He would be so lost without empty conservative buzzwords

They’ve attacked ships from countries that have absolutely nothing to do with that conflict.

maybe something badass like “Dark Brandon”

Mainly I was pining for turn-based Phantasy Star. I’d accept DnD. I was out of the gaming world from 2005-2020. I could have looked harder, it’s true, and that’s why I’m asking questions.

Is that how those work? I’ve been thinking about BG3. I suppose the first RPG I ever played was a Gold Box SSI game set in the Forgotten Realms so I’d probably like it.

One of my favorite series, Phantasy Star, moved from a turn-based RPG in the 80s to an action RPG since 20 years ago (PSO, PSO2). What if I don’t want to play an action game? I don’t get what happened to the old style of RPG.

Your belief is that the Houthis are doing this to stop pollution? I thought it was supposed to be on behalf of Palestinians.

I tried to make it easy by giving conversions. The only one I didn’t explain is 1/2 a lb which is 8 oz or 225 g, and of course imperial measurements are absurd.

No, half a pound is 8 ounces, or 225 grams. Sure, that’s still a lot.

Yes, it’s a lot, but what if you’re moving houses, going camping, or giving it to someone? It’s legal to give weed to people. It’s like being allowed to brew beer at your house but you can’t leave home with more than a six pack.

Colorado did the same thing. As of last time I dealt with it, you can grow six plants… which could put out like 12 pounds (5.5 kg) if you’re good at it, but you can’t travel with that because you were only supposed to have one ounce (28g) in your possession. Drive somewhere with 1/2 a lb? Same bullshit as always, second degree felony. The cops managed to to keep it illegal after legalization.

I’d reverse it. “Security researcher who has been thanked by Apple for helping fix bugs in MacOS found to be a serial fraudster”

Absolutely no reason to suggest that Apple “forgave” him, or that it was a mistake. I hate whoever wrote this article.

Well, that was a pretty cluelessly written article. The two things are entirely unrelated. The headline seems to imply that Apple changed its mind about the fraudulent activity and was wrong, but that is not what the details support.

Yep, I can’t speak on the decline of quality because it was a site that was early to dark pattern bullshit. It would show up prominently in Google search and then tease “you have to sign up to read the answers”. Uh, no. Reminds me of expert sexchange or whatever that site was that got smashed by stackoverflow for similar reasons.

Yeah, good point. It wasn’t in all caps.

I know a dude who has a daughter named ISIS, born before ISIS was a problematic name. Haven’t talked to him in years but I wonder how that’s going.

“Necessary legal permission”?

I’m sure they have sufficient infrastructure to route elsewhere if Russian servers are inaccessible. I doubt anyway that servers in the rest of the world are typically served from Russia since that would be inefficient.

Yandex has a large office in Amsterdam. Not sure where its all served from but they have offices in 12 countries.

Nice! I have a friend with an original Berzerk standup.
‘intruder alert…’

Interesting. I was wondering how it would work at all with such a thin atmosphere. The author could chill out a bit though.
