Probably because people that still think like Nazis continue to use these symbols for sending messages of hate.

No, that had nothing to do with fusion or fission. The Resonance Cascade was a quantum event created when Gordon inserted a Xen crystal sample into a Anti-Mass Spectrometer.

Just watched a really good and incredibly informative video on this, https://youtube.com/watch?v=nt4rZgndOoE. From what is explained in the video is that this is mostly filing paperwork, they haven't verified their reactor works or that it's able to output power, let alone output more power than what is required to start and maintain a fusion reaction. So over all, a little exciting, but really nothing to get too excited about yet.

Edit: grammar fixes

Look up Tenga, specifically the "flip" series. They have other toys that are full sized and on the cheaper side, but they likely won't last as long.

I built a new PC last year and I decided on the Fractal North XL (mesh) and I absolutely love this case. It looks awesome, the airflow is great, although it did take a little bit of tweaking as my first instinct was to put fans in every place possible, but I realized that some fans were fighting against eachother and the already good temps dropped a bit more after I reworked the fan arrangement.

The other thing that is great about this case is how much space there is inside so it's easy to get your hands in there when hooking everything up or when making changes after the initial install. The cable management system is pretty good too.

They aren't exactly cheap but Noctua 120mm fans are worth it in my opinion, I barely hear the fans in the case and I've never once had my CPU or GPU thermal throttle even when running a continuous benchmark and my PC is purely air cooled.

One potential downside is that with the mesh version of the case you get a side mounted fan mount that you can pick between putting it above the CPU or GPU. I chose to put over my GPU, but there was barely enough clearance above the GPU's power connector. Certain power cables might not fit without putting pressure/stress on the power connector which is generally not a good idea as it could cause issues with the power connector like shorting or melting it if the connection isn't perfectly secure. Not a huge issue for me, but something to be aware of and if anything you can just not put the fan mount above the GPU.

I just found out about Tabletop Game Shop Simulator and I found it to be a nice alternative to TCG Card Shop Simulator. It only has a demo currently, but it's been pretty fun to dip my toes into the shop simulator genre of games.

I enjoy k, but I never go for k-holing, I like small amounts every so often. I suppose I'd liken it to preferring to get a buzz from alcohol vs getting really drunk. To be honest, I don't think I've ever k-holed before and I don't really have any pull towards wanting to do it either.

That's purely how Republicans work, when something benefits them then it's perfectly okay, but once anyone else benefits then it's suddenly the worst thing ever done by a human. It's absolutely disgusting how they'll do it to your face and then deny they ever benefited from it before.

Personally, I don't always buy a friend a gift for their birthday. I generally only buy gifts when I find one that is something that I know would be special to the person receiving it. I usually happen upon gift ideas and don't specifically seek them out. I feel like my friends sort of do the same.

As for having a gathering or a party, I've found that as you get into your 30s and beyond you kind of have to initiate it some yourself or if you're like me and get anxiety from trying to plan my own birthday party you could ask a friend to help out with the planning.

Anyways, happy belated birthday!

Yesss! Thank you so much for doing this! You have no idea how good this makes me feel.

Same here, I dropped League of Legends when they added it as a requirement. I can sorta deal with a kernel level anti-cheat if it only runs while the game is running, but an always on kernel level anti-cheat is a no go for me.

Some games do have different behaviors for different enemies, I can't really point to any one modern game off the top of my head. However, I do remember the first Half-Life touting that as a major feature and it being cool to experience back when that game first came out. I remember some enemies would throw your grenades back at you or fall back and regroup, some would just run straight at you, and others would attempt to sneak around and flank you.
