I've been trying to avoid soap labelled antibacterial for this reason, and it's tricky to even find any that's not labelled antibacterial.

Been wondering if they don't just slap the label on any soap, because it could be considered antibacterial by its nature. Apparently not?

That's a lot better than what I thought he'd be lining up...

From the article, Sansan Chicken, Sansan Ramen, and Yaso Kitchen, all in NY. (Since nobody has said it yet)

I suspect most of your audience here isn't going to be strongly swayed by missing out on oil. Got anything else?

Step away from hardware constraints for a moment, and consider the OS:

If the OS says a file is deleted, under no circumstances should the OS be able to recover it. Sure, certain tools may exist to pull it back; but it should be unavailable to the OS after that. And yet, apparently a software update was enough to recover these files. Thus, the concerns about data safety in an environment where the OS cannot be trusted to remove data when it says it has been removed.

It also calls being gay “sexual conduct,” which critics say could set up the state for more censorship of LGBT+ citizens.

As in, they can use anti-porn measures to block information from kids about homosexuality in general.

Evangelical advertising, talking about Jesus's experiences in a way that relates to what "everyday people" deal with.

Pretty sure they're talking about the anti-universal healthcare propaganda in the States. Downplaying the wealth gap happens here plenty, too.

Seeing the stars in a properly dark area, maybe?

Were you never an asshole as a kid? It's part of growing up. We work to make them better, but arresting them does nothing worthwhile.

It's entirely relevant to your argument. Both are commonly expected to be role models. This expectation is enforced in only one case.

How much do you allow mages to pump up their missile spells when using the default GURPS magic-as-skills system? Particularly with casting level 15+ (enough to get a discount) and a few levels of Magery? The GURPS FAQ 4.3.3 here mentions that the total cost of the full charging time is discounted once - so at casting level 15 you can charge a 1 die fireball for 1 second for free, but you cannot cast a free 3 dice fireball by spending 3 seconds charging it - that would instead cost 2 energy points.

But what about the upper end? GURPS Basic Set page 240 says you can “invest one or more points of energy in the spell, to a maximum number of energy points equal to your Magery level”. Suppose a PC with Fireball-15 and Magery 2 spends 1 second creating a 2 dice fireball. This has cost them 1 energy point. Does this mean they could instead spent 1 second investing 2 energy points (their maximum Magery) into a 3 dice (discounted price) fireball? I saw this idea posted on the GURPS wiki here, but I haven’t found anything discussing this idea elsewhere.

Peter V. Dell'Orto has mentioned that even allowing the discount to apply to each charging turn hasn't wrecked his game, so I'm not worried about the balance component of 1-2 extra dice of damage; I'm just curious what other GMs would permit at their table.
