My dad cracked three ribs while surfing in his 20s. He caught a wave much larger than normal, fell off his board near the top and landed flat on his back.

I almost did before the outage. Their pay was pretty low compared to similar positions at other companies though.

Magic carpet 2, the Netherworlds is one I played a ton and think of from time to time. I wonder what I modern remake would be like.
It’s the first game I remember playing with deformable terrain.
So did most of my friends, but I checked multiple times and confirmed that I had nothing. I would have been a lot less annoyed with them if I had received an email and missed or ignored it. For whatever reason, the notifications never made it to me.
I’m one of those people. I haven’t played in years. I may never have played again. I only found out because my daughter is now at an age where she asked if we could play together. I received no notice from Microsoft and I don’t do social media so it was a complete surprise to me when I couldn’t log in, then find out through their support that I had lost access to something I had legally paid for.
I worked at a grocery store in 2003 in California for a short time. I joined just after a major strike had ended. As always, the company was pushing for lower wages and benefits, the union wanted higher. They came to an agreement with a two tiered system, tenured employees got to stick with a pay scale and benefits slightly better than what they’d had before.
New employees got fucked.
A couple months in I was promoted to cashier from bagger and got to see the two tiers. I was starting at $18 per hour, the original tier started at more than double that and went up pretty high.
Not really related to your comment, but I’m a little drunk after a rough day and seeing those amounts just really fucking pisses me off. My numbers are not adjusted for inflation and wages have gone down for the job I did in the last 20 years. It’s fucking maddening.

First time I’ve seen something from my home area pop up on Lemmy. CCB is a solid brewery.
I started off really enjoying the series, but eventually had to abandon it as he kept adding increasingly over the strawmen who’s sole purpose was to be blown away by the might of Randian Objectivism.
Absolutely. Anansi boys is my personal favorite of his, but I think highly of all his books.
GameStop bought them a couple of years ago. That was the deathknell.
I’d second all three.
Neil Gaiman is absolutely one of my favorite authors and from what I’ve seen, a pretty great human being as well.
I loved Orson Scott Card’s books when I was younger, even the later Ender books. Unfortunately he’s also a pretty terrible person much like Rowling.
It was pointed out to me today that if you put 710 into a calculator and turn it upside down, it spells oil.
(Do kids still do that kind of thing?)
I never even received an email. I haven’t touched Minecraft in years, probably never would have again, but my daughter is getting into it and I thought it would be fun to play with her. I found out about the migration when trying to troubleshoot why I couldn’t log in.
I tried to contact support and they told me that they had “widely communicated the migration through email and social media” and that because I had missed the migration window, I would simply have to buy a new copy. I double and triple checked. No emails regarding the migration and I’m not on social media.
Found out a year or two ago that a kid I was kind of friends with was convicted of a murder about three years ago. He and two others killed a guy, chopped up his body, and dumped it in a lake.
Small consolation, the only reason they know about the murder is because the guy I knew had a guilty conscience and made a full confession to the police out of the blue one day. Yes, drugs were very much involved.
Thanks for letting me know. I was able to pull out the proper link from the mess and edited my post. Please try it again and let me know.

If anyone is interested in the actual study, I believe this is it. Only had time to give it a real quick skim. Sorry for the nasty Google link.

I used to do penetration testing and only got to dabble in physical penetration testing a couple of times. Hell of a lot of fun.
For anyone reading this chain and interested in hearing more, this is a pretty fun interview with someone known for doing physical presentation testing.
They actually have a fairly comprehensive training program setup through their “University.” They also mix in foreign contractors, usually from China.
