I was very doubtful about this when it first came out, but it was really cheap at one point so I gave it a try, even though I don't like spam. This stuff is delicious.

I've been using Linux on and off for years and I've never really understood what these different directories are for. If I don't know where something is I just search for it, though more often than not whatever I'm looking for is somewhere in the home directory. I'm also not sure of the accuracy of this though. I have a VM in /run, and an SSD and thumb drive in /media. I would've expected these to be in /mnt.

Not a good comparison. To produce milk regularly cows must give birth. These calves are often sold to be slaughtered as veal. Likewise situation for eggs. To produce hens farmers typically wait until the chicks hatch and throw the unwanted male chicks in a grinder.

This somehow makes me feel both old and young at the same time.

Thanks. What a shitty news article to not even provide the video (yet still include a completely unrelated random video at the top of the page anyway).

This would be a good move in my books.

I haven't played Final Fantasy Remake because they split the game into 'parts', made PC users wait over a year before they could play the game, then had the nerve to still try and charge full price when they eventually got around to releasing it for PC.

I was very interested in the game, but not that interested.

There are stories I greatly enjoyed as a child that I just can't read anymore with new context.

I remember finding out David and Leigh Eddings abused a child that ended up being removed from their care. I tried rereading their books and only a couple of chapters in there were men discussing the importance of beating a child to enforce discipline. I glossed over this as a child thinking it's just medieval culture, but as an adult knowing that this is evidently something the authors genuinely practiced I couldn't continue.

The Harry Potter series was such a prominent part of my childhood. I remember my teacher reading the books to the class as they came out. I loved every moment and eagerly looked forward to each book release. It is truly a disappointment that someone I held in such high regard has decided that making other people feel bad is how they wish to be remembered.

JK Rowling created a magical world that has evolved and surpassed her in every way.

I agree with this order. TPS is a slog. It is almost entirely comprised of traveling across the map and then traveling back the way you came except everything just respawned. Over and over again.

The 3rd game makes item drops boring. 'Legendary' gear is ludicrously common which makes anything sub-Legendary pointless. There's no excitement when a legendary item drops because they always drop. The story also does not compare with the second, which was awesome, or even the first, which was pretty good.

Borderlands 2 also has a pretty good VR port that I highly recommend.

The reason for that actually makes sense. It's rarely clear how and when someone contracted a prion disease at time of diagnosis, and often it is unclear which specific prion disease a person has. While it may seem that a father contracted a prion disease after you were born, it could also be that the father has an inheritable prion disease that you too may have inherited.

Eating brain/spinal cord is not required to contract a prion disease; prions can also be spread through any biological medium where protein material is located, for instance, blood. This is the reason why those who have CJD or other TSEs in their family are unable to donate blood.

This is also how vampires became extinct.
