Hate or love Nintendo, you gotta admit Mario Odyssey was a fucking good game; but I’m a sucker for 3D platformers. Personally, I hate Nintendo, but love Mario and Zelda and such, so it’s a complicated relationship for me. Like sleeping with your toxic ex every couple of years and then remembering why you left them.
I’m hoping to get a VR set at some point, but I’ve heard it’s difficult to get working on Linux so I’ve been putting it off. Maybe once the steam frame exists. I looked at the Valve index but it currently costs $4,000 in my country which is insane lol
I have a nice display cabinet for all my pretty rocks. Got them really cheap at an epic hippie crystal joint. The store was full of stones. They’re not “jewellery grade”, but they still look great and people ask about them. Fuck yeah I love rocks.
I’m probably committing some spiritual crime by putting the citrine next to my amethyst and emerald. I didn’t memorise the instruction manual though.
Euro truck simulator is the closest game I’ve played in that genre. Sometimes I just want to do something with my hands and turn my brain off for a while, and playing a “boring” game is pretty good for that. Think of it like watching re-runs of familiar shows. Sometimes I play House Flipper as well, literally just painting walls and mowing the lawn lol
It’s fucking gross.
I always wipe down every seat with enough toilet paper I feel like I’m not going to directly touch any pee. It’s just an ingrained habit from decades of living with people who like their toilet seats cold, moist, and yellow.
My least favourite is when it seems like they didn’t even pull back the foreskin or something, and just completely cover the entire toilet, seat, and floor, with a fine spray of urine. Lovely. I wipe down everything with like 20 squares of tp and then wash my hands before even doing my business.
Yes, this is normal in China; it’s only a problem for tourists at the start. Not saying it’s a good system, just that this is how it’s done over there. “When in Rome” and all that. For example, there’s toilets you can only access by using the WeChat app, and if you make a mess, they can track you down and fine you. It’s more like “your entire digital existence” rather than"just an app."
When I visited Japan, I thought it was cool that you could buy food, drink, and pretty much anything with your train card. The down side is that I now have a bunch of money permanently trapped in that card lol
Just as an anecdote, I wrote professional medical software that people purchased. At one point there was a browser API change that would negatively affect customers in a critical workflow, I forget the specifics. I think it had something to do with file uploads. Anyway, I worked around this by creating a small browser extension that people could install that would restore previous functionality.
Less than 0.01% of customers installed it. Maybe 10 people. Not even the loudest complainers installed it. It was a massive waste of time.
In the post mortum, we discovered that it’s a complicated and strange process for average people to install an extension at all. They have no experience with it, and they don’t know how to do it, and they didn’t want to do it. It’s not like installing an app, which is a more familiar process.
The only analogue I can think of in a similar situation is something like Steam Inventory Helper which is widely used with over a million users. But the demographic is vastly different, these people are PC gamers and used to modding files and such.
So really it depends on your demographic, and whether you truly need it. Just realise it will be a great filter.
$10 an hour still seems really good though right? I’m not sure how much Airlines pay currently for fuel though.
Only article I could find was this: https://flyinginsight.com/2026/02/14/how-much-does-it-cost-to-fuel-an-airplane/
On average, a 737 or A320 consumes between 2,500 and 3,000 litres of fuel per hour
Take a typical two-hour flight, such as Amsterdam to Barcelona. The total fuel burn would be approximately 5,500 litres. At a reference price of $0.59 per litre, that translates to around $3,200 in fuel costs.
So that’s $10 an hour down from $1600 an hour? Seems decent.
Anecdotally, all our young family members don’t trust A.I. at all.
Once, I asked it a question as a joke, (I think it was about "Labubu"s or something I’m out of touch about); they told me it sounds like fake news 😂. I asked the tool if we could trust it, and it said something like “no, don’t trust me”, which was hilarious.
I think kids these days have a good bullshit detector, by necessity.
