My family has always done roasts for the winter holidays. It’s definitely a thing

Arguably, they could be really good anglers, but they only keep the magikarp because everything else gets sent to market.

Gamefreak doesn’t likely get the ultimate say in the release schedule, frankly. Pokemon as a franchise is much, much larger than the games at this point—it’s got comics and movies and the anime and the card games and spin-offs and merch and all sorts of other moving parts that The Pokemon Company has to synchronize,…

Just based off this article, it looks like she’s already found manufacturers, so while the turnaround might be a little slow, it isn’t like she’s going to be making 20,000 sets on her own by hand. This seems less to be a one-time kickstarter push for pre-orders as much as an actual attempt at crowdfunding a proper…

I’m not legal, but information systems for a clinic, and pretty much every step of this looks like a violation. Even if you have a legitimate professional reason to see, say aggregated data on menstrual cycles, that data should be entirely de-identified and obfuscated, which this does not sound like. Even if it was…

As someone who works with and supports accessible technology, I can say with some confidence that modern screen readers and visual accessibility software handles OS interface just fine. Just like any piece of software, it relies on the individual software/web developers to ensure things like text and images are…

There’s also another hint system built in: You often find a person’s lost items where they were standing in the previous month cycle. My fiance and I are playing through together and have never had much trouble. There’s usually only 3-4 we have to brute force a little bit. Where you find stuff is as important as what…

Well it’s sure convenient that people living in America pay taxes and start businesses of their own, then. It’s almost as if we have some sort of public system for this.

Retail exclusivity exists in most major industries, though, and whether you like the concept or not, it isn’t about to go away. I’m also not confident Valve wouldn’t love some store exclusivity for third party developers, but as far as I can tell Valve doesn’t really offer developers anything but a shelf to put their…

I can’t speak for everyone, but I sure as hell cared about shit at age 10. I got so into local nature conservation I joined an international conservation group and built bat houses to hang around the neighborhood (with permission, of course). These days I mostly just donate to groups like NDRC once a year or so, but I…

Yeah, this is definitely a big part of it—if not the main reason. Even with a decent enough job and insurance and some savings, it still only takes one bad day to lose everything. Years of careful saving and planning and work just for an adequate existence can be wiped away in an instant from something as minor as a…

The doctors who will oppose single-payer already do, but anecdotally as someone working in a medical support field, I don’t know a single provider of any level that’s attached to the private insurance system. To them, it’s just something standing in the way of practicing medicine.

As a kyuudo practitioner, I’ll add that Hanzo struggling to hold his bow a full bend is actually also pretty common practice in kyuudo. Practically speaking, of course, you’d probably use a weaker bow in combat, but when practicing or for events/tournaments/rituals/etc (and, therefore, when the devs may or may not…

I was going to say this, too! If you’re in a pinch and have a government student loan, definitely call you lender up and see what they can do for you. They can put it into forbearance or change your payment plan to something more doable. Most are pretty reluctant to let you switch to a slower repayment, but it doesn’t…

Minors are not only allowed to travel alone, they’ve been doing it for as long as airports have existed. There’s no reason they had to detain these kids, especially considering they had an adult family member with them until CBP arbitrarily decided his visa was no good.

It’s probably not calibration, since you can manually calibrate Switch controllers and that didn’t help at all with mine. It did give a me a nice clear look of what the controller thought it was doing, though.

Anecdotally a bit under half of the people I know with a Switch, including myself, have had at least one controller start to drift. Some happened after a few months, mine didn’t start until a couple of months ago, and I got the Switch not long after it first launched. Even if it’s only like 10% of Switches that have…

Yeah screw that, I take exceptional care of my switch and all of my electronics, but the left stick started drifting anyway. This is way more widespread than mistreatment damage.

Yeah, I hate how expensive joy-cons are, but they’re also far and away the easiest controllers to do maintenance or repairs on modifications to.

I’ve only ever gotten drift on my joy-cons, which I mostly use connected to the switch in handheld, and fixed it by replacing the joystick assembly, so it probably isn’t bluetooth related. Most folks online seem to think it’s dust or other contaminants getting into the contacts and messing them up, since the joycons…
