That is a horrifying number of tabs. I can't decide if you need an intervention or an exorcist at this point.

(Go exorcism. Hella good Sci Show content on your experience!)

By definition, you cannot know whether the people ICE are kidnapping are legal or illegal residents until you go through due process.

That's also why it's so fucked up. ICE could pick YOU up tomorrow and, without due process, nobody could say whether what they did was correct.

Sounds like a Crisis Event to me... Looks like you need a few more alternative universes in the KB Cinematic Multiverse!

Of course. If Dems start to look like they will regain power, they have to have a plan in the wings to fully neuter the power they themselves have abused.

To be fair, it's only a contingency plan in the event they can't rig another election or Trump can't become a permanent dictator in 4 years.

A few of my coworkers use it and absolutely love it for note taking and recall. I'm super jealous of it honestly but the price has stopped me so far.

Google placing their idiotic AI generated slop at the top of search is infuriating especially for googling actual facts. There's no point in a search AI that gets reality grossly wrong half the time.

I really liked them. He went with a more Western vibe for the second series and it probably took him a bit to really settle into his version of the tropes but it's still very fun and a great evolution of the world established in the first series...

Aaaaand now I need to go reread Mistborn.

Yeah. In addition to not knowing where to begin...sometimes it just feels like anything I'd have to say has probably already been said better so who needs to hear my nonsense.

Stability studies conducted under cGMP regulations are very strict about risk. The use date is typically set in such a way that it's practically guaranteed that EVERY packet of a drug will be safe. So naturally, the date will be shorter than real expiration for a large portion of product.

I am a chemist that performs the stability studies that go into establishing use dates. It's all about risk. Yes, most individual packets of drugs hold potency beyond use date. But if there's even a hint of potency loss or impurity by the end of the study, the date is set accordingly.

Maybe use for an action economy?
In order to perform an action you must trade some number of dice to your opponent (or DM, or coop players), which then fuels how much they can do.
Tie in mechanics that change the value of the dice on trade to swing advantages, dice color meaning, etc...

Just finished it this morning. Hold on to your butt, it gets so much crazier.
