The Dune books have a lot of material on that subject

It looks cool, and it turns out through a quirk of physics that looking cool makes things fly faster

It doesn’t bother me, but my wife absolutely hates the feeling of terry cloth. Apparently that is common for people with ADHD (which she has) and autism. The main area I can relate is microfiber towels. I think those feel terrible. It’s like I can feel the strands catching on each skin cell.

My cat: “What about the CHEEKS??”

If I hadn’t personally seen this on the internet almost 20 years ago, I would assume it’s AI generated because of how weird it is.

I’m sure Nedjem’s owner would be infinitely amused that their cat is being discussed 3500 years later

Your aim would help us to need this room clean

Not 100% sure this would work, but what I’d try is to create a new save within the game on the emulator (using the game’s functionality, not a savestate) and shut down the emulator. Then find the resulting save file and replace it with the file from the physical cart, giving it the same file name as the file you’re replacing. The emulator should automatically find that and load it when you start up the game.

As someone who listens to both: because they’re fun

They should make a banana case case so that you can keep your banana case from getting dirty too

I’m not a cartographer, but the way I’d tackle this is to drill a small hole in the globe and spray paint in through it, so that the inner surface is opaque white. Then I would put together a cheap turntable-style 3D scanner using an off-the-shelf camera (there are open source designs available for this that you can buy as a kit or print using a 3D printer, then assemble following step-by-step instructions). Then, after scanning the globe and obtaining a textured 3D model of it, it should be relatively easy to convert the globe’s texture from a spherical shape to a standard map projection using software. I don’t know what software that would be offhand, but I’m sure it exists.

How about “a robot must have complete loyalty to its owner, even if this is not in the best interests of its manufacturer”. Fat chance, I know.

According to the page, that’s using an imaginary unit called “international dollars” (which I just learned exists), which is used for comparing countries’ economies. It doesn’t reflect the real amount in US dollars. In US dollars the median US salary is just under $60,000. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/wkyeng.pdf

On mine it appears to be a regular setting under the display options called “camera cutout”. I do have developer options enabled though, so maybe that doesn’t appear for people who don’t.

Android (or at least my Galaxy) has a setting that lets you disable the portion of the screen where the notch is, which makes it essentially identical to a phone with no notch.

So do you have an alternative in mind, or are you just arguing that we shouldn’t read?

Definitely one of my least favorite aspects of them. Everyone must get a backstory, and they must all be interrelated. The galaxy’s a small place apparently.

I always struggled yanking the legs over my shoes. Sometimes they’d get so stuck that I thought I might have to cut them off my foot. I could’ve taken my shoes off first, but that would’ve been more steps.
