Anyone who raises an eyebrow at paying $85 for a Deep Rock Galactic mug must know they are 'the most complicated mug made industrially on Earth'
  • It's true theoretically carbon fiber filling will always reduce Impact resistence, but it shouldn't be too much of an issue for this application when the polymer already have exceptional impact resistence and thus a lot of headroom to spare. In other words, because of how the polymers like PA/PC already have so much impact resistence, the stuff usually riot shield or motorcycle helmet shell is made of, there will still be more than enough impact resistence after the impact resistance reduction from CF filling, to be sufficiently impact resistent for a throwing mug LMAO

    At least my power tools who's handles and casings are made of PA6 + 30% glass fiber (which has even worse impact resistence impact than CF) hold up more than sufficiently from getting thrown around lol

  • Odds of asteroid YR4 hitting Earth just went up again, reaching new high
  • And hopefully it can be highly rich in rare minerals, so that when the ashes of WW3 finally settle down, at least the future generations of humans or not-human sapient entities will at least get something good out of the whole ridiculous mess we're currently in lol

  • U.S. aircraft carrier collides with merchant ship in Mediterranean Sea.
  • This can't possibly be unintentional right?

    Remember an aircraft carrier is not just an airport on a ship, it's also the intelligence center and CIC of the entire battle group, so an aircraft carrier is equipped with literally the best radar and sensor suites of any vessel in the entire navy, that combined with the sheer number of people that will be on watch duty on such a massive ship, there is simply no possibility it could somehow "accidentally miss" a cargo ship to a point where a collision could happen.

    While on the other side, Suez canal is some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, so all cargo vessels follow strictly prescribed paths when leaving the canal, there's no reason for one single exiting ship among a swarm of them to have gone out its way to have a chance to collide with an incoming vessel, one that's has the best sensor suite as well as some of the most powerful propulsion capabilities.

    Am I missing something here???

  • 14 states sue DOGE, blasting Musk's 'unprecedented' power as unconstitutional
  • Counter argument: there is always government funds used inefficiently, there is always accounting practices that can be improved upon, a government system with perfect efficiency or is completely free from economic corruption does not exist. This simple matter of fact is NOT a justification of giving an individual, who's not an elected governmental official and does not represent the interest of the nation and its people, the authority and power above the entire government, against the constitution.

  • 14 states sue DOGE, blasting Musk's 'unprecedented' power as unconstitutional
  • It's quite encouraging how these states are all from different parts of the US, with different overall cultural values and political stances, yet they are all united on the same side in this.

    I hope this is a good sign something might actually work out here, I really hope

  • Microsoft Once Believed HoloLens Could Be Gaming's Future, Now It's A Military Product
  • Simulator games, where people play with specialized hardware specifically modeled after real control systems on real world vehicles. Such as flight simulators, train simulators, tank simulators, etc.

    Just because you play video games as an escape from reality, doesn't mean video games have to be intentionally different from the reality.

  • Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games
  • I think what matters more, or perhaps at least in Valve's perspective, is that microtransactions are inherently binding between the game's developer/publisher and the player, so the game's developer/publisher is the sole party held accountable here (by Valve), while ads inherently involve and invite a 3rd party advertiser, muddying the situation for everybody. While on the other hand, microtransactions can only be done for content already a part of the game, while ads serve content outside the scope of the game.

    So this is much much more enforceable for Valve, while DLC and microtransactions marketing is already subject to the established rules on Steam.

  • Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History Month
  • I agree with your points, but what do you think are some of the specific things Google or other similar tech companies in such a similar capacity could realistically and meaningfully do object the Musk-Thiel-Trumpian destruction machine?

    I would like to learn more

  • Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps
  • Though to be fair cringe is like right in the very blood to Google anyway so what would you expect...

    I mean, just look at how they often respond on their bug tracker platform of most of their products and how they try to justify their endless streams of questionable design decisions, that seems to be characteristic of them at this point lol

  • As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market
  • What exactly happened to the DVDs in the basement? That's really interesting, indeed DVDs also claimed 100+ years of life span, but as you can see that's only the theoretical maximal in perfect conditions, which don't exist in real life, and the same thing happened to your DVDs can happen to Blu-Ray disks too

  • Belgium to harness AI to find criminals with first dedicated minister
  • Unfortunately law enforcement is one of the many specific "exceptions" in the new EU bill, the bill is criticized for having many such loopholes for law enforcement and immigration control.

    The new EU bill is definitely really important because having such a bill is wayyyy better than having no bill until much later, but I feel like this is going to backfire so much in the near future.

  • New Bill to Effectively Kill Anime & Other Piracy in the U.S. Gets Backing by Netflix, Disney & Sony
  • Not to mention Valve spearheaded major development for making Linux gaming like 200% better than it used to be, with development of Proton and everything, and giving all those work back to the entire gaming community as open source products entirely for free, bring in momentum for an entire industry.

    That's a company you support.

  • Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change
  • I'm sorry but if I've already paid $60 for a video game, I shouldn't also be required to make a friend just to be able to experience the entirety of the content this game offers, in the manner it was originally intended to be experienced.
