What is this about what what? Did Hamill do something naughty??

Probably this: https://news.yahoo.com/cincinnati-area-impersonator-known-fluke-030610255.html

American Luke Skywalker impersonator who raised money for charities facing child porn charges. May or may not be guilty - I'm not familiar with the case.

Pro tip: don’t mistake a river border for a coastline.

That game really needs Steam Workshop support so people can build and share additional areas.

That isn't Chinese propaganda. It's implying people are "fleeing" Australian currency holdings because Australia's ties to China are too strong. The implication is that China had excessive influence over the current Australian government, causing people to switch away from holding AUD to other currencies/assets. It's "red scare" propaganda designed to capitalise on distrust of China.

The US has no laws requiring the advertised price to be the "bottom line" price. It's just false advertising. But they don't do anything about it because the businesses lobby politicians to protect their racket, and half the country would complain that any government regulation is intently bad.

Shanghai Village used to be the best, but it got too busy and prices went up. Last time I went there, the dumplings were still good, but that was a while ago now.

Oh hey! An easy one! The country itself and all the neighbours are very distinctive shapes. It does treat an external territory as a neighbour, though.

Oh, interesting. Today, one of the neighbours shows a region that isn’t universally recognised as independent in grey.

OK, "limited until you pay more or receive another gold award" to be precise.

If you pay for a reddit premium subscription, you get a number of benefits. The main ones are highlighting new comments since you last viewed a post, and removing at least some ads. It also gives you a monthly allowance of "reddit coins" that you can use to award posts/comments. The bigger awards (e.g. gold) grant the recipient a week of reddit premium features and some coins they can spend themselves.

Most people probably aren't paying for the "reddit coins" per se, they're paying for the other features. Then they spend the coins to award comments and posts that they particularly like.

The fact that "coins" cost money and are limited means people tend to think more about what they spend them on, so the awards are a lot more indicative of what people consider to be valuable content than free up/down votes.

They aren't getting rid of the paid reddit premium subscriptions, they're just getting rid of the current system of "coins" and awards. They say they plan to replace it with something, but there's no indication of what the replacement might be.

More bitching about inconsistencyIf they consider the Australian external territory of Norfolk Island to be a “country” for the purpose of listing New Zealand’s neighbours, why don’t they consider the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, which shares a land border with Spain, to be one of its neighbours? Also, it’s only 13 km from Spain to Morocco across the Strait – that’s got to count as a neigbour – and Algeria isn’t far away, either.

Poor Volgren, effectively killed by NSW Labor. It’s owned by Marcopolo now.
