They're building a system that allows you to avoid censorship that you don't like. I'd focus on that part.

Unfortunately, I can't read the article due to a paywall. Given my current experiences, however: no.

It'd be fair to say we aren't building enough decent inexpensive housing, but I don't feel like there's enough decent expensive housing, so it's moot.

In that order, right?

Probably not. I don't really want to be around people who act like me. I've done a decent job of reigning in my most asocial behaviours, but they still get through.

On the flip side, other people seem to like the version of myself that I currently project, so I think I'm doing a good enough job.

I'm hoping to move back to the town where my friends and family live. I've been in my current place for a few years, and it's fine, but I feel like my life is on hold.

I'm kind of looking forward to my kids getting a little more mature. Parenting lil kids is not what I'm cut out for. But it's bittersweet - that gets them closer to moving out and starting their lives without me.

Good luck on the job hunt. I hope you manage to find something in vfx.

I really like dbrand cases. They still stock Pixel 6a cases.

reading text isn’t the easiest with all the colors and blurs everywhere

Agreed - I like the look of these things in an abstract sense, but it makes the text really hard to read. I assume hope there's a way to disable it in accessibility settings.

"And we're sooooooo evil! We don't have any friends, family, loved ones, children, pets, or other responsibilities! Here we are, a victimless crime waiting to happen!"

10 months is enough of a cool-down time for this meme.

The rogue did it. We all saw her. She's always burning things.

As a player, I loved it when the DM would have secondary fires burning as part of the effect. It's really fun when your actions change the world.

But then the building might collapse. 🤷‍♂️

(Which is also fun)

I feel like Rust would be some complaint from the compiler saying that some apparently unrelated struct can't be Send/Sync for some inscrutable reason. Or something about pinning a future.

What about charades? If your family is too shy for that, you can get them to draw instead of acting things out.

Huh. TIL. Thanks for that.

Do you still possess this talent?

A sixth man, Maltese businessman Yorgen Fenech — who was among those with close ties to the Muscat government — currently awaits trial on charges that he masterminded the Caruana Galizia hit.

Getting closer...

I guess that's why you pay your soldiers.

In the early summer of 2024, months before the opposition launched Operation Deterrence of Aggression, a mobile application began circulating among a group of Syrian army officers. It carried an innocuous name: STFD-686, a string of letters standing for Syria Trust for Development.

...

The STFD-686 app operated with disarming simplicity. It offered the promise of financial aid, requiring only that the victim fill out a few personal details. It asked innocent questions: “What kind of assistance are you expecting?” and “Tell us more about your financial situation.”

...

Determining officers’ ranks made it possible for the app’s operators to identify those in sensitive positions, such as battalion commanders and communications officers, while knowing their exact place of service allowed for the construction of live maps of force deployments. It gave the operators behind the app and the website the ability to chart both strongholds and gaps in the Syrian army’s defensive lines. The most crucial point was the combination of the two pieces of information: Disclosing that “officer X” was stationed at “location Y” was tantamount to handing the enemy the army’s entire operating manual, especially on fluid fronts like those in Idlib and Sweida.
