I for one am quite hyped about this new expac. They have really sold me on the Homestead.

You can still try the base game for free if you want to give it another go.

And when it goes on sale, the "Complete" Collection (First three expacs + the Living Story 2, 3, 4 and 5) is a steal at 50$/€. That's 10 years of content you can catch up to. Even full price I'd say worth it, if you're looking for a casual-friendly MMO with enough content to keep you entertained for a long time.

Another rec for GW2. I'd recommend you try the F2P game so you get a general sense of the mechanics and see if you like it, then wait for a sale to buy the "Elder Dragon Saga—Complete Collection" for half-price. I mean, there's enough content for it to be worth 100 bucks, but for 50 it's a bargain.

Not 100% but 99.9%... IIRC Guild Wars 2 servers had like 1 actual outage in 11 years. They have pretty amazing structure.

How do people still live without uBlock Origin is beyond me.

I notice this 6 days later, my bad, but the title of your article also changed.

Actual title is: "Israel presses ground offensive in southern Gaza, air strikes intensify"

I get that we don't want to increase healthcare costs more, but the working conditions of our public health service are dramatic and should have been improved 20 years ago.

We need a profound reform of the system, because healthcare workers should deserve 40 hour weeks like the rest of us, and doctors should be able to get enough operating hours to get their degree without having to work 70 hour weeks for a literal decade. It's insane.

The other big reason which isn't covered is privacy (in protests for example)...

But thanks for finding the law, you saved me some time. I'll just add the equivalent text in the Constitutition

3 The law shall provide for exceptions. These may only be justified on the grounds of health, safety, weather conditions or local custom.
