Hydrogen, helium or hot air?

I mean, if there’s an airplane mode, so why not. I wonder if there’s also a bicycle mode… should be.

Oh, but a USB condom really is a thing though. It just passes through power but no data, as those pins are missing.

What many people seem to be saying is that one disturbed individual likes to post weird stuff to this community. Interesting. I wasn’t aware that there was a problem like this.

Do people downvote because they disagree with the post title, or because they think it’s actually a popular opinion?

The older models didn’t manage the temperature at all. Those batteries have been abused in hot and cold weather, which makes them die super fast. There are basically only two months every year when you can safely drive an EV like that. All the other days are more or less ideal for murdering that battery.

Yeah, that post was getting way too long, so I made some cuts here and there. The issue was in the way SE2 detects hardware… or more like doesn’t detect my GPU at all, throws an error about it and refuses to start. Under Bazzite it starts the game first 🎉, then complains that my hardware might not be good enough to run this game 🤯, but the beautiful graphics say otherwise. It’s still in early access, so I guess this kind of strange behavior will be ironed out sooner or later.

I got tired of researching this issue in Debian, so once I got it up and running in Bazzite, I stopped reading about it. Honestly, I have no idea what’s the key difference here. Is it the driver version, Proton-GE or something else? Who knows.

Anyway, I would recommend trying Bazzite. It has some pre-configured tricks that seem to handle weird cases like this.

It was Space Engineers 2. Even made a post about the journey.

All the other games were just fine though. If you don’t stumble upon one of these edge cases, there’s no reason to switch.

That’s the same philosophy I’ve applied for a long time. Recently, I found out that gaming is an exception to the rule, though. While older versions are just fine for the most part, there are edge cases where that no longer applies. I also found out that I care about one of them. Until you hit that brick wall, there’s no reason to switch. Just keep on using Debian for everything.

Took me a while to realise that I was spending way too much time figuring out workarounds instead of actually gaming. I ended up using Bazzite in my gaming rig because it works so well for that purpose.

Oh wow! That’s amazing.

Groundhog (Gr), a unit of uncertainty in weather predictions. The value of 1 Gr means the prediction is as good as pulling it out of a hat.

You gotta have some standards. If you use a different rodent every year, you can’t realistically compare the results with one another. Who knows how wildly the measurement error varies from species to species?

It’s the trivial proof.

I was thinking about that case too. There was also plenty of cellular damage, which obviously made everything a lot more painful, but probably also faster. If all DNA just vanished, cell replication would stop. I think the zombie phase could last surprisingly long.

But RNA would still be there, right? Definitely not enough to save the day, but at least you would have some borrowed time.

If we utilize the Eiffel technique, we can easily push it to 300 m.

The 0 m orbit should be ideal, because it reduces rocket fuel expenses to zero.

What about the null rig where you have zero masts and sails?

Anyone else reading this in 2026?
