Ummmm......Baldur's Gate 3, anyone? How about Dragon Age: Veilguard? Those are just off the top of my head.

I briefly had to fill in for some helpdesk tech support for doctors, and oh boy let me tell you, a LOT of them were absolute idiots, at least when it came to technology.

Caveat: I know nothing about 3D printing.

That being said, couldn't you just print it on its side?

Perhaps you can link to some of those reputable sources and governments then?

The problem is, a lot of states have closed primaries. So by registering independent, you throw away the one opportunity you would conceivably actually have to help shape the party's future by having a say in who their nominees are.

I agree with everything you said except that all the blame lies with Trump and Russian/Chinese disinfo campaigns. This has been going on since ~~the Tea Party~~ ~~George W Bush/Cheney~~ ~~Newt Gingrich~~ ~~Reagan~~ probably before anybody reading this was born

Good list! I would probably just also add a battery powered drill.

More wild Atlantic salmon found in U.S. rivers than any time in the past decade, officials say (apnews.com)

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.
