Western style d6. 5 pips on each side. Why? Where did it come from?

  • Magic tricks, for example.

    Apparently they’re called Forcing Dice; obviously they sell different ones but the concept is the same.

    Obviously these dice will not stand close scrutiny so they are most effective when used sparingly, substituted for a regular die at a critical moment.

    Very useful to magicians who need to force a specific number as part of a trick, or as part of a humorous routine.

    • International Criminal Court opening war crimes case against Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony

    Jump

  • No.

    We don’t exactly care because his army has dwindled enough that he’s no longer a threat to Uganda. He was indicted for war crimes in 2005 and has evaded capture since.

    According to Wikipedia, he might have been in Darfur in 2022 but there’s no further source for that.

  • The town aspect seems fun and looks really nice in the preview images!

    It reminds me vaguely of Bravely Default’s town system, which was cool as well.

  • The Walgreens fine was $350 million, which likely wouldn’t have affected them too badly if they weren’t already struggling. CVS’s agreement was $4.9 billion.

    Walgreens has been failing for a few years now because they over-expanded and a lot of their stores weren’t profitable. They have been closing stores and threatening to close stores since the COVID lockdowns.

  • I moved and it no longer worked for my purposes!

  • I kind of think it gives it character.

    But I also did something quite similar several years ago for my own pans! It worked great for years.

    • Romhacker colorizes all Final Fantasy branded games for the original Game Boy

  • Whoa, that’s very cool! I had The Final Fantasy Legend for the original Game Boy.

    It’s cool to see some color added to the original graphics!

  • They did this in San Francisco several years ago as well! It was a neat proof of concept but it didn’t stick around super long.

    • Grocery Segregation

    Jump

  • Yep, in my experience leaving a bunch of space on the belt can sometimes cause confusion if the cashier gets distracted!

    So it’s just kind of polite to use it so everyone isn’t relying on implicit cues.

  • I’ve actually been using it for a month (replacing regular Firefox) and I like it! It was funny to see it listed, because it is a ridiculous name.
