Yup, it's interesting how so many of these universal ID for voting laws don't also include an easy, convenient, and free means for all citizens to get IDs.
Do you have an issue with roofers protecting themselves? /s
Indeed, folks need to get involved at the local level and primaries.
For those that complain about the first past the post voting, Alaska managed to pass ranked choice voting:
https://apnews.com/article/alaska-ranked-choice-voting-5ae6c163af2f8a70a8f90928267c4086
If you hate FPTP and the choices it gives you, don't just sit out the election, that's an inherent vote for the person you like the least. You can try to back a similar ranked choice measure in your state:
They also included in the ruling that:
"Chief Justice Roberts determines that “official conduct,” which garners presumptive immunity under the Court’s framework, may not be used as evidence of other crimes when prosecuting former presidents."
https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-supreme-court-s-presidential-immunity-decision
My understanding, a president having an "official" meeting with his staff regarding commiting a crime that falls outside of his normal presidential duties is no longer admissible as evidence for the criminal act.

Primitive technology guy is making strides!
Yeah, quite a few people on this 3 year old reddit post talk about that experience:
https://old.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/p86sjw/a_warning_for_people_considering_donefirst_for/
Done (DoneFirst), also charged an initial $200, then $79 a month though more current reviews mention $90 a month.
The comments on that thread are enlightening.
This may actually make the medications more available for those who are not patients of "Done Global, Inc" which was a telehealth company that specializes in ADHD.
But those who are patients of Done Global Inc are going to have a hell of a time finding a different doctor and getting back on their meds.
Major pharmacies like CVS Health and Walmart have stopped filling prescriptions from Done
I couldn't find the specific regulation they violated, but reading this and from the vague description, my best guess that they may have been playing loose with "establishing a patient relationship" and doing thorough evaluations of patients to ensure they had ADHD (and possibly skipping alternative lower Schedule medications).
Edit: From the DEA announcement
In many cases, Done Global prescribed ADHD medications when they were not medically necessary.
When I think of "stuffing" I think of people creating wholly illegitimate ballots, which does not seem to be what happened here.
That's exactly what ballot stuffing is and why what these folks are charged with is not ballot stuffing:
https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_stuffing
Ballot stuffing or ballot box stuffing is a form of electoral fraud in which a greater number of ballots are cast than the number of people who legitimately voted. The term refers generally to the act of casting illegal votes or submitting more than one ballot per voter when only one ballot per voter is permitted.[1]
If the absentee ballots they handled were either fabricated or if the voters they were from already voted, then yes it would be "ballot stuffing" but I didn't see that in the article. Just "mishandling".
Still best that absentee ballots are handled properly as to show the voter hasn't voted in person.
My ear canals are very sensitive. They're stainless steel. Took a bullet at Corregidor, 1945. Passed straight through my head from one ear to the other. Here look at this.

