T156,

I think they’d be more likely to say homosexuality is illogical and repress it. Could make an interesting plot point.

The converse is that making a specific distinction based on sexuality like that is also illogical in what is supposedly the enlightened 24th century Federation.

They’re not the ancients of the 21st century, who would be so concerned with such primitive things.

T156,

Highly unlikely. Minecraft has a lot of quirky code, and the mods would have been built around that code.

For all intents and purposes, the clones are a different game entirely, and unless the mod author specifically goes out of their way to make their mod compatible with the clones, or a different version for it, they won’t work.

T156,

They probably don’t care either way, as long as it makes the gay go away.

T156,

Anyone know how skipping breakfast contributes? It seems like it would do the opposite.

T156,

It probably already is, or is part of one, since those investigating sexual exploitation would check traces in photos and things to get.an idea of location.

There is/was a website for the general public to contribute, if they knew of the locations in the photo.

T156,

Even before that, considering the music division put copy-protection rootkits on CDs that often broke computers.

T156,

It’s out for a while, but people find it to be not as good as the first game.

The babies going on formula means that the mother’s milk supply dries up when the baby isn’t having any, and that they’re then dependent on it, since it is quite difficult to start producing milk again after.

'Run, run, run': Chaos at a Sydney mall as 6 people stabbed to death, and the suspect fatally shot (apnews.com)

A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured....

No auto-knife is complete without a Singlcldpy

Original Fallout lead Tim Cain loves the new show, but remains baffled by how 'destructive' fans can act toward 'people who are trying to create things' (www.pcgamer.com)

Cain appreciated the performances and storytelling, but singled out how the show nailed the Fallout “vibe” as its biggest achievement. “I was just looking at all the props,” he said of one scene. “I realized after a few minutes went by that I had not followed the dialogue at all, because I was so engrossed by it...

T156,

i’m pretty sure the subtext of “woke” is “there are women and non-white people here”

Or that the women in it aren’t explicitly tailored to their tastes. There’s a post going around some places about someone trying to “correct” the image of one of the characters to make them less “woke” (they were wearing a baggy jumpsuit). The resulting character’s back-end looks like it’s been plastiform sealed.

France votes to ban ‘forever chemicals,’ exempting frying pans (www.politico.eu)

The French National Assembly on Thursday unanimously adopted a bill aimed at restricting the manufacture and sale of products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — also known as PFAS or “forever chemicals.” The MPs, backed by the government, voted to exclude kitchen utensils from the scope of the text....

T156,

In this case the oil is silicone oil, and while it performs amazingly and is totally inert and harmless it sets a lifespan for the pan. Once the oil is depleted, the pan is worthless.

Could you not re-oil the pan like you do with steel and iron pans?

T156,

Sort of? Past a certain income level ($97 kAUD), you pay an additional levy (1 - 2%) on your taxes for the public system (which goes into supporting it), but otherwise can access it for relatively low cost/free if you’re a citizen, in an insurance-like system (if you go to a place that doesn’t do it automatically, but still qualifies, you can get a rebate).

You can avoid paying the tax if you opt for private health insurance, and don’t use the public system altogether.

Neither of them are tied to employment, although some employers do offer health insurance as an extra addition in pay package bundles, like they do with cars and things.

T156,

Enough. One screen may cost $5, but if it replaces 10 - 20 15¢ buttons, that’s still worthwhile.

Especially since there would be labour cost savings installing buttons, and not having to spend time installing spacers replacing those buttons for different trims, when they can just do it all in one screen, and fold it into the infotainment system install cost.

T156,

Also that the alternative was burning cities with the people still in them, and they’d seen that, which was have been more horrifying and slow than a nuclear conflagration.

T156,

It’s also indiscriminate and persistent, so you could have medics and things caught in the crossfire, even if they arrive afterwards, and weren’t the intended targets.

T156,

Maybe not organs per se, but it’s still a good start, since they’re a good deal more complicated than cartilage, and the immune system tends to be more finicky about them.

T156,

It’s not that they’re specifically throwing coins at the engine, but that the superstition is to chuck some coins at a thing to try and get some luck on your side. Like a mix of wishing well and good luck charm.

The engine is probably because it’s accessible, and they’re unlikely to miss when hitting it. You also just don’t hear stories from people who do chuck a coin at the wing, or into the cabin, because it doesn’t cause any problems, so doesn’t make news.

T156,

Particularly in some areas where you might have a community whose most technological device was a tractor a few short years ago, a bunch of developers show up, throw money at them, and they’ve basically time-travelled into the future when they decide to use that money to go on a trip.

T156,

It’s a little reminiscent of Cuba in a way. They’re still under Cold War/Red Scare sanctions for whatever reason, and that’s not done well for their ability to grow and develop.

T156,

Even the old ones aren’t particularly immune. A pokemon gold cartridge sells for only $10 less than a brand new Pokemon game at a fair few of the games stores I’ve been to.

T156,

How long before it’s less n(A) games, and more screaming?

T156, (edited )

But you said it yourself. It violates the rules, and should not be posted here.

So why leave it in the hopes of it passing muster?

T156,

Minecraft. It’s fun to just take some time off from all the survival aspects of things, and enjoy a bit of creative mode building.

T156,

I just keep them in the box the keyboard came in. It’s already got places for all of those, and not using it seems wasteful.

It also saves having to buy a container, but I also don’t have a lot of replacement switches that might need a box or bag to put them in.
