This could be really important for areas subject to drought conditions; I hope it’s widely applicable, but I read something years back about using something similar to make desertified areas fertile again and then haven’t seen anything about it being implemented since, so I’m not sure if this is the same thing just more developed or if it’s a new thing that could be game changing.

Ngl, the more this happens the more servicers are confused about what they should be collecting and from whom, and that’s actually a win for the borrowers (not as much of a win as this shit going through but still).

For example, due to the slew of challenges, I’m still on $0 repayment through October and don’t even have to certify income for that. And who knows if they will actually move forward with resuming charges for it; this is the second time it’s been delayed for me.

I hope the system does get thrown into complete chaos if it doesn’t all get forgiven or at least restructured. That would be better than people having to pay for worthless and/or overpriced degrees, and not being able to do shit with their lives.

Normally I’m not a fan of transparent background scrolling content (it’s obnoxious and a waste of space) but the little car was a cute touch. Entirely unnecessary, but cute.

He looks so pleased with himself. Good for him.

I have a collection of over 80k ebooks. I got most of them in huge download packs decades ago, and removed duplicates. it’s a surprisingly small folder.

I did the math on it long ago and it would take more than 200 years, reading an average of one full book a day, every day, to get through them all.

So I’m happy just knowing that if I get through some of them, it’s better than none of them. Time is limited, make the most of it by doing what sparks joy, and not worrying about what you didn’t get to.

Lawyers say these policies violate Amendment A, which was approved by Colorado voters in 2018 and bans the state from “engaging in slavery or involuntary servitude” under any circumstances.

Valerie Collins, an attorney from Towards Justice, said the case isn’t about prohibiting all prison labor.

“All our clients are demanding is that the state stops forcing people to work,” she said, in a statement. “The state could remedy these constitutional violations today if it wanted to.”

Idk kinda sounds like they do.

… how, though, actually? Like fr fr, tell me how to do this.

You say stylized, but it’s the same thing. The posture on the right isn’t even possible for humans.

I stand by what I said tho, the realism did a lot more for the series than “stylized” would have.

I’m glad they went with the more realistic and less sexified version. Aloy is an absolute gem of a character, and having her be less of a normal person wouldn’t have fit nearly as well with the overall vibe.

(That said I’m not sure how to feel about the Lego version..)

You absolutely must, if you own such a gem, refer to it as the peamobile. Both because it is gloriously whimsical, perfectly matching the aesthetic of the vehicle, and because it just sounds fun in that funny innuendo sort of way.

And a little light ball, like a reflection off a watch face, that sometimes appears that just randomly moves around and, importantly, can be “caught” (as in has a physical presence, sometimes).

Oh, yeah no it’s not the cable, it’s the receiving port on the device itself. Sorry for the confusion :)
