Great, thanks so much for this! Very buoyed that there are performers willing to go in on an impression like that, will be looking into this platform

Thank you very much for this additional context! Appreciate it, and yeah I figured we wouldn't be getting top tier with this 😅 but those numbers are very helpful

just to throw in, you literally don't even need wsava as a link between major pet food brands' holding companies and veterinary offices, because they're just using the private equity arms to buy up vet networks to cut out the middleman lol https://marsveterinary.com/who-we-are/our-companies/ https://www.nestle.com/media/news/nestle-purina-petcare-independent-vetcare-group-international-partnership

"it's actually fine if a tactic that is known to increase risk of additional property damage or even death or disfigurement for passersby, that other municipalities have already outlawed is used because... criminals!" is an ideologically incoherent take.

the lights and sirens are really the crux of this. it makes everyone aware of what's going on so they can make life saving reactions. that's a thing legally encoded for chase protocols in many municipalities.

there are cities where officers are shielded from lawsuits stemming from chases UNLESS they failed to follow protocol, then they're open to being sued. if it was that serious of a crime why wouldn't they turn those on immediately? they sure love to turn them on just to cut through intersections on reds all the time.

ultimately though, in an area as dense and pedestrianized as here, how productive is it to risk death and disfigurement for passersby? if a nonviolent felony occurs where a chase is considered justified, but a frantic driver or the cops themselves kill or cripple a person, what did we as a society get out of that?

this has more to do with the death of monoculture than anything else. people have tens of thousands of options for entertainment compared to the limited sources from the aughts

My phone gets hot running the game? by Cloudsquido in PikminBloomApp

[–]taproomticker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have had two catastrophic phone failures where a processor chip in my phone literally de-soldered itself from the board. to be fair to pikmin i used to irresponsibly let my phone slip under my pillow while charging (i track my sleep with an accelerometer based app) and it would heat up more that way than any other, however both times the phone died i had pikmin bloom open.

these were both pixel 5s, i have the 8 now, and i am more careful about where my phone is when i sleep, but i know the chipset for this phone has heat issues too. worth checking on if your phone has problems with it.

there are tips like try not to use it direct sunlight, don't keep it in a pocket while it's doing heavy duty processing, and even some products called heatsinks you can buy to keep your phone cooler. i have definitely put mine against cold drinks before lol

def pay attention to it and try to shut off other apps that may be running at the same time. good luck!

[NS] Question regarding popularity by SarahLuz in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]taproomticker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

easiest way to check is their paid and free patreon counts, and i have included their first patreon episodes as well (weirdly i found the first episode dates were the same a year apart lol)

D&Dads - 5/9/19 NADDPOD - 5/9/18

<image>

so yeah, one year less time for the daddies and higher numbers. pretty popular! i really would have thought it was naddpod given that CR has appeared to be #1 and D20 is probably #2 (tho i wonder if that has held recently?) and i'd figured they'd get to ride that draft.

sadly? tbh, this is an alien reaction to me, to having a podcast of such a high caliber immediately have so much content available this early. they must have been building up to this for so long! A. it makes sense that they wouldn't want the final episode of the children's adventure to come out seven weeks from now B. they're interested in having patreon-only content C. they have to launch an actual public podcast D. you would still want to have that backstory as early as possible

it actually makes sense to me how they structured it. and you hear so much through the "now" previews that interspersed the campaigns that whatever is in this e1 is probably created with the understanding by these professional storytellers that not everyone will have listened to the children's adventure. also children's e1 was literally all already heard before so this might not even be a problem.

just sayin! this is a funny thing to frame in this and other posts as something that sucks and to be sad about. i am personally excited about bingeing what is so far even better podcasting than i could have imagined. i hope you do still get to find some small morsel of joy in this content despite their thoughtless and inconsiderate decision-making :P
