I used to game with a guy who spent an absurd amount of money on a d20 made of meteorite.

He probably gave them a membership to the jelly of the month club instead of a Christmas bonus.
Well, the fasces is an ancient Roman symbol.
It was an election season where the race was polling around 50/50 pretty much throughout. Even when one candidate had a lead, with margins of error, no they didn't. A ~50% probability of losing is huge, even if many polls did show her slightly ahead. Consider a 20-sided die. 9 sides are red, 11 are blue. You wouldn't be surprised if you rolled red.
News media has no idea how to talk about polls because they don't want to talk about probability, they want to talk about which number is bigger as if it's a scoreboard. I didn't want him to win, but the polls weren't wrong.
As an Old, I started with an Apple ][ and learned BASIC. We did get the classic B&W Macintosh computers when I was 12-13.
Ah, good. So the corrupt, evil, and greedy tactics of health insurers are finally mitigated to... checks notes oh, to what they were last week.
You know they're sitting on a wish list of awful policies while they're waiting for this to blow over so they can implement them when we aren't looking. Fuck that.
I don't disagree with you. Symphony of the Night is exceptional but Aria and Dawn are so, so good.
True - so it's a bit more like the swamp overflowed and some shit ran out.
Weird, I would expect Steam to be in the Ubuntu repos (assuming that's what you were using, since you mention apt), but maybe not. As for apt, or apt-get, they are just the terminal equivalent of the GUI package manager (synaptic? it's been a minute since I ran ubuntu), so if something isn't in the repos, apt at the terminal won't find it either. If it's not in the repos, you should be able to download and install steam from the website just like you would in windows. It gives you a .deb file which will launch just like an executable installer in Ubuntu. But to your point, yes, sometimes things in linux take a little extra thinking to get to work. Getting accustomed to the way Linux works can help overcome hiccups like this. Windows has many quirks as well, it's just that if you use WIndows often you know your way around them.
Most games on Steam work just fine when you turn on Proton. Gaming on linux has come a long way.
Well, how about that. Trump did drain part of the swamp.
I know you know this and likely just mistyped, but for clarity, the Iliad is about the war itself. The Odyssey is about the dude trying to get back home.
They weren't religious texts per se, but they were certainly cultural touchstones which contain important lessons about the human condition, death, love, and what's truly important in life. They would fill a role similar to histories in the Old Testament, probably, like the book of Ruth.
