The first one reminds me of this classic

Fun fact: there was an attempt to ban the NPD years ago, but it was deemed unnecessary because they never got enough votes to be a serious threat to democracy.

I found a free and foss alternative to OpenAudible that seems to work fine: https://github.com/audiamus/BookLibConnect

There's a sister project to convert the aax (m4b) files, but I found that to be unnecessary.

Clearly you haven't watched NCIS

Oh no, I can only take the train to Grandma once or twice per hour* during the daytime! The calamity!

*Yes, those are absolutely realistic time tables for train connections, Europe has those.

It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.

The new presentation blurb is really annoying bad at hiding itself.

That said, new teams finally supports multiple accounts, so I don't have to keep using a web app for the second one on my work laptop.

Yes. Which is why the latter is not happening.

I'm not defending the subscription model, but that check is very obviously not done during the crash, but during startup, when a couple of seconds delay is not fatal. And if it fails I assume the entire thing just turns off completely.

Uhhh... Every single airbag is computerized. There is always some software involved in the evaluation of the acceleration data.

And noone trusts the software to not have bugs. That's why testing exists on many development levels.

Liquidate the asshats in charge, too.

Historically, it was implemented because in the 1800's, a lot could happen between an election in, say, Wisconsin, and the time the electoral college member arrives in Washington DC.

The US being the oldest democracy might have a nice ring to it, but realistically it's just means that there's a lot of outdated baggage attached.

Gen AA, we're using Excel column names

Aren't forums absolutely notorious for forbidding "thread necromancy"?

This honestly looks really really good. I played a lot of TR2 in my childhood, might pick it up for nostalgia.

I think the "make it look how people remember" is a great approach to remaster graphics. They were iconic and state of the art back when they came out, but PS1 era graphics are among the worst-aged graphics out there.

It's listed on Steam for 26€, including a 10% discount.

We're all brothers in Brother

The entire character of Jabba exists only because he is the crime lord that lives on Tatooine. If Jabba had lived somewhere else, his role in the movies would simply have been filled by some other crime lord that lives on Tatooine. Maybe another Hutt. Maybe Black Sun or the Syndicate.

He's literally the Hutt lord of Tatooine (and nothing else). Where would you expect him to live?

I was there, $name. I was there 4 years ago when the strength of men failed.

Except it's not. You'd have to pull yourself up on one arm to place the second rod a bit higher. It's basically a peg board in mid air, DC20+ strength (athletics) checks are very much called for.
