Lots of people I know use their iPhones to take pics in wet environments, and push the water proofing to the limit.

Huh. That explains why in Portugal hearts is called "copas". Also in Portugal diamonds are called "gold". The design is the French one, but the names stayed the original ones.

All these designs have the same origin in tarot cards, they just evolved slightly differently.

Reading more about it, it seems like these are the original Latin suits, and the French tried to, and succeeded, in replacing them.

I'm pretty sure this table is incorrect. Swords, spades and cloves are the same. Sticks, clubs, acorns are the same.

Transferring your account to another person is against the TOS of most services.

I mean, it's still against it. But I can't see how they'd enforce it, unless valve starts demanding IDs. I'm afraid for a post-gaben era where Valve might just do that...

Does it? Not 1 single green thing in sight? For a work cafeteria I would hope for a balanced meal.

Edit: my bad, the pool of cream has some green bits in it, so it's technically a salad. Carry on.

Germany is way too liberal in what they call a "salad"

And that seems to be the crux of this whole mess. We conflate Jews the ethnicity, Jews the religion, Israelis, the Israel state and the Israeli government, and you either accept that the whole package is totally just, or you're an antisemit...

I'm the opposite. I will write literally a book of poetry for the tiniest feature to justify my pay raise at the end of the year.

Yes but we get to choose the bloat we want. Windows uses need bloat to cover up the native bloat.

I wish. I use vscode which sucks up most of my resources (basically a terribly inefficient IDE running on elotron...). 32gb and it still not enough to run my dev environment decently.

Try living in a place that isn't a shithole and your face will fall so quick. Newsflash, car is the best option in a car centric system.

Not everyone is aware of the cultural particularities of American cities. My idea of crime of crime in NYC is fangs in the 80s.

I played TF Mars many times and never took that long. Actually I found it to be in my sweet spot of complexity and time. But max 4 people.

But I totally get you. I have this friend who has a very peculiar way of explaining games. He explains the strategy instead of the lore and mechanics. I need to understand the mechanics first not the strategy. And he easily takes 1 hour to explain a game like Mars....

Yes totally make sense. The way I would TF Mars would be like "so this is a game where we play as corporations trying to develop mars. The goal is to make points by etc etc". He would explain it like "so there are these cards, cards can have these types, there are these projects, here's how you can make projects". The whole time I'd be like "why do I need this?" and everything just makes sense at the end.
