At my local renfaire I occasionally see girls dressed up as blue avatar aliens. I'm not opposed 😄

But I always need to double-check if they're dressed up as an alien or as Mystique

Pretty much all games, even online MMO, live service and other games already have the capability to spin up a custom server or run solo and offline. How do you think the developers run the game while coding and testing? They just spin up a container on their machine. The added cost of polishing that or wrapping an installer around it should not be high.

So, it's "Xeeting" now instead of "tweeting" or simply "posting"?

Good. And I hope HBO faces similar backlash over the new Harty Potter TV series.

Why not just turn off voice mail?

Yes, but it seems from the study that the increase in tire dust is smaller than the refuction in brake dust

Small phone, big hands, old age 😂

Battery Electric Vehicles reduce brake dust by up to 83%

Querty with ANSI layout, not ISO. I hate ISO layout.

Electric cars also reduce particulate dust. Because of regenerative braking they need to brake less often and less agressive. There was a study published just kadt week.

My solution is to feed my cats in the evening, not in the morning.

Coulld be worse. My old cat would do this too, but if you didn't react, she would start to chew on your hair right next to your ear to wake you with the horrible crunching sound.
