What kind of people target the Internet Archive? I don't have an X account so does anyone know what the hackers' mission statement is?

Agreed. We have three "large" grocery stores in town: a Safeway (Albertson's), Grocery Outlet, and a local grocery store which, like yours, is extremely expensive. Our Safeway appeared on the list of divestitures and I think that would probably raise prices as well as change the staples we have available. It sounds like a bad situation all around.

As an asexual woman who loves badminton, can confirm. It's definitely not a sport that can involve running around in tight clothing getting sweaty.

How topical Some More News' latest video is. My heart goes out to the injured pedestrian and I hope she makes a good, quick recovery.

That doesn't seem like a bad start to me, but I haven't read it thoroughly. I also recommend checking out the official Android Studio beginner's guide: https://developer.android.com/get-started/overview

Alternatively, you can use wrappers like Flutter, React Native, or the Ionic framework if you think you might want cross-platform or web capability later, though that adds a lot of overhead that isn't always the best choice.

Fantastic article, thanks for sharing. I'm disappointed in the EFF's stance here. I understand the reasoning but I don't feel that such hateful, dangerous speech is a good candidate for this argument. (Hateful and dangerous as in actual deaths have occurred from this.)

Disclaimer: I also had a lot of fun with this game but I got it for free with a graphics card.

Part of it was getting rid of the old beloved characters. Shaundi, Pierce, etc. were well loved among fans and sorely missed when the game out. People found the new characters boring and generic, but I don't know if that criticism survived past the release stage.

It also released with quite a few game breaking bugs which had to be ironed out. Par for the course with big budget games these days, frankly.

As a fan of SR3 and SR4, I missed the zaniness of those entries, but that wasn't a common feeling among fans of SR2.

A lot of people hated it for how "woke" it apparently was by having... people of color in it? Commentary about racism and feminism or something? I don't know, it's been a while since I played so I can't recall any instances in particular of it being "woke" enough to offend people who care about that. As a woke SJW myself, I felt it was pretty good on that front without being overbearing.

The title makes it sound like the water restrictions are what's worsening the drought.

The problem is that online storefronts all lease (edit: it's actually license) you the games you own until your account is terminated. I miss actually owning media.
