Bus Flipper Simulator (PC)
It's House Flipper, but on the open road!
As an RV tiny home "enjoyer" (yes the quotes mean I'm being sarcastic as f), Bus Flipper caught my attention during the most recent Steam Nextfest. I checked out the demo, impressed enough to wishlist it. I bought it on launch (as a bundle with another car based sim I'm reviewing next) and while it's the same game as the demo, I'm a bit disappointed with the full game, but I'm n…

Interestingly enough, these NATO exercises includes Danish, German and French troops. And that's all.
A quite limited subset of NATO, innit?

Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told
The government needs to stop children using virtual private networks (VPNs) to bypass age checks on porn sites, the children's commissioner for England has said. Dame Rachel de Souza told BBC Newsnight it was "absolutely a loophole that needs closing" and called for age verification on VPNs. VPNs can …

Stringy Constraints on Modular Flavor Models
We investigate stringy constraints on moduli spaces in modular flavor models by analyzing moduli-dependent threshold corrections in heterotic string vacua. While moduli play a crucial role in determining the flavor structure of fermions predicted by modular flavor models, the parameter space in which their vacuum expectation values are allowed has not been fully explored. In this work, within the framework of perturbative heterotic string theory on toroidal orbifolds, we derive constraints on t…

Another piece of sad US science news: Fulbright board is resigning to protest government interference. When I lived in Beijing as a student, I shared an apartment with a Fulbright scholar. She was so accomplished and amazing, and did really important work (in addition to volunteer teaching at a local middle school, impacting countless families - I wonder how much that achieved for US-China relations)
