Mine are similar to yours, but only two relatively short periods per year. It hits me mid-spring, and end of summer.

As for your allergy testing, it’s likely you’re not really allergic to all of the allergens you were tested for. In many cases for those tests, if a few of the allergens trigger a reaction, then all or most of the injection sites will react rather than just the ones you’re allergic to. It helps when you can tell in the moment which one started it, since reactions happen quite quickly.

I’ve been on a Darksynth kick lately. Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Shredder 1984.

HFW was so much worse for conversation animations.

There’s no way they’re giving you an “upgrade” for free. Don’t worry, as long as you don’t pay for it, you’re not getting the new version.

Boiling the frog and whatnot.

It’s easier to accept this annoyance and move on. And then the next one. And the next. Why bother fighting anything at that point? It’s easier to let them step on us and be thankful they’ll take our money for it.

Rockstar has apparently bought FiveM.

Rockstar have already mentioned that they are working to get the game working on Steam Deck, and by extension Linux in general.

Shouldn’t be too hard since BattlEye is supposed to be compatible and there’s a BattlEye Proton runtime.

No, I don’t want to be beamed down. I just want to know that when I decide I do want to be beamed down, I’ll be able to.

The raccoon tail lets you fly. The Tanooki suit lets you turn into a statue, but also happens to have a raccoon tail so it also lets you fly.

3D printers can move very fast. They typically don’t because it causes all kinds of deformations in the print. Mostly the issues are in acceleration, decelaration, cornering, and controlling the heat snd flow of melting filament.

I don’t know whether or not the accelerometer thing can be done in real time, or if there would be any benefit.

Check out the 2-minute Benchy for an example of how fast a 3D printer can get. This is a test print that typically should take about 45 minutes to an hour at very basic settings.

But also note the quality of the end product. It looks pretty awful. If we could print accurately at even remotely similar speeds, it would be fantastic.

That kid is back on the escalator again!

Some games are also just well-optimized. Definitely more of a gaming GPU, but when I had a 1070Ti in my rig, I could run Doom 2016 at 4k at well over 60fps

According to the article:

But a former British Army munitions expert, who asked not to be named, told the BBC the pagers would have likely been packed with between 10g and 20g of military-grade high explosive, hidden inside a fake electronic component.

I don’t know what the actual truth of the situation is, but something’s fucky. I can’t imagine how Israel could plant explosives in those pagers. And overheating batteries would burst into flames rather than literally explode, so that would probably be mentioned somewhere.

Israel’s doing lots of fucked up shit lately, but I can’t see how this one would be their fault.

In Quebec we often call them “crottes de fromage” which literally translates to cheese turds.

I’ve been using a Pinecil which is USB-C powered. It heats up in seconds and the temp can be adjusted easily. The big plus to me is how small it is. It’s so much easier to handle than a standard iron, and the tips are push-in and can be locked with a screw so they’re easy to swap.

Woop woop, that’s the sound of the police

Just a reminder that the guy in charge of the USPS is the same guy as in 2020 when they tried cutting back postal services and decomissioning sorting machines in the run up to the election in “an attempt to be profitable.”

I live nowhere near the tropics. In fact, I live in a place where I could actually see polar bears and arctic foxes if I was so inclined. I like that they exist, but I don’t want them anywhere near me, as specist as that may sound.

How much you wanna bet that if this was an artic fox, or polar bear attack, the words inner city would never have appeared in this article…

Ok, that’s fair, but polar bears and arctic foxes aren’t known to frequent the tropics.

IIRC Doom didn’t have a skybox per se, just parallax ceiling textures. You could put that texture on floors or ceilings and it would show the sky texture that would not be attached to the walls.
