Unfortunately the next step is World War III which lasts from 2026 to 2053. It almost kills all of humanity and very nearly leaves the planet uninhabitable.

You know she inspired/wrote/sang most of "Imagine", one of the greatest songs of all time, among many other Beatles and Lennon "solo" songs.

While you're at it, switch over to DD/MM/YYYY for the date format. The only 2 configurations that make sense is that or YYYY/MM/DD. Either go general to specific or specific to general, MM/DD/YYYY makes no sense.

Why would they be hostile to that idea? It allows you to run the VPN only on your browser instead of your entire system which is sometimes preferable.

Well it seems like Wikipedia's list of countries is pretty sparse. They only have USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, EU, and Brazil.

It's quite good and also I like that they largely support Linux. They have phone apps, browser extensions, desktop apps, and even CLIs. They also have downloadable configurations for OpenVPN and WireGuard if you want to go that route. They've also got what I assume are fairly basic features of most VPNs like kill switching, private DNS servers, etc.

It's extremely confusing but there are basically 2 measurements systems for food energy:

There's kilocalories (abbreviated as cal) and there's kilojoules (abbreviated as kJ). It can get very confusing because some places will label them calories (cal) and Calories (kJ), lower and upper case respectively which is extremely confusing because 1 kJ is equivalent to 4.81 cal.

According to Wikipedia the US and Canada use kilocalories (cal or calories) and pretty much the rest of the world uses kilojoules (kJ or Calories).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_energy#Nutrition_labels

The main difference between the two is that kilocalories are a measure of heat energy, where 1 kilocalorie is the heat needed to warm 1 liter of water by 1 degree celcius. Whereas a kilojoule is a measure of energy usually described by force in newtons.

They're both actually from the metric system, but kilocalorie is the old and obsolete form while kilojoules is the currently accepted metric measurement.

And yet F:NV has the best writing of those 3 examples.

There's quite a lot that can be gleaned from the depots for the game on steamdb: https://steamdb.info/app/1422450/depots/

I don't know if this information is already public but here are a couple of quick inferences I made by looking a the files. I'm not overly familiar with Valve's intellectual properties so I don't recognize any specific characters or franchises.

There's likely a hero named Yamato who has the abilities:

  • Shadow Form
  • Power Stance
  • Infinity Slash
  • Healing Slash
  • Flying Strike

There's a lot more hero information but that's the top one in the depots.

The game might be called "Citadel", or it may have just been called that internally at Valve. The reason I suspect that is because of there appears to be a game folder called "citadel" which appears to be the main game folder.

I actually just learned this recently, but dinosaurs differ from reptiles in that dinosaurs have legs that are under their bodies whereas reptiles have legs that splay out to the side. So all mammals, and birds, with legs directly under their bodies are probably more closely related to dinosaurs then reptiles.

Reminds me of this George Carlin bit:

Have you ever noticed when you're driving that anyone who's driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone driving faster than you is a MANIAC!

I think that's basically the same thing as Tampermonkey. There's also GreasyFork which hosts custom scripts.
