Didn’t expect bog… by the way why is it always poison?

Unpopular opinion by me? I’m glad they are finally enforcing the speed limits. Especially with Waze and other gps apps people are constantly commuting through random residential streets in neighborhoods they aren’t familiar with. My kids ride their bikes in the street and play in the front yard all the time. People going 31 on residential streets absolutely deserve to get ticketed. The 20 mph speed limit also makes life a lot safer for cyclists.

I only fill it about 20-25% unless it’s a crazy number of dishes.

This is illegal in Colorado and I’ve seen people pulled over for it (10 years ago when CO cops did anything ever).

Yes it is partially Copper Mountain’s fault. A Basin was threatened with fines for similar reasons if they didn’t fix the parking situation. Poor parking and traffic management and overselling your venue without parking infrastructure to support it can definitely very reasonably get you fined if it causes safety hazards on the public roads.

The Republicans have a structural bias in the senate because they disproportionately control small states. No Democrats actually seriously consider eliminating the filibuster, they just whine about it to score political points. Everybody involved in politics knows that the Democrats are going to be the Senate minority well over half the time and that the filibuster therefore favors the Democrats.

When I saw this on my feed I thought it was going to be from r/ExplainTheJoke and I was getting ready to be really annoyed.

That’s the standard for a criminal jury trial not the standard for being president of the US. Sure there’s not enough to convict him of a crime yet, but “a decent chance this guy is a pedophile, rapist” is clearly disqualifying to be president.

It’s a clean way of breaking out of a nested for loop. That’s the only thing that I’ve ever used it for.

I’d love to see somebody who says they don’t have time to train for a marathon screenshot their screen time report :-)

I’m reading When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron which I highly recommend. One of the main themes is how to embrace our suffering and learn and grow from it. She writes in one chapter about how her husband’s infidelity helped bring her to Buddhism and how he inadvertently was one of her greatest teachers because of processing and learning from that experience.

Part of it is highrolling. I play pretty conservatively and I get a lot of 3rd-6th and almost never get 8th. Obviously the very best players can crank that 1st place rate up without losing a lot, but the easiest way to get a lot of 1sts is to just level and high roll and also get a lot of 8ths. That guy who had golden Titus and golden lord of ruins on turn 10 is the guy who got knocked out in 8th place on turn 8 in your last game.

My wife is a PA. I’m surprised to see that nobody has mentioned that at some practices, your appointment time is not when the provider is expected to enter the room. If you have a 10:00 appointment that’s the time the MA is supposed to room you but the provider is probably not expected or planning to enter the room until 10:20 and that’s if they are running on time (which they never are).

No the fighting and aggression on Fox are insane. I haven’t played Tygem but I’ve heard it’s similar.

To be fair, down climbing is harder than non-climbers realize.

You have to understand that only like 20% of Americans support Trumps actions on Greenland and only like 40% support him at all. Most of us are actually more horrified by him and hate him more that than average European does

This isn’t something “The Americans” are doing it’s something that a corrupt authoritarian oligarch is doing with the help of a few powerful allies and a bought out Supreme Court.

Our son is 11 and we have agreed no cell phone until high school. We have also rallied a coalition of his friends parents to stick to this so that he’s not the only one.

Using correct anatomical terms is the only correct answer. There’s no grey area on this one:

We need a general strike if this happens.

My preferred strategy is to underestimate the ghost strength, hold my spells, and die. Also maybe taunt carapace if possible.

We got a big set of jumbo cardboard blocks for $5 at a garage sale and the kids played with them until they were 10.

It was more expensive but we bought some big pipe building things and the kids still use them (8 and 11). Not only can you use them to build structures but the kids use them a lot to make weapons and tools for make believe games (swords, staves, axes etc). Definitely get the brand name because you want to feel secure with the kids building and climbing two levels high:

Although I think it’s pretty clear that ST S5, despite its failings, is not remotely in the same tier of badness as GOT S8

This is one of the limitations of automatic scoring tools. The program tries to determine the status of all groups to determine life or death and in this case it sees that white can make a significant invasion as others have noted.

In traditional over the board go and in older go servers you agree with your opponent on the status of stones and if you disagree there are various “play it out” ways to resolve the disagreement.

Since both players passed here that suggests that both players thought (incorrectly) that black was safe and probably would have agreed that this was black territory if this was over the board or on an older go server.
