Looks like we can't count Mark Zuckerberg out just yet: Facebook's market cap grew by $200 billion. (Yahoo Finance)

Infinite Craft is a fun little word-based crafting game. (Neal.Fun)

You start with four words: Water, Fire, Wind, and Earth, and from there you have to create everything, by dragging words from the right onto the main screen and then on top of other words.

Some things are simple and obvious: Water + Fire = Steam.

Others are more subtle: Snake + Death = Cleopatra, and Moses + Barbecue = Burning Bush.

Still others are way out there: Behead + Reincarnation = Chicken.

If you get a word or phrase that no-one has ever found before, it shows up with a "First Discovery" tag. I'm proud to be the first to discover Gnorc - the creatures from the game Spyro the Dragon - and The Amazing Surfing Nun On Fire.
Another day, another recall. Today it's the Bambu Ai 3d printer. (Tom's Hardware)

This one can short circuit and deincarnate your chicken, so best do as they say.
Running your Ryzen 8700G with DDR5-10346 RAM can improve performance even more. (WCCFTech)

Seriously just buy a video card if you're that concerned about performance.
Maybe Nvidia's "new" 6GB RTX 3050. (WCCFTech)

When I first saw this, I thought, oh, did they take the 3060, halve the RAM, maybe downclock it a bit, but keep the 192-bit memory bus, and sell it at a cheaper price?

Because that would make a decent card.

No. They did not do that.

They took the 3050, which had a 128-bit memory bus, and reduced it to 96 bits.

That does not make a decent card... But is still faster than the built-in graphics on a Radeon 8700G. After all, it has about 50% more memory bandwidth (graphics card RAM runs about twice as fast as CPU RAM) and doesn't need to share it with the CPU.
Google is officially killing its cached pages feature in search results - about five years after it stopped working. (Tom's Hardware)

It's a bit like Ford announcing it is planning to stop selling the Edsel. In 2024.

I happened to watch a particular rabbit's stream last night. Or should I say a small part.

It had come on in the background and I wasn't paying particular attention and only noticed when she started yelling out word random word combinations over and over again. I dunno on this one. Kind of like watching someone do a crossword puzzle.

25 I think there used to be an App like Infinite Craft. Pretty much the same thing, but with actual graphics. I wanna say it was Alchemy, or something with Alchemy in the title.

Im now on the search for a good time killer app. I used to play Final Fantasy Record Keepers, but that shut down. Then Dragon Quest Tact.... which is now shutting down.

Hopefully something similar comes along that you don't have to pay money to enjoy. That or something similar to the old Age of Empires games

My son is apparently one of the few young men who actually takes out books. and they sometimes chat about books. Anyway, his reply got snowed under a lot of spam before I found it. We had a nice e-mail conversation about how we have too many books and need to cull some or our poor kids will have to deal with them.

48 I think somebody posted this a few days ago here about some "scholar" giving courses at an Episcopal Church as an outreach to the LBGT community. One was about Joseph and his many colored coat- a story of being non binary. Another one was about the Sapphic support of Naomi and Ruth. Uhhh, No! Joseph wasn't non binary and Naomi and Ruth were mother in law and daughter in law. It is not about lesbians. What a disgrace to Biblical scholarship!

Because he is a lying lier, what lies.

It's what they do.

Plus it was nice how he moved the discussion to failing to tell the President about his diagnosis.

The real issue was his being under the knife, out of pocket, and unable to fulfill his duties.

And his subordinate not being provided with all the gear/comms and stuff that he has at his disposal when he is awake and going about his day to day role.

103 These extra costs are linked to a growing problem with Britain’s outdated electricity network: On blustery days, too much wind power risks overloading the system, and the grid operator must respond by paying some firms not to generate.

