Seeing that deploying airbags hit like a fist to the face and regularly break noses, maybe reframing airbags as airbombs would suffice as a deterrent.

Given that I don’t have any personal gain from proliferating biking as a means of personal transportation, I’d rather consider myself a bike preacher.

A decent bike needn’t be expensive. For as little as 300€, you can have a new bike that’ll do just fine for recreational use and simple commutes. Used bikes can usually be had really cheap, too, but for that you’d best know how to check the components and what to look for.

Race bikes, mountain bikes and pedelecs are a different thing, but those are either specialty sports equipment or luxury items.

Either way, (normal) bikes are easy and cheap to maintain, if used correctly.

That’s our rule. We’re seven players and on the day before our regular date, we make a roll call. 3 or more players in means game day, otherwise it’s the next week. Works like a charm.

I use a Moonman/Majohn A2 with De Atrementis Document Black at work daily, so you may want to take my advice with a grain of salt. That being said, I love (!) push-retractable fountain pens for any setting where you write with them at least twice a week so the ink doesn’t dry out. I believe there is close to no buyer’s remorse among those who splurged on a Pilot Vanishing Point pen, and I’ll extend that recommendation to Moonman’s really excellent knock-offs.

As for ever-ready, on-the-go ballpoint pens, a metal body Parker Jotter filled with a 1mm Schmidt easyFLOW 9000 is my conference bag staple for quick, short notes.

Among friends and family who aren’t into fountain pens, I’ve heard lots of praise for the Caran d’Ache 849 ballpoint pen, too.

The original meme template has the guy leaving without looking back due to whatever he sees on the woman’s cupboard, implying that there are private ideologies/hobbies/affiliations so repulsive that you’d back out of a one night stand at the last moment.

In this variation of the meme, what he spots on the cupboard seems to be so attractive to him that they have sex until he is exsanguinated, or “pumped empty”.

Fastest speedrun was like not even 10 minutes.

And that was to beat him. Just reaching him and dying to him should go substantially faster:

• get levitation potions/scrolls
• grab Icarian Flight
• have some form of suped speed enhancement (cumulative potions, Boots of Blinding Speed etc.)
• carefully aim north of Ghost Gate and hop
• rush through Dagoth Ur (location) into Facility Chamber
• whack ol’ Three Eyes and have him demolish you

Property acquisition in the US more expensive than in Europe? I think not, at least for the immense swaths of land that make up most of the US’ land mass.

The legal fees I see, but that’s why most developed nations have legislature for disowning property owners of land necessary for infrastructure at a set compensation. Whether that’s fair or just is up for ideological debate, I’m sure.

It isn’t.

The Commission transmitted a proposal to the European Parliament. The Parliament and the European Council have to discuss and pass the proposal for it to go into effect.

Is there an SCP for this?

You have asked me.

It’d be more fitting to mandate every product to include its ecological price. Disposable vapes, for example, would disappear instantly.

Oooooh, that’s a neat idea in light of the current EU legislation concerning the Right to Repair: Introduce a mandatory, highly visible, and standardized seal that all electronic devices have to display on the front of their box:

Repairable

or

Disposable

My previous sentence sets the principle, your answer rejects the principle on an all-or-nothing basis, my following comment clarifies the application of said principle within the comparatively narrow setting of schools.

I’m not sure what’s left unclear.

It’s not about preventing religious conflicts. It’s about not giving those conflicts a forum at school, the place where children learn to be tolerant from people who aren’t their potentially fundamentally religious parents.

I hope Unity’s legal team is prepared.

I really hope they’re not, because this practice needs to crash and burn brightly as a warning beacon to other corpos’ grubby fingers.

The problem isn’t any spiritual or religious connection the children form. The problem is that most monotheistic religions are very rigid in their exclusive prerogative of interpretation concerning all things fundamental and truth-related.

Having more than one exclusively-dominant religion represented in any one space must lead to unsolvable conflict. Contradicting absolutes cannot tolerate each other.

Given that a functioning state must necessarily assume the role of a sovereign, banning religion from public spaces is pretty much the only solution for preventing religious conflicts.

It’s still a rather bad deal due to the inflated prices for health care in the US.
