There's a handful of places around the Midwest that do beggars night. The main reason I've heard was that it was to stop children from pulling pranks like egging/TPing houses, which honestly makes no sense to me. You just freed up their entire Halloween night for that by having trick or treating on a different day

Yeah, I don't think there's any way to report communities, just users and messages

Nope, definitely not. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. FYI, the reports came through a little weird (since it's about a community) and I accidentally hit ban on your account, but I've rescinded it (also on mobile so the interface was a bit different)

i feel like "does he not like bilbo?" can basically sum up gandalf's actions in the hobbit more generally

yeah, i picked it up too; The site you get the PDFs from is pretty bad UI design-wise.

You've obviously gotten the base level answer, but to add some color here - certain types of food, such as dried pasta, rice, beans, grains, high proof alcohol, vinegars, and basically anything frozen to name a few, never spoil in the sense that they're unsafe to eat.

Flavor, however, is an entirely different matter. Just ask anyone who has eaten freezer burnt food.

Pretty much any high proof alcohol will fall into this category. And, if it's unopened, it should retain most of its flavor for a very long time. Once opened, however, it can deteriorate relatively quickly, depending on how it was stored.

Since the 70s. It was in an act signed by Nixon.

It was the official discord until earlier this year, so it's kinda not just "some unofficial server". Also, the mod in question was using racial slurs. Granted, the Godot foundation also split ways with them.

Additionally there was something about an over zealous community manager blocking people over responses that supposedly weren't all that inflammatory or bad? I'm not super sure there, I've only kinda half been paying attention to it

yeah, its hard to predict what will happen to it, especially after gabe steps down or dies, but depending on how much of the company is broadly owned by employees vs individuals, it can help to shield it from bad decisions. Unfortunately, we don't know the exact numbers. If gabe + mike own 51+% then it could potentially lead to overriding employee will in a bad decision for money (either through their actions or through inheritance like you say). Or the employees could just collectively make a bad decision too.

AFAIK, most of valve's stock is held by employees, not private investors. It's usually a pretty hard sell of "make the company you work at shittier to make more money", especially since most of the employees probably know gabe personally (valve has less than 400 employees) and likely approve of his leadership.

Pretty much anything that telegraphs people gathering somewhere with supplies, or hints towards somewhere that can be fortified (army base, buildings that can lock down like government buildings, schools, possibly hospitals, etc) is a pretty easy way to get your players to gravitate towards it.

FWIW, at this point, that study would be horribly outdated. It was done in 2022, which means it probably took place in early 2022 or 2021. The models used for coding have come a long way since then, the study would essentially have to be redone on current models to see if that's still the case.

The people's perceptions have probably not changed, but if the code is actually insecure would need to be reassessed
