This is me playing games with my teenage kids.

I have been for over 20 years actually! What do I get for winning the bet?

Edit:

One of our games we actually ended up supporting a form of piracy. A huge amount of our user base ended up using cheat tools to play our game which meant that they could get things that they would normally have to purchase with premium currency. Instead of banning them, we were careful to not break their cheat tools and I even had to debug why their cheat tool stopped working after a release.

Piracy was never stealing. It’s copyright infringement, but that’s not the same as stealing at all. People saying it’s stealing have always been wrong.

Yep! As long as I don’t get Covid again?

It happened over a year ago and my doctor says there’s been no change, and to not expect it to get better either.

Absolutely. I heard it non-stop from my dad and my in laws. Listening to them act like it’s nothing even after it gave me partial vision loss drove me crazy.

Not only does my dad think it’s ’like the flu’, he keeps saying it IS ‘just the flu’. He thinks it’s the same virus and people are conspiring to control us by giving the flu a new name and then freaking out over it.

I’m curious how the community feels about Darwin, since it’s technically BSD based.

It sure does. Mines a bit unique afaik though.

I was diagnosed with a swollen optic nerve a few weeks after getting Covid when I realized my vision was going dark in one of my eyes.

They did an mri to rule out any other causes and concluded it was from Covid.

Over then next few months the swelling of the nerve went away but the bottom 1/4 of my vision in that eye is still dark due to the nerve being damaged from it.

Theres been a number of other documented cases of this happening from Covid.

Wild Turkeys do fly. Just usually not very far, and usually only to escape predators or to fly into trees at night. Or to fly onto my roof to get the the yard on the other side of my house lol

And when it catches on fire, you won’t be able to break the glass to get out!

Unless you have a steel ball to throw at it.

They shouldn’t let cats work from home.

Welcome! I hope we can have some good discussion here as well. Though I could definitely be doing a better job at sparking discussions myself.

Great point! I guess they can continue to live the New and Everlasting Covenant there.

Final Volume of Joseph Smith Papers Published (newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Rough_N_Ready@lemmy.world to c/mormon@lemmy.world
 

“Every document that we know of that was produced by or under the direction of Joseph Smith, or written to him directly, has been published with annotations,” said Elder Kyle S. McKay, Church Historian and Recorder.

“When you read these documents, … it’s not novel style. It’s not a narration. It’s document after document after document. And you kind of put the narration together. But you do get a sense for how God uses an ordinary person and creates something magnificent,” said Elder McKay.

“To prepare these documents will only make us more effective in telling the story of the ongoing restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ in all the world as we move into the future,” said Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

“This scholarly project includes, as we noted, 27 volumes, 1,306 journal entries, 643 letters, 155 revelations, 18,822 pages, 7,452,072 words and 49,687 footnotes — and even meticulous footnotes on footnotes,” said Elder Gerrit W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
