This is what happens when we let foreign interests fund our politicians.

How they used to get rid of motor oil back in the day.

Yeah, but nobody's drinking 3 30 oz coffees in one sitting. Nor is coffee really marketed as a health drink.

Found this as well:

A 30-ounce, large-size Panera Charged Lemonade has about 390 milligrams of caffeine, about four times the amount found in a cup of coffee.

I've been using https://wormhole.app/ for file transfers over discord/text. The link is only good for 24 hours, but it supports up to 10 gb files.

You can never trust a zealot.

Especially one from a nigh-suicidal death-cult that's hell-bent on speeding up their version of apocalypse...

Considering that a US hospital will charge you a few grand for even looking in their direction these days, $2,500.22 for something serious, like seizures, sounds like a steal :(

I've been into designing boardgames and worldbuilding with the intention of running a Tabletop RPG.

For my current boardgame project, it's a Roll-n-Write style game where you travel the map in order to collect random critters.

My worldbuilding project, at the moment, consists of a sort of airship & steampunk world with sci-fi undertones.

The original Homeworld also scaled difficulty based on how well you were doing on previous levels.

If it is an industry problem, then this sort of event is usually what snowballs into actual change.

The tip of this case, I believe, isn't just the caffeine content, but the fact that it:

  • Wasn't exactly labeled as a high-caf drink.
  • Was often next to, or in place of, non-caf drinks.
  • Was marketed as part of an unlimited drinks program.

While the company isn't required to cater to individuals with very specific tolerances of the simulant, they likely had data available to them that suggests that this outcome was always a possibility, yet they supposedly ran the product until people died.

It's worse because they are a suicidal death cult.

They wish to bring about their version of the end of the world and are doing everything they can to make it happen. All the while, they are dragging the rest of the world down with them.

I've had a lot of fun with Book of Demons, which is a bit more simplified, but really respects whatever amount of time I have to put into it!

Ideally, it would be the same word over and over, so that we can trick the AI into ending all sentences with the word. Bonus points if it is the word "buffalo", since it can from a grammatically correct sentence.

Yeah, those corporate types usually can't see past their next quarterly earnings report.

The fact remains that this playbook failed rather drastically, earlier this year even, with the D&D Franchise making similar headlines, and it wasn't even enough to give them pause.

Iirc it uses webtorrent, which is a torrent protocol that runs in-browser for the most part.

Small file live on their servers using end-to-end encryption for the 24 hours.

Larger files are treated as a peer-to-peer torrent, which means that the tab needs to stay open until your downloadees are done grabbing it.

There was a DS game called Custom Robo Arena that was pretty good considering it's hardware and its intended age demographic.

Screw the final boss though. I could only beat it using the cheesiest spam possible.

+1 for the Tumbleweed!

I just came from a stint on Linux Mint and I'm surprised how good opensuse handles everything so far.

Or worry about all of the asbestos, lead, and formaldehyde -laced building materials that were all of the rage in previous decades.

The opening animation was pretty dope!

There were so many fun builds, too!

Shame they never made a 3rd one...

The wisdom is incorrect though, in the sense that you aren't 'disposing' of the oil using this method. You are simply hiding it while simultaneously toxifying your immediate environment.

This also could be their original goal, but they tried to pull the "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" and then dialed it back to try and make it not seem as bad.

Like when the justice system adds on a bunch of superfluous charges in order to make their primary ones stick.

I made the same switch earlier this year. The only real issues I can recall were learning to update flatpak manually because it holds up the other updates if I don't do that through the Konsole first.

Granted, that might just be my system, but I generally have had far fewer issues with Tumbleweed than I've ever had with Mint.

Oh, and my art tablet gets tagged as a game controller for some reason, but it works for what I need it for so I haven't bothered to fix it.

There fact that you couldn't even backtrack to pick up the summons you missed was a major letdown, and it was all downhill from there.
