What year is it? Locked devices have been illegal in Quebec for, like, ever.

Falcom usually doesn't disappoint.

What would be a solar eclipse though

I do know a few devs who prefer 5 days in the office. But they're absolutely the minority.

Personally, I try to go once a week, but I usually don't because I dread having a day with 50% my normal productivity.

It's just so noisy all the time in there. Open space and really high ceilings for "collaboration"...

Eh, not sure it's got anything to do with the political spectrum anymore. At this point I'm not sure what to call it but the US and allies' obsession for maintaining ties with Israel no matter what feels divorced from... Well, a lot of things, really. But among them the left/right spectrum.

I can't talk much. Canada is also selling Israel the supplies they use to do their mass murdering.

The US has two parties: center-right and far right.

According to the dictionary, 抜き打ちnukiuchi and 抜き付けnukitsuke sound like synonyms. I'm a little confused.

I guess with uchi (to strike down) vs tsuke (to put, attach, etc) one sounds more like the result and the action but it's weird that the definitions from Jisho.org aren't too explicit.

There's also smelting. Japan didn't have the technology to completely melt iron, which complicates things.

Rapiers are a tad more modern, but there is a parallel in how they were a bit of a status symbol and often used for less "normal warfare" scenarios.

Try thinking of a clock. Most screws get tighter when turned clockwise. When time moves forward, your schedule gets tighter. Like the screw.

I'm not sure it'll help, but since it's a rotational reference for a rotational target, maybe it'll help.

Personally I'm constantly drawing circles with my finger like a clock hand and then positioning my hand to face the screw while still drawing circles. It helps a lot.

For now. I suspect some evil person will eventually think of baking in default ads for when it can't connect to the network to get new ones.

I wonder what would happen. Let's say 10,000 people.

Let's say some extremist, highly organized group manages to successfully assassinate the 10,000 richest people in the world, and then disappears without a trace.

I'm guessing those people would all be succeeded by their next of kin. Would that cause a wave of change or...?