124 The winning 2018 DARPA bid – for a project called PREEMPT – was led by Dr. Vincent Munster (pictured above) based at Anthony Fauci’s NIH Rocky Mountain Lab. Both Munster’s PREEMPT proposal and Baric’s losing DEFUSE project had the same basic idea: to try to prevent a (hypothetical) future pandemic by using an engineered virus to vaccinate the bats from which it is believed such a virus was likely to spill over. The idea being, of course, that the vaccinated bats would no longer be a reservoir for the virus, thus ‘defusing’ or ‘preempting’ the zoonotic spillover.

Which is convenient, I guess. Except for users who are interested in your services and who want to read or contact you about your services and are met with a "if you'd like to see this page you have to join facebook. Go on, everyone is doing it. When you sign up you can give us access to all of your contacts and other information to make your experience easier!" message instead of details about the business.

I get that it's easy and humans are lazy, but it drive me away.

I also assume Facebook is the one making all of the money from the ads that appear when people visit your page for your business, which is comical.

163 There was a total of 40 393 severe COVID-19 outcomes in the cohorts, with 14 156 of these in undervaccinated participants. We estimated the reduction in severe COVID-19 outcomes in the UK over 4 months of follow-up associated with a counterfactual scenario in which everyone was fully vaccinated on June 1, 2022 as 210 (95% CI 94–326) in the 5–15 years age group.

So 210/40393=0.0051.

One Half of one percent of 5 to 15 YO had severe COVID.
But that number includes approx Two thirds that we fully vaccinated and most likely even boosted.

183 There's a couple Facebook Groups I follow. One allows members to post questions about LE and EMS activity in my country. Members have scanners and if there's some sort of accident or LE is massed somewhere I'll usually find out what's going on there. Some members happen to be at the location, or witnessed a crime or whatever. It's usually accurate and without rumors.

The other groups I follow tend to be hobby specific or local to the immediate area. Some is just gossip. But I know more about what's going on in the local community than I'd otherwise know by looking at "newz" sites.

I personally know two families with adult brothers and sisters, the oldest of the lines, who aren't on speaking terms because of social media. They'll die without loving on the only family they've got left for the last decades of their lives because someone thumbs-upped or didn't respond to something.

Social media is a cancer. I halfway wonder if that wasn't the point, same as we saw with the feds pushing the psy-war to pit families against families over COVID.

I have one hell of a FB story I might write about some day. Like Muldoon, who may never know the answer, I may neither. Unless someone decides to have a death bed confession.

Death bed confessions used to get a lot of play in movies ages ago. Not so much anymore. I guess people aren't worried about going to meet their maker with a lie on their conscience.

215 biden and food prices. He's delusional. 2 examples of how crazy it's gotten and I don't expect the prices to go back to where they were. Columbo Italian salami, had been 5.99 now 10.98. Rao frozen meatballs in marinara had been 8.99 now 16.99 The salami has been a favorite for cocktail hour and the meatballs were very convenient on a busy day for a quick meal, both delicious. Can I afford them, yes. Will I pay these prices, no. Companies do not raise prices like this in a thriving market for profit, they raise prices because they have to due to overhead in what we have now, an inflationary market. joe is asshole.

Fake eyelashes are a thing now. Apparently 'Mob Boss Wife' is the hot new trend for women. I kid you not.

My wife uses them and loves the look. People compliment her all the time. It takes some practice to get down the whole attaching them thing, but they do work.

222 Had farcebook for a while, but bailed. Got too depressing after a while with all the damn politics.

Think my account is inactive -- did what I could to kill it -- but it's probably still live somewhere in the dungeons of Zuckerberg Castle. Not that it matters, because I haven't been logged into it in years.

The businesses and city offices that do everything through farcebook annoy me, though. If you can at least see the info you need without logging in, fine. But there are some who don't seem to understand that not everyone uses it.

232 Sorry rhennigantx. My wife is the Facebook maven. I just see the results. She has a small business and marketing background. I come from a large business, middle management background. We stumbled into this business by accident because we heard nothing but horror stories about marketing/service companies for our product. We maintain a basic website which we direct everyone to and still use other marketing channels but Facebook has given us the best bang for the bucks.
