I never said Toba didn’t happen.

I never said you did.

We’re just debating the degree it affected the entire species

We're not.

We're on the way to acknowledge the fact that the mankind withstood "extinction level" events in the past.

Multiple times.

You should read the entire article.

I'm glad YOU did. This way you can learn that there were "extinction level" events in Mankind's history.

And we survived it.

I curse Death that she didn't take me peacefully during the day.

I mean, the history of the planet involves mass extinction events when 95% of species died off so… not really?

And yet, life is still abundant, diverse and thriving. Isn't it?

Such massive and old platform won't lose its userbase just because it undergoes a wild evolution. Look at .tumblr, facebook...

Instead, ask what it takes for eXTwitter to stop being any important.

This is wrong. So very wrong. "Stop flying as much"? Dude, the majority of people that I know didn't fly airplane a single time in their lives. Small percentage flew perhaps a few times in their decades-long lives.

The lists misses more reasonable things:

• ditch whatever modern "high energy demand" fad there is, be it bitcoin mining or electric car
• spend less time on activities that rely on energy consumption, be it online browsing, or playing high-demand video games
• vote for whatever party there is, that wants to build nuclear power plants and postulate to bring cheap energy to every household
• vote for whatever party plans to do something about urban infrastructure, so that mass transit and bikes become plausible alternative to a car
• as much as possible avoid Chinese stuff, avoid enterprises that outsource their work to China, yes it means skipping yet another iCrap announced
• do not exchange hardware/electronic/digital devices that often, ffs the cpu/gpu/memory values do not matter that much
• don't change your diet, but consider improving it - eat less, waste less, do not overindulge on delicacies
• learn as much as you can about things that reduce your reliance on the society and the products/services it provides

...and as usual, the Mankind survives, adjusting to new reality, be it its own mistakes, or natural disasters.

Life finds the way...

OneDrive is among the most unreliable pieces of software I've ever seen.

It behaves erratic and unpredictably. Its credential manager resembles a blind monkey with Down syndrome that snorts coke to wake up. Webclient is slow, with UI resembling times of Netscape Navigator.

tl;dr: I'd rather put all files on a thumbdrive and travel to wherever they are needed, than rely on Onedrive.

As for M365 - plenty of good applications there. Using them daily.

Headquarters! Mayday! This hit too close to our position!

Try these tricks (providing they are applicable!):

• Lower down the number of enemies under your control, but make them stronger. This way, you won't have to deal with so many pawns.
• Don't force your NPCs to fight to death. Assume that once, say 25% of your pawns are wiped out, their leader halts the fight and asks to parlay, or that if 75% of them/their leader go to the ground, the rest escapes.
• Tucker's Kobolds.
• If a combat action leads to multiple dice rolls one after another, roll all of the dice at once - this speeds up the game.
• Use combat managers/helpers - Excel file, dedicated software, whatever helps you in math, use it.
• If the combat becomes too overwhelming, introduce some unsuspected elements. Sudden earthquake, volcano eruption, castle falling down, incoming of a truly powerful enemy, etc. Have some good in-game explanation for such an event!

These things should be part of in-game experience.

Sitting there and discussing stuff rather than doing it, is a waste of time.

I disagree with some of tips given in this article (for example, Session 0 is a waste of time), but in general it provides good information and useful links.

There are no relevant studies concerning the topic. What might seem like a widespread trend, might as well be merely a local peculiarity.

Thank you, goodnight.

When a former sportsman, now a cripple teaches a youngster "some moves".

Oh, I wouldn't ever suggest that the method does everything its author says it does - the claims of helping in cancer cases and such are wee bit too "optimistic".

But the question was concerning the possibility to build up cold immunity. And the answer is "yes". The method I mentioned absolutely will build up cold's immunity (or resistance, or tolerance if language purism is a factor) in everyone who will attempt it.

There's no magic hocus-pocus in it. It's very simple concept used in many "methods" - Buteyko comes to mind, so does Russian Siberia.

Do you think it is overpriced?

Given its capabilities and the fact that you can buy used MS notebook/360 device for such a price? Of course.

I'm a bit drunk, what is my typical state to visit the Internet and the title merged into "sodomite" before my eyes.

Jesus Christ, isn't the perception a delicate thing...
