We need to stop using language like "deported" in these cases.

That man was kidnapped and put into an out-of-country concentration camp.

This is blatant Nazism. Let's call a spade a spade.

'Scheme' has that connotation in the US, yeah.

I know publications outside the US use it in a much more neutral manner, but it's funny to us.

Nuggets with Sriracha tho

If you haven't played it, Windblown is a good time. It feels very much like a top-down Dead Cells.

A path and a road are similar, yes. However, an impasse is something that is not passable, which is why the original commenter was confused.

Also, the word impasse is more frequently used as a metaphor than its literal definition. Something like "The arguing couple was at an impasse, neither budging in their position."

In addition to what the other players have said, you can also do the "Beneath Cursed Sands" speedrun worlds trick to practice in Mor Ul Rek.

To do this, log into a Speedrun world, then start the Beneath Cursed Sands speedrun.

Use a minigame teleport to get to the Fight Pits, then walk past the fight caves entrance to the fire gate. You should have a fire cape in your inventory to get past the gate.

From there continue to the far end of the cave and talk to the guy sitting on a large throne. After talking a bit he'll offer to have you do a combat test. The first one is against a single Jad.

On your way there, there's a bank chest where you can grab an inventory of gear for the fight including a rune crossbow, food, and potions. Likely a bit under what you'll be using for the real fight, but if you can do it with the crossbow, you'll have an easy time with a blowpipe.

Good luck!!

I also did this while trying to turn the volume up with the phone in my pocket years ago

Admins can enable it in the Teams portal, if that happens, it becomes visible to users

Otherwise the option is hidden

Same - it's pretty fun on a guitar controller if you have one!

Actual Nazi Nick Fuentes is on video saying "that is a genuine, bonafide Roman Salute" (paraphrasing)

Saw that on The Humanist Report's coverage of it today, who, jokingly, tried giving Musk as much "benefit of the doubt" or "leeway" as he could, while citing sources like Fuentes.

Musk is a card carrying Nazi, same as the rest.

Second ABB

It's great for most of the stuff I read

 

I saw the lack of content here and thought I'd share my story

I first discovered IF back in Dec 2018, and did it all the way through the start of 2020. I (5'6") went from 240lb down to 195.

Then well, that thing we all went through in 2020 happened and I eventually stopped. It was also a hugely transitory period in my life and I let my weight come back on. (I moved out of the house, in with my now wife, changed jobs twice, moved again... All in the midst of the pandemic and its related insanity)

Now I'm in a much better spot, but I've put everything I lost back on and more.

That said, I've now gone from 250 to 240. Trying to eat lighter, snack less, and be intentional about my macros. I like sticking to a 16:8 window, but I shorten it if it makes sense on a given day.

I remember the community being a huge motivator, so, Good luck out there!

 

I've missed this series for a long time, and I'll never forgive Epic for dropping it like a baby giraffe.

It plays pretty well on my gaming rig, but I'd love to hear about how it plays on lower-end systems. Maybe I'll install it on my 2-in-1 so I can use the touch screen.
