He is above the law. How many other convicted felons receive no penalty?

If it’s a “magic remover” that would be a very powerful item. Boss has a magic sword? Touch it and now it’s not!

Additionally, assuming the ring anti-magic field extends in all directions, the first shot would blow the end of the rifle off with the ring flying somewhere.

Also, do magic items retain their magical properties after leaving the feild? If so, it’s still a pea shooter.

Indy 5 felt like an Indy film, which was really nice. My only 2 notes for them to work on would be 1) more practical effects, avoid CGI except for the “supernatural” scene and 2) I appreciate they used the practical effects of speeding up playback for the tuk tuk chase, but it felt too sped up, almost campy.

Overall though, after seeing 4 in a midnight showing and it being the movie that caused me to never go to another midnight showing, 5 was excellent!

that putting the thermostat up higher will heat the house up quicker

If you have a 2 stage furnace, this may actually be a thing.

I am very pro geo thermal. Been following Quaise drilling for a long time. The biggest downside to geothermal is that in the process of running water up and down, the water can come up with some green house gases, generally sulfur based compounds. Overall, not nearly as bad as the current options, but it’s not like geo thermal is perfectly green. We should still consider it over any fossil fuel and possibly nuclear.

Byline from the article:

The legendary comedian died from cancer at age 70 in July 2023

Actually it’s by design! Right side is for the lower ports, that’s why there’s the number with an arrow above it.

But if the game doesn’t take 5 minutes to load when am I supposed to say goodbye to my family and grab the last thing I am going to drink that day?

To build on your comment: cost of living has a surprisingly fixed price. Different qualities of living don’t cost massively different. If the average person has to spend their whole earnings on living an “average life”, if you make 2x and want to live twice as nice of a life, it likely only cost 1.5x the “average life”. Earning 2-3x opens up a lot of luxury even though it may not seem like it.

 

About to jump planets, what should I be taking along? Also is there anything I should make sure is done on the OG planet before leaving for a bit?

 

Love the app and love the work you are doing on it! Thanks a bunch! I am running into one minor issue:

Right now if you block a community, then search for the community, it shows, but it will appear that there are no post in the community.

Ideally, if I am accessing a community from the search, even if I have blocked it, I would still like to see the post in it rather than having to unblock it.

For example, I almost exclusively use “All” and “Home”, in “All” political subreddits can get over bearing so I blocked it, but when I want to go look at the community in light of recent events, they all show as blank.

Ideally I would love a warning on the search page that I have blocked the community, but clicking into it will still show me all the post of the community.
