I cannot believe there are people still mad about Jackie Robinson. Do you people not have actual problems?

Hegemony: Wars of Ancient Greece

I played it years ago when it came out and it's still really good. It's an indie grand strategy game with low production values but a game play loop I find very satisfying. The fact that it's played on a realistic map of ancient Greece adds a lot of flavor and I love how the geography actually has important implications for strategy.

Giving a for-profit corporation direct access to your brain sounds like a great idea with no downsides whatsoever. I love the thought of worrying about my brain implant having a glitch or facing planned obsolescence.

Edit: OH God I actually read the article and this thing connects to exterior devices. Imagine your brain literally being hacked.

To be specific, this is a pilot program, with the full launch coming later.

Everyone knows pro wrestling is all staged performances but I've never heard that said of boxing. As far as I know those are real.

It sure would be nice if Democrats were as committed to doing good as Republicans are to doing evil.

I guess they could shoot the airliner down if it starts flying toward any towers.

I am pretty skeptical of that number. As of a month ago, even the Russians were 'only' claiming to have inflicted 383 thousand casualties (https://tass.com/defense/1723781), which we can take as an upper bound on the reasonable estimates.

The promise Theranos made was that their tests could be run with a much smaller sample of blood than other labs. Therefore, the results were inherently unreliable even if they used real machines, because they didn't have the sample amount the machines were designed for.

Find a way to work a small amount of exercise into your daily routine. Walk places instead of driving, do some jumping jacks in the morning or before bed, something simple that you can get yourself to do without much stress or planning. If you do it consistently, even 10-20 minutes of exercise a day can make a big difference in the long run.

You are mistaken. Real doctors and patients made serious medical decisions based on the results from her tests.

One of the most troubling patient stories that Scavdis would learn about was the case of a pregnant woman whose Theranos test indicated that she was miscarrying. Gratefully, she later learned, she was not. Another woman revealed to Scavdis the pain and fear she experienced when her Theranos blood test indicated that her life-threatening ectopic pregnancy had been dissolved when, in fact, it had not.

If you google "electric lighter" you can see a wide variety of lighters that work by either making an arc of electricity or just getting really hot.

We have it the same as you. I never really gave it any thought.

Johnson has a lot more spine than I expected, I'll give him that. He's still horrible, though. If we're lucky the spending bill goes through and then he gets removed anyway.

Google "Pentagon audit" to learn more!

Historically, voters have always blamed the ones making extra demands for shutdowns.

Right-wingers are always surprised to face consequences for their actions.

I'm honestly surprised he's still alive. I know executions aren't legal in Norway, but I would have thought that someone would have killed him by now.

For anyone confused about this excellent reference

Yup, Spiritfarer is my answer too. I played up through the first person to pass on and then couldn't keep going.
