You can never trust Big Number.

They keep trying to make laws without going through Congress or the Senate.

But they were still users who were active in that half-year, so even when they went offline it shouldn't have resulted in a dip

This graph doesn't make sense to me. The drops on the two graphs shouldn't line up, right? Make me sus

That's a very reddit thing to say

Ah makes sense.

I wasn't even concerned about the low priority of passenger cars. I meant the physical condition of the track itself, and the resulting reduction in top speed along many section in the maritimes.

I probably say something
And it gets me in trouble

Edit:
Hahaha I actually forgot my username and thought I was using one that I use elsewhere, but this still applies exactly the same 🤣😭

I wouldn't be surprised, the govt loves investing in things and then just giving it away to private companies to squander. It's the 3pp way.

Also: via rail sucks. They don't actually maintain their tracks, they just keep slowing down the trains instead.

I'm gonna be a bit rude here because you're not reading what I wrote.

I did not say that such apps cannot be updated, I said that they're not updated through a central update manager. So I don't give a flying fuck if you implemented your own custom app updater in your app because that's clearly and explicitly not what I'm talking about.

I also don't give a fuck about throwing config files all over the place, since a) the uninstall script takes care of that and b) this doesn't have to be specific to windows. Having an installer doesn't mean that configs must be thrown everywhere. Afaict apt-get isn't throwing files everywhere.

Again I don't really give a fuck about windows, but saying it hat it's not possible because people don't use the tool that makes it possible is fucking inane bullshit. Idk why you think the windows store "sucks" and I don't really give a fuck, it works fine as a user, even if I don't personally use it.

Cool, that doesn't help because I don't actually want blender.

I'm commenting on how much I hate when software is provided as just a portable executable.

I know that a lot of the time they're also provided as flatpaks or debs or in snap or windows app store, or Apple app store, etc.
But I'm talking about doing the thing that is being described in the image: unpacking a portable executable.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic 1 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Not really moot, no.

A portable executable can have neither of those things. It also won't show up in the start menu app list.

With an installer, it'll at least show up in the uninstaller, with an install size that I can see when I'm looking to uninstall things, and it'll at least show up in the app list.

But they could also package it through the app store where you get all that plus centralized update management.
But I'd be happy with just having it show up in the app list and uninstaller.

 

I'm trying to figure out a ruling for something one of my players wants to do. They're invisible, but they took a couple of seemingly non-attack actions that my gut says should break inviz.

Specifically, they dumped out a flask of oil, and then used a tinderbox to light it on fire. Using a tinderbox isn't an attack, nor is emptying a flask, although they are actions , and the result of lighting something on fire both seems like an attack and something that would dispell inviz.

I know that as DM I can rule it however I want, but I'm fairly inexperienced and I don't wanna go nerfing one of my players tools just because it feels yucky to me personally without understanding the implications.

Is this an attack or is there another justification for breaking inviz that is there some RAW clause I didn't see? Or should this be allowed?

 
 
 

I know I have small hands but c'mon. Flagship phones these days are strait up small tablets, not even what we'd have called on phablets 15 years ago.

I know it's what people buy, but I'm still sad that if I want a phone that small then I have to deal with camera and display a couple gens old

I can't stop listening to this.
I feel like I need to go play chess now. Idk if it's AI generated or not, but it's so catchy

 

I'm probably going to judge you if you say Holocene, without an interesting non-trivial reason.
