Welcome to the world of Monster Hunter.

The idea was one computer on the LAN would hold the “talking stick” (the token) and transmit whatever data it needed to, then pass the token off to the next computer in the ring. If a computer received the token and didn’t have anything to transmit, it’d just pass on the token. The problem would be detecting when one of the computers in the loop had gone offline or crashed and taken the token with it. After some amount of time with no traffic, some system was responsible for generating a new token and an amended turn order. Similar problems existed when a new computer wanted to get added to the rotation.

Topped with an extra large dollop of Russian dressing.

Interesting use of terms. In Discworld Dwarven society, being lowborn would be a good thing and while being high born is only one step below surface dweller. The dwarves are ruled by the Low King (or Queen). The lower you are, the deeper you are in the mine, and the more rich and important you must be.

Midnight Suns did a really good job with the Marvel tactical combat concept. Let’s see how this compares.

At a townhall in Pennsylvania Monday night, he stoped taking questions early and just played music and “danced” on stage for 40 minutes.

I’m guessing those names come from the very top.

Even in death, nobody makes more popular public restrooms than me, trust me folks.

It’s standard practice for the prosecution and the defense to let the judge know how long they’ll need to prepare for the case. The more evidence the prosecution has compiled, the more time the defense can reasonably request to go through it.

The lines for the two controller ports are duplicated on the NES’s expansion port, so this device is able to send inputs into the NES as if it were a real set of controllers. I’d call it a neat hack, but it doesn’t require any hardware modification to the system other than removing the expansion port cover, so it feels much too clean to call a hack.

Boss makes a bar, I make a strip.

It punches way above its weight, too. 340k subscribers for a channel that posts 2-3 times a year with workplace safety videos. They do a good job explaining technical issues to the layman, though, and put effort into their animations.

You may be thinking of Toby Keith, who died in February.

Foreign nationals are prohibited from donating to Trump’s campaign fund. There’s no rule against them buying a dozen overpriced watches, though. They may not even be upset that their order is never delivered.

I think the first thing I remember seeing her in was Sister Act, where she played the unnamed Reverend Mother of the convent.

A targeted strike should not have this much collateral damage.

No one’s said pineapple yet? Hawaiian is a staple pizza variety.

Dispatch, suspect is asking if we know who they are. Contact the local Alzheimer’s care facilities, see if they have any runaways.

It’s not intentional gerrymandering the same way that can happen when laying out congressional districts every 10 years, but it’s a form of gerrymandering from where the state boundaries got drawn. In addition, smaller population states have a disproportionate number of electoral votes, because every state gets 2 votes from their senators + a number of votes from their House members proportional to their population (minimum 1 representative, so minimum 3 total.)

Other than Nebraska and Maine, that splits their electoral votes, its winner take all within each state, so if you win a state by 1 million votes or just 1 vote, either way you win all of the state’s electoral votes.

Someone ran the numbers, based on the 2012-2021 congressional map, and worst case, you could win the popular vote 78.7% to 21.3% and still loose the election.

The Republicans have won the presidency three times this century, but have only won the popular vote once, on George W. Bush’s second campaign in 2004. The Electoral College screwed us over in 2000 (Bush vs Gore) and 2016 (Trump vs Clinton).

The Deomocrats have also won the presidency three times this century, but also carried the popular vote every time they did. (Also, every time they won, Joe Biden has been on the ticket…)
