I’m quite depressed. I think the world I live in makes me depressed. I would take a treatment that made me not care about dismal and grim things, if that would make me stop feeling so much pain.

This is really interesting - could you share a source on how Valve/Icefrog make balancing decisions?

Further, provide documentation and support for, and sell spare parts to, users who want to fix their consoles (at least, in the case of procedures that a user could reasonably perform)

I'm a home bicycle mechanic, and all manufacturers of bike components do this.

Hi! What's the best way to get in touch about the junior engineering role?

This is a straw man. There are absolutely people who are concerned about both overpopulation, and individual overconsumption.

I am one. I limit my personal carbon footprint. I do not own a car (and hopefully never will). I rarely eat meat. I live in a cheap, inefficient apartment because I'm living on a student income, but I keep the heat low to try to limit my energy consumption.

I probably won't have kids, because it wouldn't be consistent with my concerns about climate change to bring another high-consuming American into the world.

Lots of interesting news this morning from Blue Origin's normally quiet press room. Also of note is a series of videos showing progress at their Cape Canaveral rocket factory & launch facility:

The stage 1 simulator, and integration & test facilities: https://twitter.com/blueorigin/status/1364968313047162880?s=...

"Tank Cleaning and Testing" facility: https://twitter.com/blueorigin/status/1364968720364429317?s=...

Launch Complex 36: https://twitter.com/blueorigin/status/1364969291746074628?s=...

It's exciting to see BO making progress on their campaign to catch SpaceX in the commercial launch space. I'm curious whether the slow, deliberative approach they show here will pay off in reliability, ability to scale, etc once they start putting kgs in orbit.

I rode the whole TransVA 550 this summer. The route is beautiful, breathtakingly rugged. And logistics couldn't have been easier, as the route is very well planned, with great resupply points, camping, water, etc.

It made for a fantastic introduction to real backcountry touring.

Mine has an additional tell in the printing on the face: a tiny, precise U under the word RESIST. On fakes, which are usually poorly printed, the U is much bigger.

If you're getting rid of something and it doesn't seem worth selling, give it away. Platforms like Craigslist and Facebook marketplace are great for this. ime you'll find a taker for anything that's not complete junk.
