You can't take other pieces when moving from a green square. On this board only the black and yellow squares are live - the green squares are out of play. Useful to rest and feed the horses if you can get to them.

For reference in not aware of any ISP providing data caps in the UK, except for mobile plans.

I would think these are people trolling the request. Good on them

Is it really childish to quote what someone else said and question it? Seems like quite an overreaction on your behalf to be honest.

The modlog is a great feature. Thank you for sharing

When it happens to me, which I will add is not often, I justify it to myself by thinking that the cars would have required to stop whether I waited for the green man or not. Once you press the button it sets in motion a chain of events that the as of that moment unaware drivers are subject to. The fact that a gap then presented itself and allowed you to cross is inconsqunetial to those drivers.

If anyone is to blame it's the makers of the button that don't give it a recall.

In many ways that line of thinking is paralleled in how the world has justified disregarding the Kyoto protocol and how we find ourselves in the current state of affairs. Maybe that is why the crossing button is so absolute and final, who knows.

That's very interesting, thank you for highlighting this. Edit: how are you seeing the bans? The link seems to be to a website sales platform.

I am very interested to see the justification for that ban - it seems extremely heavy handed.

For me, the exact same heavy handed, take it or leave it, attitude of the reddit admins is exactly what made me decide to leave that platform and come here instead.

The mod note is not encouraging.

I assume you're from NZ. Only the All Blacks have the luxury of thinking that Beauden has wasted his potential.

He's a well rounded world class player to everyone else. So are both of his brothers. Truly a nation blessed for Rugby.

I gave up but have gone back for the niche subs. In particular there is a fairly active and funny one for rugby union that just doesn't exist elsewhere unfortunately

Boost still works. You need to make yourself a mod - to do that make a subreddit on desktop. There is a Vanced patch as well which I have used, but as far as I am aware it's not required.

I cannot work out what the benefit is to them of doing this.

Someone somewhere has paid for those awards. Is it because you can get gifted premium and not pay for it yourself?

It's like the company had a collective aneurysm.

It's like that riddle with the fox and the rabbit and the cabbage that have a boat that can only hold two of them and ilthey need to get across a river without eating eachother on the boat. Or something.

Unfortunately I failed at step 1 by coming on a bus. Still need to get the trolley on the bus to go home, to get the coin, back on the bus and move on to step 2. There is no other way.

 

Any suggestions on getting it onto the bus?

 

I cannot convey how happy it makes me that we are going to get Boost for Lemmy. This morning I woke up and fully expected Reddit to be dead to me with the closing of Boost.

To my surprise it's working as normal. Is anyone else getting that, or know how or why that's happened?
