People keep correcting to anti-genocide but isn't the word protest enough?

Protest: "the act of objecting or gesture of disapproval."

If I protest genocide, I'm against genocide.

If I protest anti-genocide, I'm... Pro-genocide?

The original headline has so much doublespeak and mangled English to try to not say Palestine or Genocide.

Watched this as a kid in 1997 or so. I was probably 12 years old. Scared the shit out of me and I had nightmares every now and again for a while.

Great movie.

Also I moved into an area where there is less snow, but when we get it it almost always starts as rain.... Then snow... Which melts on the pavement.... And eventually the pavement hits zero and all that water turns to ice.

Now you have snow on ice, which is awful.

Where I grew up is exactly how you described it though. Generally fresh snow is fine if the road was previously plowed / treated with gravel or deicer / salt.

My mom would also suggest a heavy blanket, and maybe a candle / matches / lighter. But the candle could cause a fire if you aren't careful.

This might not be super useful if you don't write code but I always found the contest submissions fun to read and try to figure out for the https://www.underhanded-c.org/ contest.

They break down and explain the runner up and finalist for each year and how the attack works. It's usually something very subtle that most people wouldn't catch.

Iirc that rule was followed here.... The cam was to let you know when the fresh pot was ready?

That explains why I see coupons more and more. Ty.

You have me thinking of like.... A ring around the equator with space elevators on it (with stations at the top), and "rail" tracks, with trains traveling between all the stations. Gaussian launchers sending packages to your nearest delivery depot.

Uhhhh.

Apparently per Redfin 8.5% of homes in the US are 7 figures or more. We're not talking the 1% here.

In California the median home price is almost $800,000.

I'm in a HCOL area in Washington State and regularly see 3bdrm and sometimes 2bdrm condos for over 1 million.

Not to mention sure your home is equity or net worth but most people only buy one and sell it anytime they move. Many of these people also planned on selling it / downsizing in retirement and converting it towards their retirement fund.

Remember that "afford" doesn't mean they have a million dollars. "afford" means they saved up a down-payment and then paid interest and mortgage payments (sometimes barely scraping by) for at least 30 years. Usually many more years if they moved from smaller house or a condo to a larger house when they decided to have a family (thereby starting a new mortgage for another 30 years). Or worst case, they haven't paid it off and now are underwater on their mortgage.

The banks are the ones making crazy money on all this.

On top of that they can import your wishlist from Steam. You can set a threshold / price on each game, and they will let you know anytime something is below that price.

If you aren't doing more you have a parity drive, not backups, to be clear.

If a drive fails you can resilver and your data is fine.

If someone with write/delete access makes a mistake and deletes everything, or ransomware encrypt all your files, you can't just "restore from last week's backup" because you don't have one.

You know what's fascinating about that?

I'm pretty sure that every CD had the entire game and all the art assets for every town / place you could enter on the world map. Every enemy. All the music.

The only difference between each CD was the FMV cutscenes contained on them.

At least that was the story / rumor at the time. For optimization they could have reduced the art assets and music to only areas you could enter at that point in the game, and only enemy models you would see, but supposedly that wasn't the case.
