Just because they should, doesn’t mean they must. There is a legal obligation to pay the bill, but there is no legal obligation to tip the server.

I’d argue that in NA, the tip is expected and basically the default, and you have to do something wrong to lose that tip. Racism and/or legal status of the server is not a valid reason, though.

A lot of them aren’t even aware that New Mexico is a US state.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Puerto Rico is a US territory, but not a state. So they are citizens, but residents of PR lack some representation in a lot of things in the US.

Have Russia and China ever threatened Greenland? Because I can only think of one country that actually has.

This is about their right to block a range of IP addresses. I don’t think they’re suing for damages.

The younger they start, the longer they can work.

Yeah, imagine getting rabies symptoms, knowing you’re going to die, and having no memory of any event that may have led to the infection.

Ok that’s stupid af, but also why is that even an option?

Where are you getting that 2%?

I assume that 2 rabies deaths in 10 years for however many organ transplants in that same period is much less than a 2% incidence. A quick google tells me that there were over 48k organ transplants in the US in 2024 alone.

If someone died of rabies, it would certainly be known that it was rabies. The symptoms are pretty obvious and it’s not likely it would be mistaken for anything else.

More likely, they were infected and died of some other cause before symptoms started showing, which can take as little as two weeks or potentially over a year.

Maybe you should slow down on the hate speech, pal. You’re getting awful crimey with that talk.

Basically, yeah. You can also water your plants with stuff that you wouldn’t drink too, instead of letting them die because of an emergency happening.

It’s not that it specifically needs to be non-potable, just that you shouldn’t waste drinking/cooking to wash yourself and flush toilets when you don’t know how long issues can last.

Rain water and eavestrough runoff water is fine for flushing and cleaning, and it doesn’t need to be kept in food-safe containers.

We may feel certain of things, but we weren’t there to witness anything. We didn’t see anything happen, and are only learning of the details after they’ve been filtered through several people. We don’t know anything about motive, potential external threats, anything really. All we know is that this woman was strangled, and it is likely he did it.

Of course everyone is pathetic except us. It’s the only logical conclusion.

There was a period of time where a game being on CD was enough to prevent most copying. Games would read data off the disc, and some of those that didn’t need to still required the disc to be in the drive.

When CD burners became cheap enough for everyone to own, they needed new methods of DRM, like authentication, and custom burning methods that couldn’t be copied the normal way.

What’s even worse is they all have the same invisible friend, it’s just their rules that are different. God, Allah, Jehovah, Jah, YHWH, whatever you wanna call him, all the same guy. But somehow all the rules about what you’re allowed to do and how you need to worship, those are all in different books written by different people at different periods in history.

Just 1% of shareholders voted to approve the proposal

1% of shareholders, or the holders of 1% of shares?

What games should do is tell you the impact that settings have on performance. Just a text blurb that mentions how significantly you can expect a setting to matter. I’ve seen it in a few games where some settings are marked with something like heavy performance penalty but it would be nice for more things to be labeled.

Looking at something like the task manager will tell you your CPU or GPU is maxed out, but how do you know what to change to correct this? Can you just change a few barely-noticeable settings, or are you expected to replace your CPU? If the recommended is CPU X, then why is my CPU Y maxed out? If I exceed the recommended build, why is my performance so bad?

Often the recommended build is not enough to max out graphics at reasonable framerates, for example.

I live in Texas, and I recognize we would probably be able to handle our own disaster response

The state that famously shuts down when it snows?
