I bought what is essentially the same product from the same brand, I was expecting to get an improved version but reader? they made it worse. It only draws power from the output now which isn't powered on my screen

I hate that for simple things like "adding HDMI ports to a screen that doesn't have enough" you have to buy some shitty e-waste product and hope it supports features like "switches to the active line automatically" and "draws 5V from the HDMI 5V line"

Computing horrors 

I've lived a long and content life, ignorant of this horrible fact: there exists a UTF-EBCDIC encoding. Blessed by the Unicode consortium even. The eldrich horrors of EBCDIC unleashed by the Old Ones, now rise again from their slumber into modern Unicode.

Make your saving throw against sanity...

don't get me wrong, I still like the genre and I'm probably get it when it goes on sale and after they fixes some of the most glaring issues, but I yearn for a city builder that actually attempts to model real city planning instead of fucking Urban Dynamics

streets come with street parking that you can't get rid of, but no bike lanes. You need to hit like four or sth milestones to even get public transit

what disappoints me most about Cities: Skylines 2 is not the mediocre state it shipped in but how little they broke up the city builder formula, it barely even iterates on a genre that hasn't fundamentally changed since SimCity

Police estimate that as many as 100 thousand women showed up to the protest meeting at Arnarhóll in honour of the women's strike

That's not counting the local meetings that took place in almost every town in Iceland or the women that were striking but couldn't make it to a meeting.

So you can probably add another few thousands, if not tens of thousands, to that number to get the total number of those striking.

I think I overdid swimming today, I'm pooped. Felt good though, I had a lot of endurance today, maybe it's actually improving
