Everytime I had a problem, I'd cast Meteor Swarm and boom right away I'd have a different problem.

Russell Brand accused of rape, sexual assaults and abuse

He always struck me as one of those people who wasn't, in his heart of hearts, actually left-wing, but rather just wanted to be counter-cultural. The culture has shifted around him and now if he wants to be counter-cultural it means being alt-right.

Experts, teachers alarmed as India removes evolution, periodic table from textbooks
I can see why certain groups might have an agenda behind removing evolution (even if those reasons are insane), but what possible benefit is there to removing the periodic table???

PvP quest?
From experience you can normally pop in and out without seeing anyone (EU so might be different on other servers). I think you still have to opt in even inside the areas as well.
The only quests I've seen for these areas have been to go to the safe zone towns on the edge, so if its one of those then you're definitely safe.

Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It? (new June 2023 release)
Reply in thread
Even if you work in permissive langauges like Java, if you start from the position of "this code will need to be thread safe", its still not hard to do. The problem I've seen with more permsissive languages is that external libraries have bad systems built in and even if the code you write is threadsafe the external library csn introduce all sorts of weirdness.
For example in Java, the SimpleDateFormat class which is a fairly standard way of parsing/outputting dates and is the go to example in all number of tutorials is not inherently threadsafe (and that's part of the JDK!). Someone can write sensible stateless code and get tripped up by this.

What bugs the heck out of you at work but doesn't seem to bother your coworkers?

Me: "I don't think this is the right approach, it will cause [problem]"
Them: "No, you don't understand, if we don't do it this way it will cause problems for the client"
[Some time later]
Them: "Mr senior developer, [problem] has happened, you have to help us fix it!"
There's something aggravating about being the go-to person to fix problems and not being trusted enough to have your warnings about upcoming problems he died.

Reddit slowly became filled with hate

I think pure outrage viewers won't switch over yet, the problem is that a lot of people have small outrage watching tendencies and once you hit a large enough overall community size all those little tendencies build up to enough to keep a community alive. Once that happens the pure viewers flood in and it becomes overwhelming.

The Grustrag Three
I believe they spawn semi-randomly once you are marked - it may take a few missions but I don't think it's limited to only that node.

Uber was supposed to help traffic. It didn’t. Robotaxis will be even worse

On the one hand, you are right. On the other hand, will the consumers of robotaxis want to use small cars or will they push for full size ones?

Ash Prime Weak to Toxic in SP?
Toxin will kill you through shield and shield gating (I think Hildryn with overshields is the exception), so if you are relying on shield gating + invis to survive then you will just need to avoid toxin damage.

One thing worth noting is it is easier to fire something out of the solar system than it is to fire it into the Sun. In fact firing something into the Sun might actually be impossible with our current technology!

The more restrictive your democracy (countrywide PR system < FPTP marginal constituencies < Conservative party members) the wackier the effects on the people trying to win elections in that democracy.
