If you're mostly eating hot dogs then a bidet might be a good investment too. Luckily Costco sells both

DT is probably just thinking back fondly of his last visit to North Korea.

"Hey, what if I did that?!"

Honestly, I'd prefer this over the gotta-invite-a-billion-kids local play-place sugar-fest where the kids are mostly just running around in packs.

Get a small group of kids. Let them play and actually enjoy each other's company. Done

They're not "anti-vaccine" they're "pro-plague"

I built a small set of scripts to decrypt when the initrd starts and can load from a file in the initrd (from separate volume), EFI, or various combinations of passphrase in GRUB. The main intent isn't to keep out somebody with physical access to the machine and sufficient time but rather makes it a lot easier to make the data unrecoverable when the drive is disposed of.

Ironic that a government overthrow led by a shadow cabal of tech billionaires basically comes down to "they plan on turning it off and on again"

Corporate execs: "is there a way we can speed up the process of turning them into oil after that? After all, dinosaurs don't have human rights because they're not human"

I kinda feel like Terra developed a bit more over the course of the game, from orphan half-fey under the control of the empire to joining a rebel group while finding herself and discovering her past. In the end she doesn't get assigned a "love interest" and become mother to a bunch of war-orphans as she gets in touch with her humanity.

Celes comes in a bit more badass to start - as a super-soldier-serum (magic infused) general who turned against the same immoral empire - but a lot of her side story aside from the island is a bit... weird what with the whole Locke Ultros opera thing. It's like the story writers couldn't decide whether she was a superhero or damsel in distress.

Locke's own backstory with the Phoenix quest is neat though.

Yeah that was my first thought. Better learn about corporate greed from a "smart display" then a >$1k appliance (but better not to buy them at all).

Last time they tried somebody tried to harpoon one and was only able to be stopped by a giant invisible space-ship that then beamed them aboard.
