The rollout of RCS on iMessage has been confusing to me. I know some carriers like Mint don't yet support iMessage RCS; the company's founder has said that it's something on their end that will be fixed around December. But I've also seen some people on Apple's forums pointing fingers at Apple.

I want to get a better understanding of what the holdup is. How does the iMessage RCS bridge work? What are the technical challenges? Why was every carrier not working on this for months and prepared for the iOS 18 rollout? And if I'm using Google Messages on an MVNO that doesn't yet support iMessage RCS, does that imply I can't RCS message an iPhone user on a carrier that does support it?

Dollars to donuts she was on her phone. It's not an unfortunate accident, it's manslaughter

Sounds like you're thinking of 538's election needle, not polling data. If a candidate has 60% of the votes in a poll, assuming the poll is accurate, they win 100% of the time. The standard deviation on a population this big is practically 0

Assuming crutches work like other bludgeoning weapons, a mithril crutch would be right about useless. Mithril's one of the lightest materials in the game and bludgeoning weapons scale based on their weight. It's a bit of an exploit to give your Hammerer a mithril warhammer so when he goes to mete out justice to a criminal dwarf, it's more of a light tickle than a hospitalization

Bummer. I can see why a plug wouldn't be reliable for a gash like this, but why wouldn't you trust a patch here?

I noticed this hole when I got to work in the morning. It lets out enough air that I can hear it when I try to inflate the tire. What are my options here, aside from buying and mounting a new tire? Is this fixable with liquid sealant? A rubber rope kit?

I'm not taking this bike past 90mph, so any fix doesn't need to be capable of withstanding incredibly high stress. But I don't want to be unsafe, either. Thanks for the help.

My recollection is that Columbus was also wrong about its size. He thought the distance from Europe to Asia via the Atlantic was much smaller than it really is, but got lucky and found the Americas on the way

It's NV. You're thinking of Lily the nightkin companion

without growth you can't save

What? Why? If I'm making a million dollars profit a year, why can't I just put it in a bank account or ETFs or whatever every year?

I'm very anti-DRM as well, but I'm willing to give Valve my money even if there's a chance I lose my game down the line. Some of that money's going towards Proton and making Linux more popular
