  He could run again as a placeholders VP, then have the placeholder resign after taking office. This would bypass the can only be “elected” twice rule.

  Yes, there is an amendment that requires a VP to meet the same eligibility requirements as the president that should prevent this, but a corrupt court could rule that since that amendment does not explicitly mention term limits, those do not apply…

  Yes and no. For close friends, family, and long time coworkers. I care that you had a good trip, that mom and baby are healthy, and would not mind a few photos. But that’s it. I don’t need a 500 page travel album or daily baby pics.

  Are you sure about that? Straight courses are used for drag racing.

  My vacation days are capped, but my sick days are not. I’ll take my sick days when I retire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sea of Stars – Throes of the Watchmaker DLC – Indie World Showcase 8.27.2024⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure I even made it 1/10 of the way. I want to like the game but there was just nothing compelling me to continue or to pick it back up. The combat was especially disappointing. They captured the monotony of an rpg button masher without the ability to just zone out or multitask while playing. Also seems way to reliant on the moonerang.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Master of Orion I loved I and II. The third apparently bombed and reboots have failed.

  Sim City I mean the real Sim city as Maxis would have made it. Not a cash grab, not a mobile game, not a “city painter” where any simulation takes a back seat to decorating with DLC assets.

  Super Mario RPG no those other, spiritual successors do not count. They are fine games on their own but not the same.

  Lost in Blue not the fanciest games, but I enjoyed them. There are plenty of modern games in the genre, but I haven’t found one that quite fits…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Locomotion was the official “spiritual” sequel, but I remember that game being horribly disappointing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brian Cox Says Cinema Is In “a Very Bad Way”, Cites Marvel, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’: “It’s Become Party Time”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When going to the movies requires planning the entire day around arbitrary showtimes and inflated runtimes, showing up early on case of lines, spending a small fortune on tickets and an even larger one on snacks, dealing with power tripping teens who threaten to call the cops to kill you…, being forced to watch 20 minutes of commercials before the trailers even start so that by the time the movie begins any popcorn left is cold and mysteriously starting to smell like vomit, then running to the restroom to find half the lights and toilets don’t even work, the movie better be guaranteed to be worth the effort and make full use of the “cinema experience”.

  For me, that means big names in established franchises with lots of action and explosions as pretty much anything else would be better watched at home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming back to a western open world game H:FW after Elden Ring is a massive whiplash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked Gensin Impact for the first few years, but last time I played it, that game was the worst example of this.

  Teleport to location. Chat with npc for 5 minutes. Teleport to next location. Chat with another npc rehashing the first conversation for 5 minutes. Quick fight with trivial enemies. Teleport back to first npc Chat about random crap, slow walk to another npc, rehash the earlier conversation again, walk back to starting location, receive the most basic of rewards.

  The game is 90% dialog of which very little is relevant or meaningful and none can be skipped. There is an auto advance option for conversations, but so many meaningless dialog prompts (with options are always the same semanticly) that it doesn’t work.

  Of course this is all by design as the real goal is to sell you characters, not play a game.

  Given an infinite number of rooms and guests, it is highly likely both he and the boulder are already there. So he should o to the hotel where he already is and has a room

  Happy comes from hap, which is essentially luck. So happy can imply lucky or fortunate. If he gets to the hotel and finds he already is checked into his room in an otherwise full hotel, then he is indeed lucky and likely happy.

  How many carpenter bees even have a youtube channel. I bet not even one has uploaded a video covering alternatives to the Festool Domino.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Americans measure everything in cups?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cups, teaspoons, and tablespoons in this context are standardized units of measure. It is very common to find at least one set of measuring cups and spoons in a US kitchen. Scales are uncommon.

  I use both. For flour, scales are far, far superior. For sugar, it does not really seem to matter. For small amounts, I suspect my tea/tablespoons might be more accurate than my scale…

  Not that accuracy matters that much in a recipe using eggs. Chickens aren’t necessarily known for precision.

  D… do you really want to call the police then tell them you are carrying a gun? Better to put the gun somewhere secure then tell the police where it is and let them handle it with no staff around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Palworld Update Includes First Raid Boss, Pal And Base Changes, And More⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dumud can now produce High-Quality Pal Oil at the ranch

  This is huge. One of the main reasons I dropped the game was the constant need to run laps through a desert farming the things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many times will I tell you?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That makes sense. I guess I’m the opposite. I have a habit of scrutinizing every toilet I sit on because I don’t trust placing the delicate bits over random holes…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many times will I tell you?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never understood this… are people just blindly launching their butts at toilets? Are the lights off? Is alcohol involved?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Physical or Digital?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they even make physical PC games anymore? Last ones I bought were either discs that immediately downloaded an updated copy of the whole game, or the box just contained a download code.

  For the switch I buy physical, but it may be the last console where that makes sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon pricing makes no sense.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just yesterday I discovered the prices change depending on whether or not I’m logged in. Supposedly this only happens when there are multiple sellers and Amazon favors the ones that honor prime… but I could not find the lower priced seller anywhere when logged in. Now I’m wondering if prime actually increases shipping costs because vendors just raise their overall prices to cover it… very, very close to dropping prime this year.
