Uni also gives you projects to work on where you can apply what you’ve learned within a specific context. I know if I just have a vague goal like “learn how git works”, and I read through a bunch of documentation, I will retain almost none of it.

The description of Tutanota as an “online encryption service” is kind of weird, it’s an encrypted email service. I guess that’s splitting hairs though.
I use Tutanota myself but I’m in the process of moving off it, not because of security concerns but because the developers are aggressively full-on about security to the point where certain features (search, & interoperability with other clients primarily) are actually hamstrung. So the claim about them being part of some government intelligence apparatus seems somewhat unbelievable to me. But hey, if it’s true then I’m extra glad I’m moving off it.
Yeah, agreed. Although to me it all comes across like shoddy reporting of a dubious source, this is a pretty big blow to Tutanota’s rep whether it’s true or not. It’s hard to wash off the stink of something like this after it’s been disseminated to the public.
A Florida judge found "reasonable evidence" that Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk and other managers knew the automaker's vehicles had a defective Autopilot system but still allowed the cars to be driven unsafely, according to a ruling.
The 1 billion termination fee only applied in very specific circumstances. He couldn’t just choose to pay it because he didn’t want to go ahead with the purchase.
Edit: Well, to be clear he actually he could decide to pay 1 billion and walk away but he would be opening himself up to a multi-billion dollar lawsuit from Twitter for breaking the contract.
Love songs aren’t only for soft rock FM stations – they’re also used by romantic bats, and researchers at Texas A&M University and the University of Texas at Austin are believed to be the first to decode the mysterious love sounds made by the winged creatures.

I had this happen on a 17 or so hour flight from Canada to Australia. I wasn’t even paying attention and only realised I still had the entire middle row free as the plane started taxiing. It was glorious.
So far just coffee for me but made the avocado pit orgeat, and have tepache and ginger beer (both house fermented) so thinking to make something with tepache & the orgeat. There’s still pineapple juice too. Alternatively, I also rinsed out a jar of guava jam with the end of the vodka and cachaca so might use that for...
I’m drinking this tonight, except I only have cranberry/grape juice which is kind of sweet, so I left out the simple syrup. It turned out really great actually, not too sweet and quite well balanced.
I feel this. I’m still in the first act and taking my time, but I’ve already lost Gale because I accidentally selected the option to not give him a magical item to consume after he asked a second time - I said I would, and then when I went into the selection menu I realized I couldn’t give him the item I intended, so I backed out and he said fuck you and left. So that’s great for me. Maybe he’ll come back later but then again maybe not. So that’s a whole character I don’t have any more because of an accident.
Oh, and I also never got Lazel because I never went to the area where she was captured until much later and she wasn’t there any more. I did find her (before that, funnily enough) as part of the cut scene with the Githyanki near the bridge but I didn’t know she was a playable character, plus she acted like an enemy and I was really low level and got destroyed so I had to reload. So that’s another character I don’t have and may never get, although I’ll have to go back now that I’m a higher level and see what happens.
My point is that it’s really easy to miss out on large parts of the game due to random or accidental decisions, so I do understand people who find the experience off-putting. Still, I’ve been lucky to have enough free time to be able to play through with my wife so I’ve been able to avoid a lot of the stuff I fucked up in my solo game, and I personally love the game despite the experiences I outlined above.
/r/movies has always had tons of those generic hidden/underrated gem/actor threads about huge blockbuster films that everyone has seen. It’s in no way a new phenomenon. The /r/moviescirclejerk subreddit has existed for years, and lives off those posts.
I’m sorry, beer is beer, whether micro or macro. Filtering is basically irrelevant to the kind of bacteria mentioned in the article, and plenty of craft beers are filtered in exactly the same way as commercial beers. And I say all this as someone who both enjoys beer and home brews it.
I love that whenever a long lost obscure/novelty music video gets posted on the internet, more often than not it’s from Rage. What an institution. I’m so glad I grew up watching it till the wee hours of the morning.