Edit:
it doesn't make you a martyr to barely break even, it still makes you a parasite.
Seeing the same thing here. Apparently I'm scum because I'm renting my previous home for -10%/+10% of: mortgage on the lower price I paid 10 years ago, plus property taxes, plus home owners insurance, plus repairs and maintenance.
Apparently I would no longer be scum if I stopped renting it and refused to renew my tenants lease, sold the house and made a huge profit now, and the next person will have to pay brand new closing costs plus a mortgage on double the home value and double the APR.
I'm guessing most folks down-voting the sane responses saying rentals aren't needed have never tried selling a house (and gone 6+ months paying the mortgage for a house you no longer live in) or don't know there's a "break even" calculation that tells you how many years you have to live in the same house before you're better off than having just rented (realtor fees to sell the house, closing costs, time to sell the home where you'll still be paying your mortgage + taxes + insurance, time to close, getting credit approval for a mortgage, etc).
Hell, I did the calculation when I had to move to a new state and I was able to rent a house for less than it would have cost me to pay for closing costs and realtor fees when I would have sold the house 3 years later. Not to mention the time to come up with 20% down payment.
But fuck me for not taking the easy way out, kicking out my tenants and cashing in on the current huge property values to sell my old home.
Yes, let's pretend that housing prices haven't gone up (lumber shortage, pandemic, what are those things?!)
And let's live in a world where interest rates haven't changed in the same time period (2.75% APR should be about the same as a 7% APR mortgage!).
Lastly, let's ignore closing costs and the huge hunk of money realtors, banks, title companies, surveyors, and so on make every time a home is sold.
The main issue folks have with those generic "fuck all landlords!" posts is that while yes, corporate landlords that monopolize housing and keep raising rents in lockstep and invent fees suck ass, there's also folks who found it easier to rent right away vs keeping an empty house on the market. Those landlords are paying a 10 year old mortgage with 10 year old lower interest rates, but 2024 property taxes and home insurance.
10 year old mortgage for a home at 2014 prices + current property taxes and insurance + 10% profit margin (the horror) << Brand new mortgage on the same home at 2024 prices and 2024 APR + insurance and property taxes.
Oh and I forgot about mortgage insurance. The person renting their home likely has gotten their mortgage below the cutoff for requiring mortgage insurance.
There are many situations where both the person renting their home and the renter come out way ahead.
The only ones who win by forcing everyone to sell their homes and no longer rent are the banks (more closing costs, prey on folks who aren't ready to buy a home with high APRs and mortgage insurance, get to close out low APR loans for new higher APR loans), real estate agents and everyone that gets a cut Everytime a home is bought and sold.
That said there is something that can be done for the big investment groups that are buying up homes to jack up prices and corner local rental markets.
Buying house for say 100k at 3% APR, renting it because you were laid off and cant afford moving expenses, rent in a different city, plus paying a mortgage on an empty house for 6 months to a year while it sells. Then years later you still keep it because, while you could sell it and cash in, with the low APR you got on it you can afford to rent it for less than the corporate scum suckers who try to monopolize housing = Parasite
Kicking out your renters and selling said house you bought at 100k for 200k to corporate scum suckers who will turn around and sell it at an even higher price or rent it at really high rates OR someone else who will end up paying way more than the rent I was asking for the place because interest rates are about double and the house has also doubled in price = internet hero
No room for nuance, got it.
If they can go back in time and get the same APR and buy the house for the same price...
Are we talking about eliminating renting altogether?
Cause that is what it sounds like in this thread. Folks wanting to completely eliminate renting and drive folks to buy a house Everytime they move.
This ignores things like closing costs, realtor fees, really high property taxes, expensive home repairs, and temporary work assignments.
Maybe you really need a job but don't want to straight up buy a house and instead rent something until you can find a job back in your local area or you decide it's time to take the plunge and move for good.
Sure there are many a-hole companies and landlords that try to squeeze their tenants for every dime and treat their tenants like crap (lord knows I've run into those), but on the other hand there are folks who need a place to live but haven't decided where they want to settle down and people who can rent their old property at a decent date based on the low interest they themselves were able to lock down.
Some are folks (like me) who moved but couldn't afford to keep their house empty for an extended period of time to put it on sale while they're paying rent or a mortgage in another state. So renting, even if you're barely breaking even, makes sense.
Better to rent your old house for barely above the costs for the property taxes, homeowners insurance, and mortgage interest, and maintenance costs than to take a 6-12 month hit where you have to pay the above while not living in the house because your new job is in a different state. And that is if you sell in 12 months and don't take a big hit on the sale.
If you're buying/selling a house every 3 years then you're really going to get screwed. I personally went from living in a home I owned (and paying a mortgage on) to renting for 3 years just to understand where I wanted to live in a new state, which areas had the best employers, and wait out on a low APR and decent buyers market.
If I had to buy a house instead of having the option to rent, then I would have ended up buying a house near that employer which would have been over an hour commute from the better job offers I got after I moved here.
Do a search for you server OS + STIG
Then, for each service you're hosting on that server, do a search for:
Service/Program name + STIG/Benchmark
There's tons of work already done by the vendors in conjunction with the DoD (and CIS) to create lists of potential vulnerable settings that can be corrected before deploying the server.
Along with this, you can usually find scripts and/or Ansible playbooks that will do most of the hardening for you. Though it's a good Idea to understand what you do and do not need done.
Figured it would be a good idea to collect known issues in one place:
- Dedicated servers with mods to enable more than 15 pals per base can have pals 16+ assigned to a base deleted Source
- For the above, I would have dedicated servers with such mods hold off on 1.5.1 until players get a chance to put all their base pals back in their palbox and/or update their worldoptions.sav file with the correct max pals: Website to create a custom worldoption.sav Local run version or better yet set the max number of workers in PalWorldSettings.ini then use this tool to create a new worldoptions.sav file.
- Servers that are using a custom WorldOption.sav to increase the Base worker limit may be spared from this issue.
- "Deleted" pals may be in spheres above the vicinity of the Palbox.
- Pre patch incubators will not work (will only accept/store small pal souls)
- Destroying and rebuilding the incubator seems to fix this.
- The Pal Info mod (and likely any mod that shows Pal info) conflicts with 2.0.6 and as such should be disabled until the mod author can update the mod for 2.0.6
- Players with UE4SS installed get a blank screen when trying to start the game and log in.
- Go to Palworld/Binaries/Win64/Mods/ edit mods.txt to change BPModLoaderMod from 1 to 0.
- Note, UE4SS Blueprint type mods will not work with the fix above but at least you'll be able to log into the game Credit
- Dedicated servers may fail to launch
- The server executables have new names.
- Make sure your scripts point to the new server names (old ones had -test at the end, new ones are -release I believe)
- If you're using any firewall rules that point to a specific name for the dedicated server process, it'll need to be updated to the new binary name.

