But as billionaires they might get a good few decades of living like royalty under a fascist regime before they inevitably fall out of favor (and a window).

Unfortunately the VST (Very Small Tweezers) project is running a decade behind schedule and needs an additional $10 billion in funding, but the older RSP (Rather Small Pliers) project could be retrofitted to support photon retrieval with a bit of light-absorbent paint.

I would have been happy with the change if they dropped the slot system entirely for cargo now that it serves no purpose (equipment gets bonuses based on slot and adjacent gear, cargo does not). For some unfathomable reason they kept the manual slots for cargo and it makes finding anything specific in a large cargo hold a nightmare.

This is compounded by their terrible crafting system where you have to manually pick every single component of a recipe rather than just clicking on the recipe and having it grab stuff from cargo for you. Cargo should have been turned into a sortable list like in nearly every other RPG.

The inventory has been one of the primary sources of complaints since day one, but despite several major overhauls they haven't fixed the core issues, just made it slightly less inconvenient to use each update.

Awesome news! They removed them from the menu during COVID, but it looks like they're slowly rolling them back out now that supply lines aren't so strained.

The Angus burgers? I loved the mushroom and swiss one, still mad that they're gone.

That and their breakfast bagel sandwiches.

He was once shaved for a medical procedure, and was so traumatized by the experience he can only hide his belly against his owner's scalp and pray the vet takes her hair instead.

But time flies. Do you have a plan for that?

Cancer can appear in anyone, at any time, no matter how healthy you are. In fact your body is constantly generating the precursors to cancer due to unavoidable genetic damage (age, sunlight, cosmic radiation, pure random chance during cell division), but has processes to eliminate them before they spread. Cancer is when these processes fail and the damaged cell is allowed to reproduce. Being healthy only reduces the number of dice you're rolling.

Colorectal cancer is especially insidious as the colon is constantly shedding cells (the more often cells split, the higher the cancer risk), and often there aren't any symptoms until it's too late. Everyone should get checked out periodically.

And CPUs with higher core counts tend to have lower clock speeds per core, leading to games sometimes running much better on mid-range hardware than on the latest and greatest.

Are you talking about the one showing conservatives tend to have an underdeveloped sense of empathy, or are there other studies?

The lawyers also said [...] that Maxwell was immune under a 2007 non-prosecution agreement between Epstein and federal prosecutors in Florida.

Oh yes, please bring the fucked up details of that agreement back under public scrutiny. Please.

No, it's actually quite brilliant. Google results return mainly AI posts, and Reddit is now 90% AI regurgitated crap. It's a match made in hell.

Not to mention people would arrive at their 10 minute appointment with a list of 5 completely separate medical issues that they'd been saving up for months. So either you do a full history, examination, diagnosis and treatment plan +/- prescription in 2 minutes for each problem, or the 10 minute appointment just becomes a 20 minute appointment. And then you document everything in your lunch break or after you're supposed to have gone home 🙃

Here in the US, the last time I went to a doctor's office they had signs posted saying that those under free healthcare could only discuss a single issue per billed visit. Which sure, saves the medical staff a ton of time and scheduling problems, but also means the most vulnerable (and least able to take time off to visit the doctor) have to prioritize health issues and let minor ones go untreated/undiagnosed until they become major ones.

Healthcare is a mess.

Two groups join lemmy.ml: those who know it's the instance run by the core Lemmy developers and join hoping for a stable experience, and those who join because of the devs' political beliefs. This leads to a weird mix of actual quality content and tankie propaganda.

I wish it was all the latter so I could block the instance without losing the former.

alien.top is an instance that scrapes Reddit and mirrors posts and comments, creating bot accounts with the same username as the original poster. The intent was to make it easy for users to migrate away from Reddit (just claim the bot account with your username), but everyone pointed out the obvious ethical problems of mass plagiarizing and how nobody on Reddit can see any replies you make. It was also super spammy and 99℅ of the comments are from those scraper bots, so most instances defederated from them.

Hey, give them a break. They're a persecuted minority!

Or they persecute minorities. One of the two.

Now all that's left is to try a pickle smoothie to confirm your theory.

Go to https://lemmy.world/settings and turn off "Bot account".

I love Games Workshop

It just struck me that I've never heard a fan say that before. It's always "I love the games, but hate GW's cash gouging/trigger-happy legal team/handling of new editions". Have they gotten better in recent years?
