Previous HR was well beyond retirement age essentially working to have something to do and one day emailed all of management a spreadsheet asking us to verify our information. That sheet contained each of our full names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, social security number, etc.

To my knowledge nothing of significance happened. I have my credit frozen.

He sounds like a wise man. Congratulations on the move and hope you both a great life :)

Kids ask for a YouTube show, I get to evaluate and then they get safe watching

95% is closer to what board game publishers take - best I've seen is 10% for the designer

Granted they have a lot more to lose

From that perspective seems Steam is perfectly fine

Minecraft and other open-ended games without much guidance toward specific goals.

While I do enjoy freely exploring a large open world I also lose track of the point of playing at all... add some quest objectives or something and it's perfect.

For a long time I have not felt belonging to either the Pro Choice or Pro Life groups and recently came across ProGrace which sets politics aside to focus on aiding the woman and meeting her needs directly both during and after her pregnancy regardless as to how she decides to proceed. This got my attention and I have since taken their training course, listened to their podcast and started some of their recommended reading to further my understanding.

In full disclosure I am a white christian male in the southeastern USA who has experienced two unplanned pregnancies myself and after learning of how terribly the church has handled their support of women, especially around unplanned pregnancy, I am looking to work with my wife to educate those within our sphere of influence to address this.

However, as mentioned above, I am a male and so naturally my experience around the issue simply does not compare to the depth of emotion and trauma that a woman would experience and so I am hoping to learn from those here who are or have experienced an unplanned pregnancy to better understand what support is needed to bring women through the traumas associated, overcome the fear and shame around the issue, and just generally help in any way I can.

I know this is a sensitive topic and so I would not ask for sharing directly in the comments here. Rather I am hoping to chat directly whether via Signal, email, etc. or even a quick call for those comfortable with that (can use Jitsi, Signal or another private voice chat to avoid needing to share any personal details). I would like to simply listen to your experience; I will not debate, judge, etc. as my goal is entirely to learn.

Thank you for taking the time to read and consider.

+1 for Minetest

I run a server on our local network that kiddos love

It was fairly simple to setup including which game type and mods

TMB has been on my wishlist for years but the price tag has been too high... this week I noticed it was in stock and a bit of extra funds had came in as well so I decided it was time to finally buy a copy.

The game arrived today and I'm super impressed with the component quality. Even the tuck boxes and other component containers are well beyond the quality I've come to expect in a high quality board game.

Hopefully will find time in an upcoming busy weekend to squeeze in a first play.

We tested some nicer ones for use in an industrial environment where hearing protection was required. They were great and let workers hear clearly while still being able to use their preferred PPE.

Buddy of mine just picked up No Man's Sky on Switch but it lacks the multiplayer features of other systems.

He only has Switch and I only have PC so I've come here to ask:

Aside from Minecraft or Terraria what other games are available on both Switch and PC that we could play cooperatively together?

Also it's totally fine if I need to host a dedicated server for it.

Edit: specifically need PC version playable on Linux and ideally something open world.

SAP

They were transitioning from Oracle SBMS which was bad enough already but SAP... that thing was a nightmare taking dedicated employees (which we didn't have) to account for the additional time needed to enter and manage data

Fortunately I was able to get out before the full switch over; friends that still work there occasionally message to inform how horrible the place has become

Love Jellyfin and kiddos have noticed how much better it is; they often request older stuff they've heard about that's not available elsewhere
