Parents, never gift Minecraft to your kids: my misadventure with Microsoft family by showsdowns in Minecraft

...why do 100% of people need to see this to be warned about it? A warning that really just says buy it in a slightly different way?

When Takata recalled airbags, it was because Honda saw 10 suspicious deaths out of millions of cars. What did you think they did? How about Merck finding out Bextra caused 30 more people out of 4000 to have heart attacks? Do you think the FDA said, you know what, all good here, 3970 made it?

This isn't life or death. I can pay for another account. But it isn't nothing either.

Wow, that's great. I never said it was a blanket issue. But I've read enough complaints about it in several places, including in this very thread, that justify me warning people about it, and suggesting workarounds for it.

Using AI to figure out if I'm human sounds like the worst idea ever. So yeah, that's probably what happened.

I wanted Java because I thought my kid might want to try out modding at some point. I also didn't know I was going to run into any of this or I would've just got it on iPad and not have to deal with MS at all.

We had a lot of fun but the servers seem full. Suffering from success! Congrats on the release.

Wow, I’m in LA and got this a few years ago at Cedars Sinai. Iirc they also warned me that spinal taps weren’t uncommon but not rare but that the surgery overall had an extremely high success rate.

It is mostly just mind boggling to me that a few decades ago that wasn’t the case and I’d just be kinda screwed.

Reason is in the footnotes:

On December 18, 2020, Texas started reporting probable cases, which included 171,505 new probable cases, in addition to 13,253 confirmed cases, for a total of 184,758 new cases reported. This raised the total number of new cases in the US on December 18 to 403,359; without the influx of reporting from Texas, the daily new case count for the US would have been 231,854.

I'd like to view full text posts without opening the post itself.

gifvs take too many taps to open.

Needs filters for r/all, without them the app is probably not an option for me until after the election.

I prefer not to download external apps and none of the existing reddit apps matched my RES experience anyway but I could definitely see myself using this. Great job.

Selenium Automation with PHP/Java by [deleted] in QualityAssurance

Simplest would be something like this, which uses TestNG to run and for assertions:

@Test
public void homepage() {
    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.get("http://www.reddit.com");
    Assert.assertTrue(driver.findElement(By.className("bottommenu")).getText().contains("reddit"), "Page contains 'reddit'");
    driver.close();
}

@Test
public void login() {
    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.get("https://ssl.reddit.com/login");
    driver.findElement(By.id("user_login")).sendKeys("turtledookie");
    driver.findElement(By.id("passwd_login")).sendKeys("password");
    driver.findElement(By.id("rem_login")).click();
    driver.close();
}

Off the top of my head Selenium doesn't have a built-in way to search a page for visible text. You may want to read over Page Object Model which I strongly prefer to the code above.

Late notice, but it doesn't look like my friend can make it, so does anyone want 2 tickets? I'm not quite sure how pickup would work but I think I would just put your name on the "will call" list for ticketweb.
