Portland OR is 118 on that list? I assume you're not talking about Portland ME.

Nah if you only build a 2D structure, you won't have to worry about the water pressure because your structure will likely not be able to interact with 3D matter. It's genius engineering IMHO.

Sounds like CRTs do produce some radiation but the amount it produces is marginal. Modern CRTs should have leaded glass which should substantially reduce the amount of X-rays you would receive.

The above article says 0.3 microS/hour which is less than one tenth of the radiation you get from an hour of flight, or about 10 hours of sun exposure.

So it looks like you will get radiation exposure from CRTs but it is not much higher than background radiation. Bring sedentary for hours in front of a CRT TV is probably worse for you than the radiation you would get from the CRT.

Taking on one extra dog for a few days seems like the easiest, most chill way to make a little money on the side if you are careful about which dogs you take. Those people who sit 4+ dogs at a time are insane but must pull in a good bit of money.

Genuine question, what are you doing on a regular basis where you would expect to get ticks on you while wearing jeans? Are you a pokemon trainer walking through tall grass all day?

If someone else has to debug the problems caused by a parent naming their child with a special character, does that make the parent the bugger? 🤔

Yep, the second paragraph of the article says that the new app will eventually replace both GeForce experience (yay) and the Nvidia control panel (boo).

It's basically the same as doing it on the ground, except here you get hit by a train if you mess up.

I'm a little surprised that unreal is the next choice after unity given how much hate Epic seems to get. I thought about switching to unreal but then I learned that you have to download the epic store to use the unreal engine, and I refuse to do that after the "scan your whole PC and upload your game list" thing they pulled a few years ago.

GitHub is many things nowadays. Some people use it sort of like a blog where they can easily post long pages of text, sometimes it's the first thing that shows up in the search results when you search for a computer/phone problem.

I'm gonna sound old here but the younger generations are in general less computer literate than they were back in my day, and a lot of people have no qualms about downloading and running random exe's from discord or mediafire.

Yeah the beginning is a bit rough because apparently the alien is specifically programmed to not leave you alone in the first level or two that it appears. My initial experience was similar but after the first level it got a lot better.

To me the game either works great and you get a legit scary experience or the alien pops out at the wrong time and you have to briskly walk through the rest of the level or die instantly.
