Roast potatoes! My grandmother made the best roast potatoes in the pan as the roast beef dripped fat down on them; they were amazing, but it's sad that the meat had to be sacrificed to make them that way...

It's emulation, that's the only way it won't get re-rated for gambling.

That matches the last time I checked as well. A cross country basic ticket was the same cost as a plane ticket, but if I wanted anything more than a basic chair then the price quickly skyrocketed.

Reason to remember the name

[–] Mithre@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It was my character name in my first MMO, the English beta for MapleStory back over 20 years ago, and I've been using it ever since. I picked it since it was close to Mithril, from Lord of the Rings.

Well, fish doesn't really have a scientific meaning... https://youtu.be/uhwcEvMJz1Y

Our development branch is "working", then we have specific dated snapshots where we run our datasets through our programs.

Mass Effect Andromeda. I loved the original trilogy, even the third one, and I was hopeful that they'd live up to what they were promising. Instead, we got a garbage game that completely tossed the idea of exploring a new galaxy. I tried to play it 3 different times, just to give it a chance, and I couldn't go through with it.

I'd say part of the problem for Andromeda was that everyone else got there first in terms of colonization; the player isn't exploring a new location, untouched by colonists, they're going to an established settlement and exploring around that instead.

One of my cats periodically likes to stick his head through the window blinds at 2 in the morning to look outside. When he does that he makes these terrible choking noises, which causes me, if I'm awake to hear it, to run out and check on him. At that point, he'll pull his head out and look at me like I'm the idiot for being worried about him...

Oh, it's a great book. Or at least, I liked it a lot. The library mulching was opposed by most of the characters.

This reminds me of the book Rainbows End, by Vernor Vinge. In it, a company uses a mulcher to grind down all the books and shelves in a library, then uses scans of the scraps to reassemble the books in digital form for an AR version of the library.
