Why No One Will Get Fired Over ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’
  • Same. It's not a bad film. It is a fairly logical progression from the first movie. I was actually surprised it wasn't more fantastical. There were several points where they could have escalated to a city wide musical caper, but they kept it grounded.

  • She bought $20k worth of scooters 3 years ago for her small business. Now, the City of Tempe is pumping the brakes.
  • Boyce-Jones was willing to pay the $8,814 application fee and $1.18 per scooter per day charge that came with the SATV permit, but there was a problem. The permit requires electric scooters to have GPS monitoring and data sharing capabilities as well as self-locking mechanisms.

    That seems absurd. What other data needs to be shared? It's like the rules were written by a scooter startup.

  • As Helldivers 2 struggles after the new update, Arrowhead's CEO promises fixes while also expressing disappointment in how it's performed.
  • I've been happy with the update, but I also rarely use the flamethrower or incendiary breaker. I normally play on 7s and my friends that use the incendiary said they are mostly fine in groups, but soloing objectives is harder.

    The flamethrower change made chargers harder... But I prefer rocket pods for them anyway.

  • It's Friday - What are your plans for the week-end?
  • Might go to a bar crawl. Finishing Ticket to Ride: Legacy. Watching the new Bad Boys movie (I've never actually watched the previous ones). Then I might see Vampire Weekend if I can still get a decent ticket.

  • Just so you're clear on what we're about to watch...
  • I've seen the Charlton Heston one, and the 2001 Mark Wahlberg one. The original was obviously better. I hadn't seen any of the current cycle until I saw Kingdom last weekend. It was fine.

    I listened to a recap of the previous 3 films and it didn't matter. Kingdom takes place "many generations" after the third movie so all the other characters are dead. Kingdom's story works fine as a standalone film. It's not amazing, but there's nothing particularly awful about it. Now I'll probably see the next couple, but they're not high on my list.

  • Scientists Use Ultrasound to Make Cold Brew Coffee in 3 Minutes Instead of 24 Hours
  • From the paper.

    Ultrasounds accelerate extraction processes due to acoustic cavitation [8], [9]. When acoustic bubbles, also called inertial bubbles, collapse near solid materials, such as coffee grounds, they generate micro-jets with the force to fracture the cell walls of plant tissues, intensifying the extraction of the intracellular content [10].

    Seems more involved than just aggressive stirring.

  • [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - May 2024
  • Heist has a story and preset levels. Each level is usually a different ship you have to board and clear. They're all connected by a sort of star map. The objectives for each level are preset. Though, the level layouts may be generated. I've rerun a couple and I remember the layouts being a bit different.

    SteamWorld Dig 1&2 are platformers. I really enjoyed them. The gameplay for Heist is different but it still feels like the same quality.

  • How do you store your grounded coffee?
  • I store mine in a plastic container with an air tight seal. I prefer to use fresh grounds, but my grinder seems more consistent with higher volume. I usually grind 2-3 brews worth at time.

  • Steam World: Heist. Tactical turn based shooter. Somewhere between Worms and X-Com, definitely on the lighter side. It's the same vibe as Steam World 1 and 2, but now the cowboy robots are in space. It's perfect for the Deck and easy to pick up for a few minutes at lunch or in between meetings.

  • Dogmeat rule of thumb
  • It's both. In episode 1 someone asks the cowboy actor to "do the thumbs up". Later, the actor explains the mushroom safety part to his daughter. In episode 3 there is another flashback where the cowboy actor does a photoshoot for Vault-Tec. He asks the photographer "what if I try a thumbs up?"

  • What are you brewing this week? April 2024
  • A medium roast from Costa Rica. I'm using my small Chemex and I'm still dialing in the grind size. It's brewing faster than a few weeks ago so I went finer. It's at about a 3 minute brew, but still has a light mix of sour and bitterness.

    I'm behind on using my subscription coffee so I started a batch of cold brew last night with the last 75 grams. Hopefully it turns out well.

  • Can the notification settings be changed automatically?

    I often forget to turn off sleep mode. Is there a way to change the notification settings on a schedule?
