K2 is an incredibly dangerous mountain. The possibility of a rescue attempt would depend on many factors that we have no way to know. In these sorts of situations even other climbers nearby might have a complete different opinion. In many cases like this people are often not thinking correctly believing they saw something that wasn't even there or just completely misperceived due to attitude or exhaustion or illness.

70%/30% victory last I looked which is absolutely massive and a crushing defeat of this GOP cynical attempt to repress the will of the people.

Not long ago I think many people felt certain rights were theirs forever and never going to be lost and so there was no reason to fight. Watching what happens when a supreme court made up of people who promised congress that they would repost precedent and that Roe was settled law turn out to be corrupt liars and religious nuts with no underlying principles except those that support what they want at the moment was an extreme wake-up call. At least I hope so.

Similar to their strategy of repelling drone attacks with their buildings.

Looking interesting. https://infosec.exchange/@Teri_Kanefield@law-and-politics.online/110816727401249797

Now that's a great idea. I've been using NextDNS which works quite well and I stay in its free usage cap, but still being self-reliant is better. I'll check that one out.

I work with a small nonprofit that years ago was donated Photoshop. Over the years as upgrades happened, the org received new donations in one way or another to keep it current enough that it was still helpful. Even with a legit corporate donation of the software the license for it was a pain to deal with. At one point when it needed to be reinstalled it was no longer possible and I told the org to just forget about it. Last time I talked with Adobe to try to get it working, which they refused to do, I ended up telling them I would never use an Adobe product willingly again. I personally learned Gimp at that point and while I only use it from time to time it does the job and as you say, it is always there, always works, has plenty of online help and does anything that I need it to do.

Just like beingoff corporate social media, I try to use FOSS as much as is reasonable because while it may have rougher edges at times, it can actually be more reliable. I manage some servers as part of my job and over the years the licensed stuff, Windows server, Exchange, VMWare at some point will bite you back with a dead end or major costs where as Debian...

I have not been back to play D1 or D2 since the olden days but I know I played D2 a lot more. Great memories. I picked up D3 very late and played through once and lost interest - it just felt bland. When D2R came out I was excited for a min but after watching a few reviews decided to leave my nostalgia alone.

Now D4, I really wanted to wait to get it but I could not resist. My feelings echo yours and I struggled to even finish the story and I have not gone back yet. I played a lot of PoE over the years and the sense of progression with power, builds, and mechanics, you get from can be amazing. It has its rough edges but it has a satisfying payoff (up to a point). D4 has no payoff at almost any stage, at least for me. And according to my memory didn't have the gameplay enjoyment of D2 and not close to PoE.

Maybe you'd like to explain then.

"Once HB 2127 goes into effect in September, local ordinances mandating water breaks for workers outdoors in cities across the state, which the Observer writes contributed to a "significant decrease in annual heat-related illnesses and heat deaths," will be overturned and localities will be barred from passing new ones."

That's an interesting perspective, thanks for sharing it.

Yes, it is definitely impossible to create a system that confirms a user's selection. It is also impossible to make it so you can resume the subscription if accidentally canceled... or maybe, just maybe there is another reason why they want it the way it is.

Well, not to mention, Afghanistan had a few other knock-on effects on the, um, former Soviet Union.
