> …most people don’t learn from advice at all. They learn from consequences. They have to touch the stove themselves. Words bounce off; pain sticks.

It hurts to see your child in this position but it (often is) a quick learning, and we hope that it is no more than a 1st degree burn.

→ To ease the transition, players will still be able to download previously purchased content after the closing date for the foreseeable future.

does this literally mean what I think it means, you get up to a certain date a chance to download purchased content, and… will that content play without calling PSN servers? and download whereto, an external HDD, can I make copies of my HDD?

I am not sure if my memory is mixing with 4D Boxing (!?) but I think if you took too long your pirate would be quite old and weak, or?

lencastre — Mon, 25 May 2026 06:31:10 +0000

On “field trips” where laptop is too much and just the iphone is too little, I have been pairing my ipad with a k380 for the last 200 years and cannot complain much. The only warning I get is that k380 causes some kind of interference with the apple pencil and other bluetooth connected devices. Can’t precise exactly how much though.

New comment by lencastre in "The simple geometry behind any road"

lencastre — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 11:02:19 +0000

vehicular speed is very important as a consideration in any road curvature, as well as “pitch and yaw” when changing slope and direction at speed, so… simple it is not, and if we are mostly “offsetting” straight lines and arcs, we are doing it wrong
