Two, maybe 2.5. Season 4 was a disaster IMO. I've got it on DVD but haven't even bothered ripping it.

Oh man, that reminds me of a place near me that does palak paneer fries. It's like Indian poutine. Amazing.

I bet they've got websites with RSS feeds. Pick up an RSS reader and subscribe to their news & announcements page.

Their Cyborg is really great. Takes some time to get the muscle memory, but it really does the job well.

Do you think we could ever have that future?
That's interesting, but personally, I don't see a lot of point. I'm totally willing to learn about other people's workflows and use cases though. I just have a hard time envisioning a need for two pointers at once other than edge cases like resizing lots of windows or something. Maybe 3d modeling, for better moving/rotating control?
In most cases, it seems like the way to get more efficient is to stop using the mouse and fire up a terminal. If you just want more buttons on your mouse so you can have a full keyboard, maybe try the Azeron Cyro? I haven't used it personally, though I do use their Cyborg for games.

I think they tend to be more interesting too, yeah.

I'd rate them about the same, personally. Though Brooks is at least just derivative and juvenile; Goodkind gets increasingly self indulgent.

Darknet Diaries. Full of fascinating cybersecurity stories and interviews, with both whitehats and blackhats.

First time I ever saw in-car GPS was arrive 2003 when I was hitchhiking in Japan. Heading the car just give directions was mind-blowing; it was like being in a William Gibson novel.

At 60mph with a 2 second following distance, you'd need about 176 feet, so you'd want 3 car lengths with 50 foot cars.

Bottlescrews and turnbuckles both have one end threaded in each direction.

Forged in the Dark games are great; I haven't gotten to play Blades, but I've run some Scum & Villainy (which is a space opera setting: think Star Wars meets Firefly), and it's probably my new favorite system
MorkBorg is fun for the aesthetic, but the combat always seems to just drag on, with round after round of damage getting blocked by armor. On the up side, the rounds go really quick.

What you're asking about there seems like it's really: "Is something being knowledge vs belief subjective or objective?"
The answer, just like for "is cereal soup?", is that it's all semantics. It's not like there's some Authority who's created the Platonic Form of Knowledge that Beliefs cannot partake of, and there's a clear delineation between Knowledge and Belief. We're just using these weird shapes, sounds, hand gestures, or whatever else to try to do telepathy and get our thoughts into someone else's head. Like all semantic questions, what this comes down to is: have you chosen the right word to convey your thought? If people seem to not be getting it, try the other one.

There are lawsuits: https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/02/crowdstrike-faces-onslaught-of-legal-action-from-faulty-software-update/
These things will probably take years to play out.

Where do you put your SSDs, though? If it's not off-site, it's not a backup.

Halting State was great. It actually took me a couple of chapters to realize it was all 2nd person. That's the book that got me into Stross.
Hi all, I recently got into the world of ergo mech by borrowing a friend's old Iris v2, and I really love how powerful and customizable things can be with QMK firmware. Recently, my old n52te has started to show signs of age after a dozen or so years of abuse. If you're not familiar, they look like this: ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Finfosec.pub%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F83c8ff33-3285-49dc-a720-af3269036df3.jpeg) There's definitely stuff that could be improved on--just being able to build your own firmware for it would be amazing. Having one or two more thumb buttons for layers would be sweet as well. The community of ergo mech keyboard builders are doing some super cool things with 3d printed builds and all kinds of neat stuff. Since I've just been dipping my toes in, my question is: does anyone know of any good replacements for my n52te? Is this something anyone has tried tinkering around with? Thanks!
I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with some homebrew stuff I'll be dealing with in my 5e campaign. If you're not familiar with [Ancestral Weapons](https://www.dmsguild.com/product/267877/Ancestral-Weapons), it's a pretty cool system that gives you the ability to have weapons that level up with your players. The players get points periodically that they can spend on upgrades to their weapons. I'll be using a variation of this setup in my campaign, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do so. My initial thought was a scene for each character's weapon, with some Monk's Active Tiles to handle a "talent tree" kind of interface where a player could select and then lock in which powers they want. That doesn't really take care of updating the item itself though, which means that the players would have to update things manually ("oh, I need to make this sword +2 now" for example) after using the scene as a kind of calculator. So maybe there's a better way: make the weapons Actors of their own, with special character sheets or something? Or maybe there's an existing mod I can use? Any thoughts or suggestions on the best way forward are appreciated.
