While I agree in general, that wouldn't have helped in this case, and likely would have just made things worse. He couldn't draw on the Karen for being a racist piece of trash, and his next interaction was with the police, whom he certainly couldn't have drawn on. Then the cops would have trumped up the charges because he was armed, and he never would have seen the gun again after it disappeared into the evidence locker.

I'm surprised Zombicide (first edition, though I'd be surprised if it didn't also apply to 2e) isn't in this list. The tutorial mission has an estimated play time of (IIRC) 30 minutes. In reality, I find that it's approximately one hour per newbie, or half that per player who knows all of the rules. Plus 30 minutes of setup time.

There's an ancient idiom that explains this perfectly:

"The cobbler's children have no shoes"

Except we're talking about Texas, where Democrats have never held enough power to do any significant gerrymandering. Assuming you're acting in good faith and not just a bot, is it possible that you're failing into the trap of assuming that because one of the most heavily gerrymandered districts (Texas 35th) is blue that Democrats did the gerrymandering?

They didn't. Republicans did, to pack as many blue votes into a single district as possible so multiple others around it could be red. If the districts were drawn fairly, the thin corridor connecting Austin and San Antonio would be red, and multiple districts above and below that corridor would be blue.

That's because the person who had the solution removed their comment history, but the person who said thank you didn't.

Both you and the dress look gorgeous. Awesome job!

This is clearly humor, but for anyone wondering what the actual connection is, it's that Mark Shuttleworth, the billionaire founder and CEO of Canonical (the company that maintains Ubuntu), is from South Africa. He liked the word, and decided to name his new Debian fork after it.
