US politics is temporarily not allowed as a topic. This question appears to be about Ukrainian nuclear defense capabilities, which would not qualify as US politics.

Even if voters may not expect any better from Trump, Gaitan said, “they feel they can trust him on the economy.”

So...they're stupid?

That game was the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. Lots of other great games have happened, but the low barrier to entry (buy-to-play instead of subscription) and the reward for slotting a useful 8 skills that worked well with each other and well with the other 7 or so people in your group cannot be beat.

I've done some (grunt-level) work in chemical packaging. I didn't see in the article if it specifies, but the place I worked handled tons of different types of chemicals and they'd all have their own precautions needed. If this place was the same (big if), the sprinklers are probably standard for fire, and the chemical in question should be delivered sealed in watertight drums and only opened/handled inside a small room-sized fume hood. We had specialized rooms for things like spontaneously combustible chemicals and poisonous inhalation hazards — those chemicals were never unsealed outside those rooms.

All that goes out the window I assume if this is the only chemical they handle.

Has anything reputable reported on this? Everything I've read has said motive is under investigation, but it'd seem a bit clearer if this is actually true and not just facebook being facebook.

I have. It didn't seem ridiculously priced and the results have included what I want the majority of the time. No complaints so far, and it's been about six months.

I completely forgot the 12-inch one existed.

Okay, the old ones that apparently have both do have the Thunderbolt symbol on the ones that are, though, so what's the problem?

Why would you need them on a MacBook? They're always* Thunderbolt.

Edit: Better explained by GamingChairModel below. I entirely forgot one series of MacBook, and also forgot when the older ones did have the Thunderbolt symbol on them.

Sort of the thing that makes me think this one still has a ghost of a chance, but then I've liked the games The Chinese Room has made before mostly for their writing and music. I'll probably be disappointed, but them at the helm doesn't kill it for me like it probably does for people who wanted more of the original.

Is there a preferred metric to measure this by? I didn't play the first one, but Wikipedia says "polarizing but ultimately positive," and there's an 80/100 metacritic score, for whatever that's worth.

Your word picture is just so funny that I want to root for the game's success just to be the person that quotes this comment and @s you, even if I tend to agree with your assessment.

And maybe I'm using it wrong, but it just...doesn't work. I use spotlight search on my MacBook to find programs and things and it just finds them. It's fast enough to be faster than me opening things off the dock.

I try to use the search on my wife's Win11 computer and half the time it sends me to a website for a program she already has installed.

Like if you want to imitate, even badly, the imitation should at least be functional.
