  • UK experiences ‘tropical night’ after hottest ever May day

    Jump

  • Our loft got so hot during the day it set off the heat alarm up there. Absolutely nuts.

  • Enterprise being able to terraforming planets.

    Jump

  • TOS used a completely different warp scale with no upper maximum, hence the higher numbers in use.

    When they made TNG they redesigned the scale to be exponential, with warp 10 being the upper limit because at that point the object has infinite velocity and exists everywhere simultaneously.

  • Have you met people on the street who look like celebrities?

    Jump

  • I realise it’s not really the point here, but calling Jeffrey Epstein a celebrity seems comically reductive.

    Like, yeah, technically I guess it’s true? But it’s not the word that springs to mind when most people think of him. Made me chuckle.

  • If you managed to create lithium batteries that can last for a century, will charging become redundant?

    Jump

  • I did not! I actually had one back in the day and never had battery issues, but pretty funny to hear it was a common complaint.

    (Still, I think the broader point stands.)

  • If you managed to create lithium batteries that can last for a century, will charging become redundant?

    Jump

  • Given the pace of technological progress, I doubt a phone bought today will be all that useful (except as a retro novelty) in 20 years time, let alone 100.

    How many people do you think are still daily-driving a Motorola KRZR? It’s not because of the battery life.

  • The perfect housework for a heatwave bank holiday: defrost your freezer

    Jump

  • But that would interfere with our existing and objectively perfect system: ignore/procrastinate until the ice gets so thick the door doesn’t close, at which point the freezer defrosts itself.

    Sure, you lose all the food inside, but it’s one less chore to worry about!

  • How to tell a horse’s age

    Jump

  • Well, sort of. While it does refer to horses, it’s actually a reference to how their gums recede as they get older, making the teeth look longer (at least according to Brewer’s).

  • UK judge’s decision not to jail boys for rape like a ‘rock in my face’, says victim, 16

    Jump

  • the second 15-year-old had an IQ in the “bottom 1% of his contemporaries”

    ‘My client is too stupid to go to prison, your honour.’

  • Morrisons introduce male sanitary bins – anti-woke brigade lose it

    Jump

  • Idiots misinterpret thing.

    This isn’t news; it’s barely-disguised rage bait designed to make you angry.

    … and now I’m angry about it, so I guess it works on multiple levels.

  • Pope Leo decries 'dizzying' profits earned by companies that pollute

    Jump

  • But the internet taught me that being cynical is cool! It’s all I know!

  • Destiny developers reflect on the end of an era: 'We all worked so hard to maintain the quality bar under unrealistic constraints'

    Jump

  • Did you actually read the article or are you just kneejerk griping based on the title?

    It’s a quote from an individual developer - an audio designer - talking about their experiences during Bungie’s layoffs, hence the reference to ‘unrealistic constraints’, but for some reason you seem to be taking it as an opportunity to air your grievances with the overall creative direction?

    Maybe you didn’t mean it that way, but I can’t stand it when ‘fans’ lash out at developers as if they’ve been personally wronged. Remember the human.

  • How do you guys make your coffee?

    Jump

  • Generous heaped teaspoon of ground coffee into the Aeropress, fill with 90°C water from the kettle, wait 2-5 mins depending on how much time I have, invert over a mug, press, and drink.

    Recently treated myself to a manual grinder (Kingrinder K6) instead of buying preground coffee. I don’t think I’m a coffee snob, but my god the difference in taste is huge!

  • What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?

    Jump

  • Two reasons:

    • Active multiplayer: Yes this is kind of a chicken and egg situation, but people who play online multiplayer want to play the version of the game with the largest community of active players.
    • Roster updates: If you’re a fan of a sports team, you probably want to play using their current active roster. Yes, fan updates are sometimes available for older titles but the latest release will have updated face scans etc.

  • Developer makes the same game twice in Unity and Godot after struggling to choose an engine, delivering detailed comparison of the pros and cons

    Jump

  • Unity, including Unity Hub and related components, required roughly 21GB of storage, while Godot Engine needed only around 164MB

    It really is astounding how bloated Unity has become over the last decade. It was never a lightweight engine, but 20GB+ just to install the editor is nuts.

  • Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Projected As The Best-Selling Game In April (US)

    Jump

  • No, it’s closer to The Sims or Animal Crossing - a sandbox you fill with little computer-controlled characters, and then see what happens.

  • fun fact

    Jump

  • Yes, because famously when someone dies all of their money just ceases to exist

  • UK Government told to 'urgently intervene' as flotilla activists kidnapped by Israel

    Jump

  • Article is paywalled.

  • New $750 plex pass pricing

    Jump

  • They almost certainly don’t expect people to buy it at this price. They’re putting it out to pasture.

    Give it a year or two and they’ll do an announcement that no one is purchasing lifetime licenses so they’re sunsetting the scheme altogether.

  • I try to be open minded but it's just wrong

    Jump

  • Sometimes I put only one shoe on and walk around the house, just to feel something different.
