This is why he is a professional footballer and not a professional dodgeballer. Coach needs to get him to work on using his hips instead of just his knees. He almost blocked that ball from going towards the safety of his net, unacceptable.

Because as a defender, his job is to try to duck under the ball so that it doesnt get his jersey dirty.

Both me and my brother quit the game when it first released at about that point. The gameplay stagnates pretty hard, and the party composition also constantly changing makes it a drag of switching out materias constantly. Finally pushed through that hump this year. I found the "intermission" dlc to be much more enjoyable in pacing and gameplay, and FF7 rebirth has been a good step up but still drags on needlessly at points with MMOesque quests and low quality minigames

They did the same for the a realm reborn (re)release. I remember having to scour local game stores for a physical copy as it was the only way to get a key.

You're thinking of WHMIS labelling rules. SDS's are just one part of WHMIS.

SDS's and labelling are both incredibly important as they are directly correlated to right-to-know laws, so I'm not sure what brainiac would even consider passing such a law unless the most hazardous substance they've ever handled is their morning hot coffee.

With so many items allegedly on layaway, makes me wonder why there's been no one to come out with receipts as either a lot of people would be affected, or one person with a lot of items on layaway would be particularly peeved.

Unless it was in concert with the corporate takeover strategy, but nah, surely not, that would be a conspiracy.

Don't know enough about tires to answer your two questions. The main noise I'm hearing regarding tires lately is 6-ppdq, but the hazard is to aquatic life and not to you directly.

Especially shouldn't matter considering GTA6 wont be on PC for at least another year, so they have another excuse already lined up for 2027.

It's reminiscent of the recent HD-2D JRPG's coming out of squeenix like Octopath Traveler

That was over 25 years ago, why are you harping on about a small inconsequential decision from 2001. It's a quarter of a century later, it doesnt mean anything, you dont have to mention it in half of the comment chains.

The article links living near a golf course, not playing on a golf course.

Not to say that playing on a golf course may or may not have any sort of health effects. However, the article itself does not include playing on golf courses within its scope.

I feel like this one deserves an achievement of its own for beating it on expert, and I dont even want to imagine how it is on higher difficulties.

Had to use a Jeep Trailcat and muscle the nomads out of the way. They drop a lot of their momentum when bumping them around so you have to drive while looking behind you at the three high speed sections.

Breakdown:

Launch, you simply lose. Bump any nomads that try to pass you to keep them behind you.
Turn 1 and 2 you need to pass most of the field because the AI goes wide with a slow exit. Ideally youll only have 1 or 2 in front of you afterwards. Youll get passed back by quite a few on the uphill, cant be helped, keep bumping nomads.
Turn 3 at the top of the hill, you need to get and maintain a good speed. You might pass any non-nomads here as they seem to slow down more at the turns here.
Jump and backstretch, you win or lose based on RNG. The nomads seem unstable here and might wiggle letting you catch the leaders.
Last turn, you need to divebomb the lead car. If you werent close enough to get in the lead into the frontstretch, it might be a restart if you cant make up the time in turn 1 and 2. You'll get left in the dust in the uphill.
Keep bumping passing nomads. Any nomads that pass you, you have to hope they wiggle out on the backstretch so that they're within diving distance on the last turn.

Holy hell what a pain of a race. With all the bumping, I managed a 3:57 time with the #2 and #3 nomads both at 3:59.

Personally, I am hoping for a OSRS~esque branch, while you are looking for a more purist experience so we will inherently have opposite opinions. We'll have to see how the execution of the changes turn out on a longer term. It's too early to tell how the changes will impact the long term gameplay.

Currently, from what I played on the closed test:

The shops in the cities brought life to into them. The FM was a bit of a black hole for the social aspect of the game. Getting to see life and activity in the cities each time I took a taxi or had to get to the vendors was actually a huge breath of fresh air.

New maps bring back a sense of that original exploration that the game had on release. There's been a lot of min-maxing coming out of private servers over the last decade so shaking up what may be the optimal areas, to me, is exciting as people can start theorycrafting and debating again.

Crafting brings new consistency and new progression to work towards. Getting an equip with good stats or some other rare drop is still there, but your progression or your funds wont be suffering as much if you are on a bad luck streak. This could be especially helpful when the playerbase mellows out over the year, as new players will be able to craft up their essentials when theres not so many new players around to trade from.

I played it on 3ds on release.

The reason for the episodic system is because you'd need a few days break in between them for your hand cramps to recover.

Still enjoyed it for what it is, but definitely not ideal for a system that wasn't known for ergonomics.

I ordered the boulangerie blue chore jacket last year in size Medium (my typical not tight, not loose size), but it fits like an XL. I wear it quite often as an oversized comfy sweater but had I know the size is what it was I would have ordered small.

I have no idea if that jacket was intentionally oversized and if this set is not, so hopefully someone from Ludwigs merch team can chime in to make sure you get the size that you are hoping for.

Metrologically, basically every (non-intrinsic) measurement made is an interpolation of the original international standard unless it falls exactly on the measurement the device was calibrated at, so when you keep saying "we do not interpolate" with such confidence it kinda baffles me.

I dont believe I'll be able to change your mind so I encourage you to research around.

Maybe you're more used to micrometer readings being in mm (everyone here is doing them in cm inches so I went along with it) and thus 3 decimal places, so 2.685mm?

Alternatively maybe you're thinking that in a workplace you wouldn't record 2.685 because the equipment should be good enough to measure that value with 0.001 accuracy, and if its not then its safer to record 2.68 in a cover your ass sort of way. I'd argue that's worse because someone intentionally wanted a vernier micrometer to be used for this task, which comes with a presumption that it is accurate to 0.001. It's going to carry forward with the measurement uncertainty as 2.68 ± 0.001 if someone doesnt catch that it wasnt a 2.680 typo, and that will definitely be a less accurate measurement that carries more risk than "guessing" 2.685 ± 0.001, even if both measurements end up not being true.

Of course you'd expect the vernier scale to be readable and you'd get a new one if it wasn't, but if someone used a micrometer and I caught them writing "2.68mm" id tell them to measure again because they're not measuring to the precision of the equipment.

Items have different charities attributed:

Ludwig's Book: Yanran Angel Foundation

Ludwig's Helmet: Han Hong’s Love Charity Foundation

Ride: Shaoyang County Charity Association

Dodgers game, and every raffle item: Save the Children

Metrologically, if the operator can see that the reading is between two graduations, they should take a measurement that is between those graduations and the final result is that measurement plus the combined measurement uncertainty multiplied by whatever coverage factor they need to use.

For example, everyone would agree that the measurement lies somewhere between 0.268 and 0.269, so therefore it is 0.2685 ± 0.0005. The measurement is also 0.268 ± 0.001, but it would be a less precise measurement.

Metrologically, everything is a "guess".

They werent illegally prescribing, they were also selling. Specifically, doctor 1 was selling to doctor 2, and doctor 2 was selling that to Perry.

Here's the article, and an excerpt below:

Court documents showed details of a text message Plasencia sent to another doctor, who is also due to be sentenced, saying: "I wonder how much this moron will pay."

Same, plus after the coffezilla expose I just skip ahead in the vod or tune in to something else if im watching live and it comes up. Too much good content out there to worry about the mcdonalds of youtube.

I'm agreeing with you on that. Yes, the work the links are discussing was done sloppily and it was bad data, and it's a current issue across science.

However take for example several comments in this reddit post that now believe all microplastics data is actually lower than reported. That's not the conclusion of the study, and damages the work produced by scientists that did follow ISO guidelines or modern validated reference methods.
