One million hours in gimp
Tempered glass, the type which is used for stuff like shower screens or car windows is under constant tension against itself. The inside of the glass wants to be bigger than the outside. Normally this makes it harder to break as the bonds on the outside are so strong and uniform they prevent it from bending or shearing as easily as normal glass.
The problem is that if you manage to break those bonds, the outside can very rapidly tear itself apart as it finds a way to relieve that tension. It basically pops like a balloon. The reason it breaks into small pieces is because anything bigger is still under tension and once the surface is damaged the crack will spread to ease it.
So your glass could have had a defect or damage which broke a few of those bonds, and heat cycles eventually pushed it to break the next bond along and start a chain reaction which destroyed the whole thing.
Edit: it could even be that some grit fell in the housing or something. The reason spark plugs break car windows is because the edges are sharp enough to cut the glass with very little force.
They want you fighting a culture war to keep your mind off the class war.
The mainstream "left", such as the Democrats benefit from this too.
Draw the national party lines between bigoted and non-bigoted. Now everyone can fight over that and nobody has to address the fact that two thirds of the country want universal healthcare.
I'm not an econ major but I'm going to give you my theory anyway.
We've been circling the drain on a major global recession for two years. We've been avoiding it through sheer denial.
Nobody ever mentions it, but tech stocks were the first to take a beating in 2008. The reason is that they're actually kinda worthless and just a place where billionaires gamble the way trust fund kids do with cryptocurrency. There's just not really that much collateral in digital property. Unlike land, it's value can just disappear overnight if people decide it's uncool.
When asset managers are about to be called on their bets and have to find money somewhere, the first thing they'll do is sell tech shares to bail out other investments. Houses will always have some value even if you end up having to manage it yourself, whereas any social network risks going the way of MySpace.
Twitter being in trouble isn't just a sign that twitter is in trouble, but that investors need that money for something safer, and if they're looking for something safer that may mean sheer denial isn't working anymore.
.ml vs .world fights are always hilarious. And for that reason, they should stay federated.
Presumably they'll roll back their censorship of Palestinian journalists now they love free speech so much.
Which European country was it that added a loophole to their constitution to allow slavery as punishment then manipulated their legal system to lock a third of black men up again? I forget.
I bought a convertible car that was completely ditched once. The canvas roof was in such a state that it consisted mostly of black bags and duct tape.
I ring a friend and ask him what he's doing and if he wants to go for a drive in said car.
He said he's too busy 'cause he has a bunch of jobs to apply to and wants to spend the day handing out his CV. I say that's a perfect excuse to drive the new car round.
Get to his house and show him the car and we decide we should drive round with the top down because it's sunny. The top is made of duct tape and bin liners though, so we grab a kitchen knife each and set to work on getting it off.
First place he wants to go is a job for a theatre tech. We drive over to the next town and I pull up and he runs in with just his CV and leaves all his possessions (coat, phone, wallet, etc) in the car.
Unbeknownst to me, the guy he handed his CV to gave him a tour and a bit of an interview on the spot so I'd be stuck there for an hour in the same parking space.
Also unbeknownst to me, the theatre was at a high school so I'm now suddenly surrounded by kids leaving at the end of the school day.
It's awkward enough that I'm a guy in my late 20s parked outside a school in a convertible, but it took me a few minutes to realise that all the staring I was recieving from the kids was because the back seat was covered in black bags and duct tape held down with the two biggest knives I could find in my kitchen.
The police even came and I was hoping they would stop so I could explain but they just kept driving past me at walking speed.
Telekinesis, and somehow looking like he's being filmed using early 90s TV cameras.
There are sections of both the right and the left that have anti-authoritarian tendancies.
The libertarian right tends to view things purely in terms of government over reach, whilst the left tends to view things in terms of the power of capital.
Leftists saw Facebook pushing propaganda for the highest bidder, Reddit trying to be safe to sell to investors and twitter basically becoming a project to reflect Elon Musk's personal opinions.
Out of that came a bunch of attempts at creating new social networks. The right wing attempts were not cognisant that the aforementioned were the natural result of trying to get rich off it, while the left attempted to make it impossible to get into that position.
I don't mind if indie devs try something experimental that melts your computer. Like beamNG needs a decent computer but the target audience kinda knows about that sort of stuff.
The problem is with games like cities skylines 2. Most people buying that game probably don't even know how much RAM they have, it shouldn't be unplayable on a mid range PC.
When your villain origin story is getting banned from a truck simulator mod because you forgot the macro to turn the headlights on.
