Not exactly (I don’t think). You could choose pre-written responses, but only after the initial spiel about the screening and eventually you’d have to either hang up or answer the call. This is more like you can just pick up the call and text whatever.
Fun fact, that actually doesn’t happen as often as people think. Most observations of it are in a lab setting which can be stressful for the insects, leading to a bit of abnormal behavior. It does happen in nature, just not nearly as often.
Are you suggesting that maybe getting ready for a large gathering is potentially more stressful than hosting said big gathering after putting in all the work to get it ready??
Well duh, you always (short term) make more money (short term) when you’re paying fewer employees (short term)! And those (short term) gains will look really good in the future ex-CEO’s resume (and bank account)!
Yeah, imagine that DM leads you to the BBEG lair and you try sneaking through the library and suddenly they say “ok so 1,200 explosive glyphs just went off, roll 1,200d20 to see how many you save for half damage, and then roll 3,600d8 for damage.”
As pc gamer (and new Deck owner) i’ve started to check any good game deal, mostly x games on Steam but not only. I’ve soon realize that there are great site like Humble to use to buy keys for cheap, but also “shady” sites with very low price who apparently sell non working keys or try to scam you. Did we have a list of...
It’s a fantastic game and it’s currently on sale for the lowest it’s been in a long time. Just be aware that it’s heavily based on large scale teamwork, and you won’t really be able to take advantage of many parts of the game without joining an org. That being said, it’s still a great game just to grab a rifle and join the front line.
Seattle police will begin implementing the nation’s first policy that governs the use of police patrol “ruses,” a statement an officer knows is not true but may be helpful to an investigation, according to city press release Monday....
While the article is just rubbish, as if vertical va horizontal is settled by sticking your games to the wall (how big do they think my house is, maybe if I life in a climbing gym). However for a few games it could be cool.
I also want to throw Tabletop Playground in the mix. It’s like TTS but has a better user experience, and they didn’t disable global chat because someone talked about being trans like TTS did.
tilthat: TIL a philosophy riddle from 1688 was recently solved. If a man born blind can feel the differences between shapes such as spheres and cubes, could he, if given the ability, distinguish those objects by sight alone? In 2003 five people had their sight restored though surgery, and, no they could not....
I mean, apparently. The brain is so weird, it’s really really difficult to even imagine what it’s like to experience certain things that other people do. For example, sometimes people have their corpus callosum (the membrane between the hemispheres that allows them to communicate with each other) severed to prevent certain types of seizures, and afterwards they lose the ability to see “green men” as faces.
“We can disclose only now that we had a server in Toronto seized in 2015, initially without our knowledge. Maybe a court order was served to the datacenter. For about 10 days we did not understand what happened to the server, which did not respond, while the datacenter did not provide information....
I dunno, if my VPN came out and said “heads up, one of our servers was seized and you have literally nothing to worry about because nothing is stored or logged on our servers,” that’s good news IMO. Obviously the best case scenario is not having it seized, but sometimes that’s not possible, and it’s a mark of a good VPN when the consequences to you of a server being seized are the same as if it wasn’t (i.e., none).
I came across privacy.com, a service that generates virtual credit cards, like aliases for your real credit card that can be paused or discarded at any moment....
But this does the number of companies that have your information. If you use a privacy.com card at two online stores, that’s one company that had your info instead of two.
The game is so much better now but it still falls short IMO, and it’ll never live up to its original promise. Plus, the game was soooo bad on release that they decided to kill all future DLC except for this one. Which means the game is never getting another major update, no more fixes and no more work towards delivering on the original vision.
I think it’s probably already too late. They’ve laid off staff and winded down development already. Usually DLCs are developed in tandem the game and other DLCs. They’d have to make a big change to make a new DLC now, and it would take a long time for it to come out.
After serving more than a month of in-school suspension over his dreadlocks, a Black student in Texas was told he will be removed from his high school and sent to a disciplinary alternative education program on Thursday....
Well, not for long. 1.6 is the very last update ever (unless it breaks something and needs a hot fix) and then he’s working on Haunted Chocolatier full time.
Title is somewhat misleading. It’s not for anything video-related. It’s for using a (probably free) photo of actress Cuca Escribano without permission.
I thought the whole point of these things is to sue them so you can get it front of a judge who might say it is in fact legally Plex’s responsibility, so the whole thing becomes Plex’s legal responsibility, and they can either crack down massively internally or get sued into oblivion by others, and they didn’t have to go through the whole big rigamarole of suing each individual person.
I thought I heard once that the demo is just the full version, but you can just also buy it to support the devs? That might be outdated or just wrong information though.
