Go routes don't take that long to develop. The problem has been they don't trust the uber expensive pass rush to win straight up and blitz on 3rd and long leaving single coverage.

After Jenkins moved the ball it was still farther than it should have been spotted after review.

Even spotting 6 inches from goal line was ridiculous.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.

Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.

So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Goal is to travel as far as possible while leaving a deadly trail, which forces a new path each lap.

Time is limited, but with a time bonus for every lap completed, so you can't go slowly and carefully. Performing stunts gives temporary protection from damage when passing through the trail.

Older shockline trial level from Stunted Gravity Circuit, but with updated materials and lighting, and a new techno-Beethoven music track!

Made a bunch of improvements to my latest Stunted Gravity Circuit time trial course. Added windows and a space skybox, glowing tile grids, and a bunch more graphics, geometry, and physics tweaks.

Newest level in Stunted Gravity Circuit! A Time Trial event where gravity flips at the completion of each lap. I decided to really lean into the vaporwave/retrowave aesthetic for this one.

The Boost Pads and Laser Cannons are newly added for this level.

I want to do a 🧡 about the Sidney Sweeney thing, because it's *extremely* revealing & educational.

First, to be clear: I could not give less of a shit about the details -- the ad, the rhetoric, the jeans, her boobs, whatever. Good lord, who cares.

Let's look at the *structure* of the episode.

Power consumption goes down at night.

Wind doesn't stop blowing at night.

Battery tech is improving and grid storage capacity growing.

We can't eliminate coal/gas/nuclear overnight, but we can steadily reduce the need with normal investment in renewables and storage.

Late 90s were pretty good though.

Crime still relatively high, but declining. Economy was strong. US involved wars had been generally getting smaller for half a century.

Without knowing Dubya, 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the tech bubble bursting recession were coming times were hopeful.

Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.

Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?

Trump: I think so. He stole her.

I guess I'm surprised that's a record for somewhere in Florida. Up here in the Twin Cities we have a recorded high of 98 plus for every month May through September.

You realize that almost all of the infrastructure pre-dates the scooters, and that scooters were introduced into environments not designed to handle them?

Regardless of whether you like scooters or not, very disingenuous to place the blame on cities regarding scooters they didn't ask for.

Funny bug I recently introduced. When I added multithreaded level loading I forgot to filter level start button actions after the background load started, making it possible to load multiple level copies at once, including the player!

Easily fixed, but pretty funny.

Let’s talk about weather balloonsβ€”a.k.a. radiosondesβ€”and why recent cuts to NWS staffing and balloon launch schedules are putting the public at risk (eg., Deaths in Texas). No satellite or model can replace what these humble balloons do. Here's why. 🧡

New time trials in my #cyberpunk stunt driving game, with a twist!

Tagger Trials score by the amount of paint put down. Time is short, but more is awarded for completed laps. It's a tradeoff between taking the fastest lines and laying unique paint trails each lap.

It makes sense.

Even after the real cop saw him shoot, the immediate reaction could have been they thought it was an actual cop firing at a different criminal within the house.

Cops fire before assessing a situation too often, I'm not going to get mad they didn't do so here.

New arena and event type in my #Godot stunt driving game.

Vector diffusion custom gravity pulls towards the nearest surface. Jump towards a wall and it becomes the new floor.

Event is performing stunts through rings.

Clip also shows outro with element scoring and composite award.

Moreover, this is a league that just had Mahomes and Hurts face off in the Superbowl, Caleb Williams get drafted #1 overall, and Jayden Daniels win Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Racism at the QB position used to be an issue in the NFL, but this hasn't been the case for many years now.

The point is that the default can actually be closer to perfect by compensating in a way that counters lack of bounce.

In the original pic I think inv square falloff overdarkens, especially in the corners.

Bluesky has a very strong anti-AI bias. It's been conflated with crypto, X, and right wing politics, and most users here have strong aversions to even pure AI research.

Non-users dismiss LLMs as useless. Positive real world experiences are ignored.

LLMs are tools, and can be used or misused.
