We have a very small "no dogs" park beside our house, i'm there with A when she was about 3 and a dog just runs into the park right at us, and I lift A up off the ground and hold her up while the dog is trying to jump up
And the owner comes in and acts like im the asshole for not trusting their dog
Yep. Used it for years without issue, but i feel its been enshitified over the last few years so may bin it
Abandon All Artichokes is everywhere. We have this tiny gift store in our village center and it has a copy, as does the book store.
Two places selling it in a block of about 25 shops is hilarious to me.
i've been using this app for 15 or more years, this is after an update when they changed their defaults that I have autopiloted through 1000 times.
So yes, while that is true, its also an unusual case of a practiced repeated process changing
Eh, not sure about that. It was just an update i didnt notice on an app ive used for 15 years with no issue prior
So, the application I use to clean up my registry and other things on the PC now defaults to deleting your entire downloads folder
Less than ideal when you are working on a video pulling a ton of content from said download folder.
Got it restored, but that was super stressful
Fantastic! Thank you so much!
Shadow moon syndicates is a realy good game! A card-driven sandbox with area control and handmanagement! Could be game of the year for me! @3mbg.bsky.social
Reminded of the best wrestling commentary line ever delivered by Matt Striker (of course): "Of all the things I have seen, that was the most recent"
Well, yeah.....
But that's a low low bar
That's what happened last time, we had the better record but Australia got the home game because they are Australia, one of the "big 3".
I love cricket, but I mostly like bilateral series, the world cups are always a little dodgy.
We wont get the home final, even if we win all games in a row.
it was on in the middle of the night here.
I'd love it if some point we got a home final for a tournament, but that will never happen. Beating India at home in their fav format was always going to be hard.
Apparently in season 5 "for all mankind" becomes red dust rebellion.
That is the correct number of orbs
What are the questions? Those seem to be all statements
I was told all offsite people a month ago, they made have changed their minds. All the previewers are gone, im sure of that
Based on this response, they seem to barely use it. That should hopefully get mentioned whenever they talk about its upsides
I'll own up to not saying anything. I don't actually recall the comments at all from that time. Now that could be because I didn't see them, or I've memory holed them. But I definitely I am not pleased with myself for either being uniformed or ignoring it.
I've seen them now and they are terrible
My opening post says very little asides from that it was there and now it is gone
You drew some pretty full on conclusions from that yourself and what I was trying to do was say that leaping to conclusions might not be the best thing to do
In future though, just repost it and start your own thread
You seem very certain about exactly what went down, in what order and for what reasons. So you must have a lot more knowledge of this than I do.
I assumed the new people working in the news section of Eric left didn't know Sandy was toxic. That's my assumption.
My theory is with W Eric Martin moving on after running the BGG news section forever, there are new people in there who don't know Sandys baggage and just thought he was another designer.
Someone else spotted this later and pulled it.
I don't think it was anything deliberate.
I suspect with Eric moving on after what, 20 years of doing that, they have new people in the news space who may not have known about Sandy's baggage.
I'd chalk this one up to a new person not knowing how much of a DB Sandy is
I think this is unkind, someone posted this, then someone else went "Oh hell no" and pulled it. This is new people doing the news there as well
Somewhat undermines your message there. This has done nothing but given sandy a reason to go to twitter and say how hes a victim. I doubt BGG wanted that.
A reminder that we spent billions on new defence toys that NZDF didn't want in order to placate Trump and the US military industrial complex so that he wouldn't put tariffs on us.... and he still put the tariffs in place.
The NZ Government is America First, NZ last yet again.
These are the 4 things AI can do well:
•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday
You can see why we need to base our economy around it
Ah, i think mine was 5 years ago or so, when covid started his mask slipping and he went from "old dude saying buy my stuff" to "Masks bad and trans people bad" on his socials
Then you might have one of me from years ago on twitter calling him out for his massive transphobia.
So this was on BGG for a few hours and no longer appears to be.
They had this collective delusion that he was on John Key's level, when Key is a very different type of person.
Luxon just cannot handle the job at all, I don't recall a PM so utterly unprepared for leadership as him. It's quite damning of the modern manager MBA leadership style
