M1 Abrams: Requires an advanced economy plus an army of General Dynamics contractors for maintenance
Trebuchet: Can be completely repaired by one hammer-wielding villager
Plus, I assume that tanks count as a cavalry archer unit, which means any old monk can start converting them. Meanwhile trebuchets can’t be converted until your enemy researches redemption at the monastery.
Breakfast: Coffee and toast
Lunch: Toasted sandwich or reheated dinner leftovers
Dinner: Something home-cooked
As someone who usually prefers a hot meal over a cold one, that’s my standard fare. It’s not a crazy effort.
The nice thing about morrowind is that because it’s mostly text-based, it’s so much easier for modded dialogue to blend in with original content (if it’s written well).
Hmm, maybe I should try my hand at modding: With the right speech craft/personality stats, you can trick Crassus Curio into kissing a guar.
A division by zero is incalculable. On computers, this is sometimes represented by a special value NaN, which stands for “Not a number”.
So we could be NaNs? Although a few Anglo countries use Nan to refer to a grandmother.
Another benefit: NaN implies a kind of freedom. To quote from the cult 60’s show The Prisoner: “I am not a number, I am a free man”
Instance defederation drama retold through half-remembered hearsay? Surely we can do better.
Whoever invented this is a business genius.
Take the broken pretzel pieces from your assembly line, coat them in 5¢ of seasoning, and charge double the price.
I’m not even mad, because they taste so fucking good.
Fun language fact:
BRB, putting my bed in orbit around the black hole from TNG “Night Terror”. Can’t have bad dreams if an alien ship from a parallel dimension is blocking REM sleep.
Neither Napoleon’s consulate nor his empire were democratic. Even the directory that he overthrew only stayed in power by nullifying electoral results that they didn’t like.

Summary:
Street = Has businesses, houses, shops and sidewalks. Designed for humans.
Road = Higher speed limit than streets, generally no businesses or sidewalks, as it’s just there to connect areas. Designed for cars.
Stroad = A connection between areas that also has businesses. You have higher speed limits, minimal sidewalks and it’s dangerous/impossible to cross on foot. The only way to get around to different businesses along a stroad is by car.
The server code could also be released as a binary blob under a proprietary license. No different from distributing any other piece of software.
It was a giant open-plan office and there were only 1-2 people constantly vaping, so I didn’t smell much. It was quiet though, so it could be easily heard.
Everyone else did the right thing and smoked/vaped on the roof every hour. Any why wouldn’t you? It’s a guaranteed break away from your crummy desk.
In my anecdotal experience, French people vape a shitload.
I had French coworkers who vaped nonstop in the Paris office. You could hear the click of the heating element every few minutes. I’ve also seen old French ladies ripping from huge tricked out vapes.
At my last job, there was no planning of work/projects. Like, there was a general plan of “We need feature X by Q3 and here’s what it should do”, but nothing about breaking work down into smaller units or prioritizing different tasks.
The manager would drop an email: “Hey, can you do …” and that was it. Now it’s another thing to throw down the waterfall. Big surprise, the same bastard would harp about how the project was underperforming!
I hope USA Fencing (the org who manages competition fencing in the United States) doesn’t bend to right-wing pressure and change their rules. It is a bare minimum to respect your opponent in any martial sport. Otherwise the implicit contract of “we are fighting for sport, not blood” can’t be upheld, and you can’t trust your opponent to engage safely.
ARR I think is Annual Recurring Revenue
It’s probably using WebView, or whatever it’s called where an android app brings up a browser window. If you have Firefox as your default web browser, apps will use it instead of chrome. It’s usually pretty nice, because if you have adblock in Firefox you also get adblock in the app.
It’s possible that the sign-in webpage wants to talk to the camera before returning control to the app.
If it’s trying to talk to a device over Bluetooth or USB, it’s not supported in Firefox. Mozilla refuses to implement WebUSB because they think the danger of letting people accidentally flash malware onto a physical device outweighs the benefits.
Not a Polish film, but Hard to be a God (2013) is that.
It’s a 3hr B&W Russian film about futuristic scientists who are living on a medieval planet to study it. Everything is disgusting, claustrophobic, and filthy (the main character is a germophobe). As he watches a fascist theocracy take control of the kingdom, the protaginist wrestles with whether or not to get involved.
