Dishonored series was pretty good at offering and rewarding a peaceful playthtrough. It was definitely the more difficult option but usually worth it.

Exactly my experience as well, I work in a very conservative industry and everyone who mentions rank choice voting blames the R losses on it. The first vote with it, it was clear that they had their head in the sand about how it worked because they thought it would fail, then came the "Rank the red" which didn't work. It's very surprising to them when people don't vote the way they think they should. Their whole attitude is very childish and tribal.

Also it's cool to see another Alaskan on here.

I'm not sure it would survive a repeal measure vote, any conservative support it seemed to have has eroded because it hasn't worked in their favor and their team keeps losing. I've even heard it blamed for elections that weren't ranked choice like the Anchorage mayoral election. We'll see how long it lasts but I'm not hopeful

Aircraft maintenance here, even a tiny drone can cause a lot of damage and potentially cause the aircraft to be down for maintenance for a long time. The rotor blades are tough and would probably be ok to get back to the ground with a tiny 250g drone strike but would require inspections and could possibly damage the rotor beyond continued service and require replacement, which may not be on hand. Anything larger and it could be catastrophic

I went to an airshow a few years ago and the F22 raptor demo team was doing their show, which was amazing and the recruiter was working his pitch into the show the whole time. Between the talking points they would play music and the one that stood out the most was BYOB by System of a Down, which is a complete and total 180 to what they were pitching. It was incredible the cognitive disconnect.

Nasal strips don't stop your mouth from flopping open, or keep you from swallowing your tongue, both of which are common causes of snoring.

Aircraft maintenance has been doing the negative pressure unlock tests on cockpit doors for decades, its honestly surprising what isn't common knowledge. Like others have said, rapid decompression of only a portion of the aircraft is very bad, and will result in massive structural failure as individual compartments aren't pressure rated and will blow apart. The doors I've had experience with had large panels that would pop out when in a negative pressure event.

Because it's an input signal not output, hence the line in

I think sex is an adjective in this case as it clarifies what type of orgy happened
