Dan will never admit he fucked up.

Ironing is very zen.

You can pay without playing

I don’t think they need your charity.

Phosgene isn’t mustard gas. Phosgene is COCl₂ – it works by disrupting the blood-air barrier, eventually causing pulmonary edema. You won’t produce that by mixing ammonia with chlorine bleach.

Mixing ammonia with chlorine bleach can potentially produce nitrogen mustards. These work by producing cyclic aminium ions, and are cytotoxic.

Note that it’s an incredibly bad idea to mix ammonia and chlorine bleach, but it’s still better to avoid misconceptions about chemistry.

Just use bank transfers.

What is this about what what? Did Hamill do something naughty??

Probably this: https://news.yahoo.com/cincinnati-area-impersonator-known-fluke-030610255.html

American Luke Skywalker impersonator who raised money for charities facing child porn charges. May or may not be guilty - I'm not familiar with the case.

Pro tip: don’t mistake a river border for a coastline.

That game really needs Steam Workshop support so people can build and share additional areas.

That isn't Chinese propaganda. It's implying people are "fleeing" Australian currency holdings because Australia's ties to China are too strong. The implication is that China had excessive influence over the current Australian government, causing people to switch away from holding AUD to other currencies/assets. It's "red scare" propaganda designed to capitalise on distrust of China.

The US has no laws requiring the advertised price to be the "bottom line" price. It's just false advertising. But they don't do anything about it because the businesses lobby politicians to protect their racket, and half the country would complain that any government regulation is intently bad.

Shanghai Village used to be the best, but it got too busy and prices went up. Last time I went there, the dumplings were still good, but that was a while ago now.

Oh hey! An easy one! The country itself and all the neighbours are very distinctive shapes. It does treat an external territory as a neighbour, though.

Oh, interesting. Today, one of the neighbours shows a region that isn’t universally recognised as independent in grey.

OK, "limited until you pay more or receive another gold award" to be precise.

If you pay for a reddit premium subscription, you get a number of benefits. The main ones are highlighting new comments since you last viewed a post, and removing at least some ads. It also gives you a monthly allowance of "reddit coins" that you can use to award posts/comments. The bigger awards (e.g. gold) grant the recipient a week of reddit premium features and some coins they can spend themselves.

Most people probably aren't paying for the "reddit coins" per se, they're paying for the other features. Then they spend the coins to award comments and posts that they particularly like.

The fact that "coins" cost money and are limited means people tend to think more about what they spend them on, so the awards are a lot more indicative of what people consider to be valuable content than free up/down votes.

They aren't getting rid of the paid reddit premium subscriptions, they're just getting rid of the current system of "coins" and awards. They say they plan to replace it with something, but there's no indication of what the replacement might be.

Poor Volgren, effectively killed by NSW Labor. It’s owned by Marcopolo now.

Kalamata is the superior olive!

OK, this is just screwed up. I scored a perfect round, but today’s puzzle shows how inconsistent this game is.

That's how IMAX is supposed to work - you're seated close to the screen so it fills a substantial part of your peripheral vision. It works very well for content shot specifically for IMAX, but films intended for conventional cinemas don't work so well, and you need to keep turning your head to look around the screen.
