Victoria welcomes first of 2 electric fire trucks
  • Why? This sounds like a nice upgrade:

    The truck comes equipped with air suspension, allowing its height to be adjusted to four different levels. It’s all-wheel drive, unlike its predecessors, and being electric, there is more space for storage.

    And the article says it has a fallback diesel engine if the battery runs low:

    According to the city, it also has an onboard diesel engine that will automatically engage when the battery drops below 20 per cent during an extended firefighting response, ensuring no breaks in service.

  • the psychically disabled

    It's always been so hard for the psychically deaf to get ahead in this world... Getting discriminated against in job interviews, having to hustle pencils on the side of the street. All because we can't move shit with our minds or speak without our mouths.

    My co-workers are always talking to each other telepathically when I'm around, laughing about their psychic in-jokes, knowing I can't hear them. It's honestly so rude. They're probably making fun of me in there, tossing mean comments in the conduit between their attuned minds 😠

    Well guess what? The psychically deaf are just as good as the psychics! There's nothing they can do with their minds that we can't do with good old fashioned human muscle 😤 we deserve respect!

  • backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to ssh server compromise
  • Damn, it is actually scary that they managed to pull this off. The backdoor came from the second-largest contributor to xz too, not some random drive-by.

  • First game you played
  • My first game was Yoshi's Island for the Game Boy Advance! I still go back and play it every few years, I love that game.

  • What are the Top 3 Games that you have played in your lifetime?
  • I think it's worth getting. I liked how they made it so different from the base game, and still managed to create an interesting mystery for you to unravel that gives background to the base game's story.

    I didn't like how heavily it leaned into horror though. Horror's just not really my thing - there was one section in particular that was super stressful for me. But if you can tolerate (or enjoy) the horror elements, then you'll like the DLC.

  • What are the Top 3 Games that you have played in your lifetime?
  • My top three would be Rimworld, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Metroid Prime.

    Honorable mentions to Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, Windwaker, Subnautica... There are so many great games out there that it's hard to pick a top three!
