While you're waiting, may I suggest Nethack?

They've spent literal decades building puns into the game, among other silliness.

There are even Discworld inspired elements to the game, including monsters and even an entire character role - the Tourist.

Edit: Sorry, didn't catch what community this was, and commented before reading the article (yes, I should know better). I had assumed it was going to be a computer game, rather than tabletop.

7, if you count the large central one, but no way I'm coming up with 9.

Gonna have to disagree with #3 - stopping Vim is not necessary for this. There's the builtin :! command.

Americans used just over 100 ~~trillion megabytes~~ exabytes of wireless data in 2023

Megabytes are absolutely the wrong unit for this amount of data.

Yes, it's legal in much of the US. Many states require a permit for concealed carry, but not for open carry. WalMart has signs at the front of the store "requesting" people not to open carry, but apparently not prohibiting it.

Slow down there - you're making some rather large assumptions about why they have guns. Sure, some people have guns for "self defense" (some for valid reasons, others because racism). Others have them for hunting. Sometimes they're inherited and have sentimental value.

Edit: Also, kids aren't the only reason not to keep them loaded. Keeping guns and ammo separately secured introduces enough of a delay to reduce the risk of suicide, for example.

Not a choice he had to make. The NFP parties agreed on a consensus candidate - Lucie Castets.

The opposite headline would have been more true. This ruling DOES disenfranchise those very same voters for state and local elections.

They won't get to vote on little things like who draws the voting districts, who runs the elections, who certifies (or refuses to certify) the elections. Same for who decides on school book bans, policing priorities, medicaid expansion, or mask bans.

This may be a smaller loss than expected, but painting it as a win is disingenuous.
