There’s a novella that toys with the concept of an endless, flat world https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/a6f9dcca-1b82-45dd-ba41-70b313e4c642

Knocking is usually reads (from the header seeking), brrr is heavy writes.

Counter-argument: If AI code was good, the owners would create official accounts to create contributions to open source, because they would be openly demonstrating how well it does. Instead all we have is Microsoft employees being forced to use and fight with Copilot on GitHub, publicly demonstrating how terrible AI is at writing code unsupervised.

Controversial take (for this community): Electric personal vehicles were the catalyst for the electrification of commercial vehicles. So while it doesn’t address the problem of car-centric infrastructure, EVs have had a net positive impact on the environment by converting fleet vehicles to less polluting options as well as taking diesel trucks off the road.

Freaky Tales doesn’t buckle that trend either. He’s a great villain!

Do you know the main function of freshmen courses? It’s to make sure that every student has the same base knowledge before going into sophomore level courses. It’s giving the students from shitty high school backgrounds an opportunity to catch up with those from private schooling and those from school boards that didn’t provide sufficient challenges. These courses don’t need a higher teacher to student ratio, they just need students to pay attention to the lectures and talk to the TA if they’re stuck.

I don’t know how you extrapolate “no emphasis on learning” from “large classes”. The classes are large because they can afford to be large. They teach introductory courses, and their goal is to even out the baseline before the students go into sophomore courses. Freshmen come from many different education systems - private vs public, local vs out of state/province/country, fresh out of school vs returning to education after working, etc. This is also why these courses can be graded with standardized testing, because they set the standard themselves.

That may work in senior courses, but a freshman class with hundreds of students needs standardized tests.

Not to mention the loss of revenue from tourism.

Lego Star Wars are quite bad for motion sickness, I find.

Such devices exist, namely stars. Neutron stars are theorized to have neutronium at their core, essentially a soup of neutrons so densely packed that nothing else fits between them - in order words, the densest theoretical material (osmium is the densest material found on Earth).

2D: Survivors/Bullet Heaven type games. Most are WASD to move, mouse to aim (if at all).

3D: Vampire Hunters. Since it auto shoots the focus is on movement: strafing, aiming, and avoiding getting hit by mobs. Dying early is expected, so no pressure on getting a perfect run.

I want room service!

Does Big Trouble in Little China count?

Otherwise, and in no particular order:

• UHF
• Six String Samurai
• Hudson Hawk
• Repo Man
• Hobo with a Shotgun
• The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th Dimension
• Death Race
• Dead Alive
• WolfCop

Yeah, and it sucks that plants can be patented. Monsanto in particular can go die in a fire.

NAL, but as it was explained to me by a lawyer: Part of a patent remaining valid is demonstrating that they put consistent effort into enforcing it. Nintendo not having filed suit against the other companies (if the games are indeed found to be violating the same patent) lays groundwork for invalidation. This is for example the reason Pepsico sued farmers in India for cultivating their patented potato - not because it would harm their business, but because it would harm the validity of their patent if they didn’t.
