I should also put my normal caveat in here about not actually buying one of these. Please, please don’t try to buy one of these awesome cargo e-trikes. This is a silly, tongue-in-cheek weekend column where I scour the ever-entertaining underbelly of China’s massive e-commerce site Alibaba in search of fun, quirky, and just plain awesomely weird electric vehicles.

Essentially, it's satire.

Almost half of voters said they are likely to support a new political party proposed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, according to fresh polling.

Horseshit. No way is Elon's popularity that high, after he so effectively alienated himself from both US parties. I'm guessing the poll just asked about supporting A third party, not Elon's third party.

Same concept as how Trump gave no written order for the Jan 6 mob to storm the capitol building, therefore he's totally not responsible for it.

Give it some time.

Roughly the same as for any type of software: make shit.

If you've already got experience with general programming, that helps a lot, you can probably just go straight into a super simple game. My go-to recommendation for programming in general is "make simple something that already exists". That gives you goals that are very clear, and reasonably achievable, so you can start getting some of that satisfaction feedback quickly. For a game, I'd say do something like Tic-Tac-Toe, Battleship, Solitaire... something that isn't gonna require a whole lot of art, just to get going, and isn't gonna take weeks to get a working prototype.

Godot definitely sounds like a good bet to get going. Even if you end up moving to another engine for projects in the future, that doesn't invalidate your time spent on this one.

Dude, you obviously have never set FOOT on a farm or tractor, in your LIFE. Stop spreading misinformation.

These are raw marshmallows. Yeah, it's unbelievable how big they are, but that's just cause they're fresh and haven't dried out yet.

That's a hell of a lot of reactors.

I thought Democrats embraced socialism.

Democrats, the party and politicians, no. Not even close. As much as Fox News would love you to believe that.

Democrats, the voters, much more so. The majority of people in the US are like you. When presented with actual socialist policies, they're on board. But most people are also not engaged enough in politics to recognize that the Democratic party doesn't actually believe in socialist policies, they just vote for "the left". Or, they do recognize it, but feel that they have no better options.

I like the implication that she's been dabbling in Illusion track, given the quick clothing change.

Lots of folks mentioning VSCode as the alternate to VS, but it is very much not that. VS is an IDE, VSCode is a text editor that just has a big plugin community. Do not expect a low learning curve. The VS alternative that's an actual IDE, and does have a low learning curve, is JetBrains Rider. Unfortunately it is neither F nor OSS.

What's even the argument for dropping 32-bit support? Just developer experience?

Why not? If they can cut costs by reducing specs that don't matter to their target audience, that just seems like sound engineering.
