   Given the increased importance of having better tech and weapons in modern warfare, maybe the modern equivalent of a mercenary should include private contractors/R&D alongside boots on the ground.

   Ah, I meant to include Castle Crashers, good catch! I didn't know Spelunky has co-op, I'll have to give that a try.

   Co-Optimus is a good resource for finding couch co-op games. https://www.co-optimus.com/games.php?type=couch Some co-op games ones you might enjoy are Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Magicka, overcooked, hammerwatch, Trin

   I think the Yakuza series might be a good example of a game of the "with some Iyashikei" category, while still having a solid core story and gameplay to lure you in to karaoke and Mahjong. Also I think Skyrim fits a similar bill,

   If i remember right the expansion module was included with DK64 which helped ease the pain a bit.

   Maybe the goal was to keep the design and implications of the "Nintendo Playstation" design?

   I think political "losers" (Democrats when a Republican is in office and the reverse) and social "losers" (the disenfranchised, unsuccessful, fringe) are maybe not being separated enough in the title, which seems to be m

   I definitely fell in the latter camp. Working helpdesk there were a couple "Help my Windows 8 PC is in this weird setting and I can't get to my programs" tickets. I don't recall it being as easy as it should have been to

   Aha, found them. The comments of "erewhon" (I think the same guy goes by "Tom Bedlam" on other sites) and "jvoight0205" are particularly interesting. https://m.fark.com/comments/1386759&#x2

    Honestly my intuition is more along the lines of something like the linked comment, but because I lack the technical acumen to for example read the patent and make sense of it my suspicion is I'm being taken for a ride. That being said

    There are a few explanations I can think of, and each of them is rather strange. 1. The whole thing is a dis-info campaign to hook a near adversary into thinking we have spooky next gen technology. This all being public makes me lean this w

    I've heard nice things about the Ricoh GR series for something a little more cumbersome than a phone camera but a lot smaller than a DSLR.

    If you're interested in the history of the Titan missile program and US nuclear program in general I recommend "Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety".

    My understanding is iPhones enable full disk encryption when a pass-code is created, even if it's fairly weak (1112), you can't have a passcode or password and not have full disk encryption. Android Devices past 9 do not support f

    You might like to the top, it's not quite as much exercise as boxvr or beat saber but still a decent bit, and fairly minimal space requirements.

    Sometimes the meaning can be different between the literal or regulatory defined meaning and what people assume or expect. The USDA's minimum for "free range" labeling for example for non-certified organic foods can be met wi

    Thanks for the feedback! The custom field system is intriguing but the rest sounds bad enough that getting people to actually use it would be difficult.

    Aldi and Walmart eggs will sometimes be under a dollar. They seem to compete on staple goods like eggs and milk to get customers in and buying higher margin products. https://www.businessinsider.com/r-exclusive-wal-mart-laun

    Has anyone used Keeper Password manager by chance? We use Azure AD for primary sign in authentication which it apparently integrates with for automatic signin and user permissions management, and the pricing seems good. https://d

    The only market solution I can see would be an increase in gas causing people to buy smaller cars. In 2008 SUVs and trucks did poorly vs sedans and hybrids. For example the Ford F series models sold 690.589 units in 2006 and 413.625 in 2009

    I like the concept of these, bridging the Gap between a small bike/golf cart and a EV like the leaf, but at least for the US they unfortunately would need to be bigger, from a safety and speed perspective, to catch on. Maybe something

    I think religion near the end of life, like the phrase "there are no atheists in foxholes" can be a powerful coping method to give the end of their lives perceived meaning. My Grandma is around that age and has grown more religous

    Going "underground" in Florida is typically prohibitively expensive, but it's possible if you're willing to fudge things a bit. Disney's Utilidoor System is a tunnel system that sits above the water table by itself

    I would keep playing through HL1 and then BM personally. There's some changes like to grunt AI (BM is based on Combine AI) that make the original still worth playing. There's also some features that are broken in the Steam release
