No clue about Castle Howard but Howard Johnson’s is a long standing but steadily declining American hotel and former restaurant chain

You shall be spared from the onslaught

It says there’s a QR code but it’s just all blurry for me. Am I actually a computer and don’t know it?

I’m in this same sort of boat. It’s not that I really want to play but I have a friend who wants me to play and I’m happy to go along with it. So like you, I can’t justify the prices for something that I might (and probably) won’t even like.

What I’ve found is what are called “proxys”. Basically you can just print the cards you want for free off the internet. I’m sure there are groups out there that aren’t approving of playing with proxies but if your group falls more on the side of playing and having fun rather than collecting and you’re not trying to pass off proxies as real cards then you should be fine.

It seems to me like a great way to get started and see if it’s something you like without much investment at all

I’m just finishing up listening to the first one and I’m really glad there are more

All hail the emperor!

So yes there is unfortunately a small number of people in the corporate world who need that specific training but what it mostly is is plausible deniability for the company. In case you do get your password stolen or some such the company can then turn around and say that you had the mandated security training which makes it easier to let you go. It’s all so they can cover their asses

As am I ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Look into the history of the black panthers. They armed themselves which caused new gun laws to be passed in the state of California. The irony being that those bills were signed into law by Reagan when he was governor

Yep. When my now wife was like 13 her dad (who was in the early stages of being eaten by Fox News) didn’t want her to get the hpv vaccine fearing that she’d just be out having sex. What a wild thing to think about your own daughter. Especially for a guy who had unprotected premarital sex which made my wife

Armed minorities are harder to oppress

Dude nice! As the dad of a 4 month old this is the kind of stuff I’m looking forward to. Not only as a project for me but also to try to teach some computer skills to the little one because I’m not going to be in my 80s and having her come to me needing her stuff fixed.

What is your controller solution? I can see kiddos getting frustrated at the controller not having buttons that are represented on the screen

 

Ever tried it? You should. It feels like my pants are floating!

 
 

They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
