Tesla's stock history, for reference. I'm not an economist or finance bro, so I'm not sure how stock splits factor into a graph like this, but for the record, Tesla had a 5:1 split in 2020 and a 3:1 split in 2022.

My mom grew up in an area of California with no fireflies. When she was a teenager, she went on a cross-country trip with a friend. In the mountains of North Carolina, they were driving along at night when some bugs hit the windshield of their car. They didn't think much of it... until the bug guts started glowing. Then they screamed.

I have never seen a McDonalds that looks like the top pic. I remember plenty with play spaces, but they weren't visible from outside.

Very much same. I wish the Burning Shores expansion was a bit longer. It's kinda hard to call it a must-play DLC, but it's got some big stuff in terms of Aloy's character development.

And now it's gone, along with the expertise it housed from developing cult hits stretching as far back as MS-DOS games in 1997, through the iconic Shadow of Mordor, F.E.A.R., Condemned, No One Lives Forever, and The Matrix Online.

Fuuuck. That really sunk it home for me. Other than the Matrix, I played and loved all of those games. RIP Monolith.

The whole point of the Sword of Damocles was that the threat was always looming and Damocles didn't know when it might fall. We know exactly when Microsoft says they are going to drop support. There's a decent chance that they'll push that date back due to slow adoption at least once.

This is more about rats not fleeing the sinking ship until the sea has reached the bow.

Jill Bearup, a Youtuber and stage/film combat enthusiast. She echoed some shitty transphobe rhetoric in a blog post years ago and deleted them. Tom asked her about it after others made him aware and he gave a very reserved description of her reply that tells me she still holds views that he doesn't agree with or want to be associated with.

ETA: After donating what he estimated would be the proceeds of that collaboration video to the Trevor Project, he ultimately decided to take the video down altogether.

I also appreciate the thoughtfulness he showed when he found out someone he had recently collaborated with had made transphobic comments in the past.

You're never going to appease everyone, and I appreciate that he shared the thinking that led him to his decision. I just regret not finding out about the incident until like a week after I ordered her book.

NC is way more purple than you realize. The GOP has just gotten away with too much gerrymandering and voter suppression to show it in our politics.

And Garner is in Wake County, one of the bluest in the state. If it will happen anywhere in the state, this is probably the best bet.

I'm completely self-taught when it comes to Linux, so I have some obvious gaps in my knowledge. I've looked for good write-ups on how Linux folders are intended for use and been unable to find a good resource. Thank you for sharing the official standard name. Reading up on it now.

Yeah, it's crazy to me that people believe we were "intelligently designed" when our food hole and breathing hole are so close that we can only use one at a time, and that our waste dumping grounds are right next to the amusement park.

Nuh uh. Bae'zel wouldn't apologize. She'd be like, "Hey, you remember that time we beat each other bloody, then fucked like owlbears? That was hot, wasn't it?"
