Title is slightly misleading. It was the largest TYPE of jellyfish and not the largest single one ever recorded.

Can't risk getting bored while in a truck sim, can she?

From the article, explaining why they think it's an "Atheists Worst Nightmare":

Garland’s writing frequently reaches for this sort of inverse Spielberg effect, where secular revelation is inseparable from existential horror. Much like his later works Ex Machina (2014) and Annihilation (2018), which also combined highbrow philosophy with good old-fashioned schlock, Sunshine plays out as an atheist’s worst nightmare. Imagine: you’ve staked your life on rational science and journeyed into the very gut of the galaxy, only to discover something irrefutably Godlike, terrifying, awe-inspiring and utterly impartial towards your continued existence. Perhaps those sun-deifying ancient civilisations were right all along. The sun giveth and it taketh away, and if it decides our number is up, who are we mere mortals to argue?

Thanks for the article. I'm glad the newer EV batteries are doing well.

Just curious, is there a good/cheap used EV car or small SUV to look for that has the ability to do small battery repairs and has good longevity? Something that sells cheap since it's a few years old, but still has plenty of life left and can be repaired seems like a fantastic option in today's market.

Avoiding Tesla, I'm guessing the Bolt might be a decent option?

Or a Jiffed lover. Don't mind me, I'm just going to Skippy right on out of here and take my nutty jokes with me.

 

I'm a recovering Xbox gamer who grew tired of the monthly cost for the ability to play my purchased games online.

Purchased a pre-built gaming PC (couldn't build it myself for less) and it's been working well. Had to re-buy my primary game Forza Horizon 5 on Steam and I plan to pre-order FH6 on Steam and spend a lot of time on it. PC is in my room, Xbox is in the living room.

I'm considering buying a cheap used Steam Deck for occasional travel, playing the occasional Halo MCC at my friend's house, and using it on a dock in the living room to phase out the Xbox.

I can buy a 512GB LCD version for around $200-250 or a used OLED for under $350.

I'm comfortable buying used electronics and understand the deck isn't the most powerful thing around, but I just don't want to regret it if FH6 plays horribly. I guess I can wait until it launches and read reviews, but then I miss out on months of time with the deck and still have to use my Xbox in the living room.
