But they love charging for the kidney stone removal.

Agreed, just updated my comment for clarification here. But I’ll add that I still own any game I’ve bought on Steam that was pulled from the store. They tend to be on the better side here.

That said, DRM free for the win.

Agreed.

My use of the PlayStation platform had dropped significantly and moved to PC, and now Steam Deck as well.

And now I’ll just cease entirely.

They really love shooting themselves in the foot here.

And I suppose they will start trying to sue Steam when they fall.

EDIT: To be clear, the Deck can run GOG games with Lutris, and with PC I use a mix of launchers, not just Steam. My intent was to point out that many publishers seem to like going after Steam after they shoot themselves in the foot and lose users.

Anime name?

The skin of red onions is reddish to purple. The flesh is purple much like shallots. But the skin sets them apart.

What is a pleasure for one, may not be for you. Different folks, different strokes.

Yeah the whites of all onions and their cousins are high fodmap. Green onions are ok in moderation, and the green parts of leeks.

I loooooove onions.

But… FODMAPs… Ugh.

No more onions or garlic or mushrooms for me except for a once in a while splurge and regret.

When do I move in?

Seriously though, sex before marriage is just what sane people do. Do you buy a car before you test drive it?

I love green beans, but they squeak on my teeth if they are steamed to the proper level. I need mine over cooked until they are soft enough to no longer squeak, or raw.

I can’t stand crunchy peanut butter for the same reason.

Cooked raisins.

Anything that squeaks. Squeaking hair when its clean, green beans that aren’t cooked enough.

They need to learn grammar, not spelling. All the words are spelled correctly.

There is a maximum human population this planet can support and we have been over it by a couple billion for a while and we’ve been using technology to expand that number and sustain the population. Those methods are burning out our methods to grow crops and are reliant on fossil fuels.

One way or the other the population will decrease. At this point it’s a question of whether we do it through planned decrease or a population crash due to starvation from a combination of soil deterioration and climate change stress.

I have watched the deer in Campbell River walk up the sidewalk single file, wait at a crosswalk for the road to clear, and then cross.

The animals are learning to navigate the new jungle.

But this is definitely AI with those road lines. So a fake story.

I do not miss these. The RCA wires were so frail on most consoles. At least you could repair cables with spare parts from Radio Shack back then.

But more simple than that. If I’m not mistaken this is simply a font where A is mapped to P and B to V and so on. The fonts we use all are saved by the comp as character codes. Fonts are just a map of glyphs.

Wingdings is the mist famous and oldest case of a font where any letter typed comes out as something completely different.

So they have mapped a font where the letters are jumbled, and used the map with a script to encode the pages content to the same cypher. Loading the page with anything but the font that draws the intended letter instead of the letter that is verbatim on the page results in garbage.

Corn on the Hog?
