I played the similar game Stunt Driver on PC a lot growing up. Had a tweaked copy where all the stats were turned way up on one car. Good choice to play as an old game

I specifically did not specialize in analytical chemistry because of this. It's relatively easy to get a job, but it's mind numbingly boring to do the same tests over and over and over.

I did physical chemistry. No jobs but at least no one knows what the fuck you can do.

(Incidentally I managed to get a job with energetic materials where my education is occasionally relevant)

If you call them prisoners of war, and accept them as such this might be a breach of the Geneva convention if they are identifiable. Then again it might not be regular Ukrainian army taking these pictures, but that opened up a whole new set of questions and possible breaches.

I wholeheartedly support Ukraina in their fight against Russia, but still thing that Ukraina should adhere to the Geneva convention.

Norwegian here. I quit reddit and joined Lemmy after the API debacle. Installed mint because of W11. (A big factor was how Steam and proton enables me to play games)

Can't say either Lemmy or Linux has gotten any media attention in the big news sources as far as I can see.

I am the only one in my circle of friends that quit Reddit (most follow the various 40k reddits, and they have no replacement in federated options)

Oh yeah. I am om team lead. The problem with Mercury is the vapor that ridiculously easy methylates when heated, and then you have a nerve toxin that quite easily crosses the blood-brain barrier.

Kids with little experience perhaps. And morons.

Same with metallic mercury. But once it evaporates....

Think they got replace ny screens many places. Think the reason they are forgotten is how insanely expsensive they can be.

I bought zip screens for my westward facing windows and it was ridiculously expensive. And then the electrical work on top. They are all custom ordered to fit the window so it hikes up the price.

Wasn't Eisenhower the last of those republicans?

Like Terry Pratchett said: Bad times make good men

Good men make good times

Good times make bad men

They are banned for possible connections to a country and an organization (IDF) that have been confirmed to perform war crimes.

If you willfully target children no matter your skin colour, creed, religion or whatever arbitrary set of parameters you are a criminal.

Israelis are now discovering the price of being associated with war criminals.
