Genocide. Genocide. The fucking word is genocide. Fine reporting I guess but if the publication is going to directly allude to camps, they might as well use the goddamn correct term.

For directories, it’s permission to cd into it. Read is whether you can list files, and write is remove, rename, or create new files. Don’t ask questions about the secret sticky bit

Sonars are not just a little “ping” noise underwater. They can carry enough energy to kill. It’s not subtle.

It’s obvious you are an independent author of D&D materials with a desire to contribute to the community.

At the same time, it would be nice if you noted anywhere in the post or especially the title that you are advertising D&D materials for sale. It’s fine if you make money off your creations, but irksome when it’s not clear that it is advertising, and also when any post perpetuates the idea that D&D is the default, or only, system.

This. So tired of “reporting” that might as well be science fiction. Write an article when they have a fucking working prototype.

How does anyone have the impression that the UAE is anything other than incredibly corrupt and fucking medieval?

Little tip, since it’s an Electron app, you can reload the view with ctrl-R (cmd-R) on Mac. Saves you a trip to re-open, usually.

The basic measure is “accuracy”: the percentage of moves that are the best move for that position. Computers are, as you would expect, inhumanly good on this measure. Better than the best human players, who will have “inaccuracies” even in their best-played games. It makes spotting cheaters pretty reliable and easy. Niemann has been busted for cheating online repeatedly, and analysis of his in-person play bears the same hallmarks.

Thank you. I also got that vibe early on.

Heartening to hear of law enforcement taking this kind of terrorizing seriously. It remains the exception but I hope that changes.

He’s the answer to the question in Mad Max: Fury Road. Obviously he had and has a lot of help, but so much comes back to him.

It would be a net gain for humanity if the earth swallowed up these studio and streaming execs.

Yeah, go to Russia, dipshit. Exile works for me.

He’s not “testing tolerance”. He is violating the terms of his release. Flagrantly and repeatedly. If the justice system wants to continue to command respect, they need a show-cause hearing followed by remanding him to custody until he stands trial. Just as would happen to literally anyone else intimidating witnesses or threatening the judiciary. It would be controversial only with people with no respect for the law already. It needs to be done.

“After this brutal belittling, gaslighting, and sexual harassment, you’re gonna have a lot of baggage. And the best way to carry it? The LTT backpack!”

Well, you can just ram them out of the way with your firetruck. Obviously that’s not a great option either, but if the FD does that then any damages are on the robot-taxi company.

Ding ding ding! We have a safe mode of robot transit: trains. See, we know exactly where they will go because they run on rails. Literally.

Observation is one I really enjoyed. Mild puzzling, tension but not really the sort that kills you, and a fun, mind-bending story. Also the title track is just amazing.

Chest reconstruction surgery would also include breast reductions. So, trans men. That’s who don’t like breasts. On themselves, anyway.

I’m speculating but I’d assume “reconstruction” since they are keeping and sometimes re-using existing tissues. Someone gets facial reconstruction, not construction, if e.g. they get mauled in an animal attack. You are restoring things to what the patient is comfortable with. A trans person may not have been injured but what they want is for their body to be fixed.
