Thank you, I'll try. Tho I'd still be interested to by the answer to my original question, since I might want to change other keybinds later...

Tbf, the Guy kept Nanni's letter of complaint intact in his home, he might've been kind of a troll. He might laugh at the idea that people millenias from then laugh at Nanni's frustration as he perhaps did himself. As to whether our perception of himself would bother him... Well, he might be the worst copper trader we've ever heard off... But we've heard of him!

Not a fig wasp. In fact, the article for Apoica Pallens doesn't mention figs even once. It says that they're used in folk medecine in Brazil, but that's far from it being a popular food...

Some stuff like that's definitely happened to me. My dumbest defeat was after drinking a potion of levitation to get past some disintegration traps, accidentally tapped he wrong part of the screen, thought I might still have enough fuel to make it to the chest and I'd use my spirit chain on the way back... But nope, I fell right on a trap and died. I had an ankh, but not a blessed one, so even tho I could make it back to that room's entrance I had no way to recover my bag.

Roaches can transmit diseases, they're an actual biohazard. This doesn't change that they're living animals, but this does mean killing them when they're invading a home is legitimate defense. You may shun someone who goes tiger-hunting, but if a tiger comes into town, threateningly approaches people and get shot, you'd think this was necessary, although regrettable. You might want to investigate the cause for the tiger's unusual town venture, maybe blame deforestation, but the one who ends up shooting is likely not the one to blame. Same for roaches. Yes, they're animals; and certainly fascinating ones in some regards, but if they start proliferating in our homes, bringing bacteria and molds everywhere... At some point it's us or them.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is great, it's an open-source dungeon crawler. Neither adds, nor transactions, micro or otherwise. If you want to pay tho, there's a donation link for the dev team.

And if you still want too play GBA games, check check out the Lemuroid emulator, it's also open source and has no adds. Works for nintendoDS too.

You can find both of these on F-Droid. They're also be on Google Play, but since I've only tried the F-Droid version idk if the other has adds.

Personally, I don't. I get from your story that you seem to have been abusively banned, and from the comments that it doesn't seem like an isolate case. But while that might deter me from making an account there, or at most from having a community hosted there, it's not like anything bad comes to me from merely interacting with .ml content. The only servers worth blocking in my opinion are those full of spammers, or of content I'd personally hate to see in any situation.

Then I guess so where the microbioms of people whose guts Thanos had already purged.

If the 50% are homogeneously spread -and it's implied that it is-, then one may assume 50% per person also applies. Like how he didn't leave 50% of planets alone and purge the rest.

 

People could all make their own breads, if they had more times, but it'd require more ovens working simultaneously instead of fewer big ovens. It would also take more time for humanity, collectively. And even if everyone had a big oven like those in bakeries, while they could make big stocks of bread for a long time, this would result in everyone eating bread of lesser quality because bread goes bad with time. Having a skilled minority cooking a lot of bread every day in big ovens is just better.

This is not an ode to capitalism or any specific economic system, socialist or communist systems can have bakers to, I guess, tho the ownership of bakeries and boss-employee relationship between them must be rethought or abolished in these cases. All I'm saying is, when thinking up a new and revolutionary economic system, one must always account for bakers.

And sure, robots could bake, maybe. But I don't think they should. Or rather, I think human-made bread and pastries should always exist, because they create variatons and originalities that are interesting. And if human-made bread becomes a luxury commodity and the common people only have access to robot bread, this'd be a tragedy, so better keep the djinni in a bottle and not let robots bake.

It's my first time posting a comic here, and first comic of the Pineappleverse (more to come).

[Image description: A one-eyed tentacled creature, a feathery dinosaur losely based on yutyrannus and a human man with a mustache are sitting at a table. They're taking notes of what appears to be some official meeting. They're all wearing a headset shaped like cat ears. The siderosaur is turns towards the man and asks in his own gibberish language something that the headset translates as "Where will we eat?". The man replies "In the cafeteria, as usual" (which his headset translates for the siderosaur. The later then says (once more translated) "I know, I'm referring to another dimention!". The man says "What?!", looking dumbfounded and exasperated. The caption below reads: "Siderosaur languages don't have a clear distinction between time and space. Early cosmotranslator models didn't account for this."]

For a long time, I thought of the blockchain as almost synonymous with cryptocurrencies, so as I saw stuff like "Odyssey" and "lbry" appearing and being "based on the blockchain", my first thought was that it was another crypto scam. Then, I just got reminded of it and started looking more into it, and it just seemed like regular torrenting. For example, what's the big innovation separating Odyssey from Peertube, which is also decentralized and also uses P2P? And what part of it does the blockchain really play, that couldn't be done with regular P2P? More generally, and looking at the futur, does the blockchain offer new possibilities that the fediverse or pre-existing protocols don't have?

Tell Ea-Nasir: Nanni sends the following message:

"When you came, you said to me: “I will give fine quality copper ingots." You left, but you did not do what you promised me. You put ingots which were not good before my messenger and said:

“If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!”

What do you take me for that you treat me with such contempt? How have you treated me for that copper? You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory; It is now up to you to restore to me in full. Take notice that I will not accept any copper from you that is not of fine quality. I shall select and take the ingots individually in my yard and I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt.”
