That is an urban legend, Paul Fisher invented the pen which can write in space or underwater, without any government funding then sold it to NASA. The lauded cheap pencil is a fire hazard from wood shavings and the graphite dust floating in zero G can ruin equipment, which is why the Russians bought several of those pens about 5 years after NASA put them into use.

Ferengi Firefighters, coming to a town near you!

Intel was lauded for this same thing in the early 2000s at the fab I worked at, since ultrapure water (literal H2O) was required to rinse the chip wafers the water going out was cleaner than going in.

I’m still not entirely sure why these data centers require such massive amounts of water when we’ve been running heat exchange loops in nuclear plants for decades.

I’ve been a 49ers fan for more than 30 years, thanks to these assholes now a white guy in a red hat is immediately suspect. I tend to wear the white one with red accents more often just so folks don’t get the wrong idea.

Same with dirt bikes and ATVs. Rolled a few and there’s always a point on that too steep hill where you feel the shift and realize oh no, gravity will be making all of the decisions from here on out and I’m just a spectator. I don’t ride nearly as recklessly as I used to.

More than triple the next largest game. All I want is the zombies mode and space to install other games, I could probably cull 80% of the COD suite and be just fine, but I have to carry the whole bag to reach in 🤷‍♂️

I haven’t played much since my curved monitor got broken but between Stellaris and Rimworld I don’t know if there’s enough time in a day for another build queue. I’ll check it out at some point and fall into the rabbit hole I’m sure.

Requires an additional 45 clear to accommodate the update file and is currently sitting at 196.5. Deleting Hitman and queuing it up after the update is simple enough technically for someone like me with a wired high speed connection and no data cap, but still a pain in the ass and way too big for a single game.

Agreed, it’s getting out of control. The most annoying thing is I’m not interested in PvP, just zombies, so probably 80% of that is all just bloat on my hard drive.

Thanks I’ll check it out. The gf and I like to shoot zombies but were it not part of PS Plus I surely wouldn’t give them $70. I’ve been playing a lot of Balatro recently, poker roguelike from a sole developer with simple graphics but very fun special powers

Black ops 6 just demanded another 45 GB for an update on my PS5, when the game is already 200 GB. AAA devs are making me look more into small indie games that don’t eat the whole hard drive to spend my money on, great job folks.

E) meant to say instead of buying a bigger hard drive I’ll support a small dev instead.

Good hunting, I assume they know the location of more than one dacha belonging to Vlad

I learned about VPNs and torrenting thanks to corporations like EA releasing trash with a price tag on it, suppose I’ll start reading up on low voltage security systems so I can build my own, thanks for the tinkering idea fascists 👍

Can confirm, also a human and never caused a car crash

Like the Washington Football Team or Utah Hockey Club, we’re just waiting for the focus group data to refine the name

Canals can be useful for this as well, Lowell MA used to have a huge industry all on waterfronts

In that case AWD and ABS are more important than curb weight.

The biggest flex we (US) could do is pouring money into NASA and grabbing asteroids.

They do it to their own dogs all the time

military-themed movies turning off more leftist moviegoers? I feel that way to some extent

Maybe but not because I’m liberal, because we’re shit. The fact that “The Covenant” exists is FUCKING INFURIATING to me. I signed up to put my ass on the line, knowing any flight out of CONUS had a return ticket. We not only told the terps we’d take them to the American dream but made them put their lives on the line…then flew away and made a fucking movie about how it’s too bad they’re all stuck in the suck.
