Daaaammmnnnn, I played Wizardry 8 back in the day and that game was fantastic. Never played any of the earlier ones though.

They've had plenty of vegans/vegetarians on the show in the past. They just use cauliflower wings or some other alternative.

Also, it's a show called "Hot Ones". They have 10 hot sauce bottles prominently displayed on the table right in front of both the guest and the host. What about that makes you think that the focus is on the chicken, rather than hot sauce? Have you ever watched it, even once?

Police are suddenly going to become really bad at estimating just how far away 25 feet is.

I think at this point she's already shown that she IS outright against the prosecution.

I live in the path of totality....it was cloudy here. Still was incredibly cool when it got dark, but now I want to see one for real.

And that's honestly a not-insignificant part of why everything is so fucked up and polarized now.

Lmao they only considered 95 > 98 > ME to be minor version updates? They didn't even deserve their own major version? Although it's probably pretty accurate, I remember 98 basically just being a slightly updated 95. I never used ME so no idea with that. It's still pretty funny though.

I had free laundry for most of my freshman year of college. We had coin operated machines, and somebody quickly figured out that you can strip 2 wires and just touch them together, or touch a coin to both of them, and every time you did that the machine would think a coin had been inserted. Eventually the college caught on and one day I went down there and all the machines were taken apart with maintenance guys working on them, and after that there was a heavy duty housing for the coin acceptor with no exposed wires. It was nice while it lasted!

Lmao, I honestly thought that at least the "Made in Italy" part was just a joke

Are you only allowed to like things that you liked when you were growing up?

The last wild Atlantic salmon that return to U.S. rivers have had their most productive year in more than a decade, raising hopes they may be weathering myriad ecological threats.

Officials counted more than 1,500 of the salmon in the Penobscot River, which is home to the country’s largest run of Atlantic salmon, Maine state data show. That is the most since 2011 when researchers counted about 2,900 of them.

The salmon were once abundant in American rivers, but factors such as overfishing, loss of habitat and pollution reduced their populations to only a handful of rivers in Maine. The fish are protected by the Endangered Species Act, and sometimes only a few hundred of them return from the ocean to the rivers in a year.

The greater survival of the salmon could be evidence that conservation measures to protect them are paying off, said Sean Ledwin, director of the Maine Department of Marine Resources sea-run fish programs. The count of river herring is also up, and that could be aiding the salmon on their perilous journey from the sea to the river.
