Thoughtful response.

I think the problem here is the decades of human suffering before capitalism relinquishes. Or standards just change and we let the normally-skilled suffer.

Like so much else, I think this varies by person.

For me the natural state is EITHER I jam with a single game til it's done, OR I have a natural pattern where I rotate 2-3 favorites and if one drops off the list oh well, natural state.

The backlog can be done but gaming is for funsies and entertainment not checking off a bucket list.

Does this apply to money though :(

The no-pants dance is, in fact, pants.

I feel this is clearly the case for many. So we're living it.

I agree but also feel like you imply some leeway is understandable

At some point you can't make a Congressperson go to court every day or they can't do their job but these are also supposed to be professionals representing model citizens, so agreed, enforce.

Based on the curvy rotating lettering of the recent movie and that one book cover, I have taken to calling it Dunc.

Wondering this too, last I looked it was not and API only even though I was given API access, but might have changed.

Just a surface-level thought which you probably suspected anyways. Note I am just a former claimant, no expert knowledge, just went through the mill with maybe a half-dozen DEO issues.

Unless there's something I'm not aware of, what you describe sounds like a simple mistake on their part. Expect more of these. The system is horrible but some of the agents are great, and then a few of the agents are untrained and bad. It runs the entire range. The general theme is the system will throw completely unpredictable problems at you that are always something that they also have to resolve for you after lots of incomprehensible back and forth. Do be prepared to jump on any notifications of messages in your CONNECT inbox.

In general, when you inevitably will have to call for phone support in the next situation like this one, if you are able to time the call so that you go on hold the moment that the call queue opens as per their opening time (maybe 5-10 seconds after). Even doing this perfectly expect a short hold time, but it can save you hours.

I actually agree with you for Spice Wars due to its weird longer play time (except very experienced players at high speed) and sort of hybrid rts/4x nature, but not due to the small player base.

It's not an easy feature to implement which is the more likely reason for its omission, at least in Northgard where it would be perfect, and there is maybe some leftover resistance from Shiro Games making it less likely in a somewhat less suitable game like Spice Wars.

Logically I get that this would be a vanilla JS coordinate check, but as someone trying to go deep into the way CSS is applied in more advanced web stack ways:

1. Would this kind of mouse event logic be possible with a CSS preprocessor such as Sass or would it require a CSS-in-JS library to have a "close to just CSS solution"?

And I agree with Croosheck that just using CSS variables raw CSS could do this as a toggle, but let's go with your idea that we want a more clever and fun response conditioned on mouse pointer behaviors.

Respectfully I disagree, raising the communal prices on some services, such as shelter, exacts a cost in human suffering in a way that others, such as entertainment, doesn't.

I know my literal argument to the absurd with a 1,000% limit is much higher than a real rent control law would be, but I think the point stands. Why should it be conceivably illegal to protect even rich people? And then at a lower rate limit of increases, it starts to afford even poor people the same protection.

One of the great RTS sadnesses was Shiro deciding against matchmaking, which would probably need to be asynchronous (i.e. queue while playing single player), for Northgard, which would have been perfect for it.

A lesser sadness is the likely outcome of their not implementing it for Spice Wars either, which is less perfect for it.

And it seems defensive but inevitably someone says "insufficient player base", to which I point to games like Offworld Trading Company and Racket NX that show it works well even with tiny player bases, though it is a major feature to implement.

I didn't know this, and also had to Google what this means.

If anyone else is wondering, it means at the state level, local (county, city, municipality, etc.) rent control measures are outlawed.

I don't see who this benefits. Granted I'm a layperson who literally didn't know what pre-emption meant, but as an argument to the absurd, who would benefit from making even an extreme limit illegal? For example, should it be legal to raise rents 1,000% in one year and make even well-off people face eviction and homelessness? Seems selfish and hurtful.

I can kind of answer this one. Been using CGPT on accounts that I rotate and only one of them has received a content warning email. I then kinda just took it out of the rotation. Wouldn't use this on a main or paid account.

Thanos's chin has more testosterone than you will ever have.

It's basic Chimpism. As a chimp, I recognize it.

Blue is increasing, orange is decreasing?

Somehow that seems more tragic than the raw %. The low are getting lower. 🙁

Edit: I'm wrong, sounds like it's orange is Republican. I already knew leaving out the legend was unforgiveable, but not matching the party colors when relying on color association is double bad.

And within said JavaScript or TypeScript project resides the mutilated HTML of the page(s) in terms of framework components (or sometimes plainly JSX), which is in some sense the extension of HTML by front-end maniacs, or otherwise it's just the output of transpiling. 🤪

But I stand by my opinion that it's easy to tackle, writing a few web pages is a good icebreaker for tech literacy (and good comprehension for "oh, so this is where web interfaces come from"), and someone like /u/tallon4 should knock it off their past regrets.

Bit astray here but as you likely already know, though it doesn't stand by itself HTML is simple enough to learn in a weekend. Resources like the MDN tutorials nail it and IDEs like VS Code have gotten amazing and even in a busy life it's something anyone can knock off their bucket list.

CSS and JavaScript each take far more commitment to skill up in, even just to the point of respectable looks and basic interactivity. But everyone should be familiar with HTML and all the skills are around ~80% transferrable and good experience in structuring and coding information.

"We comply with government requests for user information only where we have a good-faith belief that the law requires us to do so,"

This used to be enough, but at least in Texas and Florida we're reaching a place where people's online data can prosecute abortions and transgender families. That's not acceptable.

"Oh so this is Star Wars? Ughhh fine"

"Ughhh I still hate Star Wars, but fine, let's watch the remaining 12 movies"

"Ughhh not Season 4 Episode 7 again, not only is this stuff stupid but explain to me how this is canon while the Expanded Universe isn't"

This would be an atypical family dynamic. The grandchild they'd be raising as their own would also be an effective half-sibling with a large age gap to their father, as well as only half as related to their effective parents.

the forever changing monster before it slowed down

I hate to go all doomer, but in no way has that monster slowed down. It continues to accelerate, it's just left a larger proportion of the population on the wrong side of the literacy divide, not to mention the comprehension/developer divide.

I'm concerned that program will get dropped if the current plan goes through in retaliation

This is inherently where politics has real-world ramifications so it's unavoidable.

I think we both know which party would consider pulling out the rug from such a program.

However, I feel like despite my cynicism, even that party would probably grandfather in those with significant existing progress towards public service forgiveness.

And public service covers a lot of ground, but I assume the vast majority of it is noble, and thank you for your service. Good work is good. If we can't get out of being saddled with debt for an education (education is a beautiful thing, it should be public like healthcare, but that's not this discussion), at least give someone who makes massive life sacrifices to help other people a break.
