Hmm. I made no effort to advertise at all. I came during the Rexodus last year after the API kerfuffle. Initially, it seemed promising, and I didn’t think I’d need to, but activity died down quite quickly. I’ve never moderated a community before or anything like that. I certainly don’t want to it to become a full time job. I have enough of those.

Welcome!

Welcome to the club!

To everyone saying that someone has already said what they want to say: post anyway. You’d be surprised how significant tiny differences in perspective can be.

I did. There’s almost zero engagement. My most popular thread is a meta narrative about me being in there talking to myself. There were at least two other attempts that are even more inactive. Not enough of y’all are into synthesizers.

In Canada, we had “Bleu Nuit”. It was on at 2am, Saturday night, and played racy French movies. The only problem was the movies ran the gamut from 1.5 hour long naked lesbian makeout to a single scene with boobies somewhere in the middle. You took your chances. I swear there was one that didn’t even show anything (but probably talked about sex. Dunno, I don’t speak much French.)

A lot of people say Star Wars is a blatant rip off of Dune. Yeah, only Lucas skipped just about everything that made Dune relevant.

It’s not supposed to do anything. It is literally a “tap” on the screen.

I would look at that, but I bounced off VIM hard, so probably not for me.

the death of Atom

I’m still in mourning.

I cheated and looked up a map of Europe, and that country is named “Russia”. Haha!

Bangai Oh! Had custom levels you could load by playing a sound file into the mic on the DS. Wild stuff!

Playing through Baldur’s Gate 3 now, and I see what they did. It’s sex up front. Within the first couple of hours you’re boinking your interest. It’s not until act III - potentially dozens of hours later - when you get to the actual romance part of the relationship. It’s an interesting take. At least with the couple of romance plots I’ve seen.

Ahh, but with a billion, you would be important enough.

I also have no clue whether Ethiopians need any rice

The Ethiopian famine was 30 years ago. Not that they haven’t had troubles off-and-on since then.

Sleep with pornstar. Excessive hush money. Boom!

Soju is the same thing as what we used to call “fortified” wine like Great White. It lures you in with 20% alcohol being sneaky enough to not immediately buzz you like liquor which then lowers your guard until suddenly you’re black-out drunk singing 80s Nami songs in the nearest noraebang. OH YEONG WON HAN CHINGU! OH HAENGBOK HAN MAEUM! OH JEUL GEO EUN INSAENG! YEAH!

Daft Punk weren’t really very good songwriters, but they made up for it by being fantastic producers.

Smaller quantities shouldn’t be too hard to sell. 16.5 million worth would definitely be a bit of a logistical problem. I’m sure a bank would help you out with an amount that large.

Your average shoebox is 35X23.5X13.5 cm, or 11103.75 cubic centimeters. The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm^3. You can fit 11103.75X19.3 = 214302 grams of gold in a shoebox. One gram of gold right now is $77.78 US. That’s 214302X77.78 = over 16.5 million US. There are things significantly more valuable (but not more fungible) than gold, too. The Pi million pill is completely moot. Or just take both, I guess.
