Seriously doubt it. Elective surgeries were likely cancelled, which could certainly prolong suffering for some, but life saving surgeries can absolutely happen and do without computers.

I'd like to try to assuage your fears regarding a protest meeting missiles or drone strikes. Yes, the President can order drone strikes with impunity. It's been that way since the first use of drones, early as the Obama era (maybe earlier, but I was a bit young then).

However, this does not apply to US soil. One of the benefits of state sovereignty is that federal armed forces can't operate on US soil. National guard gets involved, at the governor's request, but they don't have missiles or drones. Police are barbaric, but they also don't have missiles or drones.

So I don't think we'd see much of an escalation in terms of weapons of violence with regards to protests when compared to 2020.

Ranked choice voting. A system that is FAR better than our current system, but stands as a threat to our complacent two parties, and therefore will never become a realization.

Right, I read that part. I'm not very knowledgeable on the topic, but wouldn't a top bunk have a railing?

For what it's worth, I've seen plenty of inmates who "fell from the top bunk" and they have obvious knuckle marks on their cheeks from being punched. So I'm a little suspicious of those kinds of "falls".

I'm usually one to discount news stories for being dramatic and misleading, but this one is pretty rough. Unsure how she fell in the first place, but the video of her on the floor with the pointed toes is rough to watch. That's a hard one to fake, and is a clear sign of spinal trauma.

$47, for anyone curious what this discount is, and doesn't have the original price memorized like me.

It's an open world sandbox type game, loosely based on Norse mythology. Loosely as in barely relevant. Base building, exploration, combat, crafting are the key concepts. There are some grinding parts, but overall very enjoyable.

I would akin it to Rust, Ark, and those kinds of games. Palworld is similar, but the map is randomly generated so each person has a slightly different experience.

Yeah, much better at the bottom. I suspect that this allows them to be loaded each time we load comment section (allowing you to be paid for your efforts), regardless of how long the comments section is?
