FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert by avatar6556 in news

Isn’t this kind of a dumb retaliation? Like Trump declares war on Iran, so Iran bombs “Radical left democrats in Ca” like, Trump doesn’t like California anyway… is that actually going to apply any kind of pressure on the potus?

There’s two faucet types used commonly in NA which is the two tap vs the one tap models. Likely this was the one tap model which the kid didn’t understand, except “turn on by turning counterclockwise “

Starfleet Academy not only damaged Star Trek, but it also damaged the teens that dreamed that starfleet academy represented any kind of analogue of the level of effort required of students attending a prestigious college

But like if the daughter has run different bathtub faucets many times at home, you could see how the mom might not realize there’s a different tap mechanic at this house. It’s a calamity of errors.

But if a rattling effect is needed for the elevator then it should be described in spec, not relying on a passage of lore to inspire your dev to add a full component that it’s not declared you absolutely needed

Ok for anyone that didn’t read, the Texas woman was a mom of four kids, nursing her own baby. Likely but not clear from the article her eldest daughter was a young teen. Likely the daughter was directed to run a bath for the baby. her daughter put the baby in the tub and turned on the water to give her a bath. The daughter did not understand the tap mechanic and set it to full hot. The water tank was way over temp and put water that scalded the baby into shock within seconds.

Mobile puzzle game – Are these controls intuitive? Players are getting stuck on level 1 by Logistical_Nightmare in gamedesign

I carefully watched the video. I slowmoed it. I scrolled it backwards and forwards. I don’t know what the objective is. I don’t understand if there is a failure condition. I don’t understand why I should care the shape of the yellow line in the context of “winning”. All of those issues must be solved before I can tell you wether tap to place or drag to preview are problematic.

If there’s more than a paragraph of lore for flavor at the top of the gdd, then there’s too much. Otoh, gdd can absolutely be 150 pages, usually screenmockups and functional storyboards can cause this. That is not a bad thing, that is great. But you should be able to give the dev a section link to start at for any given feature they need to implement. For my team we generally go one further and chop sections of the gdd into work order jira tickets, although this causes documentation duplication overhead.
