14-21 tallboys is 19-29 "standard drinks" a week.

That's a lot of alcohol.

It depends on what the goals of the project/group are.

Roughly 100-(1/∞)% of the time I don't want anything involving video or sound, but I could see some projects/groups where things like streaming or audio would be useful.

I don't have an issue with discord itself, it just seems to be being used as the default for nearly everything now, even when it shouldn't be.

From my experience with discord, more than one conversation is often happening at the same time in the same channel. For servers that are active enough, this can be as fast-paced as the chats in live streams.
Trying to parse if the answer that "OrthoDonkulous" gave is for the question that "Headshots247" asked, that "ProgrammerSox" asked, or that "BelieveUsFoetusJesus" asked is sometimes difficult.

If we don't care about FOSS or privacy or whatever, Discord is good as a chat service, but it really isn't a replacement of something like a forum, website, or wiki.

Good place to ask a question, not a great place to look for the answer to a question yourself.

Do you have cousins?

More than I can count. Both of my parents had 10+ siblings, and most of those siblings got married and had 4+ children.

I wouldn’t let my kids hang out with my friend’s kids if they were 15 years older than my kids

I wouldn't either, but I also wouldn't let my (hypothetical) children hang out unsupervised with most family members who are 15 years older than they are.

Basically anything by Zojirushi.

The cheaper NHS-10 or NSH-18 if you just want one with a lever and will eat the rice as soon as it finishes
Anything from the Micom line if you want to be able to keep the rice warm if you're waiting on someone else to get home before you eat (also, it sings a cute little song).

The cheaper NHS is easier to clean, but does not keep rice like the Micoms.

I've used the Micom (NS-LGC05 I think) 5-7 times a week for 10+ years

The only thing that I think matters from the article is this:

This building of extended family by choice shouldn't be diminished, said Qian of UBC, noting that "voluntary kin" is common in many 2SLGBTQ+ communities, and we don't have to define family based on blood ties.

If you think that having cousins should be a vital part of your child's life, just have friends that have children around the same age as your children.

I can see that side of things, but people often re-play games that they love.

Looking at Bethesda's games being played right now, Starfield is 4th place, but the newest by far.

Yeah, it sounds like the desktop version of an Iphone.

I am referring to Cyberpunk 2077.

The beginning of the game was brutal for trapping you in a car, or on a couch, forcing you to talk to characters that you have no reason to cares about. My husband said that it gets better, but I wasn't willing to put up with it.
