That looks like a band-it strap puller/tightener.

I forget what the actual name is, but it can latch onto a metal strip and pull it tight around some digs to keep boxes and canisters in place, or to hold a strong back repair plate on a damaged pipe

Costliest blaze in history so far…

Nah, icicles are occasionally sharp…

I’m going to start calling them Tesla hatchbacks.

I won’t even pick up a new game if it’s got more than 3 types of tokens/currencies anymore.

Especially if it looks like it takes more time to set up and explain the rules than it takes to actually play the game.

Considering that a US hospital will charge you a few grand for even looking in their direction these days, $2,500.22 for something serious, like seizures, sounds like a steal :(

Ideally, it would be the same word over and over, so that we can trick the AI into ending all sentences with the word. Bonus points if it is the word “buffalo”, since it can from a grammatically correct sentence.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

I’ve had a lot of fun with Book of Demons, which is a bit more simplified, but really respects whatever amount of time I have to put into it!

The only things in that range around these parts are going to be burnt out husks of a house with a cheery “fixer-upper” in the listing title…

It’s worse because they are a suicidal death cult.

They wish to bring about their version of the end of the world and are doing everything they can to make it happen. All the while, they are dragging the rest of the world down with them.

God forbid Federal Highway Administration or the Department of Transportation actually work on removing distractions along highways…

Honestly, if I’m seeing more than say two or three currencies or kinds of bits to keep track of, it’s a no for me. I don’t care how much I’m in love with the concept.

Mainly because I don’t have the available real estate at my place to break out every other War & Peace- worth of board game, but especially if it looks like the setup time is will take longer than playing an actual game.

If it is an industry problem, then this sort of event is usually what snowballs into actual change.

The tip of this case, I believe, isn’t just the caffeine content, but the fact that it:

• Wasn’t exactly labeled as a high-caf drink.
• Was often next to, or in place of, non-caf drinks.
• Was marketed as part of an unlimited drinks program.

While the company isn’t required to cater to individuals with very specific tolerances of the simulant, they likely had data available to them that suggests that this outcome was always a possibility, yet they supposedly ran the product until people died.

Yeah, but nobody’s drinking 3 30 oz coffees in one sitting. Nor is coffee really marketed as a health drink.

Found this as well:

A 30-ounce, large-size Panera Charged Lemonade has about 390 milligrams of caffeine, about four times the amount found in a cup of coffee.

I made the same switch earlier this year. The only real issues I can recall were learning to update flatpak manually because it holds up the other updates if I don’t do that through the Konsole first.

Granted, that might just be my system, but I generally have had far fewer issues with Tumbleweed than I’ve ever had with Mint.

Oh, and my art tablet gets tagged as a game controller for some reason, but it works for what I need it for so I haven’t bothered to fix it.

I’ve found that OpenSuse Tumbleweed is better than both Ubuntu and Linux Mint.

They set out to make a distro that is kept up to date perpetually instead of managing different versions.

Yeah, those corporate types usually can’t see past their next quarterly earnings report.

The fact remains that this playbook failed rather drastically, earlier this year even, with the D&D Franchise making similar headlines, and it wasn’t even enough to give them pause.

This also could be their original goal, but they tried to pull the “throw it at the wall and see what sticks” and then dialed it back to try and make it not seem as bad.

Like when the justice system adds on a bunch of superfluous charges in order to make their primary ones stick.

Iirc it uses webtorrent, which is a torrent protocol that runs in-browser for the most part.

Small file live on their servers using end-to-end encryption for the 24 hours.

Larger files are treated as a peer-to-peer torrent, which means that the tab needs to stay open until your downloadees are done grabbing it.

There fact that you couldn’t even backtrack to pick up the summons you missed was a major letdown, and it was all downhill from there.
