I'm having a love/hate relationship with Mars First Logistics. It's a game where you custom-build rovers on Mars to carry strangely-shaped objects from one location to another.
It's bizarrely difficult and casual at the same time. You really have to think about your builds (a la KSP), but there are no time limits and you can always reset, so the stakes for failure are very low.
It's a game that alternates between making me feel very dumb and very smart.
Check it out on Steam. It's on sale.

Hilariously, Apple tried to claim with a straight face to the EU, that it offers not one, but three distinct web browsers all coincidentally named Safari.
Lucky for us the team at the EC dismissed this ludicrous gambit and painstakingly ripped Apple's argument to shreds. It is baffling to us why Apple's legal team is willing to sacrifice their credibility on something that has such a low chance of success.
Couldn't this be rewritten as "IDF admits it committed war crimes"?

Incredibly telling that being accused of rape and openly describing sexual harassment isn't a scandal in #Republican world, but the idea that someone might wear lifts in his shoes is a giant scandal.
According to CNN, #SBF was found guilty yesterday. But won't be sentenced for another 5 months.
Can someone from #LawFedi explain that delay? It seems like an excessive amount of time to me.

The way we write about and report on the wholesale slaughter of women in Australia has to change.
The “tragic reason” this man murdered his “beloved” wife?
He had secretly spent their savings and didn’t want to be found out.
We report on male violence from the assumption that they’re “good blokes”
Newsflash: Murdering your wife makes you *not* a fucking good bloke.

#Republicans: You can't defund the police! We need them to maintain accountability in society!
Also Republicans: Defund the #IRS!
Watching The Sopranos, it's remarkable how much more I like Carmella than Skyler from Breaking Bad.
Both are the wives of big bad criminals who keep them in the dark. Both are strong women who struggle with what the father of their children does for a living.
I think the reason I like Carmella more is that she's a woman of action and determination and she doesn't fuck around, whereas Skyler was more of a mopey woman of complaining. But it could simply be the actresses' performances or any other of a million things, not sure...
Ha! Brilliant.
Saw a doctor finally more than two hours after my appointment was scheduled.
I'm supposed to get surgery, but I think I'll find somewhere with an ounce of professionalism first before I schedule it.
Finally got in, an hour after my appointment time. Now they say I need two tests, but they don't know how much it'll cost me. 🤦♂️
They made another old man wait an hour and a half just to figure out that his appointment was in another location. This place is like a masterclass on how not to run a doctor's office.
They made a lady wait over an hour, called her up, and then made her sit back down when they just then realized she doesn't speak English.
Must be nice being a doctor. Even if you're complete shit at your job and can't run an office to save your life, you'll still be booked up with customers no matter what.
