NodeCore is another great Minetest game. I haven’t been able to find a game that matches the feeling of discovery it provides as you learn about the rules of the world.
This isn’t really a Windows vs Linux issue as far as I’m aware. It was a bad driver update made by a third party. I don’t see why Linux couldn’t suffer from the same kind of issue.
We should dunk on Windows for Windows specific flaws. Like how Windows won’t let me reinstall a corrupted Windows Store library file because admins can’t be trusted to manage Microsoft components on their own machine.
All EVs come with Level 1 chargers that plug in to your standard house outlet, NEMA 5-15R. If there’s an outlet nearby you can charge your car.
That can still be difficult for apartment renters, but there’s no need to modify your house.
It’s the wind turbines knocking the water out of the sky!
I’ll give you a hint: Arr!

They just said that to “drive engagement”.
Amtrak is a federally chartered corporation, operated and managed as a for-profit company, but with the U.S. government as its controlling shareholder. The Amtrak Board of Directors are appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. https://www.amtrak.com/stakeholder-faqs
I’d consider it state capitalism. A private for-profit company owns the means of production/capital but that company is government owned.
That being said though, I don’t think its fair to blame Amtrak being a private company as the reason Amtrak has high prices. Amtrak is at the mercy of freight rail as Amtrak only owns 3% of the rails they operate on. They pretty much have to pay whatever the freight companies say and freight is given preference over passenger trains. Amtrak has never made a profit since its creation.
Not 100%. Amtrak’s FY2022 fact sheet says that 72.6% of miles driven was on tracks owned by other railroads. That doesn’t tell us how much rail they own, but they do own some of their own rail.
Not only does it mean higher prices, but worse service because they have to rely on freight companies to maintain their rails properly and preference is given to freight leading to passenger delays.
Edit: Found a better source.
Ninety-seven percent of the route-miles traveled by Amtrak trains are on tracks owned by other railroads.
I would guess because Amtrak isn’t being subsidized enough. A lot of government money is spent on building and maintaining roads. If the consumer had to pay for that directly in the form of toll roads instead of through taxes then Amtrak would be much more competitive.
Am I the only one who lays a towel out on the floor in front of the shower? This thread has me thinking what I thought was standard practice might not be.

This is from the game Democratic Socialism Simulator. It’s a fun game and I recommend you give it a try.
Bed adhesion, nozzle clogging, inconsistent extrusion. It was always some issue and it was difficult to figure out the root cause. I kept buying better parts to try and fix things but at some point I decided to cut my losses. Truthfully I don’t know if it was my fault or the printer’s.
It’s comforting to know I’m not alone. My Ender3 was a money sink that just kept getting worse. I have no idea why they’re praised so commonly.
Yeah, that’s why they want change.
It’s funny, because two male electrical plugs will still pass electricity fine if you put them together.
Considering how thick that ice is and how fast it’s moving, this is actually pretty terrifying.
It’s really cool to see in real time an example of how a glacier can erode the terrain though.
We just got vertical align last month. There’s so many things they should be working on but are too busy trying to add more ads or monetization features.
I think the web is just too long in the tooth at this point but there’s nothing we can do.
