Tamarq has no web presence that I can find. The only reference to a company named Tamarq I can find is here, which says the company was dissolved in 2024: https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/tamarq. Is this a scam?

Why ask grok?

In my previous job, if I was angry, it wasn’t at my colleagues. It was at upper management. My colleagues were in the trenches with me. We suffered together. Being angry at work isn’t bad in itself, imo. I did use that anger as motivation to get another job. I felt incredibly lucky to do so, however.

The paper hasn’t been reviewed yet. I won’t believe it until it is.

I just started playing it a couple months ago. It kinda fulfills my need for an RPG and also an idler.

Looks like it’s still free. You just can’t download it on steam anymore.

As someone who ignored their feelings and eventually realized that I was miserable, it takes bravery to finally listen to yourself again. I think you’re doing the right thing. It’s hard to feel repressed feelings. Really hard. There were many times when I felt like I was barely treading water. Eventually it gets easier and I felt like myself again.

I went to a counselor and they told me that I had to unprogram myself. I had been telling myself things like “you’re not good enough”. I learned to tell myself positive things, even when I half didn’t believe them at first. Here’s some things that helped me to tell myself:

You’re fine the way you are. You belong in this world as much as anyone else. Your feelings are valid.

I gave myself permission to prioritize myself and my feelings and things improved. I’m not saying it’s okay to neglect others. Sometimes the best thing you can do to help others is to help yourself first. You can learn to trust yourself and love yourself again.

The real reason Reddit banned third party apps has finally come to fruition. I still miss rif is fun.

I want to know how many steps I took and how much time I spent taking showers and how many times I narrowly escaped death, etc.

This game is really fun. I’m impressed by the efficiency of the programming as well. Even in survive mode at the end of a level, getting attacked by probably thousands of monsters constantly, there was no hint of a slowdown on my modest gaming computer running Linux.

You’re exactly right. Turns out Nexstar and Disney need FCC approval for something coming up.

I know the answer is obvious, but, why can’t people who don’t like what Kimmel said just stop watching his show? Why does it have to be completely pulled?

From the AP news article about this: Kimmel’s comments about Kirk’s death “are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse,” said Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division.

Has this man never seen a standup comedian in his life?

Deadlock is pretty much TF3, haha.

Thanks for the nicely written summary. Sounds like an interesting project. I haven’t written any Scheme in a long time, although I’ve worked with R a lot (which is actually kind of lisp-y internally anyway). I messed around with Clojure in the past, but I didn’t use it for anything serious. I think it’s cool when older programming languages get revised and refreshed.

Frieren is so good even though it makes me feel feelings.

I’ve had success doing that too. Buttload of traps. The raids that will circumvent your traps are definitely a problem though. Also the raids that just have a bunch of grenadiers can destroy your defenses in no time.

Rimworld definitely makes it harder when you’re doing well. You can control the parameters a bit though in the storyteller settings. It depends on your colony’s wealth, number of people, how long it’s been since something ‘bad’ happens (colonist dies or gets injured), etc.

I’ve been trying to put myself in the shoes of someone who voted for the orange man. It seems like inflation was the biggest factor for a lot of people. I guess I can understand that when it’s hard to afford groceries anymore, the correlation equals causation argument that Trump pushed becomes more alluring. Biden/Harris were in charge when inflation happened. Would it have been much worse with Trump in power? I think so, but maybe a lot of people are just thinking that a change was needed, enough to ignore literally everything else about Trump. I dunno, but I refuse to believe that most people who voted for Trump are fascist or racist or bigots or misogynist. Just trying to stay hopeful.

Outer Wilds and the DLC are such amazing games. Highly recommended. The DLC does get kinda spooky sometimes.
