Yeah, the steak looks like it was cooked some before the eggs were dropped in, so it won't be the prettiest but should cook and taste just fine.

Florida just banned lab grown meat and removed climate change targets from their books. So, the usual for them.

I think the Pietà on my coffee table would be more of a conversation starter.

It's not stated well in that article but the bill actually has an exception for secret societies to request permits to wear masks for parades and such. A Democrat state rep (forget her name) pointed out this explicitly would protect the KKK but not regular folk wanting to, say, legally protest Palestine murders, because everyone knows they would be denied permits.

Earlier versions of this bill kept failing until they added what people are calling the KKK exception.

It's complicated, but some would argue the modern Internet started in 1986 (with the adoption of DNS and TCP/IP for the NFSNET), a full year after Handmaid's Tale was published even.

But yeah, Atwood stated she took inspiration from religious movements in the 1980s to oppress women, the Islamic revolution in Iran in the 1970s and it's effect on women, and the pushback in late 1940s against women working after the war ended.

All of this prexisted the Internet by a long shot.

Call it "Sky gate" and control the tube with a $15 cheapo gamepad and I'm in.

No, Stupid, Questions!

The Michigan AG recently announced she is planning to sue fossil fuel companies for their impact and coverup as well! I partially wonder if this is thanks to the groups of kids suing government for failure to implement change that was hitting news last year

I think most people categorize chowder under the soup umbrella though.

Wikipedia has a list of places named after each president. I see zero southern schools named after Obama. You might be on to something.

It's not necessarily that it's tricky to crack (it's certainly not easy, don't get me wrong), but that there's no point for a couple reasons that combine:

1. To crack a game you have to redo it any time there's a major release of the game, such as DLC/expansion/major bug fix. The reasons for this are numerous and outside scope. But it takes time.
2. Most crackers can only do so many games, so they often wait until most or all major additions are out.
3. Denuvo is expensive and operates on a yearly license
4. Most game studios only license Denuvo for those first few update cycles when they get the most sales and then remove it themselves because of the cost

That means many don't even bother trying to crack Denuvo because they just can wait it out. It's a resource balancing game on both sides.

Most of the upper eschalon of 343 have left or were kicked out over the last year, including some of the worst offenders who drove the creation of the crap we've had recently such as Kiki Wolf kill.

It seems like they're internally rebuilding 343 because they know how much of a powerhouse that IP can be if done right. I'm not optimistic about the next Halo, but cautiously hopeful now at least.
