same for me with SG-1 and Atlantis. I’ve also watched SGU a couple times. I really liked where they were going with that show and wish it would have continued. I check every once in a while for news of new series or movies. Sometimes I’ll see things that sound interesting and then for some reason it never happens. Recently there is this: gateworld.net/…/fourth-stargate-series-would-intr… I’d watch it!
edit: not as recent as I thought, that was last July… but still would be interesting
Maybe? There are a lot of them and the quality varies depending on the book. You can't go wrong with the original Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn. Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and Last Command were considered the unofficial sequel trilogy by some fans and they started off the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe, which got rebranded to the Legends continuity when Disney took over. Besides the Thrawn Trilogy, I'd also recommend the Revenge of the Sith novelization. I went in not expecting much, but it really expands on a lot of things the movie brushes over, and witnessing Anakin's story from his viewpoint was a lot more compelling than what we got in the movie. From there, it really depends on what you want to read about. The Star Wars book finder is a neat tool that lets you search by author, topic, or genre if you're looking for something specific.
American cheese is just normal, cheddar style cheese but with the addition of some sodium citrate.
Sodium citrate is a fun little food chemical that give the cheese a slight citrus bite, but more importantly acts as an emulsifier. It keeps the oil and water inside the cheese bonded together. This means the cheese melts and then never becomes greasy.
You can abuse this. You can make a super creamy cheese sauce for a higher brow mac and cheese by using some shredded cheese, a couple slices of American, and a few splashes of the pasta water.
The problem with peer to peer is that it would require you to have stuff saved on your device and my sister can’t even keep her phone “empty enough” with 256GB so I think local “hubs” is the better right now.
Isn’t it essentially similar to the dark net that has been going like that successfully since forever ?
With distributed hash tables it is manageable. You do something like “store three copies on three peers” and as long as one of them is online the post is accessible. This is actually better than the way lemmy does it now. In principle each lemmy server stores the posts from its communities, and a copy of each post from communities its users are subscribed to. But since all instances are federated so well, in practice each of the 1000 lemmy instances stores a copy of almost every post ever made. That’s like 100GB x1000. With a DHT, the amount of space used on each user’s device is on average the amount of posts one user makes x3, no more.
Storage is cheap but most of the instance operators that are setting up right now aren’t prepared for how much storage they’re going to need and it’s associate costs. I’m not talking the big boys like .World, but the hundreds of private and semi-private instances being set up on $12/mo VPS and such.
After 30 days of running my single user instance I’m at 23GB of storage. Since I’m using on prem equipment I have the lowest cost per GB possible and am not the least concerned. We’re going to see a ton of attrition with hosted instances as the costs of ownership goes from 10, to 20, to 40, to $50+/mo. due to storage. Many aren’t in anyway prepared to tackle the topic of moving PICTRS off to object storage or engage in other mitigations.
Yeah, at 7k+ hours, my Dota time dunks on pretty much 90% of the people in this thread. And I’m still not tired of it. It’s a daily ritual type of game.
Thing is, the time I put isn’t even close to the time of several of the people I’ve met.
There are two games that I have spent a considerable amount of my life playing Planetside 2 and Path of Exile.
Planetside 2 released it was exactly the game that I was looking for. The experience of playing in an organised outfit was the best multiplayer gaming I’ve ever experienced.
Path of Exile is like a sledgehammer of a learning curve. Never had played an ARPG before this but once I got to maps my soul was taken indeed.
Before this left4dead 2 was the game that I had suck many hours into - what a game!
Me: Suffers from severe depression and anxiety as a teen
My family: You’re just gonna have to deal with it!
They’ve since gotten my brother treatment for the exact same thing. Meanwhile, I’m still severely depressed and totally untreated because I can’t fucking afford it.
I’ve used aliexpress for bootleg lego and have had mixed results. Some sets were perfect copies with all pieces, and others were missing some. I was also able to get some discontinued sets which was nice. The quality of the pieces themselves were pretty good. It is a bit of a risk but hard to beat the price as its wayyyy cheaper.
