Except where fantasy has SMGs in common use or where Sci-fy has magic. That goes between Spell-jammers and Manga, or basically, all of the above. Sorry, I’m sucking at name suggestions atm.

The sole role of government above the city level is to promote freedom of the movement of people, freeing slaves, and the prevention of slavery.

If prisoners in El Salvador wish to be housed in Norweigan prisons, let them. If people want to go Mad-max levels of stupid in un-civilized deserts, let them. If people want to live in communes/commune-adjacent(where you’ll find me), let them. Meanwhile, gods help you big-city folk, I don’t see the attraction of residency there, but if you want gun control and 24/7 sex-change/abortion clinics, go for it.

If battery acid tasted bad, old corroded batteries would be a lot less dangerous in general.

We have communities, tags, and titles about as long(longer, I think?) as tweets used to be. There’s also the expandable description text, which seems plenty long enough to include even entire articles. If all that is not enough to determine that clicking a link is or isn’t worthwhile, the comments usually deliver.

Your subconscious was farming those up-doots.

We you meaning “pertinent” or “appropriate”? Incentive has always been a noun in my experience.

Being generous to him, few places have such a stereotype of people being willing to take his advice as Japan. By which I mean, for 90% of the world, stating his opinion is even more pointless.

On The Other Hand, maybe he just wanted to try to get people to do it for his own gratification, and picked the most vulnerable targets he could think of.

I would have line-bored it, but I won’t pretend I have even an average machinist’s experience with making my own setups, nevermind that the size you were going for was way larger than I anticipated from the pilot drill used.

Hopefully, the bounty gets claimed, AND EU law burries this shitheel company for such an absurd rug-pull. The devices demonstrably require nothing that would require on-going expense on their part, and without that, there is no excuse for them to charge any subscription fees.

When buying isn’t owning, piracy and hacking are not theft. In this case, the company should be liable for effectively stealing existing owners’ devices, and owe them all full refunds + damages.

Define stupid and annoying? Does he live with these animals or is he going out of his way to tell your friend this for no reason? If both animals are drinking from water bottles, that sound can be extremely annoying when trying to sleep.

Also, there’s a big difference between “They’re so loud, I could kill them!” and going into detail about various methods for doing so. Rabbit stew has been pretty common in the past as well.

Indeed.

From the title, sounds like Epistory: Typing Chronicles.

I would be more interested in themed favicon sets like on Android or Linux DE’s, and any way that would avoid Google or lock-in/forced updates to such as with the Play store or Windows I would avoid like the plague.

Gimme back .dll’s full of icons I can create and edit to my liking. For modernization, meta-text(url or application name) for each icon instead of referencing “icon #x in this .dll”, and a format more usefull than .dll’s full of icons that all have to be the same size(and .tiff, .giff, or bitmaps at that, when jpeg and vector formats exist), but that’s about it.

All this re-inventing-the-wheel/web2.0/3.0 shit is geared towards creating dependency and lock-in in the stupidest ways possible.

My youngest son has a story just like this, but he would have been a toddler without anything to play Roblox on in that time-frame.

Damn, I wish he liked anything like beetles or stamps or whatever, even half as much as he likes the most disappointing sorts of video games, and no, I don’t mean trash games, I mean abandonware of the RFID/janky-peripherals variety. Oh, and fortnight/roblox.

High Altitude it says. Likely above the tree-line, but that’s not information that has been provided.

I didn’t figure you were advocating anything of the sort. We wouldn’t have to invade, unless the goal were more to kill a bunch of people. These countries may not be happy to just become states or territories, but EU style open borders with a mutual defense pact? They would jump at it.

The main reason these countries have closed borders and what-not is because the US pressures them to. Creates captive populations, poverty, and more crime than otherwise need occur. Nevermind the drugs and human trafficking that arrises from treating victims as “illegals”/criminals.

Such NSFW images and videos aren’t hosted on other instances. Not mine, and not yours, sadly.

If only the administration actually cared about things like economics and national security, integrating all those countries and their peoples instead of trying to deport them would make a lot of sense, but your solution doesn’t hurt enough brown people.

More to the point of your post, Coastlines count as borders, so this would actually dramatically expand the “frontline”.

Destroying the Horny Layer on someone who is already not feeling their best: solid call.
