My understanding of the joke is less about tables, more about pontification; I.e. "it is so because we say it is".

The system would also work in the UK the past few years.

⨂︎ and ⌽︎ not getting the love they deserve.

Ah. An EEE move by Sony? Embrace (Steam), Extend (add PSN requirement), Extinguish (bye Steam).

With the 5 Eyes agreement, the they're one and the same.

Bear in mind that "free speech" just means you can't be arrested for what you say.

When someone's talk is being boycotted or - in this case - refused entry to a region, their free speech rights aren't being infringed.

That said, I (and the French, it seems) agree with your sentiment, this is totally an appalling move by Germany.

Coming from No Man's Sky with its six(?) ground vehicles, Starfield was a painful slog.. Not to mention all the forced animations and loading screens.

This actually got a good laugh out of me. I have a toddler, and I can see what you did totally made sense in your mind, and that it was dad's fault for not being specific enough with the instructions.

Egyptians didn't have cranes

But they did have storks, which are almost as good.

Too be able to sleep every night, on a pillow of money built on labours of people working in near-slavery conditions, you have to be a psychopath.

Also, they removed psychopathy from the DSM?

You know what's funny, the two clients that don't support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.

I say sod them and go back to your dropdown.

He invented many words! Thagomizer being the most iconic. RIP Thag.

Look up "Stanford marshmallow experiment".

Hahahah. I don't know how my sleep-deprived brain got to "I am Bob".

Yeah, audio isn't my preferred medium, but since I now commute by car instead of public transport, it's the only viable means of book consumption for me. It's unfortunate because a bad narrator can turn me off of an otherwise good book.

Sanderson's Skyward series have different narrators on Spotify and Audible. One of them I could not stand for more than 5 minutes. The other, Sophie Aldred, is a real pleasure to listen to.

Huh, interesting. I am Bob is literally next on my audiobook playlist.

Sigh. As a fan of Sanderson, Abercrombie, and Gibson, I am now compelled to check out your other recommendations. As if I haven't already had an overly long queue of things to read..

It looks like they lifted the ban in the USA too? If you're still keen, do give them a ring.

FYI, in Australia they scrapped the rule a couple years ago and you would've been able to donate now (at least blood, not sure about organs).

Wherever you are, maybe check again if they've relaxed the rule.

I can't stand Rossman's videos; but I respect the hell out of his ideas, principles, and efforts to better the slices of technological life that he cares about.
