"Technically, if your computer breaks and you can't recover those games after Valve decides to close its doors, those games are gone forever." Yeah, and? Is there a storefront that doesn't apply to? Just how long do you think CDs and floppy disks (and the hardware to access them) last, if you haven't lost them already? Is it more or less than Valve's lifespan so far?

I'm sorry, I misread your statement. I think we're on the same page.

Yeah, the good news is no one has ever suffered permanent damage from verbal abuse, so no problems, right?

And why is physical violence no-tolerance (except when it isn't) but verbal violence is a-okay?

I'm not saying physical violence is okay, and I never have. In fact, I generally go the other direction, saying that physical violence should be a last resort for solving problems, and that those who use it clearly don't have better tools to solve their problems. And know which groups is known for not having a lot of experience solving problems? Kids. That's why we have adults supervising them. And training those kids that verbal violence is okay, and a great way to harass your peers, is, to put it bluntly, pretty fucking stupid. And some of those kids learn that a suspension isn't that big a deal to some of the kids they bully, which is a hell of a lot better lesson than the adults around them were teaching them.

Most of my immediate family are on Android and use Signal. I'm happier this way.

Even the guy beside the jumper was pulling him back.

I suspect this side of the mold is flush with the face of the coin and the other side is recessed to the depth of the coin. That would give the depth of the coin for metal to flow and still make this a workable partial mold.

Or you're completely right and this is an unworkable mold.

🤷‍♂️

There were other critical fails, but this is certainly the biggest.

Absolutely the most environmentally friendly option.

There is also out-of-season produce from Mexico. I'm not sure of the price difference - I didn't even look - but it solves some problems.

Thanks, that's quite informative. I take it the Stripe option is new. If those trends continue, it looks like things are currently financially secure, but not necessarily paying things back soon or building much of a reserve for replacement hardware. Hopefully the added awareness gets a few more donors. Given the low costs we're seeing, even $10/year will make a notable difference.

I have half a bottle of Southern Comfort, the only American booze I've bought in a long time. For reference, this was bought before Trump was elected. I may have to find an alternative.

What exactly is the threshold you're waiting for on this escape plan?
