Thanks. I'd only been looking at the "x Posts" and "x Comments" 3 lines above that.

I'm not sure Canadians would want the 6 million Californians who voted for Trump (more than 38% of the voters in the state); or the 3.5 million New Yorkers who voted for Trump (42.7%). Maybe leave the mostly rural areas of the Dem states for Trumpistan?

Also the included states have a larger population than Canada, so it would be Canada joining the Dem states - which I can't see any sane 1st-world country doing.

Letting the Trump states become a country, and the Dem states (sans rural areas) become a different country, seems like it would make both groups vastly happier; tho it would require allowing at least a few years for people to swap states.

Maybe if enough people stop tipping, workers will go work at places where they're paid enough so they don't need tips to survive? Horrific for the poor until tips-to-survive ends tho.

Voting against parties that make laws propping up an economic system that rewards psychopathy and punishes ethical behavior, would be better.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/08/16/biden-oil-drilling-production/ :

As he campaigned for president in 2020, Joe Biden made a bold promise at a New Hampshire town hall, adding repetition for emphasis: “No more drilling on federal lands. Period. Period. Period. Period.” […] The Biden administration has now outpaced the Trump administration in approving permits for drilling on public lands, and the United States is producing more oil than any country ever has.

Why is it called "drink driving" and not "drunk driving"?

"Drink driving" sounds like something a very drunk person would say.

If you think your grandparents would prefer the Windows 8 or macOS type UI, then GNOME is the way.

I think Xfce or MATE is vastly better tho.

If the options include popular Hitler, popular Stalin, and unpopular Gandhi; but only 1% of voters choose the non-genocidal option, maybe Carlin was right:

While cleaning the top layer [...] spotted [...] hominin footprint [...] interpreted the depositional setting of the footprint surface, narrowing down the passage of the track makers to a few hours [...] Homo erectus [persisted for 1 million years more] and Paranthropus boisei [went extinct within the next few hundred thousand years], the two most common living human species of the Pleistocene Epoch [2 580 000 to 11 700 years ago...] "The idea that they lived contemporaneously may not be a surprise. But this is the first time demonstrating it."

So with only 3 remastered books, would it be confusing for someone trying to learn Pathfinder for the 1st time that it has the Bestiaries instead of Monster Core 1, and the non-remastered Character Sheet Pack and modules?
