'Deranged': Experts tear apart Trump's 'ludicrous' plan on grocery prices
  • You're giving him way too much credit. Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. While Trump has certainly performed acts out of malice, he is also the epitome of stupidity. He's suggested nuking hurricanes, injecting bleach, and has stared straight into the sun during a solar eclipse, etc, etc. He's a terrible person of course, but he's also a complete moron.

  • 'Deranged': Experts tear apart Trump's 'ludicrous' plan on grocery prices
  • He doesn't understand the nuances of making policy decisions, so his default answer to stuff like this is to just impose tariffs because that's all he knows. He doesn't care to understand and would likely eat the crayons you use if you were to try to explain it to him. He's just incapable of that sort of mental growth.

  • Deck Buttons Releases Real Metal Steam Deck Buttons In Our Devices - Steam Deck HQ
  • These aren't full metal buttons. They're a hybrid resin and aluminum or copper mix. So less of an issue if it was a full metal button. You can customize it through polishing it desired, e.g., a brushed look, fully polished, raw (as it comes packaged). And yes, your finger oils will add to the end result as well.

  • As Helldivers 2 struggles after the new update, Arrowhead's CEO promises fixes while also expressing disappointment in how it's performed.
  • Some of those shown in that stream were from Playstation, not devs. While there were some devs on, they stated during the stream that there's devs that play the harder difficulties (7+) and some that solo level 9.

    Thing about the charger is right, if you use something like a EAT and are able to headshot it. The Breaker incinerary being nerfed did not gut the gun, but made it more skill intensive in terms of ammo conservation rather than point and mag dump in a given direction.

  • The Supreme Court rejects a nationwide opioid settlement with OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma
  • I'm torn on this one. Obviously, the victims deserve to get payment and whatnot, but the other half of this is that the bankruptcy court agreement with the Sackler family would prevent them from future liability for similar cases. Supreme Court is saying the bankruptcy court didn't have the power to grant that, which, if excluded, would open the Sacklers to future lawsuits. I'm all for that family getting sued into oblivion, but we can't trust the Supreme Court to do what's right either. We have to treat everything they do with suspicion. This comes on the heels of the ruling of 'bribery is now basically legal', so it makes me wonder how much the Sackler family is paying them.

  • Well that's depressing
  • I've played since day one and I don't even remember it being a requirement. Fortunately, Sony has reversed course. Hopefully things return to normal over the next few days.

  • Well that's depressing
  • From what I've read, Arrowhead doesn't control selling the game, Sony does. So it's on Sony's head for selling the game in regions that don't have PSN access, knowing that account linking would be a requirement even though it was temporarily disabled. The whole situation is a complete clusterfuck.

  • Only five bodies delivered to Belgorod morgue after mysterious Russian plane crash, Ukrainian intelligence suggests
  • And/or give them cause to not turn over the POW's since they are already 'dead'. Hopefully more details will emerge that paint a better picture. No matter the case though, if the POW's are still alive, then this certainly seals their fate anyway as Russia isn't going to turn around and hand them over after all this.

  • Texas Governor Greg Abbott releases letter stating Federal Government has broken compact with the states, activates Texas National Guard
  • Abbot is full of shit, as always.

    From his letter:

    Biden has ignored Texas demand that he perform his constitutional duties...thosnrefusalbtonprotect the States has inflicted unprecedented harm on the People alll across the United States>

    No proof of damage except the 'I dont like brown people' that's typical of republicans. I don't recall Texas saying shit when Trump abandoned his constitutional duties to promote the general welfare of the public and let large swaths of Americans die to covid, just because he didn't want to hurt his election chances. Pretty sure that's precedent, though Abbot claims Biden's damage is unprecedented.

    This whole document is to rattle supporters into a frenzy. Fuck Abbot.

  • Experts on why so many Republicans accept that "God gave us Trump"
  • Doesn't help that churches are pushing political ideologies onto their flocks. Granted, those churchgoers probably already held Trump in high regard thanks to years of brainwashing from Fox. Trump meets all the decriptions of the antichrist and they follow him without a question asked. Religious nutjobs are frightening.

  • Protective case or not?
  • Yes and no. When I got my OLED is was so light but after a JSAUX modcase, it sort of lost that feeling. That said, I'm all for protecting my devices and I have a toddler, so that's me.

    When I purchased the original Deck, I had it sitting on my desk in my garage with some headphones plugged in and my dog, who was under the desk, got up and bumped the cable with her head. The cable startled her, causing her to panic and jolt, catching the cable around her torso, and yanking the Steam deck off the desk. Dog is now in a panic as the flying Steam Deck crashes into the cement floor behind her, bouncing and skittering across the ground about 6ft or so until it came to a rest. Now, all of this happened in llike 2 seconds, so there wasn't much I could do. It was basically new out of the box, but it took that incident without issue. That was a a few scrapes along the back/side, but no damage to anything else. Has run fine since.

    All that to say that it's tanky in its own right, but your mileage may vary. I lucked out I think, but even a case won't save the screen from an ill placed drop onto a rock or something like that.
