  • Especially if you’re away from the cost, it’s all the worst parts of tropical temperatures without an ounce of the good.

    The high right now is 99, the feels like is 109, and having just come inside, there’s just enough breeze right now to piss you off rather than cool you. We have an extreme heat warning from now until the fuckin 3rd, and a lot of us have zero legal protection from working outside in this God forsaken heat.

    I’ve been hearing of some local construction crews threatening the bosses if they have to go outside in this heat, and I know many people in my industry are currently quitting because our northern us based corporate overlords decided this week to get a stick up their ass about uniforms, insisting upon heavy ass cargo pants, a thick cotton undershirt, an even thicker polo, and the most unnecessarily heavy duty safety vest. My crew of 10 lost 2 people this week because they refused to go out in this bullshit wearing all that. The rest of us also refused, but corporate made an example out of them.

    That being said, Louisiana is still worse. And I’d argue most of Alabama.







  • You may need to limit the number of cores you’re giving the game. According to Proton DB, it’s got a gold rating on Linux

    I’d try adding --cores 4 to your launch options and reducing it from there if you have issues still. Also seems like Proton 10.0-3 is the ideal version.

    If you need assistance getting those setup:

    1. In your steam library, right click on Cosmoteer in your games list and click on properties

    2. Under Compatibility, make sure Force Use of Specific Compatibility Tool is checked. Select Proton 10.0-3 as your Proton version. If you haven’t used that version on a game before, it may need to download and that’ll take a bit, which is why I’m having you do this first.

    3. Under the first section in properties (I’m typing this all from memory, apologies), there should be a section that says launch options. In that text box, type %command% --cores 4

    4. Launch the game. If it works, great! If not, try reducing the number after --cores in your launch options to 2. If it continues not working, try switching to Proton experimental. If it continues not working, I’m out of ideas unfortunately.



  • God that thing looks like it could be found in one of those toy sets you only ever see at the zoo. I love it!

    I also really hope that joke isn’t too niche…

    But God damn you know some engineer was proud of that anti leak at attitudes feature. You know some guy with a slide role figured that crap out with pencil and paper over the course of days. Absolutely love it

    The first one you posted is definitely peak action sci-fi. It’s movie would star Arnold or someone similar. The second is some Last Starfighter, post Star Trek, pre Star Wars cheese flick

    It’s required, but ask any servers you know how often that actually happens. Last restaurant my friend worked at would carry over tips from previous days in their books so it’d look like they made exactly 7.25 an hour every time. Only reason they got caught is because they always made it exactly 7.25 an hour on those days.

    They got a meager fine and were told to pay the money back. They filled for bankruptcy rather than pay out like $4000 in back pay. If you or I had stolen $4000, we’d be in prison. A business does it and it’s a slap on the wrist and a quick bankruptcy and reopening under a new name
