Diamond also has a very high refractive index and a relatively high optical dispersion.

‘Building more lanes will reduce traffic’ is a classic.

Rocket League is pretty great (pure kinoludo), but the best game mode (DropShot) has been sidelined by the devs repeatedly, even though it is the most unique and “easy to learn - hard to master” mode. There is also a lot of toxic players in the community, and the moderation is pretty slow and often lacking.

Dungeons of the Endless is an ideal way to drain yourself of excess executive function energy, but the steep learning curve means that you have little understanding of the trade-off decisions you are making until you’ve played and failed many times. It takes a while to understand the game, and it’s kind of a painful process for a while.

Musk has much more leverage to get what he wants from the west. Outside of the west he actually has to make deals.

Good post! Maybe I’ll actually get back into Armored Core 6 again with a bit of extra assistance. I was enjoying it quite a bit until I hit a difficulty wall and just stopped after bashing into it for a while.

The 1% at the top have chosen to maintain the current system for generations. They also have chosen to strangle any attempts to change the system whenever possible via immense violence.

jeezus this thing just started beeping like crazy

The fact that there is not a choice to just end the 1% makes this very
