This was also my experience when joining the site. Nowadays I appreciate not having the notifications, but when I joined I didn’t realize there weren’t any and I missed some comments I would have preferred to respond to.

Please note I said “This is one of the few times I wish HN notified you of replies”. I’m normally glad it doesn’t notify me for that very reason.

My point is that a brand new user might not know they need to manually check for replies. They’re much less likely to know about some third party utility for monitoring them

The person who used to run the server network I was describing replied to me, but alas I think they didn’t see my reply[1]. This is one of the few times I wish HN notified you of replies. Maybe I’ll run into them again in another decade or

It seems like that would be difficult given its size. It's hard to secure something you can just pick up and walk away with if you can't lock it to something

I don't know of a solution for the types of half-size carts common in small grocery stores, but I've seen people stash their scooters in the space below the main basket of full size carts

hi!!! If you're on Steam still feel free to add me: https://steamcommunity.com/id/stealthpengu1n/ The rope mod was always one of my favorites. I think I asked rACEmic to add it. I have distinct memories of pu

Can you provide an example of how an age verification system wouldn’t require providing some identifying information to the government or a company when accessing content?

Your name seems familiar, and I distinctly remember one regular who would frequently rubber band around due to their ping.

The reason I made my mod was that I ran into the limit of how many keybinds I could remember or quickly access, plus I wanted to be able to make dynamic lists of players and whatnot

They were so good. The owner really put a lot of work into them. There were a lot of WC3 mod servers, but these ones were much more fully featured than most. I've always wanted to ask rACEmic how much of the features I remember were cu

Wow! Of course I remember you! I've actually tried to hunt you down in the past to say hi and thank you for all the good times. I thought I found you on Steam recently. If you see a friend request from a Stealth Penguin ( https:/&

I will forever mourn the general demise of server browsers. Too many games require you to use matchmaking systems, which means it's very hard to build up a small community in-game anymore. You either have to rely on forming small parti

I've been diagnosed and medicated since elementary school. In the time since, I've been involved in two car accidents. Both times I had forgotten to take my meds, which is a rarity for me.

Yes, I think we all understand this. The thing which is confusing is why bother specifying a minimum length of one year if you're allowed to have lesser sentences?

I don't think their confusion was on how numerical comparisons work, it was on how a "maximum term of imprisonment" could also come with a minimum duration. In other words, what does a "maximum term" mean if it&#x27
