High risk high reward I guess. And it varies a lot because some are super hard core with latin and all, and some are pretty relaxed with it

In theory you’re not supposed to have pre-marital sex (it probably happens all the time) and dating would tend to be more serious than casual. Going steady vs hooking up. So yeah I imagine having a relationship not work out carries more weight

But once you get past that you get a long lasting marriage, a family and all the positives that come with that

It’ll be a nice surprise for firefighters doing vehicle extrication

Okay so you want to use the online maps instead?

If that is the question I use Microsoft Earth as an underlay with the offline map. The slider can change the transparency as needed. It looks like this

This setup relies on the offline map data which is a downside for you. But I think you can do something similar with an online map tile overlay and sat underlay and not show offline data

Edit: I played around and you can make that work with online maps too. I used Microsoft Earth as an underlay and Cycle OSM as the primary map. This is what it looks like and the settings

Have you considered the Organic Maps app?

OSMand can be configured to do a lot of cool things and I use it a lot. But honestly if you don’t need all the bells and whistles OrganicMaps is a lot smoother to use by comparison

This guy knows what he’s talking about

Personally I get more of a reaction from smelling diesel exhaust and smoke at the same time

I’ve never associated dead people smells with food though.

I agree that trying to bring manufacturing capability is a huge deal. Economics aside people talk about private jets polluting like crazy, well every container ship belches smoke like the fucking fire navy. And there’s a lot of them

Speaking of the navy there’s a concerning amount of missile components that are subcontracted to chinese companies

But all that said if I was a company and I could hold out for 4 years I wouldn’t build facilities in the US. When the new admin comes in I bet they would remove tarrifs and those facilities become way less profitable

Say what you want about their morals but the music is a vibe

Most cell towers have generators but only about 2-3 days of fuel. So you might have ways to charge your phone but it might not have a network to connect to

You don’t need a cell signal to get a GPS location so having some offline maps like OrganicMaps or OSMand can still be useful

Thanks! To be fair I glossed over a LOT

Metal Gear Solid 2 plays out like this. Spoilers below but it came out in 2001 so whatever

The bad guy is a former President that knew his job was just as a figurehead, nothing more. He found out the hard way that even his orders came from a cutout.

He recruited “terrorists” to take the sitting President “hostage” so they could “force him” to detonate an EMP over the east coast. The plan is to dismantle the shadow government (actually AI) running the government/censoring public opinion and hopefully free the country

You play as the wide eyed idealistic special forces infiltrator, trained heavily through VR and sent to “rescue” the sitting President from the “terrorist leader” and learn that everything you know is wrong and you were given orders by the AI all along

You knew?

After a few failed tries I started doing a serious play to win run of XCom UFO Defense with OpenXCom. The game can seem daunting but it’s honestly pretty fun!

Then I looked into other open source games and got distracted big time by starting Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 for my first time EVER with OpenRCT2! I now fully understand the hype and it’s crazy that I haven’t played it sooner
