I've noticed that if you have something in your basket that will complete a bundle for cheaper, it'll just go ahead and /do/ that at checkout, even if I didn't notice it on the game's store page and added it as a standalone

given the cockpit in-game appears to be high-def flat panels... does it go 2D when you're in the mech? :P

for what it's worth, I tried to google that article and the first result I got was a reddit post where it had been posted but the mods had removed it and all the /BG3 redditors/ were saying it was Creepy and Weird.

If someone dropped DeNiro's team in Ronin (1998) into a place where buildings grow and your neighbours are other species, and made them fight over a delightfully grouchy old man instead of a shiny suitcase, it might read like WICKHILLS. (Apologies for the Ronin spoilers)

I get a supermarket delivery once every two weeks for large or heavy bulk items, or staples, along with a couple of days of perishables. Rest of the time, I've got a Lidl 15 minutes away and a corner shop 5 minutes away

Did you know that military ships in Sweden have QR codes on their hulls? It's so when they get back to port they can Scandinavian.

It all started on this day. Thank you for a wonderful twenty years.

Text in the center reads: 20 Years Oct. 2006 - Oct. 2026, clarkesworldmagazine.com

(right) Cover art for issue 241 by Marcel Deneuve is "Labyrinths of Azarax" and features a blue and white mechanical eye in a circular opening looking at a small, white, glowing humanoid figure standing on a large pipe in the tunnel. Many pipes line the walls, all heading out to the main room. Pipes are yellow and gray. Room beyond is blue.

(left) Cover art for issue 1 by Tomasz Pietrzyk is "The Town of the Towers" and features a surreal town of yellowy white distorted towers with reddish orange roofs that overhang the towers and rise to a point. Mishapen dark windows and doors are scattered about on the buildings. Orange sky gives the entire piece a warm tone.

Before, ironically, the literal day before I heard about that article, I'd never heard of it - and only then because it's mentioned in a /different/ article I read that day. That being said, after listening to the song, I've definitely heard it before, but certainly didn't know what it was called

I think the main exception is as a code assistant, where, because that's a use the creators of the technology actually also use it for, it is now a productivity enhancer when implemented in an appropriate way by management in support of people sufficiently skilled in coding without AI

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

I suspect it's for parents and grandparents to buy something for kids not involving shooting but still convince themselves the kid will like "because it's Mickey"

I'm sure Francesca would /love/ that, play-fighting with her older brother would be like all her Christmases and birthdays combined. Yes, Fiasco might not consider it play-fighting but I doubt his aggression and her intuition

yes to 1) and 2), with the caveat that I don't know what the "right" way to handle 2) /is/ for an alcoholic either. Knowing the answer to that would inform the answer to 3) but my gut feeling is that indulging this would contribute to harm

you've had practical advice, but just to note that taking 25% of the whole means they are trying to take /50%/ of your cut. 15% would be 7.5%. But as others have pointed out, they are realistically entitled to 0% and please follow their advice!
