Oh. I just skimmed over it quickly. Thanks.

Nice touch on the polydactyly!

Was Bonawentura a name "gifted" to him, an actual family name, or is it just a coincidence that it sounds hella lot like 'good adventure' in Latin (or some romance language)?

~~True. But the 12 pack is the cheapest option anyway.~~

Nevermind, I got it.

[6] 13.99/6 = $2.3316666666666666666666666666667 per doughnut

[12] 21.29/12 = $1.7741666666666666666666666666667 per doughnut

Did you accidentally divide by the same number in both cases?

Sorry, I'm a bit slow and didn't even check out your name until now.

This is how he opens the door when the pizza delivery arrives, so that the lion doesn't run away.

This bloke.

EDIT: Holy hell, I just realised who I answered!

Yes, but this is why you break bad laws along with another 199,999 people for good reasons.

I broke around the time my coworker started referring to funny videos or pictures as memes.

Ah okay, thanks for clearing it up! I had no idea that double-original-op was actually a thing, and made me question myself about the meaning of the acronym.

 

Sorry if this is not the right community for the question - this was the first one that came to my mind. I'm just wondering if I'm misinterpreting the meaning of the word 'local' in this context; or this is somehow pretty normal and due to the algorithm (in which case I'd like to know this algorithm a little more); or maybe because it's a bug.

UPDATE: I just reloaded the site, thinking I might have just pressed 'next' one too many times, making the algorithm run out of ideas. At the moment I don't see any more Evanston content, however, this has happened several times before, this is why I decided to write here, because it was the 4th/5th time already.

First I just accepted the fact that a bug prevents you from blocking people, but I had enough of toxic teammates today, did some search and neither a regular search nor a reddit focused one brought relevant results. It's like nobody had this bug, but now I'm unable to mute/block people.

The block button is there, you can press it, it even gives a sound effect, but it doesn't turn into a 'blocked' button, and the chaser brats just happily spew their toxicity all game.

Did I miss something? Is it just me? Is there a maximum number of people you can block, or something?

UPDATE: After verifying integrity of local game cache files, it's still the same, so I thought I would contact Epic support. Their upload limit is 9.5MB, which is kinda funny in 2025, but okay, millions of reports (surely), let's just upload the footage to my YT channel and link it as a non-public video (it looks like pea soup already, and it's ~17MB).

Their reply was "Due to system limitations I'm unable to review your video here, but I'll kindly request you to share it in one of our socials mentioned: Here"

The link leads to their website where they offer the following 3 options to upload my video:

  • Reddit (not touching it with a stick, lol)
  • Discord (DISCORD. A feckin' voice+text chat program. For dealing with reports. From a multi billionaire company. I'm not touching it with a stick, lol)
  • X (not touching it with a stick, or anything else in the Universe)

So here we are, they have to believe my word, and if I'm lucky they will pass down the issue to some intern. If I'm not, they will be just waiting until I actually upload it to one of the above 3 atrocious platforms, and then maybe start working on it.

 

This has just happened to me for at least the 3rd time in one year. I cancelled the things I planned for today only to be at home for the delivery; I was sat at home all day and heard nothing. Then, around 2PM I found a red slip saying I should contact Royal Mail for a redelivery (I was at work yesterday when they first ~~tried~~ left a red slip). Obviously my only other day off is tomorrow (Wednesday), and the earliest they allow me to schedule it for is Thursday, so the earliest I can TRY to receive it is an entire week from now. Alternatively, I could have it redelivered to the post office near me, which closes before I could get back from work (EDIT: it ALSO opens after I have to leave for work, therefore completely useless for picking up stuff that arrives on my working day). This is super infuriating now.

Once I even found 2 red slips with different dates in my post box, even though it was empty the night before.

What's going on when this happens?

UPDATE:

So this morning, as a night owl, I decided to make a sacrifice and took an early train to the delivery office (which is open between 8AM and 10AM, but I get it, otherwise the parcels are en route during the day). I asked the guy at the window about it, being fully aware that he might or might not be part of the actual delivery process; not blaming, not interrogating, just simply asking if he knows what the heck is going on.

Yupp, he confirmed what everyone has been commenting about, lol. He didn't have anything other in mind, apart from the afternoon delivery guy cutting corners. I can still imagine it's because they are loaded with work (it happens to be the case at my job) and it's literally impossible to make everyone happy, but management refuses to pay more people. Or he's just lazy. I don't know, but the bottom line is, it wasn't because of some technical nuance, bureaucracy, barometric pressure change in the stratosphere or God knows what. Most likely, he had the parcel but decided to bring the red slip only.

My trust in humanity is in the negatives.

 

On a slightly more serious note: I really wonder what's going on in your mind when you press that button and cross anyway. Is it just because "I don't care", or is there more to it? If so: what?

EDIT: In case it's because you don't care: why do you press the button then?
