You're thinking villager. A villain is a dried seed pod, used as a spice.

One difference: the horse vehicle may run off to the fjords, the truck vehicle may run off to the Ford's.

It's can be fun to plumb the limits of computing and Arch's gimmick is living entirely on the bleeding edge of computing - it's where all the exciting issues are being actively identified and worked on. However, if you're not into tinkering, I agree - Arch is 'C tier' for average users - specifically because of the dangers of playing in deep waters. As an enthusiast myself, I have Arch on my daily driver, but only because I have a NAS, home server, backup strategy, and other Linux machines running Debian, Fedora, and SteamOS at the ready in case I hit one of Arch's infamous 'Bad Days'.

They took as much as they could digest, but it was a lot to swallow.

Checked post history. Shocking lack of noods.

A demon core was part of early nuclear bomb research. The type of reaction they were studying would emit blue light and a ton of radiation.

It's been a meme to imagine the demon core as an available weapon in medieval fantasy, since it looks somewhat like a mace.

But is it the same sponge? Inverse ship of Theseus!

It's a protest. Showing how dangerous the streets are to cyclists (and how many cyclists use the roads) is the message. A protest that challenges law and inconveniences people peacefully is how they garner attention (hopefully as a prelude to change and improvements).
