I have trouble believing that petition matters since it reads like business as usual for the CPC. The only thing that stands out is that it doesn't specifically call out the carbon tax.

It didn't have any peripherals, I mean, like, external USB ones.

Google had the game in their hand and then they destroyed Hangouts.

I mean if you're on GSuite, fundamentally isn't a loss of control of your personal Gmail account just as likely as a loss of control of your professional account?

It does show how browsers offering cloud-synched password vaults without mandating 2FA to use that feature is grossly irresponsible.

2FA is, in my experience, the thing that would be blocking 99% of this kind of attack. Which shows how if you're regularly using something that doesnt have 2FA that should be a red flag. In this case it was 2 layers of that:

Their google account probably didn't have 2FA, and neither did that service account. Now obviously a service account generally won't have 2FA, but if you're regularly keying in service account credentials into a web browser something has gone wrong.

Exactly. If it's a statically typed language and the function has a clear name? I know what type it is, I know what it's for, I'm good.

There are far worse sins, like intermediate variables or worse, public class members named "obj" or "data".

Disappointed Moto Mods didn't catch on. The obvious approach of "skinny phone with minimal features but you can slap whatever you like onto the back (radios, projectors, beefy batteries, gamepad, etc)" - just makes sense for me. I loved my old Moto Z.

People are still allowed to want nice things. If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution.

There cannot and should not be balanced and open discussion on this issue. You cannot "polite" your way into finding a way to say that non-binary people are not legitimate.

This is paradox-of-tolerance stuff. Maintaining an inclusive community requires being intolerant of intolerance.

The existence of non-binary people does not hurt you.

Insisting on finding ways to deny that they exist hurts them.

So no, there will be no polite disagreement.

Fuck the chuds.

Honestly even the idea of an emergency fund, I mean accounting dorks say things like "save six months salary in an accessible, liquid form".

Does anybody really do that? I mean for a middle-class well-educated dual-income household that's probably close to 100k, which we were all recently reminded the limit for bank account insurance.

If you own your home doesn't it make more sense to have a secured line of credit set for emergencies and then ride as close to the wire as you feel comfortable?

Why are we listening to a Ana Bailao? She was part of the government that dropped this particular ball. Why don't we ask Mike Harris what to do about water treatment, or Kathleen Wynne what to do about power generation?

Agree that the mecha feel a bit more samey, but I played the heck out of the first AC games and I don't miss the long and winding maps. I still remember maps I had to play Descent-style constantly switching to the 3D map (like the biological missions with the mouse-monsters in the first game). It was boring and tedious. And I don't miss superlong missions where I had to ammo-ration.

A fundamental problem with AC is they don't give you enough info to make informed decisions about config unless you want to try->die->redesign. Like if they had a preview of the terrain and some rough guesstimates about mission length and ammo needs, you could tailor your mech without the "oops I didn't know this was going to be a marathon I'm out of ammo" which is just the most miserable way to lose. AC6 makes this explicit in that you probably won't run out of ammo if you've 4 weapons and you use all of them. Given the alternative, I'll take it.

And as for the "why isn't stagger a function of knockback" that was terrible gameplay you could stunlock people in the early AC games.

I like the cooldown-based weapons, like the motion model (fighting while doing the flanking boost is hella fun)... But yes, the energy model is weird and imho does a lot to make the ACs feel samey. It used to be picking an energy weapon meant a tradeoff that you were draining your boost power when firing.

But yes I miss the radar. I think the expectation is that players will lock-on and then forget it, but I hate lock-on so I switched to mouse and keyboard and I find I'm often losing fast-moving targets in my periphery.

I miss the limited rotation rate of the early games, where boosting backwards to put a target in front of you was often better than turning to face them. Rotation rates was another way different layouts felt different. This also led to considerations with FCS shapes - short-ranged weapons with wider targeting-boxes that didn't require aiming.

But on the other other hand, the spreadsheet of numbers is always dumb. I can't think of any genre other than turn-based RPGs that are better for including "this weapon does different damage to target X vs target Y". That's always annoying trivia - let the Pokemon players keep that nonsense.

Yikes, I was feeling ashamed for cracking 1000. I had it running on my smartwatch so I could used my phone at the same time.

What's funny is I had a really busy day yesterday. Went to a reggae concert, took my kid to the rock climbing gym, went to the beach, worked out, did yardwork, etc. Somehow placed 4 figures of pixels?
