Is that Brain Guy? What’s he upset about?

Somebody alert RFK!

I look forward to the NYSE hitting record highs on Monday on news of the US economy shitting the bed.

It’s not exactly commie, but the Borderlands series has a distinctly anti-capitalist undertone. I’d recommend Borderlands 2 if you have any interest in a looter-shooter, it runs great on the steam deck.

In the spirit of bipartisanship.

Icewind Dale 1 & 2 are both excellent and worth playing if you like BG and Planescape. There is an Enhanced Edition for Icewind 1, but the source for 2 was lost so Beamdog didn’t do an official EE for it. However some modders did make an unofficial Icewind Dale 2 EE mod which is very good and fixes a bunch of stuff, highly recommended if you want to play it too.

Redhat, in 1997. A group at my college was burning CDs and giving them away, along with some “extra” goodies like whatever version of Enlightenment was new at the time, I remember being amazed by that. Or maybe it was just some E themes, don’t remember exactly. I think Redhat still came with FVWM95 and maybe OpenStep. I spent so many hours editing those damned Xfree86 configs just to get basic VGA graphics to work.

What about dark matter? One pound of it weighs over 10000 pounds.

I say tomato

I’ve been wondering this for a while now too. If it’s true, it’s a page straight out of Machiavelli. Are you a king who wants to enact some new policies over a population, but you know they’ll be unpopular? Appoint a vassal to enact your policies, plus a bunch of other bullshit that’s even more unpopular. When the population is fed up and calling for the vassal’s head, swoop in and fire him, undo the bullshit policies but keep the ones you originally wanted, and hey presto you look like a hero!

That said… I have my doubts as to whether the trump folks are that clever.
