Comment on Should the plural of "milf" be "milfs" or "milves"? in ~humanities.languages
Bonooru LinkSince the plural of Attorney General is Attorneys General and the abbreviations thereof are AG and AGs. It follows that MILF should be MILFs.- Exemplary

Bonooru LinkI Just want to be Single is a very silly premise for a game. It seems like it was overly ambitious and the kickstarter money has run out.I Just want to be Single is a very silly premise for a game. It seems like it was overly ambitious and the kickstarter money has run out.

I don't know of a Tildes server, but I'd be up for joining one if there is.
EDIT: I didn't see any threads mentioning one after a quick search. If anyone wants to start one, send me an invite

Bonooru Link ParentIt's the same theory as having multiple intelligence agencies. If they have overlapping domains, you can use them to verify each other and make sure none of them are plotting against you. EDIT:...It's the same theory as having multiple intelligence agencies.

Then we get large chunks of time missing (especially important chunks of time), which is also unsettling. Independent of that, you have the societal changes of this kind of test becoming commonplace, which are unsettling in their own right.

So there should be at least one more after this.Not disagreeing about their difficulties with counting, but this isn't Steam Machine 2. This is Steam Machine Reboot.

D&D probably isn't the best system since it assumes a 4+ person party in the action economy for combat and a wide distribution of skill options out of combat. If you do decide to go with D&D consider having your player make a gestalt character to make sure that they have enough versatility

I think it's a function of most of the steam audience doesn't use PC games as their primary downtime activity and of the people who do, most of them play a much smaller number of games total. So, if you happen to approach video games differently than average, your stats will be skewed compared to the average.

Comment on Deinterlining: simpler subway service, fewer delays (New York City) in ~transport

As an aside, it's easy to forget how big the scale of the New York subway is. "The MTA estimates that deinterlining Nostrand Junction will save riders 1.7 minutes every day, a cumulative 1 year of time daily [2] across over 300,000 daily riders." took me by surprise. It seems reasonable once you think about it, but it's still kinda wild

There's some overlap, but not enough for things to feel full featured.
IIRC the general advice for importing phones into the US is to do some research for the area that you live to check what bands are used for your carrier and then to compare that against what bands the imported phone uses. Usually Verizon is nothing, AT&T might have something if you're lucky, and T-Mobile has ~10% coverage.
This looks very silly. I'll have to check out the demo
