That was my concern long ago when I entered the game.

The problem is, CIG have financially incentivised themselves, knowingly or not, to never finish the game.

Being alpha game means you can wipe everything again and again. And they do! One thing they do not touch, however, are ships purchased with real world money. And players do buy those ships in order to not start the game from scratch over and over again, and pay a lot for it, in hundreds and often thousands of dollars!

Upon release, on the other hand, no wipes are planned, and this means one thing: revenue will absolutely plummet as players just buy ships for in-game currency instead of actual cash. Releasing the game now is a suicide move, as CIG won't be able to blatantly extort players for their money anymore.

How about all the Russians getting forced in to a war just to die?

Just to clarify: do you suggest to murder everyone who was forced to get onto the battlefield, or do you mean Putin does this to them?

Yeah, normally IBS folks do not have issue with every single group of FODMAPs, it's just a general recommendation to lower them all, then see what can be added without issues.

Good to know xylitol helps! And quite interesting, too.

As per gluten, it's probably not gluten, yeah, but fructans (oligosaccharides, you're right on that), mainly inulin - they can trigger IBS as well.

Sourdough breads should probably feel somewhat better then, as fructans are partially degraded through a long fermentation.

Piracy via torrents.

Called green after μTorrent which previously dominated the sphere of torrent managers.

Nowadays, I'd rather offer qBittorrent, and it's blue :D

System will work, but it will gradually get less and less secure, which can get quite bad.

There is an insane amount of ways to break Windows XP and even Windows 7, it's basically script kiddie's level of knowledge.

And there are real exploits out in the wild that target such systems specifically - while the pool of potential victims is smaller, they're very easy to target unless they are competently firewalled.

As someone who tangentially studies IBS, have you tried to follow a low-FODMAP diet? It doesn't remove everything, but makes it easier and is currently the best approach according to studies.
