I'm just curious because I've made some jokes in a thread about snipers before and I wonder if that triggered anything. But now with this article I realize that even if that one didn't, my recent comment "I wish I could know if I have ever been investigated by the FBI" might have. And if neither did, then maybe this new one might.

Crap, I might go as well and say "hey FBI, investigate me". So that I can now be sure.

...unless Lemmy is still out of their automatic tools?

I considered adding more to the joke here but got afraid it would be going too far. I think I'll write a short story about someone who gets so paranoid about knowing if he's on the FBI list or not that they end up actually doing some terrorism act just to be sure they are.

In my head this scene was my own idea so unless I completely forgot about it (which would not surprise me) it wasn't

Fun fact; Hitler is in the good place.

... It was a technicality.

Flashback:

Architect: "man this Hitler dude is so awful, whoever kills him goes to the good place, no questions asked."

I don't know much about rivers but based on the floods we had here in Brazil early this year, I don't think that house will be there by the end of the century.

If I understood correctly is demanding payments from WP Engine for offering competing services using wordpress.

I was making a source-available farm game around the same time that stardew valley came out. Worked on it for about 7 years total mostly on my free time from work. Shortly after SV came out I got a ton of hate from its new fans because I was "stealing from ConcernedApe" and stuff like that. I ended up giving up on the project after a while. And now these days pretty much every rpg has farm mechanics on it.

That's not my experience with steam at all. Only one or two options of the steam store tend to show AAA games over indie games. If you browse by category or using the dynamic recommendation you'll see plenty of good games.

I wouldn't mind a fighter with the range of a bomber. I end up never using fighters unless I'm being invaded because of its short range, but the initial biplanes can only be remodeled into fighters so I'll end up having a couple of them every time. I still need to give the P-51 mustang a try, they seem to have a slightly better range.

Ok that may take a few years.

With Climate Change we'll eventually run out of names. Unless Hurricane Karen manages to be the one that kills everyone before that happens.

Not necessarily. They might just be able to choose the strength at will and decided not to start out with the max output back with Katrina.

 

Anything exciting going on in your field of work this year? Or breakthroughs in science, new technologies developed, things like that.

Some news that would be completely mundane today but scary or shocking in the past.
