Please do not count on 22LR for any sort of self defense purposes. It's a great round for shooting paper targets and small critters, but against a human it has the stopping power of a letter opener. Sure, it might stop someone if you hit just the right spot, or pain might shock someone inexperienced into pausing long enough for you to run, but you don't really want to be counting on either of those in a life or death scenario.

Why pay $200/mo for cell service when companies like Mint and Cricket exist? You could be paying under $200/yr for that alone.

Hospitals would often have two prices - the insurance price, and the cash price. If you told them that you didn't have insurance, the price could go down drastically from the estimate. Now they're required to charge the insurance company and the uninsured the same amount.

This is covered in the technobabble of the show. The gate is one way to anything bigger than radio waves, so the camera would see nothing until enough of it had dematerialized for the rest to be sucked through.

Quick removal isn't a big concern since the drive is read only. You might crash anything with an open file handle, but you don't have to worry about data corruption.

While I agree in general, that wouldn't have helped in this case, and likely would have just made things worse. He couldn't draw on the Karen for being a racist piece of trash, and his next interaction was with the police, whom he certainly couldn't have drawn on. Then the cops would have trumped up the charges because he was armed, and he never would have seen the gun again after it disappeared into the evidence locker.

I'm surprised Zombicide (first edition, though I'd be surprised if it didn't also apply to 2e) isn't in this list. The tutorial mission has an estimated play time of (IIRC) 30 minutes. In reality, I find that it's approximately one hour per newbie, or half that per player who knows all of the rules. Plus 30 minutes of setup time.

There's an ancient idiom that explains this perfectly:

"The cobbler's children have no shoes"

Except we're talking about Texas, where Democrats have never held enough power to do any significant gerrymandering. Assuming you're acting in good faith and not just a bot, is it possible that you're failing into the trap of assuming that because one of the most heavily gerrymandered districts (Texas 35th) is blue that Democrats did the gerrymandering?

They didn't. Republicans did, to pack as many blue votes into a single district as possible so multiple others around it could be red. If the districts were drawn fairly, the thin corridor connecting Austin and San Antonio would be red, and multiple districts above and below that corridor would be blue.

That's because the person who had the solution removed their comment history, but the person who said thank you didn't.

This is clearly humor, but for anyone wondering what the actual connection is, it's that Mark Shuttleworth, the billionaire founder and CEO of Canonical (the company that maintains Ubuntu), is from South Africa. He liked the word, and decided to name his new Debian fork after it.
