I'd rather see organizations that I can join and DO something rather than give money to. So many organizations will take your money but dont want to talk to you otherwise.

The graphics are trash because I have the "Poor Eyesight" negative trait, which requires glasses to see well. I also got the "Hyperfocus" trait which is a mixed bag. Too bad the skill point for poor eyesight didnt get used so now my character's got the depressed moodle and I cant get him to read a comic book or eat food

Too bad I needed null modem AND m-m gender changer because the usb serial adapter was male, equipment was female, and the null modem was f-f. Hacked something together in each possible config but couldnt get much more than random bytes during the initial hotplug. I the made sure baud etc matched. Might try later with a different serial adapter

Also the dang usb port needs a custom driver

I gave up :•(

Im pretty sure this is Love Quinn from the tv show "You." She is like murder people to get what she wants crazy. I guess the expression is more of an "are you sure about that" or maybe something related to whatever scene this came out of idk, we in the same boat here

Or maybe it was meant to be said with the expectation of a "no youre not" and shes upset because she takes it as him calling her crazy

Usually this can happen when you are owed money by an institution (bank, insurance, stocks, etc) and you either dont claim it, dont get the check, forget about it, or it happens outside of your knowledge (e.g. grandparents set up an account). In the US, you can usually check with your state's Comptroller's office. For example, NY has unclaimed funds under the office of the New York state comptroller

I'd reccomend going directly to the state .gov website and looking there or making sure you have the state website if following a link. They will let you search by name for unclaimed accounts, and then after choosing the one you want to claim, it will ask for ssn, dob and name, etc. If they can verify that information, you get a check in the mail. Ive gotten a few hundred from old insurance that probably settled some account after I'd switched.

I have to purposefully slow down or it gives me 3 in a row and then fails

Because theyre a domain registrar, its not the same process for them. They can essentially pay pennies on the dollar to hold them for several months-a year. I'm not sure if they get it back like a deposit, but it costs them almost nothing. You can complain to WIPO but you might have difficulty getting anywhere without suing and showing something trademark infringement (with a registered trademark)

There are things they do that are beyond that, like if you look up a domain on their website to see if its available and it is, theyll essentially register it for cheap and then hold onto it so you can only buy it from them at an upcharged price, and even if you go to another registrar thats cheaper, you cant register it because they already own it

spoilerI think the problem is underspecified: it doesnt define what happens if they get it wrong. If they get it wrong are they barred from exiting? Or can they make a guess every night? Whats stopping them from all saying blue and the boat leaving with 100 blue eyed people on night 1? Or do they only get one guess?

Also it would have saved more people if the guru had simply stated the counts they daw because everyone could count the other people and then see what color was missing (their own eye color) and they could have all left night 1.

Fear mongering that also misattributes the issue to USB-C rather than Apple's half assed implementation

The American Chestnut was nearly wiped out in the US due to chestnut blight introduced by imported Japanese chestnut trees. Researchers have pursued two main avenues for repopulating the American Chestnut: direct genetic modification / engineering (above link) and cross breeding with Chinese Chestnuts (blight resistant) then re-breeding the result back with American chestnuts. This is to hopefully keep it as close to American chestnuts while also gaining blight resistance.

I've never had chestnuts, even though it used to be one of Eastern Americas most populous trees. I was hoping I could get some and plant them around here and there but we aren't to the point that they're commercially available yet (though available by request)
