This guy's trying to trick us into working out - Get them!

As the cat demon from adventure time say: "I have approximate knowledge of many things."

If you're doing a holiday in the USA and renting a car via enterprise, Alamo or national book with Rentalcars.com, unless you're flying with doing a Virgin package holiday, in Which case do it with them. They have the best rates in the market due to special agreements. If you want the best customer service experience for rental cars book with Virgin as they will put a lot of pressure on Alamo/national/enterprise who will bend over backwards for you.

The industry is experiencing historic shrinkage post COVID due to unsustainable growth during COVID.

You body begins to die a painful but probably mercifully quick death. Hormones are vital to your bodies continual survival and even if you targeted specific ones, you'd just be creating problems for yourself. Elimated dopamine? Congrats you've given yourself ADHD and a host of other personality problems. Melotonin? Oops no more sleep for you, enjoy your sudden weight gain and compromised immune system. We don't take hormones, we are hormones.

The ruse was a success - they've finally revealed their location, send in the retrieval team. Their fines will pay for a new library.

The games industry is shrinking post COVID boom, companies expanded massively to try to capitalise on that and now the money isn't there anymore. The games industry is always bad for layoffs, with staff being seen as an unnecessary expense post project in many cases. Additionally the tech sector is experiencing a unheard of levels of bad year (something like a 700%+ percent increase in layoffs according to at least one research group) which is contributing.

That last bit goes for people too, it's called Leukocoria can be am early sign of all sorts of eye disease. It's a common way retinoblastoma (a thankfully relatively rare child eye cancer) gets caught - it shows up as a sort of white sheen in one eye in flash photos.

A shame, especially to be shut down a second time, the time splitters games defined my childhood.

Don't forgot the Blitzchung Hong Kong scandal - Blizzard has really gone from scandal to scandal the last few years.

They've got a really cool aquarium - the main tank stretches over several floors and is spectacular.

I think it would likely be used to add extra charges after the fact ie did you get caught? Then you must have also commited this crime on top of the others. Then again I might be ascribing logic where there is none.

I loved discovering all the little quirks of the character skins - I remember the stone golem was immune to fire.

That's not unusual for games studios after shipping a game unfortunately. It likely means that they don't have another project ramping up after finishing the Callisto Protocol DLC.

I'm similar, except I collect rpg books and I'm 30. I haven't sat down read a paper book properly in years, I just don't have the attention span (thanks undiagnosed ADD). But I keep collecting because it brings me joy to do so and I enjoy the thrill of the chase going through second hand bookshops looking for deals.

These sort of hobbies are also great for bringing together like minded people, like you and your friend, so there are additional social benefits to them too if you're looking for that. This is something Ive come to really come to appreciate more as I've aged and fallen out of contact with school friends and it gets harder to meet new people outside of your social circle.

Sorry for the ramble but I guess my main point is to ask yourself whether it brings you joy to continue collecting or not and if it doesn't maybe to hold off for a few months and check back in with yourself then as you may feel different.

Yes, but only in the fact that it looks like 4-5 different decks have got mixed together.

"Waiting For Godot" is a play by Samuel Beckett where two men wait for another named Godot who never arrives. It's famously odd and open to interpretation and was generally pretty ahead of its time.

It was fun and the animation was good.

This - wanted to add that it's generally not a good idea to have radioactive elements not under under lock and key as they have a nasty habit of ending up in scrap yards and the like. Most nuclear accidents are from radiotherapy and x-ray machine sources not getting disposed of correctly and getting picked up by enterprising scrappers due to the high lead content of their housing.

End of contract stuff is an issue in the industry, with 15-18% being contractors, but that's it's a separate one - if you're a contractor you're going to need to find a new job no matter what at the end of the project unless you get lucky enough to snag a permanent role.

Layoffs for salaried employees at the end of a project is a systematic problem in the industry - This is a really good article from 2014 that's covers a lot of the issues.

I used to play dnd with an astronaught

You might also enjoy bitburner which is free on steam. It's a JavaScript based hacking game with a focus on automation.

It's not an easy transition. My partner works for DDG and I still don't use it all the time. To their credit they are working to improve things but it's a small team (comparatively). Their browser has some good features like app tracking protection just from having it installed and quick throwaway email support but isn't quite up to Firefox's standard (yet).
