The '80s Sci-Fi Space Adventure - Spacecamp - That Inspired A Generation Is Completely Forgotten
  • I'm going to date myself here I think about this movie from time to time. As a kid I really wanted to go to space and this movie showed me it was "possible" and kept me dreaming. The only shame is that it was completely overshadowed by the space shuttle Challenger disaster that occurred around it's release.

  • Why Is Trump Trying to Make Ukraine Lose? The former president isn’t in office—but is still dictating U.S. policy.
  • At best it's because it's because he doesn't want Joe Biden and the Democrats to look good before the upcoming election. At worst it's because he's Putin's bitch doing whatever his master says. Personally, I believe he's a piece of shit traitor and so too are all the Republicans that follow and listen to him.

  • Scientists Are Freaking Out About Ocean Temperatures: “It’s like an omen of the future.”
  • Scientists have been freaking out over this (and climate change in general) for a while now. The problem is that not enough people are listening. Worse is some are actively fighting against them and any solutions.

    Luckily though the world will be fine in the end. Humanity on the other hand...not so much

  • Riven on Steam
  • It's nice to see the work by the StarryExpanse people is finally going to see the light of day. It's going to be a great nostalgia trip for me to play this one.

    Also for those who don't know, TheStarryExpanse was a project to rebuild Riven in 3D with a modern game engine. A few years ago they announced that they were going to collaborate with Cyan before turning over their work to them entirely and moving on.

  • The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.2022 to 11.11.2023
  • The key item here is that "combat losses" is what is being tracked. This means KIA as well as Wounded in Action. The actual Russian death count is definitely lower from my understanding but the result is the same. ~300k Russians troops are no longer able to participate in this war.

    To add to this I think Russia not too long ago accidentally leaked something close to the actual number deaths. It was around 120k I believe.

  • The most powerful man in the House doesn't like divorce
  • A debate, to me implies two rational actors presenting their viewpoints and then defending them with facts. That guy has done nothing more than say it's wrong then refuse to elaborate so again to me, it can't be considered a debate any more than convincing a child to eat it's dinner would be considered one.

  • Gavin Newsom Veto Strikers' Unemployment Bill (SB-799)
  • According to latimes "In his veto message, Newsom said expanding benefits would make the state’s unemployment trust fund “vulnerable to insolvency.” California’s unemployment fund already is projected to be nearly $20 billion in debt"

    From what I read that's largely due to the pandemic and fraud. Business closures and layoffs meant a record number of applications. Since the state couldn't pay for all of it it had to borrow from the federal government.

    Can't say I blame him for not wanting to add to that debt but at the same time would unemployment benefits for, let's say a month, really have of added that much to that debt? I haven't run the math and I definitely can't tell how many would be eligible but it really does seem like it would be a drop in the bucket

  • In Rare Alliance, Democrats and Republicans Seek Legal Power to Clear Homeless Camps
  • This line was pretty interesting to me: "the Portland brief reported that about 75 percent of some 3,400 offers of shelter were turned down". I'm wondering if there are any prevailing reasons as to why. If people have good reasons to not go then maybe some money is better spent solving that instead of simply pushing people from one sidewalk to another

  • Docker logging solution?
  • At work we use the syslog log driver for docker. Essentially any container stdout gets pushed in to the system syslog that then gets ingested into splunk through one of their forwarders. We needed more than just container logs so that's the reason for that. For a home setup I'd probably do the same but use the ELK stack instead of splunk.
