but if you start passing it around all the right wing and health influencers then you will get on RFK's radar and he will make an exception just like what they want to do with peptides...

I know that you have said that the show is likely not for you after a couple of seasons, and have likely made the post because of the start of the second celebrity version of the show in the UK being very soon and in the news.
The fact that this game leans very into the social dynamic, the fact that everyone going into the celebrity version knows each other, and they all have pre-existing reputations, it makes it feel very different in a good way (you have a chance of spotting changes in character once people know that they're traitors as you have an existing baseline).

I think it may be worth giving the celeb version a go (I know that I like to watch it at x2 speed because even though its a good show, it is still a reality tv show and there are certain aspects where it is nice to not be in certain scenes for too long with some people).

I know that Richard Osman on "the rest is entertainment" podcast has talked a lot about the strategy and "episode reviews" of series as they've been ongoing, especially from a producer PoV. I don't recall Hannah Fry talking about it on "the rest is science" where she is a host, but she does do a lot of public media where it is very feasible where she would have talked about strategy for the show. It's hard to search for it though since now everything is about her being in the show rather than talking about it...

he did, but I think the point of the post is that taravangian refers to his boon/curse as something akin to the power of gods (and to be honest, the foresight ability that he has is probably more than what a zinc ferring could do). If taravangian had more cosmere awareness he would realise that the general functionality of his boon/curse is not that unique (the trading good days for bad days part).

Tephrite

zinc ferrings can store and tap mental speed, so spending some time dumb to be smart at other times is what they, and taravangian, do, making him not that unique

I told you it would sink.
No you didn't.
Right. I was going to tell you it would sink.
But you didn't.
But I don't.
You sure that's right?
I was going to have told you it would sink?
No.
The subjunctive?
That's not the subjunctive.
I don't think the syntax has been invented yet.
It would have had to have been.
Had to have been? That can't be right...

not having my runic power WA to also display when the amount of RP is enough to cast a death strike kind of sucks

I like your point about will adoption, I had forgotten about specifically taking the will back from objects. I am still curious about how it all ties back to the Concurrence, it seems that the different aspects of will were deliberately separated, so I wonder a) how was Luceum's version of will important to and used by the Concurrence, and b) how are combinations of any 2 world's version of will dangerous (they could have split the world into 2 or 4 versions) what were they scared of if e.g. Luceum and Res's powers were left together in a single world?

it is to have the colours be easily distinguishable on the plots - they are also the default plot colours I think for matlab and python, probably excel too if I had to guess. Better than trying to guess which shade of blue in the graph corresponds to which shade of slightly different blue in the legend

I didn't post it on wago, but this is what it had for each weakaura tab:

Load tab: group Type - In Raid
Trigger tab: trigger 1 - type - Player/Unit Info - conditions - Group Type - In Raid;
trigger 2 - Type - Custom - Event Type - Event, Event(s)

GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE

, Custom Trigger -

function(event, arg1, arg2, ...)
    if event == "GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE" then
        -- Use the arguments for this event
       return true
    end
end

, Hide - Timed, Duration (s) - 1
Conditions tab: condition 1 - If Trigger 1:Conditions -Active=True, then - Run Custom Code:

if aura_env.config.event_flag then
    print("GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE event")
end
aura_env.raid_size = GetNumGroupMembers()  -- gets raid size, 0 if not in group
aura_env.main_tank = GetPartyAssignment("MAINTANK")  -- Boolean for if a main tank exists or not
aura_env.active_layout = C_EditMode.GetLayouts().activeLayout  -- gets current Edit mode layout

if aura_env.raid_size > 20 then  -- checks raid size
    if aura_env.main_tank then
        if aura_env.active_layout ~= aura_env.large_raid_tank_shift then  -- checks for main tank and changes layout if not already set for large raids
            C_EditMode.SetActiveLayout(aura_env.large_raid_tank_shift)
            print("switching to large raid + tank shift edit mode profile")
        end
    elseif aura_env.active_layout ~= aura_env.large_raid then
        C_EditMode.SetActiveLayout(aura_env.large_raid)
        print("switching to large raid edit mode profile")
    end
else  -- small <=20 raid
    if aura_env.main_tank then
        if aura_env.active_layout ~= aura_env.default_tank_shift then  -- checks for main tank and changes layout if not already set to normal size raid
            C_EditMode.SetActiveLayout(aura_env.default_tank_shift)
            print("switching to default + tank shift edit mode profile")
        end
    elseif aura_env.active_layout ~= aura_env.default then
        C_EditMode.SetActiveLayout(aura_env.default)
        print("switching to default edit mode profile")
    end
end  

Actions tab: Custom Init - ticked:

aura_env.default = 3
aura_env.default_tank_shift = 4
aura_env.large_raid = 5
aura_env.large_raid_tank_shift = 7  

Custom Unload - ticked:

print("WA unloaded")
if aura_env.main_tank then
    C_EditMode.SetActiveLayout(aura_env.default_tank_shift)
    print("switching to default + tank shift edit mode profile")
else
    C_EditMode.SetActiveLayout(aura_env.default)
    print("switching to default edit mode profile")
end  

the edit mode profiles are what you set as the values in the custom init section (1 and 2 are saved for Modern (Preset) and Classic (Preset), then your own edit mode profiles are 3 onwards).

I really appreciated WA as a way to create custom WAs to casually interact with the wow API without having to create your own addon. For example, when blizzard added edit mode they removed the functionality to dynamically change raid frame layouts for 20/40 man raids, so I had a WA to check the raid size and automatically switch between different edit mode layouts for raid size and for if main tanks were selected (as this shifts the raid frames to include an additional column).

my chrome updated yesterday and I had to update to the latest ublock version, but it still works for me, i tried lite and I was still getting ads on websites, and I had some filters to change youtube (reverting the number of thumbnails per row from 4 back to 6) that would be lost if I did use lite

Tephrite

there are a few things you need to do to get it to still work in chrome:
- in chrome://flags enable "temporarily unexpire M14[1/2] flags"
- in your chrome shortcut, go to file location, click on it's properties, in target which has the "<application file location>", add after the quotation --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled
- then go to ublock's github page, for the latest release open the assets drop down and download the chrome zip
- after relaunching chrome from the updated shortcut, in chrome://extensions enable developer mode and "load unpacked" the unzipped ublock version you downloaded

Is everyone forgetting that his "best friend" gave him an ultimatum which ended up with his mother dead? I think that, along with living within a religion that enabled it, would be enough for someone to say "fuck this" and start playing the game instead of trying to fix his mistakes and do the right thing.
