⅔ may be overestimating, but yes, they're native to all of the Middle East and Africa, and most of Europe (outside of Scandinavia) and mainland Asia (outside of deserts, Siberia etc.)

The point of sanctions is to make it harder to run a country, part of that is making the citizens angry with the government

They don't target Russians outside of Russia, and do target non-Russians in Russia, because they're meant to actually be somewhat effective rather than just inciting hate

Yeah even gpt4o couldn't keep track of encounters, run battles etc. in my case...

I think if you wanted to do it mechanically consistently you'd probably need to integrate it into a vtt where you give it context and potentially fine-tune it to give quest related summaries & gming rather than just "stuff"

Soon to be frowned upon

Better than illegal, which it currently is

Also nuisance begging is defined as:

begging where it is causing a public nuisance, such as by a cashpoint, in a shop doorway, on public transport, approaching people in their cars at traffic lights, and any broader incidence that cause harassment or distress

I'd personally say that's ok to try and get people to move along from - it's completely anecdotal but at least in Central London it's often the most aggressive beggars who you also see doing hard drugs come night, having honed their techniques after years due to the even higher difficulty of getting out of homelessness while addicted as well as the increased difficulty of building a support structure or getting temporary accommodation while addicted. That means just enforcing this law would do little other than probably increase pickpocketing, as the government needs to intervene at the root cause rather than symptoms, however it's still generally not people who are being honest who are doing what is defined here as nuisance begging so even if support structures were in place it should be a crime, while begging and sleeping rough aren't.

So personally I prefer Erlang to Elixir - the language feels more like it was designed around the programming paradigms it supports (message passing, everything's one of about 6 types for efficient serialisation etc), whereas Elixir feels like "what if we made a language with syntax like Ruby that worked like (and with the backend of) Erlang?" - there are some aspects I like, such as how the vast majority of things, even def, are a function call, and the parameter lists, but it feels very much like there's a lot of workarounds of the design principles of the language to get it to work

I also prefer Gleam to Elixir - it brings much nicer functional programming than either Erlang or Elixir and of course typing, which feels very missing from Elixir but not from Erlang, which is far clearer that something is one of very few types and lets you handle multiple types in a very natural feeling way. It also feels more akin to modern "full featured" (as opposed to scripting) languages than either Erlang or Elixir does.

Basically if you're learning something for employability, learn Elixir. If you're learning something for a potential business idea, use Gleam. If you're learning something for personal projects, see if Erlang is intuitive for you - if it is, I can guarantee you'll love it, if not, use Gleam.

That's not how backing works...

You can't back something with a lack of something, that's just a scheme to reward actions if the actions are performed by others, or nonsensical if they're performed by you; you know the government's just going to produce more cheaper and low quality weapons especially for destroying if that's how the value of the dollar works.

You also need to have two way exchange of the same material - if you give the government 1 dollar they'll destroy weapons for you, but in that situation you should be able to exchange that one dollar for your thing back, but what do you get? Do they reproduce the weapons? Do you have to destroy your own weapons? What if you don't have any?

Except Hasbro didn't get a game of the year, "someone who licenced an insignificant property of theirs" did, and so who cares (other than everyone who made/enjoyed the game, but nobody "important" like Hasbro's execs or stockholders)

Yes... It's anyone internet connected with steam, ie the people who this will affect

Is it Spotify that arrange the cut for artists or the label though?
I don't know but I'd think it's the labels as it's too much for Spotify to negotiate per-artist?

When food companies use slave labour or cut down old growth forest for intensive farms do we get mad at Walmart/Tesco/Carrefour for having a normal margin on what they buy from the food companies (which may or may not leave enough for the products to be sourced sustainably, but that's a separate argument as the food companies would likely take a higher margin over keeping the same one and making their food more sustainable if paid more) or do we blame the food companies/their suppliers?

Dismissing all ideas of those you don't like is a stupid idea and leads to you becoming dissociated from the views of the population at large but you do you I guess

At least break ideas down into categories small enough that you form a viewpoint on it to compare to theirs, as it's near impossible to find a group you agree or disagree with on everything

Sure but one of the downsides of the game (and one of the upsides, in that they allow it) is that you need 10-100 mods to patch things which should be in the base game or are just weird/unexpected, and I worry the devs are expecting modders to do their work for them... With this I bet they'll be announcing that pollution is even more purple in CS2
