I almost never have any form of cash on me, and it's been that way nearly since when I moved to London UK about 10 years ago. London is a very cashless city - all public transport is most cost effective with contactless payments and many shops don't accept cash.

By contrast, Outer Wilds, another game with environmental puzzles left a much stronger emotional resonance and still remains one of my favorite games to date.

It was very pretentious but it was a good game with some clever puzzles. How the puzzles eventually get embedded in scene dressing was pretty clever. But it's just a decent game just about good enough to stand out in a crowded field, not something to build a cult of personality around.

Pokémon might be the worst impacted because it's seen as dominated by collectors over active players of the game. The secondary market valuation of individual cards in games like Magic are tied more strongly to how playable a card is rather than how attractive it is to collectors as an art piece.

TCGs in general have scalpers problems with Pokémon being known as the worst due to the game's popularity with adult collectors. Other TCGs like Magic also see absurd secondary market prices for collector products like Final Fantasy collector boosters, but non-collector products less impacted.

EoE is a good drafting set with some good cards staple like shocks lands and quantum riddler, but hasn't got a reprint yet? Maybe they just re-printed enough to meet demand for FF finally.

Believe me, its lightning fast compared to what we used to have and has been helping drive compile time improvements in rustc.

To be clear I imagine it's overwhelmingly chromium users, but probably have a non-insignificant number of Firefox users.

Looks like their playwright test suite only tests chrome. Disappointing that they don't test Firefox nor Safari despite their userbase probably being disproportionately Firefox users, nor that they didn't immediately rollback their release after the first verified report

I struggle to understand why someone interested in business is not better advised to say study computing, engineering, or even art history (wherever your passions might be) and then try to get a job that exposes you business commercial concerns, or logistics or something.

Kind of struggling to see the practical usecase or why you would want to encourage this kind of use of string properties on arrays? Also isn't the underlying "problem" basically solved with symbols? The readme doesn't really explain why I would ever want to do this.

How well is keeping this specific pledge going for them so far? All they are doing is setting themselves up for more failure with a hodge podge of inefficient and likely politically unpopular tax rises and cuts that harm us economically and annoy a multitude of interests.

They are mad, this is starting to feel like it might end up being an omnishambles budget where end up causing more political and economic harm by annoying a multitude of interests simultaneously than just doing the sensible and least harmful thint and of just raising income taxes.

The thing that is mad is just how much of an overreaction this is by the establishment. His policies aren't esp radical and ultimately this is a single elected office in a single state in a single city. Racism is the safe explanation because his policies and the power of his office don't stack.

Guildford is 300 million in debt and just about keeping out of section 114, Woking is 2bn in debt and under Section 114. 500 million is welcome relief for Woking, but this new larger entity might end up having a debt profile that immediately puts it into Section 114?
