It's because she went to another school.

But... did you pay £2.50 for it?

How does this have so many upvotes in a science-based community? Behind everything that destroys the ecosystem it is big faceless corporations, not individual people wanting to make profit. This is like accusing your local pharmacy employee of hiking cost of medicines.

Yes, the character is definitely doing Tai Chi in the movie, as far as I remember when I saw it last.

OK, what is that thing on the left? Instant single packaged pickle? Never seen this before.

Yep, that was the big wave. Even though my third party app kept working with a custom API key for a long time, I made the full switch after a year or so. Not that I used reddit much during that time. Since then only stumble upon reddit in web searches.

I love those lists of banned books. Shows you exactly what is worth reading.

Don't love that they are actually banned though.

I thought this is about that old game Judgement Day, so they made a new one, huh?

Modeling at Shutterstock. Nice touch.

I think it is more of a hill than a goalpost.

Sorry, what? Even if you get rid of all plastic tomorrow and stop leaking of microplastics into every part of your life, you will still carry those particles with you. Basically forever.

So yeah, of course we need to address the root of the problem, but also we need therapies like this, cleaning out what is already in the body.

 

Just got Ogu and the Secret Forest free via the epic games giveaway. And while it is rated gold on proton and verified for Steam Deck I cannot get it to run properly.

Installed it va Heroic launcher, I can start it but as soon as I start a game it keeps freezing on the loading screen. Left it running for a while, nothing happens. I use Proton experimental for that. But switching Proton didn't help. I switched to older ones mentioned on ProtonDB, then it just does not start.

Also tried installation with Lutris, doesn't even start. Anyone who got it running successfully from the Epic games store?

 

Edit: found the solution. It wasn't haptics settings for the trackpad, but haptics settings for the left stick that needed to be switched off.


I got an issue I just cannot wrap my head around. I got Dark Forces via Steam, the original version. I downloaded the most popular controller layout for Steamdeck, however it is really annoying to use since for some reasons when I move around using the left stick, the left trackpad starts vibrating as if I move via that.

This is not a hardware issue, I play plenty of games that use the left stick, which other than Dark Forces never leads to the left trackpad vibrating. Also I found a different controller layout that I liked for Dark Forces, where this issue isn't happening.

Now why do I still bring it up. I hear of the Force Engine project that modernised Dark Forces quite a bit. Required some tinkering, but got it working on the Steamdeck. Managed to copy over my layout from original Dark Forces. Again, left trackpad vibrating when left stick is moved.

What setting do I need to try to get rid of this? I tried removing any mapping from the trackpad, this didn't help. I found buried in some submenus a setting that was called haptics, I also switched that off. No change. It is really annoying and I just want to know which setting is causing this.

I tried searching online, but all I am getting is people saying it's a hardware issue. Hope you agree, in my case it is not.

 

Er habe sich innerlich immer dagegen gewehrt, aus der Mitte des Bundestages heraus Verbotsverfahren zu betreiben. "Das riecht mir zu sehr nach politischer Konkurrentenbeseitigung", so Merz.

Maske weg-Moment. Merz gibt zu dass CDU und AfD direkt politisch konkurrieren. Bin mir sicher wie er es eigentlich gemeint hat, aber die Formulierung ist trotzdem interessant.

 

I've recently gotten a lot of my childhood Lego from parents place to mine and am looking for a good way to sell them.

What I have is just a lot of smaller/medium sized sets from the 80s or 90s. I think most of them should be complete but I need to dig through bags and put them together, so it will take a bit of time to know.

With complete I mean having all parts, nothing broken or missing, including instructions. I only have a few original boxes left though, so its mostly bricks and instructions.

I am not in a hurry to sell, but I'd like to get back my storage space that this is occupying. One note is that I live in Northern Europe, shipping cost in my country is pretty high, especially for tracked packages, not sure this could be a factor to reduce my chances of selling stuff at decent price.

Any input/suggestions for this would be appreciated!

 
 

Just have to share this here because of how unbelievably tone-deaf it is.

I have an upcoming flight with Lufthansa, booked cheapest economy class. Now I get a mail that says I am eligible for an upgrade.

Correction, I am eligible to make an offer to maybe maybe get an upgrade. When I click that link I get to the page above in the screenshot where I can now choose an amount between 90 and 300-ish EUR per passenger, per flight, to maybe upgrade to business class.

Just look at the slider, it is almost hilarious that it says poor when you leave it at the low amounts. Is any other airline doing that?
