Longest is 2,700 for a bad review. Oxygen Not Included. The hours come from a combination of things.

I bought it on a whim the first week of early access so years of on and off playing. Mid game gets super slow and with a stable base there is little danger. So que up some dig, sweep, or build orders and go to bed. 20 minutes of play for 20 hours of run time.

Then the game starts to have problems with performance so sort the junk and fill the world with plastic to simplify calculations.

Then there is the runtime I used running a mod that generated a world checked it's stats and sent the info to a map database.

The second one has an ok story and great comedy writing. However it's clever writing that often only works if you are playing the game.

The Claptrap birthday quest is hilarious but can only work if you are the player. The anoying robot throws himself a birthday party and assigns you to deliver the invitations and get the pizza.

A timer flashes on screen and all the locations are marked on the map. So a standard hit all the locations before the timer runs out mission.

Only the timer doesn't start but you probably don't notice or think it starts after the first location. You deliver the invitations and each person declines.

You return with the pizza and then the timer starts. The timer is for how long you have to stay at the party as the only person who shows up.

I loved the idea and humor of the cult management part. Unfortunately most of the the game is terrible hack and slash dungeon combat. I refunded it after an hour.

I've got some serious time in games I gave bad reviews to. In part because I often get interrupted pause the game and don't get back to it until the next day.

Honestly it's better but still a mess of design choices. For open source graphics editor check out Krita.

Trump got about a million less votes than 4 years ago. Harris got about 15 million less. So the population didn't swing right 15 million Biden voters said fuck it and stayed home.

Everyone said this was going to be a close race. So we can't even use the Clinton excuse that nobody thought Trump would win.

She was a bad candidate with no message beyond Trump bad. That was enough for me but not 15 million other people.

There was a lot going on. The final count used had bush up by 537 votes out of 5.8 million cast. The close margin triggered a recount and Bush dropped to 327 vote lead.

Nadar probably cost the democrats more votes then republicans by greater then that 327. But there were other things that hurt Gore. Some intentional some random.

There were ballot design issues. In areas where the butterfly ballot was used Buchanan (who was also a 3rd party candidate) got way more votes than elsewhere. So if you wanted Gore saw him under Bush and selected the dot below you voted for Buchanan. See below.

Bush. O

/ O Buchanan

Gore. O

In another democratic area the ballot had the presidential race split on the front and back page. 21,000 votes were invalidated because they had multiple selections for president.

There was a large purge of mostly black felon voters. 15% weren't felons.

Then there were lawsuits trying to stop and start recounts in both state and federal court. The state supreme court ordered recounts while they decided if the recount should be used. Then they decided the recount should be used and set a date it was du. Then the US supreme court stopped the recount. Several days later they decided there wasn't time for a recount and ordered the Bush ahead by 537 count to be used.

So honestly it probably took all the above to swing the final count to Bush from Gore. I'm guessing if any one had not happened Gore would have been president.

A personal note I live in Florida and that was the first election I voted in. My vote for president has never be closer to making a difference in who was president. It's shaped my views on elections and voting.

We have a conservative party and a very conservative party.

It's a famous quote. The contradiction is intentional. It means democracy has a lot of problems and often looks terrible. However when you step back and consider the alternatives they are worse.

It looks whole lot like a rocket. It's almost like there is a shape that works well for the job.

Seriously. I've abandon my proton vpn account because the linux port forwarding was such garbage. Absolute garbage implementation for an advertised feature.

 
 

A portion of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has collapsed after a large boat collided with it early on Tuesday morning, sending multiple vehicles into the water.

At about 1.30am, a vessel crashed into the bridge, catching fire before sinking and causing multiple vehicles to fall into the water below, according to a video posted on X.

“All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured,” the Maryland Transportation Authority posted on X.

Matthew West, a petty officer first class for the coastguard in Baltimore, told the New York Times that the coastguard received a report of an impact at 1.27am ET. West said the Dali, a 948ft (29 metres) Singapore-flagged cargo ship, had hit the bridge, which is part of Interstate 695.
