I wouldn't even joke about it and find the practice abhorrent even as a joke, but it was done to my wife (we believe) without prompting. No sex at all until cleared by the OB/GYN she saw regularly (not the doctor who did delivery or suturing) and after the first time I made her ask if anything was different and the OB/GYN told us the suturing appeared to have been done wrong because there was an overhang and scar tissue. Second episiotomy with the second child, different doctor at a different hospital, everything was fine after the healing, so it seems like we just got shit luck with the first one

I paid attention to that and my page when I signed up said that sign-ups closed and the queue randomization began at 10am Pacific, and the email would be sent when the queue randomization concluded, then the emails for people who made it onto the launch batch queue would begin receiving emails on the 29th. At 9:47am Pacific on the 26th I received the email saying I was in queue and would receive the email to purchase when my queue spot was reached. Just under 24 hours seems a pretty reasonable time for randomization and sending out the emails, especially given the already announced 3 days before the purchase emails even go out

My Roku TVs have been so shit, riddled with ads to the point that they lagged on start, for so many years that they've both been factory reset without internet connectivity and set to boot directly to other hardware that runs the only app I used on the damn things better than they did despite being $40 purchases

Corporal punishment was also opt-out at my elementary school in Virginia in the early 2000s, maybe late 90s? I don't really remember which school year it was, just that one teacher in particular had multiple paddles engraved with her name and speed holes, and I did witness them used on classmates

Yeah, pretty much all of them are built that way, and if they get tilted you're supposed to wait an hour at the absolute barest minimum, preferably 4-6, and ideally 24 hours, because the oil can work its way into the bits that actually compress and if you turn it on with barely compressable oil in the parts that are meant to compress gas it can just die

In junior year, brand new at the nice newly built charter school that had the first day start at 11am because the building crew was literally still there putting in last minute stuff, and a lot of it still didn't work until they finished finished over the next weekend. That one had a blurb about how some states called it War of Northern Aggression.

Sophomore year, though, that was the actual title of the section, and I don't remember how old the books at that school were because the only thing I remember from that year other than course material is hearing a teacher say, obviously in earshot of students since I heard it, that no one was gonna bother to fix the fire alarm because the district zoning made our school "the ethnic dumping ground" (exact words)

That's what the test is, as it seems to be primarily designed for workstations that need rapid swappable GPUs, but the point of the article is that it's a new port that could be included on things like laptops and provide the GPU at 97.7% bandwidth, basically yes a riser cable, but that's a 50+% increase over the best available eGPU solutions for laptops, which does seem like a pretty good increase

Agreed, but an important thing to note is that list of games is smaller than a couple years ago, and I believe many of the ones that were removed because the DRM was removed are listed at the end. A couple of those were just mistaken releases, but several were allowed on GOG by CDPR with DRM fully intact, most notably Hitman 1 with an always-online requirement, and several others had DRM fully intact and were removed only when enough people complained. My point isn't and never was "GOG is bad too, actually"; GOG remains the first place I look when I'm looking for a game, and I install it with the offline installer, which gets archived on the NAS once I've established it works and I reinstall the game with Galaxy because cloud saves and auto updates are convenient. My point was that, while ABSOLUTELY a rarer occurence than on Steam, GOG officially DOES allow DRM for single player games, and it's only vigilant complaints that keep that list small
