Yes, that’s nuts. I used to be very happy to have less than one and a half megs on something wider than a deck of cards. Now you’re talking about terabytes on something the size of a pinky fingernail. I could store a half dozen in a pocket in my wallet without noticing them. That’s a lot of storage.

For the record, only 6-10 games is also about 5-10 games more than I could store on one of those floppies, and if it was one it was an old game. It’d be akin to putting Halo: CE (not remastered or anything, original) on a micro SD.

So, yeah, storage is plentiful and readily available.

Nah, portable devices use portable storage. The space available in microSD is nuts

And readily available resources. No need to put effort into space saving tricks when space is so easy to come by

I don’t know how anyone but Frakes could be Xanatos

I hope I’m not the only one old enough to be thinking of a Smurf yelling at me to adjust my TV

It never ceases to amaze me that the actor who played an idiot on News Radio, and never really seemed like he was acting, has become what he has.

Given him and Andy Dick both were on there, maybe someone should check in on Dave Foley and Stephen Root.

Sorry, can’t help but make light of this fucker’s bullshit, pardon the French.

It’s no trouble at all, but I don’t know what a seal has to do with any of this or how you spelled phoque so badly

The situation will almost always call for it.

And the rules, as Barbossa would tell you, are more like guidelines. Throw out the ones that hamper fun but take the time to understand which ones those are and why they do.

But no one here can tell you which those will be. They can be different at every table

So more Gmail than G+

Might Bluesky be doing the same?

In fairness, Gmail had a similar invite system when it launched and that’s been way more successful than G+

I’m very much with you there. The other option was rooted in the idea of being invested in improvement for their constituants. As long as you crack down on “contributions” you’d probably also see a lot less PAC money in a whole lot of areas too.

But there should be more motivation for them to see the people succeed. The job itself clearly isn’t enough for a lot of them.

There are a few things that should be tied to other things imo.

Congressional salary? Median income for your district might be a good one. Something related to minimum wage could also work.

she is hesitant about imposing age limits

Y’know, except the minimums that already exist.

If there’s a lower limit there should be an upper one. If we’re acknowledging that different people can be more or less capable in their 80s then we should do the same for late 20s.

But we won’t because anyone young enough is a “dumb kid” to far too many Americans, especially the ones ok with the status quo.

Nah. I’ve had a domain registered with them for years and I just got the email too

And if a home invader with commercially available arms so decided it’s the end of your family. That’s how scale works.

But you don’t give in to a bully to avoid violence. That’s how you get more people/countries bullied.

This is not intended as a threat of violence. This is an analogy to make a point that should be obvious

My quote, not theirs. Also Russia is a bully. Similar to the kind that takes lunch money, but on a much larger scale

You’ve got an important word there. Scale.

Countries aren’t people but they’re made up of them. It wouldn’t take nuclear weapons to annihilate your household.

Russia has invaded Ukraine’s home and tried to lay claim. Now you’re suggesting they give up what was taken from them to satisfy your desire for peace.

The analogy the other person used is fair. In another analogy Russia is nothing more than a bully. We’ve long moved past the time where the advice we give is to just give the bully your money so they don’t beat you up and take it anyway.

I remember playing multiplayer quake 2 with a John McClane skin complete with sounds.

Good times

But it’s not the title of the person involved in the kink
