30 seconds for what?

This is not a delay. They are updating the window from "Early 2023-24," which the article states is likely anytime this past year to the end of their fiscal year at the end of March to... "Q4 2023-24" which ends at the end of March. So there's no real change to when it could release by (yet).

It’s the perfect time to quit when they’re making it so easy!

Is this in Athens? I read a blog post recently about an older game that went above and beyond to capture the Orient Express in it's prime: https://www.filfre.net/2023/10/the-last-express/

A “land of milk and honey” is a place of opportunity where one hopes to find a better life. I first heard the term in the song Nancy from Now On by Father John Misty. After looking it up because of this post, at some point in the Bible Israel is described as a land flowing with milk and honey multiple times.

LAN is short for local area network and only one letter away from land, so a church naming their wifi “Lan of Milk and Honey” crosses the similar sounding technical term related to the wifi with a biblical term related to the church, thereby achieving a pun. I hope that helps you get it!

What do you think the point of differing denominations is if not to have modified/different and, as the person you responded to said, more right ideologies?

Welp, time to start a 20 minutes 6 days a week study for parity!

There is a chapter or two from a book by philosopher Derek Parfit that tackles the transporter issue pretty head-on. It draws what I feel to be a pretty compelling distinction between the continuity of your conscious mind, referred to as Relation R, and the personal identity that is lost when using the transporter. He then asks which is more important. Worth a read if this stuff interests you.

I actually think this is one of the few times I’ve seen the template used 100% correctly. The original comic had the dog wanting to play fetch, then saying “No ball” when the person tries to get the ball they need to play fetch. The dog then demands fetch again, despite having denied the person what they need to do so.

Regardless of this meme’s accuracy, I do not understand how it misuses the comic template as a user asks for a bug fix, refuses to share the details needed to complete the bug fix, then demands the bug fix once again, just as the dog does with playing fetch and the ball. Could you please explain your thinking?

I think the difference is that a card is more of a gesture than a discussion like in texts. They’re a way to show that you’ve gone out of your way to acknowledge something card-worthy. Texts are a discussion between both people.

I do think there’s more genuine expression from selecting a card that seems right than running with what an AI suggests, especially since cards are (hopefully) written by an actual person considering the occasion. That and you can always add a personal note to a store bought card as well.

Overall though, it kind of feels like an apples to oranges comparison.

No, there’s a Hidetaka Miyazaki now, the head of FromSoftware who is unrelated to Hayao Miyazaki as far as I know. It took me a while to figure that out.

I definitely had that for a while. One thing that can help is going into your settings/preferences and clearing your Spotify cache. I believe the recommendations are at least partially based on data stored there, so clearing it can start a fresher record.
