As long as it doesnt pass its Hold Time for food safety, and the walk on cooler/freezer is below the foodservice temps, it can be re-served the next day. Probably at a discount or even with a note about messing with the pizza index. As the Index has become more common its more important to have fake days to send (reddit) into a frenzy and begin "predicting an imminent action".
Reddit "predicted" strikes on Iran "totally this weekend" like 2 weeks before it happened based solely on this index. It has value for ongoing operations since staff will do OT for weeks at a time for it, but intermittent spikes while in a ramp up to war aren't gonna be the smoking gun they want it to be.

Dodge Ram truck is illegally parked on Bryant Ave S protected bikelane, Minneapolis.

Fucker is parked left of center too. Other than an obviously "not a parking space" you're supposed to park in the same direction as traffic faces. Always a pickup.

Supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford Has Crossed Into The Mediterranean

Jump

𝔼𝕩𝕦𝕤𝕚𝕒 @lemmy.world 3w ago

I wrote my comment in the assumption that there is no immediately obvious cause of damage.

The assumption a carrier- with more bulkheads/damage control teams/position at the heart of a formation suddenly taking critical damage and/or sinking without any warning of incoming enemy planes/missiles would generate the exact amount of panic it sounds like it should. I suppose I kind of missed that in the original comment.

A nuclear device detonating underneath would generate a great amount of concern from the international community, especially if Iran immediately says "yo that wasn't us"

Without reading an article, but I will assume you mean a magical macguffin weapon just.....sinks it and no one knows what happened. The response depends on a few things.

Without its strike group

Threat assessment will show its defenses were overwelmed by the macguffin weapon. Maybe even conventional missiles - these things aren't invincible.

With Strike Group

The normal Carrier travels with 12-15 destroyers and other auxiliary vessels to provide screening and defense overlapping. If the carrier is struck and damaged/sunk in the center or back of this strike group, without loss of other vessels, an immediate retreat and Threat assessment will be done to see how the macguffin weapon got past everything else. This would be the concern - again Carriers aren't invincible, but how your macguffin got past so much radar would be important and the MAIN focus, if the macguffin did not do it in an immediately obvious way.

Strike Group disabled/sunk

If the entire strike group is damaged/sunk, the entire fleet will pull back to begin assessing risk of the macguffin. Damaging a fair number of ships run by the United States in a short order should be beyond poor nations capabilities, so the macguffiin weapon would necessitate reevaluation. Delay of at least a week to assess where/what the macguffin weapon is, (Assuming its a singular object) and then if the target, say Iran, is able to be struck within a specific loss ratio of troops.

A macguffin weapon like a Deathstar type where it can fire at single target position would give most Threat analysis away and the immediate questions to answer would be 1. How much energy/fuel/ammunition does it cost to fire. (If a broke country can afford a mega laser - how don't I have one?) 2. How does it target (radar can be blocked, is it manually aimed as direct fire/ parabolic like artillery) 3. How can it be avoided (like blocking radar to aim, or like can a physical obstruction block the firing angle. 4. Can it be destroyed (is it susceptible to a strike team on land to sabotage?) 5 Is there more than one.

And the part where they're the same game with a few mons in A or B.

Would be nice if the "rerelease" had them all so you could actually realistically collect them all in an older game without jumping through a bunch of hoops to trade them back and forth. Looking at those trade evos, version exclusives, and Mythic/legendaries that never realistically were available when these were on gba

Spicy cheetos is a white girl meme classic. But they also own Takis - popular with kids like you said. Kids are such a profitable target for a cheap, quick snack food.

Popcorners have been a big hit these past few years.

Sun chips, hilariously pitched as healthy competition against things like doritos do well at the sales pitch.

Found the video Should Games Be Frustrating

First 8 minutes or so are red dead 2, and explain using frustration to funnel the player places or to do things. I found it some years after I played it, but even then he basically called out how I did my playthrough, which was spooky. Means the manipulation worked lol

This was intentional. Micah is antagonistic towards you from the get-go, Dutch begins to turn on you while you start to agree with Arthur (Dutch sounds less reasonable etc) . By the time you get to the island you are meant to be frustrated, tired from trying to "just finish the damn game" and you're stranded with the 4 people you (the player) like the least - right after at least 2 of them bungled the heist in Saint Denis that got you in this mess. All the levels are just shooting gallery type beats to vent your frustration. There was a video on YouTube about emotional manipulation of the player that was a great write-up about this phenomena in RDR2, and why the ending mission American Venom feels so cathartic.

Edit: I actually found it! "Should Games Be Frustrating". The first 8-9 minutes are largely Red Dead 2 and trails.off with that theme of using frustration to funnel player emotion, so I dont think you need to watch the whole thing.

In 1984, it is revealed that the "ministries of" are not ironic nor accidental - they did not become twisted versions of their namesakes. They are so named to intentionally destroy the thing they are named after.
