Leguin) is my current personal read.

Pawn of prophecy (David Eddings) I am reading for a book club (last read approx. 30 years ago)

Not true. Grocery pickup means I give zero shits about the layout.

Eh that’s not specific to fedex. Mostly seems to be regional; all the carriers do that shit somewhere

a racist stereotype of a white person

They did, he is clearly identifiable as Trump.

…Oh, you didn’t say “a stereotype of a racist white person”

It’s the same thing… that “sinister Arab” is the foreign government buying influence, at least in the context of this plane.

It’s not really complicated, it’s just that companies want to find (or make!) loopholes to shirk their responsibilities.

Yep. Or maybe closer to the top 10-25% based on this articles like this:

Go go gadget defeatism.

We should do nothing because we’re doomed. Better waste everything we can to accelerate it!

I don’t disagree with that.

My opinion is that the top consumers need to cut down and likely more importantly this insane push for “the economy” to be wasting resources churning away and accomplishing nothing of substance. That’s the part that needs to end.

Along with the obsession with having more and more and more babies which will grow to consume even more resources.

Guess we all die then. :shrug:

Not really. Eternal growth is a dumb idea until and unless we can go interplanetary.

Need to find a stable equilibrium for the long haul.

With this president it absolutely does make sense.

Is this just a digital version of the board game or is it a tycoon game with the same concept?

Edit: it’s just the digital version of the board game.

We’re not allowed to talk about the things that would remove him from power, except very very obliquely.

Just USian things.

Thanks, I hate it! (Edit: just the theme/concept, not the game)

I still have a 4100 or maybe a 4200 (one or two revisions up from the one in the pic) that works just fine although it could use a new fuser that I don’t want to spend the money on. The HP laserjets of that era were absolute bulletproof monsters.

If I remember right the passenger compartments were safe though. Which is of course a little strange.

Yes. You could use vlc or even as an iso file just open them as a virtual drive.
