Basically Nexus/STC is an attempt to recreate sci-hub but in a decentralized manner. Everything is mirrored on IPFS which in my opinion is not that great but it gets the job done. Sci-hub has been frozen since 2021 so new papers are not available. As time progresses, sci-hub becomes less and less useful.

Scientific articles are crowd sourced instead of scraped. If the article isn’t on there it can be requested. They also mirror libgen databases.

Also it’s named Standard Template Construct as a Warhammer reference.

Here is a link on how to use it.

Z-library is no good. They basically mirror libgen’s database and then add additional books without feeding them back/maintaining public databases. It appears to be a for-profit enterprise.

Libgen, annas archive, and nexus are much better for liberating knowledge.

That’s totally normal, most car loans operate this way.

This would play so much better if they just raised prices and framed it as a discount during low-volume times.

It depends on what you mean by sustainable, it can mean a lot of different things.

In terms of CO2 production, plastics really can’t be beat at the moment. Their weight relative to other materials makes them cost significantly less CO2 to ship.

In terms of biodegradability, we have composable plastics like PLA but you’re not going to get the properties you want in terms of strength.

If you make a model kit with biodegradable plastic but you have to buy 5 of them instead of 1 because they keep breaking, using ABS is more sustainable in my opinion.

That’s painted by the same artist that painted the famous picture owned by Epstein of Bill Clinton in the blue Lewinsky dress Petrina Ryan-Kleid.

I’d say the character of Ted Lasso is very relatable to me but that may be more of an indictment of my childhood than anything. It is fascist in that it takes place in

It’s just weird wording. They mean that X.com employees have a year to turn X.com into the hottest new bank.

What about notepad?

Hexbears will like it once the Soviet mod comes out.

Playing a pirated copy at 60 fps on 5800x/3070 near max settings using the DLSS mod scaling 720p up to 1440p in 21:9. Maybe I have bad taste but I’m enjoying it a lot. Similar to Fallout 4 but with much better writing. Le capitalism in space. Takes itself pretty seriously.

So far I’ve been able to

Compared to Fallout 4 which consisted of “Go shoot these guys who are bad because they’re bad guys”, this is a breath of fresh air. The fact that you can talk to many enemies rather than kill on sight is very nice. The dialogue is revamped and speech checks are a series of luck-based dialogue choices that make it feel a lot less like “I think you should just give me everything for nothing in return”

Really this is all I’ve wanted in a Bethesda RPG. Compared to previous releases I’m comfortable saying that this is the most stable at launch so far. I’m a couple hours in and really haven’t seen many bugs beyond animation glitches.

If you like Bethesda RPGs I fail to see how you wouldn’t like this. Though the “$35 extra to play on labor day weekend” was scummy.

If you’re 1080p gaming you will have little benefit from DLSS. If you’re gaming at 1440p you’ll get a lot of benefit.

Yeah it’s just crazy because if you’re into reddit enough to pay for it you’re probably producing value for them in the form of quality posts.

Many people when I was growing up would joke “I just go there for the wings”.

This man actually does.

It’s sad that he is basically every child’s idol.

Due to falling viewership CNN decided to do a right-wing pivot a few months ago. So now rather than being “center-left” in terms of the US overton window they are right wing.

It’s more of a neofeudalism IMO.
