Ah you're right, my brain somehow glossed over that detail!

Landlines are easy to tap into, unfortunately.

Smartphones come with their own security concerns but it allows things like E2E encrypted VOIP to exist, at least.

Caught me before I was able to edit! I thought about it for a second and decided that estimate was too high.

10 people is what I would usually say is a normal amount, maybe variable depending on how hungry people arrive and if there are any other dishes to snack on at whatever hypothetical party this is.

I can only eat 3-4 slices at most before I get full, but my appetite isn't the biggest.

Usually what ends up happening is that I still order a party pizza for a group of 5 or so people and then end up with leftovers for a few days. Just can't beat the surface-to-crust ratio.

A party pizza is basically what it sounds like, a pizza meant to feed a party of 10 or more people.

They usually look like this, a large rectangle cut into squares. Each square is about the width of your palm between your wrist and your fingers.

For just a bit more context. NYC currently requires that all new buildings must incorporate bird-safe glass, but has not made any moves to address what should happen with all of the existing buildings.

Birds see reflections of the sky or plants, or maybe they see someone's plants inside through the glass, and they think the window is somewhere they can fly through or land on and end up smacking into it at full speed. The bird safe glass adds patterns to windows which are visible to birds and lets them know it's not something they can fly through, though it isn't a perfect solution.

Tragically, even when they may be stunned at first and fly away shortly after, most birds that hit windows will still later die of their injuries.

I believe they prefer to be called Shrekia now, actually.

I mean it's just the cake equivalent of a party pizza. It's not made any differently than any other sponge cake, it just uses a larger square sheet to bake in than smaller round cake pans.

Most third-party Lemmy apps other than Jerboa contain some form of keyword filtering. Boost, Sync, Voyager, Eternity, and more. Mlem as well if you expand to iOS.

Sadly though I don't think any of the popular desktop frontends support filtering. I don't see it in Alexandrite, and I checked Photon and mlmym as well and also see nothing indicating that is a possibility.

Fat, sugar, and salt are also "nutritious," insomuch as they are components needed for survival. Too nutritious is probably a better way of looking at it. It's a meaningless buzzword.

Fun to think about, but I can promise that Trump will never see consequences for his actions. Everything just miraculously slides right off of him.

Most horrific scene in Jojo Rabbit.

 

Minor spoilers for the quest "Breaking the Bank" below!

So after going into the archives to look for a certain missing GalBank ship for the Crimson Fleet, there were logs for other missing ships other than the one I was looking for.

Out of all of the options available to check, there was only one ship that had recorded a last known location: the "Supremacy", last known to be near Saturn.

I thought, "Hey now, they must have put a location for this one other ship for a reason, and I bet it would be pretty lucrative if I was the one to find it." Now, with that said, Saturn is a somewhat big area to search, with many moons to boot, and I can't seem to find any other leads.

Just so that I am not spending hours on a wild goose chase, I was curious if this is something that anyone else knows anything about, or if there might be other hints I simply missed?

 

Greetings, all you collectible-thirsty WoLs out there! It's another Moogle Tomestone season again, and you know what that means! ~~Time to run Syrcus Tower 50 more times!~~

While everyone has their preferred method of Moogle Tome acquisition, this is a reminder that now is the best time to get some Rival Wings in as well, and queues are popping every day.

You may be wondering, why Rival Wings when I can just semi-AFK my way through some level 50/60 raids? Well, Rival Wings allows you to kill several birds with one (tome)stone.

  • Rival Wings gets you a full 10 Tomestones for winning and 6 for losing, whereas all of the "easy" raids net you a flat 6.

  • As a PvP game mode, you will earn progress on Series Malmstones, win or lose.

  • You can make progress towards Rival Wings victory achievements for the unique mount rewards.

  • You can work on the GARO rewards as well!

Other reasons to choose Rival Wings over alternatives:

  • Unlike Frontlines where there are 3 teams, Rival Wings only has two, bringing your odds of winning much closer to 50% and making it more efficient for farming.

  • Rival Wings matches are relatively short (usually 10-15 mins, sometimes even less), making them very time efficient versus some of the later raids that can take >30 minutes even on a good run.

  • Not being part of a roulette, joining Rival Wings matches is much rarer when there is no Moogle Tomestone event ongoing.

  • It's FUN!

For more information, I highly recommend checking out the PvP Revival Discord, where you can see which data center for your region is popping that day.

Happy hunting!

Streamed during the 2023 Las Vegas Fanfest, the 78th Letter from the Producer Live covers changes that will be coming in patch 6.5.

As with other X.5 patches, this one will be released in two parts. Patch 6.5 will release in October, prior to the London Fanfest. PvP rebalances, along with the next PvP season, will be coming in patch 6.51, after London Fanfest, to make sure the Crystalline Conflict Regional Championship for Europe is not impacted. Patch 6.55 will be coming in January after the Japan Fanfest.

 

Lots of juicy new details about new things to come in the upcoming expansion Dawntrail! Many consistent expectations along with some surprises. What parts are you most excited about?

 

The Las Vegas Fanfest, our first of three, will be taking place this Friday! Kicking off with a 1.5 hour long keynote at 10AM PDT, we can expect buckets of new announcements related to patch 6.5 and beyond.

So I'm curious to hear what things people are most looking forward to. What will the next expansion be? Will there be new jobs? Will we finally see female Hrothgar? Will Yoshi-P finally convince the producer of FF16 to let us have a crossover event? Will [insert your job here] ever be balanced in PvP?

Lay your theories, hot takes, and baseless speculations on me!
