Unified Linux Wine Game Launcher (UMU) gets a first official release
  • Aatube Aatube Now 75%

    An umu is an above-ground oven of hot volcanic stones originating from Samoans. After the stones are heated, the top layer is removed and the food placed on top to heat/cook. We chose the name because Valve's containerization tool is named pressure-vessel. We're "preparing" the pressure vessel similar to how you would use a stove top pressure-cooker -- by placing it on our umu's "stovetop"

    Imagine our umu as a mystical cauldron, conjuring the fiery essence of a thousand volcanoes to transform mere ingredients into a culinary masterpiece. As the pressure vessel sits atop this enchanted umu, it absorbs the raw power of the earth’s core, becoming an unstoppable force of containerization magic. This isn’t just preparation; it’s an epic saga where the pressure vessel emerges from the umu like a phoenix from the ashes, ready to conquer the Realm of Gamers (RoG) with unparalleled efficiency and might. It’s a fusion of ancient rituals and cutting-edge technology, where every byte is cooked to perfection in the blazing heart of our umu.

    Absolutely not. Even prehistoric humans figured out not to live near the malaria pond, not to eat the wrong berries and which parts of the animal make you drop dead. And if they maintain civilization, all the warnings are useless anyway.

    First off, I'm not saying they'd maintain civilization; I'm talking about the case in which they lose a ton of civilization but manage to get to a state where they can quarry and break concrete before they rediscover radiation, as well as lose their language. Finally, by the time they figure it out, the nuclear radiation would have spread out a ton from the site. The ability to break does not imply the ability to construct.

    I agree with the legal state part, but it was not the energy use of the MRI; it was BS'd from the following:

    "Franco conducted surveillance on multiple dates in 2023, reporting the 'distinct odor of live cannabis plant and not the odor of dried cannabis being smoked,' tinted windows–which he attributed to efforts to conceal cannabis cultivation, security cameras– which he associated with locations where cannabis is grown to prevent theft, and two individuals in similar attire at the premises – whom he concluded were performing maintenance or expanding the cultivation operation," the lawsuit alleges.

    One LAPD officer, "dangling a rifle in his right hand, with an unsecured strap, approached the MRI Office" and glanced at the large warning sign on the door that read: 'Warning. Magnetic Field. High Frequency Yield. Metal Parts and Medical Instruments of All Types prohibited.'" He then walked into the MRI Office, according to the lawsuit.

  • This Place is Not a Place of Honor
  • Aatube Aatube Now 66%

    I'm not an expert on this topic, and the following is my impression from the information I've seen.

    1&3: A nuclear repository needs to be sealed to prevent radiation. A chemical landfill does not. People can see the waste inside landfills from afar and realize that it's nothing of value. Meanwhile, nuclear repositories will have their waste far far away from what people can see. Future beings will not see the glowy warm metal quickly, and just breaking the concrete to see it will cause significant disruption.

    1b: There are parts of spent fuel that are completely spent and unreusable; in fact, reprocessed uranium costs way more than just dumping the spent fuel and buying new uranium.

    2: You are assuming that the future beings will only discover and somehow manage to breach the place before recivilizing. If such an apocalypse occurs, there 78% will be a point in time where they at least reach 19th-century levels of technology. Even if they didn't, having the place breached before the future figures out how to seal radioactive things/use concrete will choke out their development and despair us all for eternity until evolution manages to make a resistant species, which will take a long time.

    Now obviously we all espouse ranked voting, but the most popular rule—the single transferable vote—is known to sometimes eliminate candidates for getting too many votes, which is what happened in the 2022 Alaska special election (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonicity_criterion#Runoff_voting for an explanation of how this happens). So, which voting rule do you like the most? I'm new to this world, but so far the Dowdall system seems like a good compromise.

By its own estimate, about 475 schools do not meet that standard and, of them, more than 200 elementary schools have less than 10 percent green space. This analysis does not include school parking lots or truck delivery areas — paved surfaces that are likely to remain that way and raise the temperature around schools. > > > > > Webster, after years of waiting, is now on the list of schools to be renovated by the Trust for Public Land.

Projects like this can take two to three years to complete, at a cost ranging from $400,000 to as much as $2.5 million, said Danielle Denk, who directs the organization’s schoolyard transformation work.
