I have one of these, and it works well, a lightweight and compact “universal” cable that charges as quickly as my single-format Anker cables. This is an especially good discount code and I am getting another one.

An important update to this story from the Washington Post:

The NOAA is under the Department of Commerce, whose Secretary Wilbur Ross is one of the most blatantly corrupt in Trump’s cabinet, which is saying something. I hope the source of this “utterly disgusting and disingenuous tweet sent out by NOAA management” (quote from Dan Sobien, the president of the National Weather…

Bartomeu has revealed and publicized far more of his disgusting nature by this lawsuit than would ever have come to light if he had ignored the YouTube comment. So ridiculous, self-important and stupid, how is he allowed to be in charge of anything whatsoever?

Metereologist Dennis Mersereau points out that deliberately falsifying a public weather forecast is a federal crime:

Yes. Also classic for abusers to try to lie and manipulate others into feeling sorry for them about being “victims” of misunderstanding or vendettas by “unbalanced” accusers. The Big Lie is central to their strategy of undermining and gaslighting.

Nah, we all know he said something more insulting. Besides, “overweight” has three syllables, and that’s past his limit.

I think it’s very likely he tries to refuse to leave the White House.

Yes, it is bad. Here are some reports:

Maybe the station chairs don’t work in NMS VR (yet), but here’s a guy thrilled about the chair in his ship cockpit in his first ever experience of VR. (He’s a long-time fan of the game and streams on YouTube as Game Mode.)

I don’t think that will happen. With every free update, many more people bought the game and lots of money came in. They are an small indie company, tiny compared to the big studios, with about 16 employees during much of the history of the game, so their expenses are less. They are also looking ahead to their next…

...and for working really hard to make their unique vision real, all without extra payments or microtransactions. And for listening to the fans.

Early reports from Black Hole Suns are that the mapped black holes remain unchanged in the Beyond update.  There are a lot more than 3000 holes mapped now.  

Here’s the ICN NMS Beyond review that came out August 9. It includes several embedded videos, one of which is the reviewer’s 4+ minute report on a 30 minute hands-on VR demo session with suggestions from Sean Murray:

Given that Barr is in charge, I anticipate that reported evidence of the Epstein-related crimes of Trump allies or powerful Rethug moneymen or politicians will be strangely deficient.  I hope the evidence is saved from purging.

Thank you! If I had the software and the skills, I’d lighten the hair and ‘stache on the great Trejo head you originally chose for Witcher treatment. It’s a great concept though, Danny Trejo slaying monsters to defend the helpless with his magical toughness.  The monsters would run for sure.

This Witcher one is great, but it needs a revision to white or light grey hair. With that change, it’s got my vote.

Multiplayer is not and never has been mandatory.  There are many choices in the settings and you can be solitary or as selective as you want with interactions with other players.

The magic ingredient that gives it a “meaty” taste, look and feel is a protein from soy roots, soy leghemoglobin. (This is a substitute for the hemoglobin and myoglobin in mammalian muscle.). This is the part that took some time for FDA approval. Some recent Gizmodo articles:

This is exciting. For those like me, who somehow missed the prize-winning book, this Atlantic review gives some insight:
