Given its scarcity, helium should be more expensive, to the point where filling party balloons with it is decadent profligacy.

It’s not meant to be funny, it’s meant to be a salve to a specific kind of soul. If you don’t feel the effects, that kind of soul isn’t yours.

This would be one of the submarines China is hiding in the sea?
Campism is a hell of a drug
A miserable little pile of secrets, but only if it’s featherless and bipedal
Ireland has been independent for about a century and outside the Gaeltacht, everybody speaks English, and yet Irish (i.e. Gaelic) is still taught to all pupils and used on official documents. In Wales (which, for most administrative purposes, is a part of an entity known as England-and-Wales), signage has to be in both English and Welsh, and official agencies have to provide services in Welsh; there are few monolingual Welsh speakers and anecdotally the popularity of Welsh of said to alternate generationally (i.e., if your parents don’t speak it, it’s cool).
Representation is important in a pluralist democracy, and the people who want to eliminate minority language support to “better fund schools and hospitals” or whatever generally aren’t in favour of funding public services either (much in the same way that those who want to kick foreigners out to “help our own” overwhelmingly tend to be against actually helping our own), but “let’s get rid of te reo to fund tax cuts for the rich” doesn’t sound as compelling
Is anyone tracking Harris’ polling against Clinton’s from the same time 8 years ago?
They made some shitty tap-the-screen game with collectibles for the iPhone maybe 10 years ago, though the less said about it the better. My guess is that it was a fuck-you to Takahashi-san.
Going by Apple’s transition from Intel to ARM, an ARM-based Steam Deck would be a no-brainer. They could make it a lot less bulky, ditch the cooling fans and still bump up performance.
ARM64 is already here (Apple have replaced Intel with it, and Windows PC vendors are following suit), it’s just, as William Gibson put it, not evenly distributed. Mainstream high-performance ARM devices are imminent in a way that RISC-V isn’t yet.
Proof that even God reuses textures
You can have reenactment of actual historical events with your character inserted as the hero, or you can have a vivid open world, but not both. AC 3 goes for the former and has the vibe of being embarrassed of being a lowly entertainment product and aspiring to be one of the worthy but dry educational “games” you’d get to play on the school computers.
The Brits? Try the Third Crusade.
To the vatniks, he was just another “amer”, like the ones ransomware gangs target: soft, fat, stupid, greedy, barely human and deserving only of contempt. For a while he was a useful idiot, gullibly thinking he could be an Orc like them, but once the amusement value wore out, it was time to get rid of him.
The original one and the two Ezio games which followed are both worth playing. The American Revolution one ran on rails a bit too much to be fun.
