I am so fucking sorry you are in this shit and I wish you and your children good luck going forward. Sadly it seems like you will need it.

This would especially be great if one could upload their photos but if you decide to include a few of your own please add a photo of trump.

Bonus if you make an easter egg where when you throw one tomato at trump it doesn't apply a tomato effect and instead changes to the picture of him being shot.

There was a time where I would have been happy to pay for it too, back when the ads were less intrusive. However, the number of ads increased drastically when they started pushing premium, and it's only gotten worse - not to mention the fact that, even though they make more money, the content creators (employees) are paid less per view. I don't mind paying for a product or service. I do mind paying to make an engineered inconvenience from a mega corporation that has a de facto monopoly go away.

I'm sorry if I'm pissing off any annoying orange fans with this particular comparison. However, one cannot deny that he is indeed an annoying orange.

Still a better love story than Twilight

Could be, though I am not claiming it is the best distro ever made. It is very good for my use case, however, and I think that it is a good option for many gamers that are considering taking the leap.

Been running Bazzite for a month and having a great experience with it! My nvidea cards work with no hassle, and with the extended proton I have had issues with only 1 game so far, and even that was fixed by just switching to a different version. Only downside so far is that Wayland doesn't work as well as X11 on my DE, but with the rest working great, I have no complaints :)

Hey now, we Dutchies love taking the piss out of Belgians just as much :)

Loved those as well and I am very angry they are no longer sold (at least not here). Even Sennheiser doesn't escape the enshittification for their mid-range earbuds

We do have pancakes with bacon or cheese yes, but they are typically combined with "stroop" (sugarbeet syrup), not fruits. At least, not to my knowledge.

A worse food crime we do is the pickled herring with raw onions, imo.

I know I'm not in a great position to give culinary criticism as a Dutchman but what the actual fuck

Unsure about the experience on steam deck but on my PC Bazzite runs like a charm! Installed Proton-GE for extended compatibility and have yet to run into a game that doesn't work out of the box or has significant issues. Even the very niche game Sprocket runs great!

 

 

Honestly it seems like a no-brainer to me to put a solar panel on the roof of electric cars to increase their action radius, so I figured there's probably one or more good reasons why they don't.

Also, I acknowledge that a quick google could answer the question, but with the current state of google I don't want to read AI bullshit. I want an actual answer, and I bet there will be some engineers eager to explain the issues.

 

It was a part of the Spudnik programme.

 

Hey everyone! Let's try to get some more activity in here. I was wondering what kind of rulers you have all created. I realize most medieval settings will probably have a monarch rule the lands, but this does not have to be the case. So, what kind of governing systems have you created in your worlds?

I'll start off as I am making the post. My players are in an archipelago divided into five inhabited sections. One of them excersizes a system I have dubbed "Elected Sacrificial Monarchy." Bit of a mouthful, but the principle is simple. The people elect a mostly absolute ruler who will rule for five years. They can be granted two additional years in a re-election if they are popular enough. When their term, extended or not, ends, they are beheaded in public after a new leader has been chosen. There are clauses that can give exceptions in dire cases (defensive war or some other disaster), but they are rarely invoked.

The principle of this is that only those who wish to better their nation and are prepared to pay the ultimate price to do it will put themselves forward as a candidate to rule. It is by no means a perfect system, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. So, what about all of you? Did you have any unique governments in your settings? Tell us about it :)

Happened at our table a couple of months back.

 

Oh the irony of loving winter but disliking the associated holidays. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

 

Title, basically. Enjoy trying to sniff your own snot!
