A Windows version becomes considered "good" the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.

No Niles?

I was a pretty big fan of Frasier so I'll probably try to see at least one episode (when I can get it in Europe), but I don't have hopes up. It seems nobody else does either.

On the other hand, Rodney Trotter? This just seems weird.

Also tankies claiming to be anti-imperialist when people want to leave your empire.

The Solidarity movement, started in 1980 as a series of labor strikes, formed into a large trade union and then a political movement demanding workers' rights, actual worker control over means of production, and similar socialist policies. It finally forced and won a public election in 1989 (on the very same day of the Tiananmen square crackdown) which in turn led to the end of communist (and Russian) rule in Poland.

No, there was another one, interestingly at the exact same time, in Poland. They don't like that one either.

Reading the card, explains the card.

Enter textless Cryptic Command.

Neverball seems far less known than the other ones, but it's really good and has tons of levels.

Are there good UIs/tilesets for Nethack these days?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Definitely Neverball. My kids and I spent so many hours in it.

OpenTTD is good, so is TuxKart, but both have better closed-source alternatives. I don't think Neverball does.

Just more proof that it was never about mRNA.

If we can't solve every mathematical problem, there's gonna be things in science that aren't solvable either.

Not at all, math and science are very different things. Math is a fixed system of rules that we constructed. Within these rules, there are possible statements which cannot be proven or disproved using only those same rules.

Science is different, we don't know the rules but we observe, measure, and make predictions. It's not possible to "solve" physics but that's because we can't make infinitely accurate measurements, there's nothing systemic to prevent us from making a complete theory.

I deny that the Warsaw Pact exists right now, if that's what you mean. You might as well argue that the Roman Empire is in decline right now.

I also deny that the Warsaw Pact benefited its member countries. After all, it was the only defensive alliance that invaded its own members.
