Neat, maybe they’ll extend it to other groups in the future once the infrastructure exists - many illnesses aren’t “terminal” but untreatable and extremely limiting and/or painful.

That’s interesting, what did the original use instead of kobolds?

At 13, they are both basically and literally teenagers, which comes with the legal consequence of being liable for criminal actions.

Good find! And yeah, the referral order sentence seems to be rather obviously aimed at rehabilitation instead of punishing, would be weird if that was combined with a lifelong criminal record that is visible to potential employers and the like.

Teenagers are minors, but not children, my guy.

“child, 13” - a 13yo is a teenager, not a child.

That article was a pain in the ass to read, horribly structured.

What she did: “The court heard the girl was taken to the protest outside the Potters International Hotel, which houses asylum seekers, by a parent of a friend. Police body-worn video showed the teenager briefly bang and kick at a door of the hotel while voices could be heard telling her to stop.”

Her sentence, a “12-month referral order”: “A referral order means you are required to attend a youth offender panel. The panel, you, your parents/carers and the victim (where appropriate) agree a contract aimed at repairing the harm that has been caused and addressing the causes of the offending behaviours.” (https://unlock.org.uk/advice/referral-order-18/)

The conviction seems to be on permanent record, though, which does seem a bit much for this considering her age.

Unless the character expects to end up in some kind of hell …

Thing is, if you’re trying to bite someone to death the neck is the most natural target (vs. bending down to take a chunk out of their stomach or trying to open the veins in the arms). The difficulty is more in actually getting in range, which realistically would get down to grappling in a fight.

Probably different types of infections you can get from that.

LOL, that’s amazing.

Also, d4 is the damage of a dagger, which is a weapon made specifically to kill people and has a ~25% chance of killing a commoner (who typically has 4 hp) in one hit with just the rolled damage.

I made a shell script titled “update”, it updates system packages, flatpaks and python packages. Too many lines for an alias for my tastes.

The only thing that’s stupid about this IMO is that Skywalker is supposed to be a last name, not a first/given name.

He says his son was eventually issued the passport and the family’s vacation is still on.

He [the father] says his son was eventually issued the passport and the family’s vacation is still on.

Sounds like that office doesn’t know how their own rules work.

Doesn’t work that well when the way is constantly twisting and splitting. Cave layout can be extremely confusing.

Minecraft probably. I avoid legitimate horror games (and movies) and the fact that you don’t have saves can get a little stressful when you’re down in a cave, don’t know how to find your way back (and thus probably won’t find your body) and then basically get jumpscared by dangerous enemies or holes in the ground.

That’s cool, but most people want to keep playing current AAA games.

Do you need a new keyboard and mouse though? Even laptop users usually already have a mouse, and keyboards tend to have good longevity - mine is over 10 years old.

Many people already have a laptop and want to build a PC specifically for gaming, though. Upgrading isn’t all it’s cracked up to be IMO, it’s definitely nice to have but a console lasts the entire console generation (5 years give or take?) if you ignore then mid-gen upgrade which is usually entirely optional.

… can you actually make a PC with comparable performance these days? What does a console-level GPU cost these days?
