Remember having stacks of boot floppies for each game so you could optimize memory allocation depending on the need?

The Pippin 2.

I’m on the fence about ending pardons altogether because of political prosecutions.

But the power needs limits. Make a pardon require individual names and criminal codes, no blanket pardons. Maybe even wait until after a conviction. Give congress the power to reverse a pardon within a year. And definitely no pardons for people within a president’s own administration (including himself, obviously).

The US needs something like 15-20 new constitutional amendments.

Any legislation can be rewritten too easily (or just plain ignored, apparently) the next time a half-witted authoritarian casts Mass Charm and enough people fail their WIS check.

One example: congressional war and emergency declarations are invalid without an end date no more than 1 year from the initial declaration. Congress can renew with 60% necessary to keep it alive. Make everyone go on the record repeatedly to keep shooting wars going. The President can declare an emergency alone, but it only lasts a week, then congress has to approve to keep it going.

My wife will scrub the dishes, then put them in the dishwasher, and not start it because it’s not completely full.

They’re already so clean, the next person in the kitchen has a very difficult time telling if it has been run or not. JUST too dirty to eat from again, but also too clean to see at a glance. So annoying. I even got one of those clean/dirty magnets so we can signal to everyone, but then people forget to switch it.

Check their account history. They may as well be on an AI company marketing team.

I haven’t used revanced in a while, but Fennic + ubo + sponsor block should get you to basically the same place unless they’ve added new features since I used it last.

No separate app required.

• Windows 7 was used to browse more web pages on a subset of sites that use the Statcounter plugin, and mostly in one area of the world.

But that doesn’t make a good headline.

I graduated in 2001 in a tech-adjacent field, and my first job was as a security guard making barely over minimum wage. Things get bad. Things get better.

It’s an epidemic of “how do we cut staff by 15-20% without paying millions in severance” with no regard to what it means for the company beyond the next four fiscal quarters.

The security of their bank balance.

‘People who spend too much time on Facebook’ overlaps with ‘People who need cheap lawyers.’

Well they say all new tech is driven by the porn industry, so, um…

Odyssey counts, right?

Then you all get to hate that one person who already read a 15 year old textbook they found in the trash instead of me, who can’t teach as well as literal garbage!

I had been meaning to start Game of Thrones, but hearing that the ending sucks kind of killed all interest for me.

Might be too late. They changed the policy a few years ago when they introduced mod packs. They didn’t want entire packs to fail if one person pulled their mod, so total deletion was disabled.

Folks can still hide their mods and make new individual downloads impossible, but it’s still there in the background.

(All this is from memory. I hope I’m wrong)

I’ve always maintained that the first was a fine game that was tanked by the price. It was priced to drive gamepass subs, not sell the game. At $35-40, it would have been received much better, imo. Years later, now that it’s more appropriately priced, it seems to be more well-reviewed.

Unfortunately the second is going down the same path. It may take 5+ years for the game to be appreciated to its fullest (assuming no glaring issues), through no fault of the devs.

This ailment is called “being over 40.”