Increase Pal Storage
-
Shut down the server
-
Make a backup of your local or server save file (level.sav) and the player files just in case.
-
Download the python utility below:
https://github.com/touchfluffytails/Palworld-Palbox-Slot-Injector
- Download "PalWorld Save Tools"
https://github.com/cheahjs/palworld-save-tools/
- Run the command on the save file (you did back it up, right?)
inject_box_slots.cmd
(select 17-64 pages, 30 pals per page)
- Start the server back up
And that's it, you can skip the rest of the listed steps in the tool pages, why?
Just running the tool against your save file, you will be able to see and interact with the additional storage in the Pal and Black Market merchant "sell pal" screen.
The extra steps that are listed in the tool's page (UE4SS, injector, download and install the "Bigger and Better Palbox" mod on the server and for each client, etc will only do two things if you get them all to work:
- The extra slots (pages 17+) will be visible in the PalBox
- New players will automatically have their save data adjusted to give them the extra slots.
If you just want the extra storage with the caveat that it can only be seen, reorganized and pals on pages 17+ moved to pages 1-16 at a pal or black market merchant, then you only need my 5 steps above and it only needs to be done once on the server (and again if any new players join to give them the extra slots).
No additional mods needed and the players connecting to the server won't have to do anything else.
I submitted a request in the official PocketPair PalWorld discord "ideas-and-wishes" channel to implement the UI from the pal vendors (when selling) in the Condenser. If they implement that idea, then with just the modified save file you would be able to condense the pals you have on pages 17-64 without visiting a Pal Merchant to move them to pages 1-16 first.

Adding bases
This one is simple:
- Download "Duck's Progressive Bases"
https://www.curseforge.com/palworld/patch-pak-mods/ducks-progressive-bases/files/5059584
-
On the Server create a "~mods" folder (no quotes) in the Pal/Content/Paks folder
-
Put the pak file from zip you downloaded in that folder
-
Do the same for each client that will connect to the server.
-
Restart the server!
Other mods
Pretty much any mod that comes as a .pak and does not need UE4SS can be installed easily on a Linux Pal server.
Server Only Mods:
These mods only need to be installed on the server (change backend stuff like loot drops)
- Gear Progression
Client Only Mods
These change UI items that don't require coordination with the server
- Pal IVs (shows the pal inherent stats) Requires UE4SS installed
Server and Client Mods
These make changes that the server has to "allow" and the clients have to be aware of:
- Duck's Progressive bases (if installed on the server only, the players won't see the option to build more than 3 bases).
I'll add more to this list as I test out and find more mods.
The Ukrainians claim they've shot down 10 Su-34s in 11 days.

Polygon presents an interview excerpt from Read-Only Memory’s Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works book.
In late 2014, publisher Read-Only Memory released Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works, a history book covering the hardware, games and legacy of Sega's 16-Bit system. Featuring console diagrams and translated design documents, it serves as part art book, part history lesson and part interview collection. And you can read one of those interviews below. Read-Only Memory has provided Polygon with an excerpt — an interview with product designer Masami Ishikawa on how the hardware came about.
