I’d take Wolverine’s healing powers. I have a few chronic injuries that I wrestle with, and it would be amazing to be free of pain. I’d also be able to be reckless again like I was when I sustained said injuries. It would also be pretty cool to smoke cigars, inhaling them the whole time, eat 10 pounds of bacon each week, and other generally deadly behaviors that could be quite enjoyable.
Hold up. I never thought about it until just now, but aren’t Sith Lords basically supervillain caliber ninjas, in addition to being space wizards? How was Vader able to just pick him up and yeet him down that shaft? Couldn’t the Emperor have done like a double backflip with a triple gainer and then been like “AHA! Nice try, but foolish.” *Lightning bolts in your eyeballs! “Muahaha!”. Seriously? Why did he act like a helpless old man during that scene other than plot armor?
Turtle (also called American Turtle) was the world’s first submersible vessel with a documented record of use in combat. It was built in 1775 by American David Bushnell as a means of attaching explosive charges to ships in a harbor, for use against the Royal Navy during the American Revolutionary War.
That’s pretty ingenious. How long could it stay submerged? I’m guessing only a matter of minutes until the available air gave out? Or is that as deep as it could go? I’m guessing it could totally submerge because of the screw prop at the top.
Yes. When I search for a company name and their website is the first organic result, but they still bid on their own fucking name. I click that shit to cost them money for being stupid. That of course reinforces their marketing manager’s opinion that they’re doing a great job, but whatever. Waste all the money you want, I guess. It’s pretty ridiculous how inefficient big companies can be and still make massive amounts of money.
We’re going to win so much, you may even get tired of winning, and you’ll say, ‘Please, please, it’s too much winning! We can’t take it anymore! Mr. President, it’s too much!’ And I’ll say, ‘No, it isn’t! We have to keep winning! We have to win more!’"

It is amazing how much lighting has improved just during my lifetime, let alone since WWII. The best commonly available flashlight you could buy when I was a kid was a D cell maglight, with an incandescent bulb. Those were considered very bright back then. Compare one now to even a cheapo $5 LED flashlight from Walmart and there isn’t even a competition in lumens output. Sure, the maglight is still better made and has other features that make it nice, but the output from lights and their relative size has improved 1000% from when I was a kid. In my 20’s my friend had this massive pistol grip flashlight for off-roading that plugged into his cigarette lighter. The thing must have weighed 5 pounds. I have a little Rovyvon flashlight on my keychain now that weighs less than an ounce and it puts out more light than that pistol grip light did back then. Progress, baby!
People tip pizza guys a dollar? Man, we were tipping $5 back in the 90’s. I tip $10-$12 now. The dude just drove to my house and brought me pizza, he deserves some compensation.

Apparently if the majority of your camp supplies are alcohol, the game now gives you a hangover debuff after a long rest. Thankfully it doesn’t last very long, but that’s a fun little update.

I promise you that meth would cause far more problems if it was consumed anywhere near the frequency of alcohol. Anyone who has watched someone destroy their lives with meth knows just how dangerous and damaging it is. The scariest part is the speed at which it can happen. People destroy their lives with alcohol too, but it usually takes decades. I’ve watched people become hollow shells of their former selves, completely unrecognizable, and standing on death’s doorstep, within six months of their first usage of methamphetamine. It’s a destructive, dirty, dangerous drug.

I am looking for a way to play HDR content on Linux. From what I understand KDE 6 has experimental support for HDR, but isn’t available on Pop OS 22.04. Apparently Cosmic desktop will support HDR when it’s released, but I don’t know if the experimental version will....
Can you just follow the instructions from this page and change the package from KDE plasma to KDE 6? I installed KDE on Pop a while back and it worked fine before I went back to Gnome. But it was the version before 6. I think 6 might require another package that won’t be available in Pop until the next Ubuntu LTS version. If that’s the case then idk what to do other than change distros. Sorry.
Edit: if you feel like getting crazy, then you can try installing wiki.hyprland.org/Getting-Started/Installation/ but they acknowledge that it might have major issues in Pop. You could always switch to Arch or openSUSE if HDR is important enough to you.
