TL; DR: They used peoples kids to rat out their own parents doing drugs with a program that made it more likely kids would use drugs. And DARE pioneered a way to legally bribe the police. And the guy that ran DARE almost got caught for illegal spying on US citizens. And they have a program coming back into schools.

Yeah, Firebreak is a terribly designed game. Not being explained how to repair things, not knowing what the "main" weapon of your class does, not being explained what the showers are or how to turn them on, not being explained how to use the ammo station, not being explained ANYTHING about the very fucky universe you get dropped into - it's all bad. And there is so much more badbi nor you mentioned, too. It has the bones of a potentially good game, but man, the main designer either needs to go back to school or the suits that made them change it so much need to be removed.

Probably a lack of good information - with only a hundred odd cases and not having had much time to get the facts, I'm betting that's a SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) and we'll have better info the more time has passed.

I believe it would lead to fewer chances for the mites to migrate between colonies - i.e. more flowers == less bees per flower == less chance for a mite to jump from a bee to a flower to a bee/different hive.

That's just a guess tho and my gut also says that climate change isn't helping.

This should go under the dictionary definition of "bad faith argument".

The car doesn't have to be in self driving mode for the fault to be Tesla's - for example, the pedals on the cybertruck sliding off and sticking down the accelerator.

Tl; dr: greed of the manufacturers + dealers and the fact that you can't live without a car in the US.

Direct link to the project, but be aware it is still in alpha if you try it https://www.thelastwishproject.com/

While true, Germany does have fluoridated salt and fluoride rinses instead. Its just easier for USA water to be fluoridated since the water supplies are more unified. See https://web.archive.org/web/20170206122513/http://www.wda.org/wp_super_faq/european-countries-have-rejected-fluoridation-so-why-should-we-fluoridate-water

There would (should?) still need a 2/3rd majority to vote yes again, but you make a fair point. Especially given our current federal government.

 

I don't get too many Flickers around, so when I see one I try to get a picture.

 

Sign up and compete or just come and watch these masters of their craft!

 

I'll believe it when I can buy it.

 

A good guide to some useful widgets.

They're not quite "mods" - per BAR's own FAQ, full modding is not supported quite yet as BAR is still in Alpha but these widgets are possible.

 

I've only watched this one played 8v8 by inexperienced players but the water portion could make it interesting. Will have to try a 3v3 match on it just to see and I hope it adds some spice to the the 8v8 competitive scene.

 

I feel like the ability to pause multiplayer games is maybe not good for gameplay. I get players have stuff come up during a game but it isn't the fault of the up to 15 other people + spectators.

However, if I'm just playing with a couple of friends and it isn't competitive, being able to pause because my teeth are floating is nice. They're not gonna just quit and give me the win because we paused.

What are y'alls opinion on being able to pause?
