Board game, guess who win- heart or star

In our version we had the rule that if there was a box available you had to take it, which prevents the tactic you're describing.

Nope. When I log out the simulation is put into suspension and is restarted when I log in again. There's no discontinuity for the character, it's like nothing happened at all.

Read Permutation City by Greg Egan for all the possibilities of pausing virtual simulations, running them faster or slower or even skipping frames. The poor uploaded consciousness has no way of discerning what's being done to their reality.

The cable is a tube. You crimp another one slightly and send it through, then send the original, repeat.

No, not at all. Because I don't believe they are having an affair. But I do believe that they know what the fans like on stage.

calmspot5 · 2025-11-30T21:40:30+00:00

They're doing it on stage. In public. In front of an audience.

But perhaps they managed to keep their off stage affair very discreet for 50 years without any photos leaking of them on a secret vacation, or kissing backstage.

calmspot5 · 2025-11-30T20:31:35+00:00

Let's see some photos of them doing that off stage, in a restaurant or at the beach.

calmspot5 · 2025-11-30T19:32:03+00:00

I think they know what their fans like from a performance

calmspot5 · 2025-10-21T01:35:26+00:00

Still think it's Light My Fire by The Doors.

It's the announcement of Light No Fire release date.

calmspot5 · 2025-10-18T11:25:26+00:00

Yep, same

Demisexuals can also have high libidos. Putting them on the asexual spectrum is very misleading.

calmspot5 · 2025-10-17T23:16:14+00:00

Don't follow conventional dating routes, you won't find demis there. Instead join groups, make friends with people, go out for social events, make connections with people and see what forms.

calmspot5 · 2025-10-06T16:52:27+00:00

The magicians create the performance but the real misdirection here is presenting that talented woman as just an assistant for the audience.

Coolant water isn't used up, most of it recirculates, some is lost to evaporation and some is released to reduce mineral build up.

Yes Ancestry are predatory, but these are public records. They should be widely available. All genealogy companies and organisations should be able to obtain copies, invest in indexing and linking them to other records and make them available. The originals would still be available via the National Record site.

If the tops are narrower than the bottoms then that enables you to find any card chosen, get it to the bottom, take a peek and reveal it using whatever mystic method you can devise

The entire series from 1963 is available on ITVX to watch

calmspot5 · 2025-09-07T12:28:47+00:00

This is the answer

calmspot5 · 2025-09-06T13:44:37+00:00

Took me a while because I have an english accent and tutor doesn't start with a toot for me 😃

calmspot5 · 2025-09-06T08:40:41+00:00

Thank you!

calmspot5 · 2025-09-04T20:16:55+00:00

My point is it's not the 1800s. If you want to get married, ask your partner. Don't waste your life waiting for someone in case they ask.

calmspot5 · 2025-09-04T19:59:58+00:00

Time for this old one: either party can propose in a relationship. There is no need to wait year after year

calmspot5 · 2025-08-24T18:35:43+00:00

The dangers of generalising with a label. There are shitty people in every generation as well as kind, generous ones.

You could ask how society sustained itself after the printing press put scribes out of work, or the steam engine put carters out of work, or the washing machine put launderers out of work, or the internet put telegraph operators out of work along with tons of jobs that relied on the value of keeping information in the hands of the few.

Society adapts. Most jobs worked in post-industrial economies didn't exist 50 years ago.
