    I"ve recently switched to zen from Arc and brave due to the manifest 3 changes coming. I pay for orion on Mac and like it and also like sigmaos on there.

    I wish someone out there would put up some alternative on windows even if i had to pay a small fee which i'm not opposed to. Ladybird and servo still both seem to be years out and besides those theres really nothing in the pipe.

    It's still early but the content they have is pretty solid. They have several of the classes in and about 6 zone I believe and just announced they're increasing their team to start really pushing it out. Unless you're just super eager to get in i would wait, but I had preordered years ago and play with friends and what we do I really enjoy.

    PLaying two puzzles games Uncle Chops rocket shop puts you in charge of fixing space ships by following directions.
    and Loco Motive is a point and click in the style of Maniac Mansion or gabriel knight but a much more lighthearted tone. It's been great.

    I'm right there with you. While lab leak doesn't necessarily mean ulterior motives I think that's how most people willr ead it nowadays. I think it was just like most workplaces. Complaceny set it, some rules weren't followed, and bam accidental release.

    But yes the after effects of how china and the US handled it were shameful for both.

    Isn't the problem here that without the actual papers they coudl say thery were talking aobut anything and making a joke? I mean this dude has weasled out of everyhing before hand and it doesn't help when you have every secretary of state and vice president from now back to 2001 having uncontrolled documents discovered in some form.

    I just keep seeing the headlines and thinking the press is like We got him this time and once again the turd is going to slip away because they've allowed too many others to do the same thing without the same results.
