My boomer parents were very excited when they heard people were mad and made a point of telling everyone how excited they were to watch this.

Sort of. These patches have always existed at the center of major ocean gyres (and often minor gyres too).

They just used to be made up mostly of seaweed, sea plants, dead organisms. Even trees, and shit like boat wreckage. Practically anything that washed into the ocean and could float long enough. Along with…

The fact that they’re still discussing and focusing on “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch” should be warning sign number one that they don’t really know what they’re doing.

Because there isn’t a Great Pacific Garbage Patch. There’s multiple, transient, and ever shifting garbage patches localized at the center of the …

 
because I couldn’t find the space to watch a single massive drop in the middle of it (it’s on the schedule for when I do get a solid block of time).

What was really telling was The Witcher and Mandalorian coming out around the same time. The Witcher managed to crowd Mandalorian out of the discussion and press coverage. For about 3 days when it first dropped. Otherwise Mandalorian absolutely dominated everything for months after it’s release.

I mean Star Wars is…

Thing is with the delays and pandemic issues there was more money spent than planned.

Yeah there’s just sort of a lack of information about it. The statements could definitely been rooted in something, but without that context it comes off as PR.

It likely is, salt water and iron don’t get along. And that’s to have full on concretion going on, the iron at the center of them things is often pretty badly corroded. If protected enough to still mostly be there.

Reminding me a bit more of Kill Bill, and maybe Scott Pilgrim.

It has existed for a couple hundred years.

Fair bit of the articles here are just drawn from press releases. 

So this appears to be entirely routine coffee substitute. But greenwashed to high hell and billed as something new.

Point worth making is coffee substitutes like chicory are mostly a thing because they’re significantly cheaper. Like a whole fuck ton cheaper. Charging fancy coffee prices for them would be really…

Uh, yeah that’s how dog whistles work. That’s just the same metaphor with more words. The operating principal of dog whistlin’ stated flatly.  

Yeah that’ll go well. His father, for whose company Ron seems to have worked, has been plausibly connected to the distribution of childporn. And there totally aren’t sketchy connections between the who 8chan/Q circle and foreign intelligence.

Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor-Greene have some sad news about what kind of chance Republicans like this have of making the ballot.

But you know it’s not like Maricopa County repeated elected this convicted felon.

Wait are you suggesting Netflix could be using an unproven accusation as an excuse?

Are you telling me a giant corporation with a questionable history of labor relations, would manufacturer an excuse to fire an employee?

When has a giant, billion dollar company every sought to remove an employee who organized against…

Apparently not without some work on Windows 10. I seem to remember the Homeworld games being sorta tricky to run. 

Sure I don’t see why “but PCs are hard” justification has to be any part of that. Since much of it just isn’t true, and hasn’t been for a long time.

DAO apparently has some squirly on modern systems, though there are plenty of unresolved bugs left from the original release. It ran fine last time I ran through it a few years back, so I think it was recent Windows and Directx changes or something wut done it. I was thinking of playing through it again because I got…

There’s also a reason I’ve never been much of a PC gamer. I just like things to work without any fuss.
