  Fair, Satisfactory is a lot heavier on the hardware for sure. But it’s a first person 3D game with a much bigger emphasis on beauty.

  To each their own though. They’re both interesting games.

  Strong recommend for Satisfactory. It’s first person factorio but in a beautiful world that isn’t all brown.

  Personally I think it’s better.

  Back in the days of windows xp and Alcohol 120% it didn’t. I remember having like 12 virtual disk drives each with an independent iso just to avoid swapping disks.

  If you actually read the article it seems pretty factual. It lists Bush’s claims and then has a response. Seems to merit the rating.

  The reporting of the Bush administration’s position and the response seems fair.

  **IRAQ:**
  
  STATUS: Since 1998, the Iraqi government has barred U.N. weapons inspectors from examining sites where some suspect that nuclear, chemical or biological weapons are made and stored. The United Nations has said it will lift sanctions against the Middle Eastern country -- in place since Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and the ensuing Gulf War in 1991 -- only if inspectors can verify that Iraq has dismantled all its weapons of mass destruction. In an editorial this month in a state-run newspaper, Iraq again denied it has or is developing such weapons.
  
  RESPONSE TO BUSH'S SPEECH: "This statement of President Bush is stupid and a statement that does not befit the leader of the biggest state in the world," Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan said Wednesday.

  You’re not wrong. NIV is very generic. Lol.

  The thing that stands out to me in the translation you have is making idles to yourself. Instead of for yourself. That and using the term Jehovah. Those to me are major pointers to using the NWT, which among the Christian diaspora is seen as less reputable.

  I’m a secular person now but as a formally very religious person I know a bad Bible translation when I see it.

  Assuming you a referring to Leviticus 26:1 a better translation from the NIV is:

  Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the LORD your God.

  Given this I can see how Catholics can justify having statues and art and the like.

  In case you don’t like the NIV here is a meta comparison.

  That’s a a bit of an unfair characterization.

  Never letting your child be indoctrinated or abused or harmed isn’t a bad thing at all.

  Ugh. What did he say?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the next "grown up game" now that Minecraft only goes for children?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Slightly off topic here, but the most “grown up” way to play “grown up” games is to just play what you want and not care about what people think.

  If you like Minecraft stick with it. Or just play any other games you enjoy. Only kids care what their peers think of the games they play.

  Probably listing bots that scrape eBay to decide what price to set. It can lead to some pretty interesting results.
