The wives of my friend group unanimously decided they straight up weren't taking part in July 4th until their bodily autonomy and right to care is restored. It sucked not having a cookout but I can't say I blame them in the slightest.

Speak for yourself asshole, the most vulnerable populations among us are waiting for you to do your jobs. Typical GOP "The govt doesn't work and elect us to prove it" BS

Hm looks like each game takes ~2x time to complete and release the next, thus we can accurately estimate that GTA7 should be out around 2044, Just in time for my grandkids to enjoy it!

Every pixel is another +1 interaction on the site to pump their engagement numbers. Might not be direct views, but they are using r/place to offset the audience engagement losses over the monthly average. Spez is buying time before the summaries hit the board's desks.

I know this is old and other comments have it right- it's a togglable mode. And while I know it feels comfortable coming from unity - I would highly recommend getting comfortable with blenders default navigation, for example selecting an object and using 'numpad .' to focus it. The navigation methods blender uses is way more efficient for modeling while unity's navigation is better suited for moving around large 3d spaces.

Ideally your individual blender projects should be much smaller than a full unity scene. Think of it less like flying around the 3d space but instead having your model sitting on a potter's wheel and spinning it around.

Insomnia has that classic postman feel, but personally I switched to hurl ( https://hurl.dev/ ) I really like how simple it is once it's setup.

My understanding is that kbin doesn't have an API right now, so apps can't be built yet

Impossible to say, there is no easy or immediate fix that I can imagine. I've basically accepted the underlying threat of fascism is something we are going to be dealing with for the rest of our time on the planet. Continue to vote to keep fascists off the levers of power, continue to protest whenever they have the levers, and pray the wheels of justice ground finely for enemies of democracy. Perhaps our kids or grandkids will find themselves in a better situation for their times...

Cry me a river. Clinton had a plan to retrain and retool these coal towns your describing into productive green energy leaders and they rejected it because she eats babies and wind farms kill birds, or whatever. They are totally irrational and I'm not going to keep pretending otherwise. The real government failure is lack of education spending and critical thinking skills (thanks GOP) that is going to take generations to correct.

Edit: I'll add there are sparks of "hope" in rural america now that farmers are seeing the impacts of climate change effecting their yields, I think they are starting to come around. Probably too late, but it's something...

I never made it into algebra in grade school, my scores weren't good enough. but I took a liking to software dev and the ability to create digitally. Self taught myself all the variables and flow controls and OOP, now been a professional developer for 15 years.

However I still suck at math, and these fancy symbols still scare me probably because they were never properly explained. But yeah, I fit right in the mold you describe. Glad I have the computer to crunch the numbers for me.
