My parents split up when I was in my 20s. They both moved out of the house I had grown up in. My girlfriend and I stayed and rented it from my dad, planning to buy it from him as soon as we were financially stable enough to get a loan.

Fast forward a few years to me having a well-paying job and my girlfriend almost being done with university. Things were looking really good. On my 30th birthday, my dad abd his new wife suddenly started pestering us about the house being too big, too expensive, too whatever for us to the point of ruining the whole evening. A week later I got a letter from him, telling me I had six months to get the money or get out, strongly suggesting the latter. Never even got a reason.

I wrote most of my Bachelor’s thesis and parts of my Master’s thesis to nothing but Watch the Skies from Skyrim on loop.

Interestingly there are some videos that show what it’s like when it does work and it’s amazing (though still probably not worth thousands of dollars). That makes it even more frustrating when it doesn’t. It’s been a while since I watched Jenny‘s video but I think she made a point of that near the end.

The hotel was so expensive in both development and upkeep that they had to have a high price and high capacity at the same time to still make a profit. In the end it was basically luck if the actors had time to interact with you and if they didn’t, you had to rely on the rather barebones automated stuff while still paying for the full experience.

As far as I know, ActivityPub only applies to server to server communication. Still, many applications that implement ActivityPub (for example Mastodon) do use push notifications for their clients.

One more difference is that RSS is polling based, meaning that subscribers have to actively ask every hour or so if thre is new content.

On the other hand, ActivityPub knows who is subscribed and can actively distribute new content to other servers who can in turn send push messages to their users, letting you know about new content within seconds.

Sprachspaßwort sounds like something straight out of a law or industry standard which I guess that makes it heterological.

Orphan Black if you like mystery

Filezilla itself is not the problem. Deploying to production by hand is. Everything you do manually is a potential for mistakes. Forget to upload a critical file, accidentally overwrite a configuration… better automate that stuff.

Can confirm that it doesn’t load on iOS but loads fine on desktop.

Same in Germany

(You are aware that lab-grown meat is still meat and not an independent organism, right? It’s essentially dead and would rot within hours if kept at room temperature)

Not only an author but the co-creator and original host of Die Sendung mit der Maus, Germany’s longest-running and most popular educational show for children.

I keep mixing up Armin Meiwes and Armin Meiwald. Really unfortunate coincidence that their names are so similar yet what they’re known for is so different.

Currently not. Lab grown meat is a more or less homogeneous mass of muscle fiber. A few years ago we could only make what is essentially minced meat, now we’re getting closer to entire steaks. Still far away from growing specific muscle groups, organs, bones and skin.

Wrong community. This is for open ended questions and discussion, not for asking for help.

A better place

The most interesting thing is that he wasn’t the only one. A guy who called himself Victor Lustig did the same thing with the Eiffel Tower.

I just made it 62.

The bakery down the road from where I grew up used to hold the Guinness world record for the largest version of a local specialty.
