Have you been to the USA?

You missed the low/no skill part, didn’t you? There is a need for those.

Or are you the kind of scum that believes we all need to “earn” a living. As if every being isn’t entitled to exist unless in servitude to the economy. Fuck right off.

Oregon does, or did if they stopped.

Swingers has a great oldies/crooner soundtrack.

I had lobstraganda at first but amended to lobstroganda due to the quoted sources being lobstrosities.

Well, I wasn’t 100% sure of how King had spelled it so I searched duck duck go for “ded-a-chek” and the Dark Tower Wiki entry for Lobstrosities topped the list. Sound out of deference to the source material: lobstroganda.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Baduk is the Korean name for it, I believe. Also known as weiqi and igo, it is the longest continuously played board game at around 2500 years old.

At its core, Go is actually quite simple. Played on a 25x25 grid, stones are played on the intersection of the lines instead of the spaces. The goal is to fence off and create territory, zones of control where you expect to capture any stone your opponent might play in that area.

Stones or chains of stones are captured when surrounded. Empty spaces (intersections) adjacent to a stone or chains of stones are referred to as liberties. Once all liberties are occupied the stone(s) are captured, removed from the board, and held by the captor. A single stone has 4 intersections connected to it, so 4 liberties. 2 connected stones have 6 liberties and so on…much easier to grok that with a visual aid or a better writer than me.

If a player does not see an advantage to making any more moves they can pass. The game is concluded when both players pass. Scoring is done by each player using their captured stones to occupy their opponent’s territory and then counting what remains.

Nice try, you two, but us crabs ain’t falling for your lobstroganda

Thanks for reminding me it’s on the wishlist!

I bought Mika and the Witch’s Mountain for my daughter and have had a lot of fun playing it myself. I recommend it to anyone who likes Kiki’s Delivery Service and wants to play a beautifully animated flying delivery game in a similar vein. I know it’s a kickstarter link below but it’s out now, available through several online retailers.

Correct.

Still dispiriting when it plays out that way. Maybe the pendulum is swinging back, though. Recent antitrust cases have shown me a glimmer of hope that my kids might see a better world than I’ve had to live in.

Can you get scuba tanks of nitrogen? I suppose thr unscrupulous would fill anything with the gas of your choice. It probably doesn’t have to be a scuba tank, either.

Visa said the claims were “meritless” and it would defend itself in court.

Where they will pay a fine for which they’ve already budgeted.

Similarly, cilantro tastes like soap to some people.

We have scheduled bulk item pickups in pur city. The night before you will usually see at least a couple trucks driving around tossing any scrap metal they find in the bed.

Got a scooter, bike, and eliptical from a neighbor the same way.

Open exploration, similar art style, and they mentioned not liking Skyward; I would say BotW is more akin to WW than SS. But yes, they are very different.
