Mind you, while it's not actually quite that simple -- disrupted work, even if it's compensated, can cause a long term decrease in income by screwing with advancement/promotion/work history/etc. -- it would certainly be a good start.

... or would have been a good start several months ago, along with not having a staggeringly fucked up response on the education/child care front. Staggeringly fucking everything up was probably the only possible results with a murderous piece of shit like devos at the highest levels of educational decision making, though :-\

Herman Cain has succumbed to the 'Rona.
Didn't he get it at the last Trump rally?
Spoiler: F (click to show/hide)
Seem to recall he supposedly caught it at the tulsa rally, yeah. Which means you can check off the box besides "literally killing their supporters" under the trump rally checklist, if it wasn't already ticked.

Like, please don't even joke. I have family that's been defrauded by those fucks, and their horseshit literally kills people (by bankrupting folks on the edge, leading to suicide or unpayable healthcare costs causing missed but necessary medical care). Joking about turning to that fucking murderously immiserating shit is actually not funny :-\

Specifically it means opening every locked door in the game, near as I can tell.

It's important to have goals.

Sometimes a game just really gets me, y'know? Metal Max 3 is one of those times.

Though yeah, there's plenty of simple molecules or elements that have a pharmacological effect. It's never been difficult to find stuff that has an effect.

The eternal trick is finding an effect that doesn't also omnifuck the human it's introduced into. Lot of stuff that will kill a virus also cheerfully kills anything human-bits related, too...

Fucking wow. Just walked by a Ford commercial and its hook was "If you lose your job within the year, you can return the vehicle for a refund." Just plague things, I guess.

I mean, not gon' lie, if they replaced the largely arbitrary pain in the arse food clock for an even more arbitrary clock, like, what little interest hearing about them yeeting the food clock out of the window generated in me would die a rapid and probably permanent death, heh. An explicit clock would at least remove the nonsense busywork eating involved, but it still leaves the friggin' clock itself.

Seriously, if you don't want to let people grind just nix whatever mechanic they're grinding. Let XP/favor/item gain stop after whatever point you think is too much. Clocks are a pain in the bloody arse.

Wait, stone soup has ditched the food clock? That's almost enough to make me want to play it again...

We do that all the time, though. That's, like, the entire meat industry in one sentence :V

Exodia's a children's cartoon/card game thing. Comes from Yu-gi-oh.

... so is exurb1a some kind of bootleg exodia or...?

I got my brother's old laptop, a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. The keyboard and touchpad are on their last legs, and it's in poor physical shape. What can I do with it that isn't "disassemble it and cannibalize it for parts", "use it as a HTPC" (already have one) or "destroy it"?
I've been using my half-dead laptop as a mousepad, personally. It turns out they're actually, like, super good at providing a fairly stable flat surface on top of a less stable one (like a bed, in this case). You can meaningfully use a laptop that's largely non-functional in any situation where a fairly heavy flat surface would be helpful, which depending on your lifestyle may or may not be plentiful.

I mean, I don't know why you'd do it, other than for whatever reason you collect similar materials. That's why I was asking :P

Probably most curious if anyone had tried to cook with it somehow, but any use for it besides destroying stalagmites would be neat to hear about.

3645
So human fingers and such have oils on them or somethin'. It's why we basically destroy monuments and whatnot of you let people touch them.

Has anyone tried to, like. Collect that? If so, what were they trying to do with it?
