I was going to use communities as my examples due to the relatively small size of each, but decided country was a better metaphor due to each instance’s ability to fully control their own rules or “laws”, where as communities in the real world are usually beholden to the higher laws of their countries.

No, each instance is more like a country with it’s own laws, and trade agreements with other countries to share or block content.

I see several non white middle easterners in that picture.

Most Israelis aren’t white.

I still couldn’t afford that apartment in a million years.

Neither could they, it was rent controlled due to Monica’s grandmother living there, and they illegally kept her name on the lease for the cheap rent.

And Chandler made good money, so he could afford the smaller 2 bedroom.

Also I still run windows 10, so could be different operating systems.

Could be crossfire.

I have a Ryzen 5 5600X, Radeon 5700 XT, 32 GB RAM, and run it off an SSD.

The game runs great on ultra on my system, and I didn’t do anything but install the latest Radeon driver.

I personally really like the gameplay, and the story and world are very interesting to explore.

I do like a fairly wide variety of games including Soulsbourne, metroidvanias, 4x, sims, shooters, even sports games. So maybe I just like everything.

I agree with the other poster, I’ve really enjoyed Hogwarts Legacy.

And I find the gameplay to be pretty good; the combat can be approached in multiple ways due to spell variety, there are a decent variety of puzzles to do (though some only become accessible fairly late in the game), and I enjoy the different side stories throughout the game. Also Hogwarts castle is gorgeous, and lots of fun to explore.

Works beautifully on my desktop on Ultra settings. What hardware are you running?

I imagine for a long time eating was the preferred disposal, don’t waste any calories when food is scarce.

Yep, Bing is pretty solid as far as search engines go.

But isn’t it the best distro?

Palestine didn’t exist as a state and never did until the same time as Israel. That land was part of the Ottoman empire, and then the British mandate. before that it was controlled by various empires throughout history. Both the Palestinians and Israelis are indigenous to that land, and if Palestine and other Arab nations hadn’t tried to wipe out the Jews in 1948 the moment Israel was established, maybe Israel wouldn’t be trying to take what’s left of Palestine.

And no, I’m not trolling you, I think you’re an idiot.

Jews are indigenous to that land as well, so no they aren’t colonizing it, they are living in their homeland.

Hamas is targeting civilians, or are you forgetting the 1,400 Israeli civilians killed on Oct 7th, and hundreds taken hostages, not to mention the thousands of rockets fired before and since Oct. 7th at Israeli civilians.

The only reason more Palestinian civilians have died is not for lack of Hamas trying. Israel is just better at defending the own people than Hamas is.

Hamas is actively trying to genocide Israelis. Hamas is evil, it’s not complicated.

And well worth the extra cost if you can afford it.

And most women on Earth don’t do any strength training, and are much smaller than the average man.

Hell I was way stronger than the vast majority of women I knew well before I started any strength training, my point was a few months of training had me on par with the strongest women in the world in my weight class.

The disc copy of Fallout 3 will not install on new windows due to games for windows no longer working. At least last time I tried to install it that was the case.

Testosterone is a hell of a lot of the explanation though. When people inject more testosterone they get a hell of a boost to muscle development and strength.

Although past sexual selection may have led to women being smaller and having less testosterone and ability to develop muscle mass, it does not change that women are indeed smaller and have less testosterone and ability to gain muscle mass than men, leading to the average woman being slower and physically weaker than the average man. My replies have been directed at the assertion earlier that men only hold records because of outliers, and the average man and woman are close in strength and speed, but that is just not true.

I started getting the 5 second delay 2 weeks ago as well. Started out of nowhere and I thought it was my connection at first, but nope, only YouTube has this issue for me, and only in Firefox.
