Almost anyone [with the funding] can run for office

FTFY. I'm not independently wealthy and can't afford to quit my job and campaign for office, even locally. Nor am I interested in selling myself out to corporate interests to get the funding I would need.

It's easy to be holier-than-thou behind a keyboard, though. Why don't you run for office?

Maybe they should stop platforming these geriatric fucks and make space for the next generation then.

The cylinder must remain unharmed

From the sidebar:

Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content.

Emphasis mine.

What is it, then? Maybe a convection oven?

Idk, not sure I really want to live in a post-apocalyptic world. Life is already hard enough as is.

That's exactly where I learned about it! They ran it as a worldbuilding tool for the Ethersea campaign.

I was under the impression that OnePlus was starting to wind down its operations, so I'm kind of surprised by the new product announcements we're getting now

How does half a pickup truck compare to a large boulder the size of a small boulder?

Not exactly what you're looking for, but this reminds me of The Quiet Year:

The Quiet Year is a map game. You define the struggles of a community living after the collapse of civilization, and attempt to build something good within their quiet year. Every decision and every action is set against a backdrop of dwindling time and rising concern.

The game is played using a deck of cards – each of the 52 cards corresponds to a week during the quiet year. Each card triggers certain events – bringing bad news, good omens, project delays and sudden changes in luck. At the end of the quiet year, the Frost Shepherds will come, ending the game.

The game occupies a niche somewhere between a ttrpg and a board game.

Interesting. Seems like a natural next step from the recent color mixing features Bambu/Orca slicers (I assume if it isn't already in Orca, it will be soon).

I did, but go off I guess. It's fucking creepy to put a recording device at the dinner table, regardless of whether it's a 'dumb' recording device or some bullshit slop device.
