Its original owners, Mark and Barbara Blasch, sought permission from the commission in 2018 to build a 241-foot-wide seawall to stave off erosion. The commission’s seven members — all volunteers — rejected the seawall on the grounds that it might have unintended effects on the beach and the way water carries nutrients in the bay. They also questioned whether it would actually save the house.

Sounds like they tried and were denied approval. A collapsing house is probably going to have unintended effects on the beach too

This is only obvious because you didn't escape the news cycle.

There were a shocking number of people that didn't even know Biden dropped out. Don't underestimate how out of touch people can be before making an important decision

They don't want to lessen crime, not really anyway.

They want to increase prison labor capacity by arresting and charging more people

No way man, I get to do a rad world building session with my girl where we work out the details of a whole AU where I might love a lamp.

I love dumb shit like that

Oh man, lets play in that space! I have several questions:

  • Are you some kind of magic lamp that I can talk to that will respond?

  • If you're responsive, are you the same person as you are now, but in lamp form, or are you a different person?

  • We're you always a lamp or were you transformed by some kind of wizard curse?

  • If you were a lamp before we met, how did we meet?

  • what was our first date like?

  • Am I a lamp too? If so, was I also turned into one from a wizard curse?

I am about 3 hours into FFVII Rebirth now that it's available for a platform I actually have access to.

There are things about it that I dont care for, but that was also true of Remake and I had a blast with that game overall. I hope I enjoy Rebirth too.

I just cleaned up my downloads so I no longer have it, but a couple weeks ago it was a copy of Maid: The Role-Playing Game

Yeah, I know I'm approaching fossil age, but the pen itself was first made 75 years ago. I had always assumed that the hole in the cap was a change made much closer to the 50s than sometime within my lifetime.

Wait, the hole in the cap is that recent?

This is the correct answer. MFA should be enforced for literally every account you have, and the method should be app-based or a hardware token.

It turns out that people en masse are lazy and will use the same simple password for all their accounts and then wonder how they got hacked. People in tech for the past 30 years or so struggled with the difference between theory and practice when it came to user psychology, and I am happy that we are finally starting to realize the user psychology aspect and just force them to be secure.

I have played through many Sierra games, although I was always more partial to the LucasArts adventure games. I feel like they had better writing, and the idea that there was no failure state meant that you didn't end up in unwinnable situations.

I didn't know about the staff situation there though, that's super interesting. I just assumed that they had a small number of teams working on each title that each worked under the Williams'

 

I've got some real garbage here
