And now I flap. Into your face. I flew right into your big lamp, it looks just like that thing in space.

Bonus points if you can get them to preserve all the NSFW mods as well.

I’d say it’s time to push the argument that the Library of Congress needs to be preserving games as part of the cultural history of the USA. If the legislative branch won’t abide private efforts then it’s time to make the government do it.

Let’s not be too hasty to call it garbage when it could in fact turn out to be rancid dog shit.

There are many days when I feel exactly how this looks.

I’m getting the impression he worked with brass balls

It is the horseshoe crab of trees

Given the right conditions, some plants can live indefinitely. Others die shortly after seeding.

Do plants die of old age though? Now that question has been put in my head, I need to know.

Be back in a bit, going down a rabbit hole.

I’m going to use this next time my wife complains about my noisy farts.

Is it a nice cabinet? I like a good walnut cabinet with at least 2 shelves.

As an aside, the ‘ever trustworthy’ Google AI suggests, ‘completely ionizing a human body would require an energy output similar to a very small nuclear explosion’.

Disclaimer: I have nothing more than a secondary education level of physics and a keen interest in physics in general.

It’s common scientific belief that all physical forces are backed up by a field, for example, magnetism by the electromagnetic field, gravity by a gravity field. It would follow that the strong and weak nuclear forces also have corresponding fields.

For a disruptor to work as seen in fiction, you’d probably be looking to disrupt the weak nuclear force, and would need a mechanism to locally change the properties of the corresponding weak nuclear field.

I don’t know if there is such a mechanism available to us currently. Hopefully someone else has a definitive answer.

Simple fix, change legal name to Al.

That’s awesome!

In that case it should be the original on the Amiga 500 😄, but I still prefer the improvements in Civ 2.

Civ 2 is still peak for me, although I did like Leonard Nimoy’s contribution to Civ IV.

My face, screaming in horror, but in words instead. I’ve only really worked with projects in homogenous languages on the application side, so hadn’t considered that. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

There is an IETF standard for UUIDs? Do we need an IETF standard for UUIDs? I’ve been coding since the '90s and never thought a UUID to be complicated or contentious enough to need a standard. I guess it makes for a pretty unique icebreaker to say you’ve contributed to an IETF standard, if you get invited to those sort of parties.
