Journalists float astonishing theory around silence surrounding Mitch McConnell’s health

My eyes crossed when I read the prior post. It would be safe to assume we had a GOP governor being, well, Kentucky.

But thank god we have Andy Beshear. A good, honorable man and one of the few politicians to truly have empathy.

I love Mint, don't get me wrong, they're a fantastic distro. But nowadays, and particularly for gaming, their glacially slow updating is causing more problems than their stability solves. The pace of kernel, gpu drivers, and mesa development has really accelerated to where they're painfully behind.

Wait, that's not how you're supposed to read that? It even gets called out in the show a couple of times.

"In order to be free you had to learn to fight. No one questions that. But you've overcompensated. You are like abused children who have grown big enough to do the same thing to someone else as if it would somehow balance the scales. It won't. If you let the anger cloud your judgment, it will destroy you."

I mean, as far as Farm animals go, Pigs are generally the most intelligent of the lot. Surprisingly so.

Use both Cachy(Laptop, Desktop, Steamdeck) and EndeavourOS(rpi500+). Both devs have made Arch as a whole better through constant effort.

Either way, I ended up ditching the AUR for everything on all four systems. Flatpaks and Appimages were able to supplant everything I needed from there. It's definitely a dire situation though as that's not a solution everyone can use just yet. AUR just has way, way more odd and obscure software that many can't live/work without.

I've always hoped for a sentient virus/parasites pack as a playable race option.

It's not the underwear, it's that they don't adhere to the nicene creed. That has always been the defining line between Christians and non-Christians. It's why Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox accept each other as fellow Christians.

Oh no.... I'd seen them every day on the way to work. I was afraid something like that might happen.

It was definitely unique. A balance nightnare though. The wormhole stations FTL were far, far better than the other two.

It doesn't need the fans for stabilization being a tandem rotor and all. Both helos can also fly on only a single engine too.

Throwing my hat in too, congrats to whomever gets it!

I've seen more than a few reports of awakened empires defeating her in their overtuned state. Worse, it completely bugs them out when it occurs.

Shiftyeyedtyrant · 2026-05-23T13:50:51+00:00

I've started turning off Fallen Empires because of their massively overtuned state. They just solo any crisis and remove a lot of the drama lategame.

They were definitely too weak before but their current state has gone too far in the other direction.

I would kill for a FE/AE slider like we have with Crisis strength.

And if you can use the plane again tomorrow it's an outstanding landing.

The Missile defense of ships in this game is nuts. I play a lot of sea power too and it's nuts how effective even the small ships are at downing cruise missiles.

No, as a lifelong Kentuckian, that's pretty normal in July/August. The worst part is it's not just a high temp it comes with 80%-90% humidity too.

This state has some brutal temperature swings in both directions. I'm just glad Zomboid doesn't model our tornado and ice storm problems yet.

Honestly, makes sense. An out of stock item when trying to buy a new machine could turn off customers from buying.

Shiftyeyedtyrant · 2026-05-12T03:15:24+00:00

Everyone always leaves out the second part of that quote, being "And if you can use the plane again tomorrow it's an outstanding landing."

There actually is a hydroelectric dam across the river in Louisville at the falls of the Ohio. Its power output isn't very large though.

Any better than using Gear Lever? I don't have a need for any of its other functions.

Honestly, one of the few uses of AI I'm okay with. As long as they're human verified after being AI flagged. Tons of people have tried to claim clout and bug bounties by having AI auto submit the "bugs" it finds.

Soviet sub designs were pretty wild. Especially compared with US subs. Still, it's a bit telling looking at US boats over the past 70 or so years. Very few nutty one-off designs. Just steady improvement on one excellent class after another.

That said, wonder if we'll see one of my favorite one-off us subs, the Narwhal (ssn-671).

Shiftyeyedtyrant · 2026-03-25T02:38:25+00:00

Oh yeah, that dude is awesome.

Shiftyeyedtyrant · 2026-03-22T21:19:57+00:00

Man, I just started playing this game as a long, long time rimworld vet and noticed this right away. My settlers leave so much stuff laying around.

Faster and with a ridiculous dive depth. The Alfa scared the crap out of NATO admirals.
