  • I also wanna say that the Steam version packages a full tutorial which will get you off the ground and also cleaned up a lot of the old game logic that was inconsistent and confusing (like how some rooms were “rooms” and others were “zones” and still others were “places”), and now I’d say that getting a base up and running is pretty intuitive since most things work just about the way you’d expect them to and it’s only “hard” if you intentionally make it that way by embarking on a dangerous biome or doing a challenge run.

    You’ll still die a lot though, 'cuz that’s the fun part.

    convert inches to miles

    When will you ever convert inches to miles? One of these is for measuring things that you can pick up with one hand, the other is for measuring traveling distances.

    The useful thing about standard measurements is that base-12 is much more useful in daily life than base-10, which is only easier to work with on paper. Make a footlong object and you can very easily make 1/2 1/3 1/4 1/6 and 1/12 versions of it, make a decimeter long object and you can only easily do 1/2 1/5 and 1/10.

    all base 10.

    You see, this is part of the problem. SI seems more logical on paper, but in practice if you want to divide by anything other than 2 or 5 you have to pile on the decimals or switch to an unwieldly small unit of measurement, which hampers the ability to use those measurements. The most commonly used “standard” measurements are the way they are because they were the most useful measurements for actual craftspeople to standardize to, while the SI system was dreamt up by a bunch of rich French people.

    voting for liberals to keep the fascists out doesn’t work

    our current system has already shown the tendency for liberals to let fascists into prominent positions of power

    in the historical example, the Germans could have saved their country by voting for communists, therefore I advocate voting for communists in the present day

    is that simple enough for you to understand?

    AFAIK FF is implementing Manifest V3 so that those add on developers who are migrating to it don’t lose FF compatibility. As long as they don’t deprecate Manifest V2 for those that need it, ad blockers will continue to be usable.

    edit: although I’ll add that there’s a major problem here that Mozilla simply can’t address. If ad block stops working on chromium browsers, and ad block users all migrate to Firefox, then that makes it a lot easier for Google or others to target users of those browsers and deny them access to their sites. Imagine if Google goes scorched earth on all browsers that support manifest v2.

    Biden has been working overtime to provide student debt relief the entire time he’s been in office

    Biden could sign an executive order right now forgiving all government-backed student loans. He doesn’t need to work overtime on this, he could literally hand-write it and sign it in like five minutes.

    We do know however that the Red Army had the most investigations of and prosecutions of rapists, so it’s a bit of a “Swedish rape crisis” problem where they look worse on paper than other countries simply because their record keeping of the crime in question is better.

    East Germany paid war reparations to the Soviets while rebuilding itself into an industrial powerhouse - the people who “stole most of East Germany’s infrastructure” were the West German capitalists after reunification, when the whole region was forcibly de-industrialized and left a shadow of its former self that still hasn’t fully recovered over thirty years later.

    Ah yes, another fantastic reason to vote for Claudia De la Cruz in this upcoming election.

    The Germans in 1932 all voted for the “realistic” liberal candidate, Hindenberg, and he went ahead and appointed Hitler as chancellor anyway. The only option to prevent the Nazis from rising to power was the communists, which is of course why the Nazis killed all the communists the first chance they got (with the help of the social democrats - don’t trust the squad is what I’m saying).
