He/Him. Treat others with respect, but do not tolerate fools.

I play computer games, current favourites are Pokemon Go, Elder Scrolls Online and Kerbal Space Program.

I also like driving fast cars slowly.

So I went to all that effort to defend the town guard, only to have the game go all Deus Ex Machina on me and melt her brain in front of me.

If you're so powerful why aren't you able to override minds with less harm? Or are you just showing off how you plan to reward me for helping you?

Goodnight world!

Here's the view of the sunset from my outpost on Serpentis IV. Everyone's here, where are you?

Don't get too excited about this DOJ ruling about Google being a monopoly on a specific subset of web advertising. The law might get Google to stop doing the exact thing they were doing, but Google will just do something else that is different from a regulatory perspective but behaviourally indistinguishable from a user perspective.

Justice Neil Gorsuch warned President Biden to "be careful" with Supreme Court reforms.

But Gorsuch sold property to the CEO of a law firm that regularly argues cases before the Court.

He never disclosed the buyer and he didn't recuse himself from cases.

Hello?

3h of Elite Dangerous just driving around this planet looking for bacteria colonies. Then I headed out on foot and found three in half an hour. "Night vision" in the Scarab didn't help. Just walking around with the scanner in my hand pinging for a signal every 50m or so is what it took.

On some planets bacteria colonies area easily visible. On this planet, far from its local star, everything is black on black on black. Might look like night to you but this is midday.

This to me was one of my greatest successes in my ~50h #EliteDangerous play to date. Successfully getting "first footfall" bonus for scanning bacteria colonies on a world that had already recorded a first footfall, but that previous visitor had not scanned the bacteria colonies (they had scanned the other plants then given up).
