CPAP, comes with a cell chip in it to relay data for the Dr to monitor/access. Cell chip stops working after 5 years.
Edit: Realized this could use more clarity. The cell plan for the chip expires after 5 years and cannot be renewed, meaning the entirely functional machine needs to be replaced or the Dr can't properly monitor necessary vitals.
For the awareness of the elderly, 6-7 is starting to evolve, at least locally, into a call and response with the response to a 6-7 hand gesture being 8-9 with a kind of horizontal movement of vertical hands in a similar fashion. I'm unsure how local the trend is, it's true origin, or if it will spread.
It's interesting that to those not initiated into the call and response by peers will see knowledgeable non-peers providing the response as mocking or failing to understand the meme, thus further cementing it's role as a tool as an in joke to the 6-7'er, despite them now being on the outside of the evolution of the joke, which is a wonderful contradiction.
This guy was working for them and did all this before the standards got lowered and the expectations for intimidation and violence were increased, so I'm not sure I can even imagine the sheer horrors currently happening that we only might find out in a few years.
Having never used OF, I assumed it was a pay to access content model, I guess they additionally allow tipping, which isn't a surprise, I assume there's also a pay for specific content creation model. But what I don't know is if the tipping, while linked to a creator, is linked to a specific piece of content. If it isn't, wouldn't a creator with any amount of mixed content be hard to evaluate? You couldn't prove the tipping was related to an excluded category in that case.
Once Upon a Galaxy has been my default game since I first played it.
It's an asynchronous alternating activation autobattler (like Arcane Rush, or Storybook Brawl/Hearthstone Battlegrounds but you play against ghosts). Games take about 10-15 minutes.
It's largely public domain fantasy themed, but has been expanding into the "legally distinct" cultural references as they add content, basically every captain/unit/treasure is a reference.
The shop mechanic is simplified, there's no currency, you just get a set of choices, and can pick 1. You get two shops per round by default, lots of ways to get extra.
Asynchronous play means that you face challenging opponents that naturally evolve with the meta game but you can also take time to make thoughtful decisions.
The draft pool for the shop has a large base pool that you add to by selecting a custom sebset from a second large pool as your captain's deck. The progression is through unlocking cards for each captain's secondary pool, and unlocking new captains. You can naturally earn all cards through play, most captains are free, new captains are paywalled for a limited time.
Monetization is through 3 paths: cosmetics, acceleration of card unlocks, access to paywalled captains. I haven't found it to be particularly exploitative or negative feeling.
My only gripe is minor, that it doesn't have mid-run save/resume, but that is on their road map.
There is essentially no story, if that matters to you.
If it's not obvious, I'm really enthusiastic about this game. I'm not affiliated/sponsored in any way. Happy to answer any questions.
It sounds very infrastructure/trade based than politics, so I'd stay away from nation/country terms. Regional Planning would be a generic term for the infrastructure piece, could use Commerce if trade is important. >
I've come to view tolerance not as a default position, but rather as a contract which people are defaulted into, if you're breaking it by refusing to be bound by it, you're no longer protected by it either.
I'll leave guilt up to the jury, but people really need to read the article, though it could really use more details. There's a possibility of this actually being a nothing burger. Their family business received a COVID relief payment from FEMA, article says it was for $5M too much (doesn't say if it was more than they requested or just more than FEMA meant to send), portions of that money were paid to family members (unclear if they worked at the family business) and those family members also donated to her campaign (timeline is unclear, obviously faster movement would be more suspicious, but if these are well separated, not as much).
If they're disagreeing about objective reality, 0/10. If we can't agree on an objective level, there's no point.
If they're disagreeing about following the social contract of tolerance, -10/10. They break the contract, they aren't covered by it, they should be removed with prejudice.
If they're disagreeing about the value of certain concepts, solutions or programs, 3/10? I'd talk to someone about something for a little while, I might give them a reference, but it's not my job to educate them.
Of course just talking to people, I'm like a 5/10 in general...
You could get away with a Starship Troopers Star Trek Terran Empire series literally forever, The Colbert Report ran 11 seasons and people still think it existed to balance out the liberal bias of The Daily Show.
An Open World is only too big if it requires loading screens at transition points that aren't natural. An Open World can have an insufficient density of relevant content, where exploring it has too little marginal utility to the player, and therefore it is ultimately not useful to exist.
Not to take any rightful criticism off of DOGE, but ATCs just have never properly recovered from Reagan getting pissy, and are still just not properly equipped.
