Indeed, I lead a choir and a handbell choir at the church where I work; some handbell ringers became very close friends!

Yes, I’ve met a bunch of interesting people through board games, and one of them is one of my closest friends now! Facebook and Meetup are the top ways to connect, though I try to also promote the lowly, nonprofit GameNight.host whenever I can.

Anyway, Hard to Get is another, solid cooperative discussion game: it’s like Codenames, except everyone is on the same team that’s trying to pare the grid down to just the 1 assassin word; the clue giver gives highly restricted, awkward/irrelevant clues about it versus all the rest.

But it’s also about quality of life; do you want the last decade to be in increasing pain with challenged mobility or not as bad?

One of us is gonna have to email one of the authors to ask for a copy. I’ve read that they want the public to read their work and that the paywall is just like a default setting.

I began offering weekly board game gatherings and dinners for the public, and, aside from the rocky start (no one at the first 2 events), every gathering has always gotten a minimum of 3-8 people here in West Allis, WI!

I’ve been using this website in conjunction with a Facebook group: https://gamenight.host/@wa_bgn

I, too, have Rethink: DNS + Firewall + VPN installed. Prior to this I was using NetGuard.

That’s the average price of a teenage life, too, apparently.

From the small thumbnail, I thought the graphic was showing pirate ships, not battle stations.

Darn! Well, at least the option is available for computer-less smartphone owners, I guess.

Can DeX be used with just an external monitor without a PC?

Absolutely!

I’m pretty sure @[email protected] was meaning the exact opposite, that it’s more about educating perpetrators than taking vengeance or merely dishing out old-fashioned justice on them.

Apparently, it was required to be allowed in that state:

Reading a bit more, during the sentencing phase in that state people making victim impact statements can choose their format for expression, and it’s entirely allowed to make statements about what other people would say. So the judge didn’t actually have grounds to deny it.
No jury during that phase, so it’s just the judge listening to free form requests in both directions.

It’s gross, but the rules very much allow the sister to make a statement about what she believes her brother would have wanted to say, in whatever format she wanted.

influence the sentence

From what I’ve seen, to be fair, judges’ decisions have varied wildly regardless, sadly, and sentences should be more standardized. I wonder what it would’ve been otherwise.

This has influenced my entire idea of spending money

How so, out of curiosity?

Exhausting? S3 was awesome and ST:TNG-like!

Perhaps; it seemed like they knew the decedent well enough to know that he would appreciate this, from everything that the article says. With that said, I also won’t be surprised if templates for wills or living trusts add a no-duplication statement by default over the coming years.

Thanks for sharing; I thought this was a fascinating read, especially since it ended on a positive note and not pure condemnation. It seems totally Black Mirror-esque, but I do wonder how many of the commentators here attacking it didn’t read the article. The family obviously didn’t make this decision lightly, given how much work it took to create it, and even the judge appreciated the novel approach. This is probably one of the best-case use scenarios relative to the abyss of unstoppable horror that awaits us.

When do they diverge in character? I went all the way to the mole dungeon and they feel entirely and identically bland.

I look forward to its eventual reclassification as a “ficklecoin™.”
