Just newline characters for formatting - it’s possible that whatever app you’re using doesn’t properly support the markdown. I had issues with that on Sync before switching to Thunder.

As I’m reading this story I keep wondering…
How in the hell did the authorities even catch wind of this even happening?
Did someone report them?
Are all the rooms tapped and monitored Stasi-style?

Oh absolutely, I did not mean to imply RCV is the end-all-be-all. STAR is my preferred voting system, but if it’s RCV vs pure plurality , I’d much rather have RCV.

Alaskan here - we’ve had RCV since 2020, and this year there was a ballot measure to remove it… Can’t have shit in this country 😒. Being too “confusing” has been the only argument against it I’ve heard (AKA, no actual substantial argument against it.) Oh, and I guess that we elected a Democrat for House Rep because of it. Definitely can’t have that.

Seriously though. Snapper has saved my bacon so many times, I don’t even know how I operated before it.

Never played Craps before 🤷

I’m usually awful at these, but today wasn’t too bad.

I remember being obsessed with this one when it first came out! It might be time for a replay on my Steam Deck!

Yuck, yeah. I remember so much of the tension in the first Resident Evil was fighting with the damn controls. It’s like trying to run away from something in a dream, and your body isn’t doing what you want it to!

Yeah…it’s quite annoying. Go to pick up my tablet off the dock, and literally every notification I’ve received since I last used it is there. Even if I’ve already acknowledged it on my phone.

Exactly this.

My mother continually defends that jackass every time I try and bring up how unhinged and nonsensical he sounds - such as when rambling about sharks, or Gettysburg.

“Oh sweetie, he’s just kidding! He likes to joke and kid around!”

No…No mom, he’s a deranged lunatic who can barely string together two coherent sentences.

Nonono, that was the National Socialist Party, duh!

Hey, at least she picked one of the most reliable cars on the market.

My first thought too. Guaranteed her parents are vile.

I’ve treated my hunting clothing with permethrin when we were going to an area that was known to have an extremely heavy tick population. We had a spray bottle of the stuff, and did a thick coating all over our outer gear, and then allowed it to dry. Permethrin is fairly low toxicity for humans & dogs, but absolutely killer for mosquitoes and ticks. Worked like a charm!
