Switch Leclerc and Sainz back and forward and then double stack them.

I wonder if they'll have to lift and coast if they underfueled because of potential safety cars.

If F2 is anything to go by today, it'll be A due to so many people going off. Which heavily increases the likelihood of another driver dive-bombing him, not being able to brake, and to take him out because it's glory or nothing. My money would be on Leclerc doing that because his position is being threatened by Sainz.

Foreign language cards are entirely legal in official competition. I bought many of my dual colour lands on eBay from a German dude. Always passed deck inspection. Granted that's literally over 20 years ago and I never placed higher than 17th in qualifiers, but I can't imagine they changed that rule.

When I still actively played and wanted to try new decks easily 10 of my cards were proxies. No point in spending €20 on a rare if it won't make your deck better. The people I tested with did the same. We didn't even bother printing them though. We just wrote the name down and the properties if we didn't know them by heart.

And like others stated there's many formats including ones that even prohibit rare cards.

And before WotC came out with a decent online way to play we also had an online client in which you could import all the cards ever, though I doubt it was superlegal.

If you only have to use it 15 minutes every week it's probably not worth getting to know.

I work in a Windows shop, so I love everything being an object, most of the time. At least for the things that are worked out completely.

It's great for things you need to iterate or just for figuring out what you can do by piping a result to get-member. If you are interested in getting better at powershell at some point, I highly recommend Powershell in a month of lunches. (Also because I like Manning's model where they automatically offer the digital versions of books they sell, and also offering free previews of the entire book, given enough time)

Sure there are side-effects but in that case the side effects were worth having versus millions of deaths

I mean, one of the most commonly mentioned side effects was something that happened in a much more serious form with a real COVID infection. It's the easiest way to meet antivaxxers in the middle if they're arguing in good faith. Even if there's a significant side effect of myocarditis, it's not nearly as common or heavy as the myocarditis die effect of an actual infection.

I don't have high hopes for this circuit. Even if people want to let you pass, it seems hard to pass. I love the theory of the layout and the banked corners are wonderful, but current F1 cars just seem too big to race here.

It does make me wish, they'd force cars to be smaller again.

I wish I could say the same but if you want to date you have to here. I despise and absolutely hate how you have to you use a phone number to register. And then every contact you have can add you to a group so everyone there now can have your number.

I've had a stalker before and I hate that stuff like that makes it trivially easy for her to get my number again. I literally can't understand how women are okay with absolutely shitty systems like this. I really can't repeat enough how much I strongly hate WhatsApp and how everyone else thinks it's so good for exactly the reason that I hate it. It's too easy to send messages despite me never giving you my number to begin with. SMS is the same but you can't add me to a group without my permission and share my number with a group of people I don't know.

I loved BG2 and it was one of my favourite games ever for a very long time. Though when I read the old BG sub on Reddit it seems people there disliked everything I loved and hyperfocused on things I just considered part of the vehicle to deliver an amazing story that allowed so much freedom and depth that made you feel emotional and connected. I had tried to replay BG2 but the mechanics are so, so outdated now and distracting.

BG3 over delivers on the choice depth, story and connection but does so with an updated, fun and much better engine with much more mechanics.

I found that making an appointment, no matter how far in the future makes them stop calling.

I donate plasma (AB+) as often as I can, usually 2 weekly as that is the limit here. But if you're single the 4 month halt for having sex with a new partner is annoying because they will keep calling while they say you can't donate.

Yes, MM DD YY only makes sense when you're speaking

For many people it doesn't. It's something that's exclusive to the US. In British English it's day before month when speaking.

It's something that is taught in school as "remember that the Americans say date before month so you don't get confused". But in a business context it's bloody annoying you don't switch to the international standard.

In British English you say the date before the month as well. I know that even saying the month first sounds very jarring too me.

Literally my first thought too. Such a great unique game. You as the player character are insignificant but you're not boring or bland.

I would guess it's too remind everyone that if it weren't for the combination of a team getting the rules right, a poor decision to try to nerf them by raising ride-height gone terribly wrong and one the most talented driver driving for the best team, this season would be entirely unpredictable and everyone would say the new regulations are delivering what they promised.

I paid for sync for Reddit, I donated to my Lemmy instance and I'll pay for Sync for Lemmy once I decide for myself whether I take the subscription, simply ad free or one time payment for ultra. As there's still fixes to the pricing going on I'll wait out for that

I guess I'm biased with paying for software since I work at a company that makes software it also offers in its' own SaaS platform. I literally maintain the infrastructure so I'm intimately familiar with those costs. I appreciate anyone who offers software and service for free. But there's always a cost and if you want premium service you'll need to pay for it.

That is ofcourse another justification and easy one since paying for sync is almost nothing to me. I do hope the free Sync keeps being a good alternative for anyone who wants to try it.

Not caring what you do on your pc, within reason, is not the same as not monitoring for dangerous actions that could endanger your network or company (and client data). I don't care what my colleagues do on their pc either. As long as it doesn't cause me more work.

Logging security incidents is work. So we do block a lot of websites and keep an eye on what you try to run. If we see something wrong we just talk to you and explain why we don't want you to do that. 99,9% of the time everybody is happy after that.

The idea of this being something you can get fired for or that's taken into consideration for your evaluation is insane though. We have rights as workers. Keeping the network safe means I can see some extent of what you do. Your boss or their boss has no right to that information unless you state you will continue endangering the network. Even in that case I wouldn't even tell them the websites tbh.

Security software isn't tracking software. It should be able to hook into every current semi popular browser without you being able to disable it.

On the other hand, allowing users who don't know the answer to the question you're asking to both install VPN software and allow them this kind of traffic is a compliance violation to begin with.

Having a talk about it doesn't mean they care. They'd just want you to stop doing that on the work network.

If you're using company hardware on a company network and our security software says you're visiting ransomware like URLs, it's very much legal monitoring as it's for a technical reason. It's probably mandatory since you need to do this to protect the personal data your company stores.

More often than not you probably signed a document stating you understood and accepted this.
