So if the tip is sticking out for airflow, how does it handle a flash flood?

That checks out. Exactly what I'd expect from a devout Christian.

Spacewar is the app ID for testing Steamworks integration without having an app ID yet.

Not providing this anecdote as a rebuttal, just as food for thought since I've barely seen anyone mention this.

I have put a lot of thought into my sexuality/identity, but regardless of all of those thoughts my articulation will boil down to:

I want bio kids, until we can modify the genetic material of eggs/sperm so that two people of the same biological gender can have a biological child, my only option is someone with the opposite reproductive organs.

It doesn't matter how much I am attracted to someone, I won't roll loaded dice on having kids. If my partner and I discovered when we finally try to have kids that one or both of us is sterile, then so be it — but I'd like the dice we roll to not have a known outcome ahead of time.

Not looking for a partner anymore anyway, but the first one is my only reason. If we got to a point medically/scientifically where bio kids were possible then that sole reason would go away.

I'm fine ending up with no kids because I and/or my partner are infertile and we don't know yet, but I'm not fine starting a relationship wanting something that the other person knows I can't have with them and not telling me until later.

Honestly I think it would be helpful if the dating apps just had some hidden questions like "are you interested in having kids?" and if yes also asked "do you want biological kids?" and if you answer them your potential matches are automatically filtered down. I have two rationales for this, 1. because it frees up space in bio and keeps your preferences semi-private, and 2. it avoids potentially awkward conversations or other potentially awkward public judgemental. (I'm guessing there aren't already questions like this.)

Why is a Canadian actor and citizen in one of the photos for a US countdown...?

(Yes I'm referring to Keanu.)

Google still controls the source, and so they have influence over the rest.

It's like Ungoogled Chromium. Sure, it's open source. Sure, if might have Google crap removed. Google still calls the shots on the direction of the browser.

Same still meaningfully applies to Chromium-based browsers.

Unless it's a Java Minecraft server which I believe exclusively uses TCP still.

Not that I'm (seriously) advocating for them to go into a dorm, but these people decide their salaries.

If they were doing their job properly they would have raised it, or better yet they would have established a higher-end apartment-dorm type solution that is paid for by the state and so their paychecks are not used to cover their living expenses in DC (not college freshman standards, more like two bedroom apartments unless they want to pony up part of their paycheck, one for a bed and one for an office).

They're not actually doing either of these things though, so I hardly feel bad.

Well the people who were responsible for calling it in were the people who publicly invited the riot. Would be counterintuitive for Trump & Cronies to put down his own rebellion.

They're not actually advocating for mob rule, mob rule is only acceptable if it's the mob rule that accomplishes what they want.
