Mostly in the northwest but yeah - 95 sightings this year, you can even track them on a map on the DEEP website.

They mentioning Maine up in here

A Møøse once bit my sister…

Can I get a ‘fuck spez’

This seems kind of… cruel, honestly. I mean the kid is 4; I could imagine a 9 or 10 year old being mature enough to view this as an honor / thrill of a lifetime, but 4 is reallllly pushing it.

This is wonderful. Churches are one place where the 1st Amendment is so mighty that even the current Supreme Court would be reluctant to weaken it for the sake of politics; they can teach whatever they like and Ron DeSantis can’t do a damn thing about it, and I hope they take full advantage of that.

(Perhaps some progressive white churches might join them in teaching about Black history and gender issues and other stuff students are no longer allowed to learn about in school)

I don’t think the risk-reward really works out there, a 23-in-24 chance of dying just for the chance to spend your life attending endless boring ceremonies?

Hope everyone enjoyed the coldest summer of the rest of their lives.

The most unrealistic thing about this is the fact that they get to the recipe after just one paragraph; the real version of this would have like 27 photos of the father, a long essay about growing up and his various demons, etc, and there would be at least half a dozen banners about things gut doctors are begging you not to eat along the way.

It’s not a tuna

Free, but without cheating it’s totally impossible to survive past level 10

Crusader Kings IV: you can still play as the Holy Roman Empire, but now you have to purchase the Holy Expansion Pack for $19.99, the Roman Expansion Pack for $29.99, and the Empire Expansion Pack for $39.99, despite the fact that it’s none of those things.

When you’re high enough, every bong is overcomplicated

Although one wonders if “War and Peace” would have been as highly acclaimed as it was if it was published under its original name “War: What Is It Good For?”

In addition to being good policy, this is going to be a lifeline for women in border states. (and will I suspect be much harder to police or prosecute - it’s very, very difficult to hold somebody legally liable in one country for an act committed in another)

“I thought they smelled bad on the outside”

Reminiscent of Woodstock 99:

The number of portable toilets installed proved insufficient for the number of attendees. The toilets and showers soon became unusable and overflowing, and male guests resorted to urinating on the side of the toilets or behind vendor stalls. Excrement from the toilets flowed into the mud pits and camping areas, mixing with water from the broken pipes. Many attendees began jumping into the mud pits and water troughs to stay cool in the heat, unaware of the contamination; this led to many cases of trench mouth and trench foot. The Oneida County Health Department analyzed the free drinking water, finding it to be contaminated with E. coli and other bacteria.

I think the fundamental problem is that people had different expectations for a game set in space, both because Bethesda stoked them (all of that talk of having the idea decades ago / first new franchise in however many years / Microsoft bought the company just to get it as an exclusive / etc) and because after No Man’s Sky people kind of expected that with their budget / resources they would manage to fix that game’s problems and create something richer + more seamless.

In retrospect, if they’d simply sold it as “Skyrim in Space,” admitted to the limitations up front - same underlying engine, limited amount of variety to procedurally-generated content, loading screens instead of seamless takeoff/landing, etc - and not pretended that it was something new, the response would have probably been much more uniformly positive.
