That looks indeed awesome. I didn’t know Elite was developed for the BBC Micro… 22 kB for a 3D open-world fighting/trading/mining flight simulator using only 8-bit integer addition operations. I had no idea…


Ah, no, just giving a glimpse of my own very subjective perspective, based on a relationship where the language of gratitude was decidedly a one-sided affair: neither appreciated nor reciprocated by the other.
I obviously don’t know your situation, knew even less before you mentioned ten years, and know less still about the situation of other people reading this conversation, so this was a general comment. We can sometimes miss the fact that other people have completely different interpretations of things that seem almost axiomatic to us.


Unless they have a matching personality, showing a lot of gratitude can easily turn unattractive to most people, because it often comes from a position of insecurity… Have a sense of measure even for gratitude is what I’m saying (but this is very much like a patient advising the doctor, because I’m very gratitude-heavy myself).
I think they’ve got low to medium tier jokes, but with excellent pacing and timing and without any fear of going into fantasy space. They kinda keep you hoping for a much funnier one, but yeah, they’re not knee-slappers.
This one is decent and pretty typical: https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/09/09/home-city-usa


There’s an in-browser game, a political simulation for Germany’s inter-war period from the point of view of the Social Democratic party (the biggest at the time, soon to be ousted by the Nazis): https://red-autumn.itch.io/social-democracy
You basically have to make lots of tough political and economic choices to try to slow down the explosive growth of the NSDAP party. It’s tough but very replayable.


Ok, so, regarding these ideas:
He made a step, perhaps a bit too long in a mistaken direction, but understanding didn’t and won’t stop with him. How everyone reacted to his theory was also part of the fault.


And you think this guy invented heart disease, then?


A dietitian who “established the link between cholesterol and heart disease, created K rations for the US military” and died in 2004 aged 100 is the world’s greatest villain for you?..
Visualize a clever joke. Then realize this is nothing like that and you will reach enlightenment.
Try instead visualizing a racist quip that someone that voted for Trump might enjoy.
“Retribution” is a common false friend (faux ami) in English-Spanish translation, where English speakers might mistakenly use retribución to mean punishment, whereas retribución actually means compensation, payment, or remuneration.
And Spanish is not the only language where “retribution” means remuneration. English is the weird one here.


Oof, I hope everything turns out great for you! (And since I just now noticed your username: thank you for everything you’ve been doing for us!)


Happy… bleedivus, I guess!
But seriously, I don’t think the AI was very wrong here, depending on how severe the bleeding was? Did the doctors say anything?


Oh god, the AIs are now training people…
Here’s a video: https://youtube.com/shorts/KfbCbYSebW0
Apparently if you cut it just once, off to one side instead of along the centerline, you then get intertwined strips right away. Things are weird: https://youtube.com/shorts/QmrIPBavH8o


GOOD recommend! Next time, I try Covid.
This is what you get if you cut a Möbius strip along its length. And if you were to cut it again now, you’d get two intertwined rings.


Yes, it’s guaranteed!
Oh, you said “not”…
Flicks light switch off.
Exactly. And journaling on paper is essentially useless. Ctr+F is the main reason to journal for me.
