Interstate is closed outside Atlanta as residents evacuate due to a chemical plant fire
  • I've done some (grunt-level) work in chemical packaging. I didn't see in the article if it specifies, but the place I worked handled tons of different types of chemicals and they'd all have their own precautions needed. If this place was the same (big if), the sprinklers are probably standard for fire, and the chemical in question should be delivered sealed in watertight drums and only opened/handled inside a small room-sized fume hood. We had specialized rooms for things like spontaneously combustible chemicals and poisonous inhalation hazards — those chemicals were never unsealed outside those rooms.

    All that goes out the window I assume if this is the only chemical they handle.

  • Share your stories
  • I forget a lot of it, except that last bit where the Misfit says something like “she could’ve been a good person if there’d been someone to shoot her every day of her life.”

  • Some basic info about USB
  • Why would you need them on a MacBook? They're always* Thunderbolt.

    Edit: Better explained by GamingChairModel below. I entirely forgot one series of MacBook, and also forgot when the older ones did have the Thunderbolt symbol on them.

  • Reddit is down again
  • Tried three or so before settling on Arctic. It does a the best job I've found of making the most of different iPad orientations and screen splits, and that's the where I use Lemmy the most.

  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Delayed AGAIN — This Time to the First Half of 2025
  • Sort of the thing that makes me think this one still has a ghost of a chance, but then I've liked the games The Chinese Room has made before mostly for their writing and music. I'll probably be disappointed, but them at the helm doesn't kill it for me like it probably does for people who wanted more of the original.

  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Delayed AGAIN — This Time to the First Half of 2025
  • Is there a preferred metric to measure this by? I didn't play the first one, but Wikipedia says "polarizing but ultimately positive," and there's an 80/100 metacritic score, for whatever that's worth.

    Your word picture is just so funny that I want to root for the game's success just to be the person that quotes this comment and @s you, even if I tend to agree with your assessment.

  • Windows 11 is getting a new start menu. EDIT: this replaces the "all apps" page by default, not the home screem
  • And maybe I'm using it wrong, but it just...doesn't work. I use spotlight search on my MacBook to find programs and things and it just finds them. It's fast enough to be faster than me opening things off the dock.

    I try to use the search on my wife's Win11 computer and half the time it sends me to a website for a program she already has installed.

    Like if you want to imitate, even badly, the imitation should at least be functional.

  • Donald Trump missteps stir growing Republican worry, campaign seeks Vance reset
  • Yep, definitely forgot to list this complaint. Frankly a paper with a good reputation having a left lean would seem obvious to me — the right abandoned reality a long time ago.

    I think it makes more sense if you start from the supposition that centrists in America are just right-wingers who still remember how to be ashamed of their batshit views when they’re in public.
