Lingua franca has nothing to do with French.

My ISP would give you like 10 MB to build a personal website. You’d log in to the FTP server, and it would take you to your personal directory. From there, you could “cd …” and end up in the parent directory and access everybody’s data.

They’re neat.

How is there a shadow there if there’s no inside to cast a shadow on? I’m confused.

Use a bread knife for tomatoes.

My bank has “removed” the mobile version of the banking website. It’s technically still there, so it can still be used, but you need to know the full address for it or keep it bookmarked. The main page’s link to the mobile banking page now takes you to another page that tells you it no longer exists and to use the app instead.

What about locust pepperoni? Cause that was the option that I had.

Of course they do. They believe in Republican government. Any government that doesn’t advance their goals, though…

Woman: My child! Please save my child!
Geralt: Care for a game of Gwent?
Woman: nod

First of all, opportunities are positive events, not things that one dreads. Calling the death of 16 people an opportunity to advance the goals of your church is sick.

Second, fuck religion. I don’t hate people who are duped into them. I hate the people doing the duping. I don’t care about Joe Schmoe who goes to church on Sunday, but I hate the priest who touches children and rants to his congregation about sin and going to Hell.

Sure, and he can probably benchpress a car, and run a marathon, and Limbo with the best of them.

Hmm… and you say it only transports matter?

It’s the defence’s job to argue that chain of custody was broken and that the evidence is sketchy at best and sow doubt in its validity. The gun was found in his bag, after the initial search, after the cop had brought the bag to the police station. Not on his person at the time of arrest. There’s definitely reasonable doubt there. That’s a significant piece of evidence that they may be able to paint as unreliable.

“There’s a lot of people hurting. A lot of people who are crying a lot of tears,” he said. “We are sad that our community is going through this, but it’s a tremendous opportunity for the church to minister to a lot of those people today.”

That’s such a sick statement to make. Truly disgusting.

I’ve definitely played through the game multiple times in a row on just those three lives. You gain more lives at certain score levels anyway. If you play through the entire game without dying, you’ll have around 10 lives left. And if you sit through the credits, the game continues from the beginning, only it gets harder after every loop. After 4 or 5 consecutive runs, the basic enemies that usually just run and jump actually start shooting at you.

Bonk’s Adventure for PC Engine/Turbo Grafx 16 was the game that sold that console. It’s brightly colored, has fun graphics and large sprites, and easy to pick up. It’s pretty easy, and not very long, but it’s quite fun. Also since the controllers on that console had a built-in switch to enable turbo on the buttons, the game is built with that in mind. The sequels were released after 1990, but are also quite fun and each add something to the previous games.

NES Contra is spot on for controls. Just picking it up for the first time, it’s so responsive and the movement feels good pretty much immediately. The arcade version of the game had weird jumping movement that feels clunky, but the NES version just feels so much better. It’s also not as hard as its reputation makes it out to be.

Before calling Canada Post’s union corrupt, have you ever looked at what their demands are? Because pretty much everything they’re asking for is super reasonable, and Canada Post refuses to budge because they know that they’re considered an essential service and the government will eventually step in to force a return to work. They’ve gotten no concessions in last year’s strike or since then.

Never mind the fact that Canada Post is a service by definition and shouldn’t be driven by profits.

Yes, but many Americans don’t know that. The name is Spanish. Hell, so many Americans don’t realize that New Mexico is a state in their own country.

Not that kind of swallow
