Because the idea of enjoying a day in nature is probably more attractive to people who don’t fish than a dude holding up a dead animal.

I feel like a picture sitting by the water with a fishing rod would go over better than a dead fish.

Your comment is giving me flashbacks. We did label all our cables though (with masking tape and a marker).

I used to be a heavy pot smoker (think daily habit, multiple joints a day, zero days off for years at a time). I usually just brought some with me. It’s really not that hard to get stuff across borders, especially when travelling by land. You’d have to get really unlucky to be searched. Sometimes I’d also just ask around at my destination. I’ve taken drugs on planes too a couple of times (one time hash hidden inside normal cigarettes and another time LSD and DMT in my hand luggage).

People really overestimate customs’ ability to find shit, at least when the amounts are small for personal use. I wouldn’t recommend it and absolutely would never do it travelling to someplace where you’d go to jail (or worse) if caught, but within Europe I never had issues. The only time I was ever caught was with a tiny amount of weed that I hadn’t bothered hiding when travelling by car from the Netherlands to Germany and that only resulted in it being confiscated and no actual charges.

All that being said, even a total degenerate like me was able to go a week or two without illegal drugs if I had to. Alcohol is available pretty much anywhere, so worst case I’d just drink.

One of the main ways you progress in the game is by obtaining blueprints and then finding the ingredients to craft them. But you also have to craft things like fuel, ammo, etc. and to repair things. It’s fun but can get tedious at times. Luckily the game lets you fine tune the experience at any time (it’s actually probably one of the games that does this best imo) and one of the options is free crafting which lets you craft ending immediately without finding the ingredients first. My rule of thumb was to mostly only use it to skip grinding for ingredients I’d found before but needed more of it finding them would be too annoying, but not to skip searching for stuff I hadn’t seen yet.

The game is worth it imo. There is lots of content and it goes on sale from time to time. And all the DLC is always free which is nice.

I’m not ashamed to admit I selectively enabled free crafting to skip grinding in that game. I have very little patience for games that force me to spend time doing loads of boring busywork to “earn” the right to enjoy the fun parts. But at least No Man’s Sky allows you to tweak the gameplay experience very granularly to make it suit your taste. More games should be like that.

macOS 27 now has a thing where if you quit an app (actually quit with cmd+q, not just close the window with the red button) it will stay in the Dock labelled “running in background” if sneakily keeps running.

If you think AI tools can’t translate texts you must have never tried. I speak two languages natively and sometimes use AI tools to translate text between them, because it is simply a lot faster than doing it by hand. Being able to speak both languages I can easily confirm that the AI translated texts are at least as good as what I could produce myself. It’s a really useful tool for that purpose.

If you hate AI on principle, that’s fine. You’re entitled to your opinion. But to say it doesn’t work is just simply wrong.

Whatever that is, it’s not loading for me.

Check out “Unwatched for YouTube” on iOS. It’s a bit janky, but it works. Certainly better than paying for premium.

As someone who is currently having to take away people’s local admin rights along with a ton of other privileges: it’s not like we do this for fun, we have compliance goals to reach that were agreed to by higher ups outside of the IT department in exchange for public funding (we’re a public institution).
