There is a place in Russia called Norilsk that is so polluted, it's commercially viable to mine the polluted surface soil for metals.

I was just sat here wondering if Miracle of Sound still made music. Thought maybe he might have a little channel with a few thousand views now and then... oh... million views, million views, 5 million views...137 million views...he's fucking touring Europe!?! Done alright for himself hasn't he? Still remember him on here with his Soundwave avatar.

I just learned that JoJo is still, like fucking Boromir of Gondor, single handed taking the bad posts on and moderating this place.

I found thanks to some research, that one way around a manager like Heroic or Lutris being a ***** about installing a game launcher - Looking RIGHT the fuck at YOU, Battle.NET - is to run the installer through Steam using its Proton compatibility layer.

It's very hard to hunt for a job right now. Thanks to Sam Altman for lowering the price of GPT-5-mini to various countries in the global south, anglo/english-speaking rich countries around the world, and especially, I suspect, Americans are getting hit with scam after scam. And they are increasingly hitting graduate and college students, not the elderly.

Be careful out there.
