Maybe I'm wrong, but wasn't there a way to release this while avoiding the issue of copyright? My understanding is that publishing "clean-room" reverse engineered code is legal. The graphics and sound can't be redistributed, but you can distribute a tool to rip those assests from a ROM and let the users provide a ROM they own. This is what Ship of Harkinian does no?

... symbolically eat his flesh, drink his blood...

Unless you are Lutheran. In which case they believe Jesus has "real presence" during communion.

Jesus said it, so it must literally be true, "is means is".

This is worded better than what I said. The second round isn't 1/2 because the door you initially picked was 1/100.

I was stubborn about this for so long, and I'm still not entirely sure I understand it, but here is a perspective that made me doubt my belief.

Imagine the Monty Hall Problem, but with 100 doors and only one grand prize. You pick one; it obviously has a 1/100 chance of being a grand prize. Then Monty reveals 98 doors without grand prizes in them such that the only doors left are the one you chose and one that Monty left unopened. Monty obviously arranged for one of those two doors to have the grand prize behind it. The "choice to switch" is really just a second round of the game, ~~but with a 1/2 chance of winning~~ (wrong, your odds change only if you "participate" in round two).

If you stick with your door, you are relying on your initial 1/100 chance of winning. If you switch, you are getting the ~~1/2~~ odds of the "second round".

Apparently with three doors, switching gives you a 2/3 chance of winning, but I don't understand the math of how to get that answer and I wouldn't be able to calculate the odds of the 100 door version. I just know intuitivey that switching is better.

She has spell cards in the monster card zone.

EDIT: Nevermind, the entire field is just upside down.

I don't know about the Obsidian-specific stuff for linking notes and such, but I know it uses Markdown for the text of the notes, which is a common standard.

Here is a guide for Markdown basic syntax. Here is a guide for Markdown extended syntax for things like tables and footnotes.

"As the Footsteps Die Out Forever" by Catch 22. Genre is ska punk. It's about the loss of a family member.

Somehow, it seems, you managed to cause PipedLinkBot to repost your YouTube link instead of the Piped link, which then triggers PipedLinkBot to reply to itself infinitely. Maybe because the link is to an unlisted video?

I don't know how to get it to stop. Maybe a moderator can ban it temporarily.

Milk companies used to pick up and drop off refillable glass milk bottles. We could reduce plastic use if soda companies did something similar with vending machines.

It would be really cool if there were national container size standards like mason jar sizes. Maybe grocery stores or recycling centers could "buy back" empty jars to be cleaned and reused. We've got to do something because we've collectively been sitting on our hands for the last 40+ years that plastic waste has been a known issue.

If it felt like suffering you should consider seeing a urologist.
