There are also links to his stories on his website: https://www.thomashawrites.com/works
My favorites include Window Boy, The Brotherhood of Montague St. Video, Alabama Circus Punk, and House Traveler (which isn't linked on that page, but is available here: https://www.bourbonpenn.com/issue/34/house-traveler-by-thomas-ha).

There are many varieties of Quakers, but you can certainly find some that align with the perspective you described (most Friends in the UK, probably, and one of the major branches of US Friends).

It's not the eating that's violent, it's what happens in the slaughterhouse that makes the eating possible... (And for those who feel led to reduce their participation in that violence, I'd suggest checking out Quaker Vegan Witness: https://qvw.org.uk)

If you can't find a local community, there are many meetings that offer the opportunity to join them via the internet:
As for learning more about Quakers, here are a couple Quaker study centers you might want to check out (both of which also offer online worship):

Truth of the Heart by Rex Ambler is primarily a collection of short excerpts from George Fox, but at the end of the book is an essay called, "Making Sense of Fox" that I found very interesting...

If I remember correctly...
With the card your printer is connected to in slot 1, try PR#1 -- that should send all output to the printer. PR#0 should send output back to the screen.
So here's a BASIC one-liner:
PR#1:?"HELLO PRINTER":PR#0

I think anyone interested in being a Quaker Christian would enjoy reading Thomas Kelly and Lloyd Lee Wilson. Kelly's best known book is A Testament of Devotion and Wilson's is Essays on the Quaker Vision of Gospel Order.

My view of Quaker ethics is that they are not based on adherence to general principles or upholding of ideals, but that they are experiential and hyper-specific. Each of us can spiritually discern what we are led to do in the actual situations we encounter. There's no requirement to subscribe to any particular set of abstract rational beliefs about what we would or wouldn't do in hypothetical situations or how others should respond to their unique circumstances. The peace testimony is not a creed or law--it is a testimony by many who have come before regarding what they experienced inwardly that made it impossible for them to engage in outward violence.

It was folks associated with Quaker House that helped my son figure out what to do. They have a lot of resources available at: https://quakerhouse.org/resources/

My son wrote a statement of his pacifism and mailed it to himself to get it postmarked (so there's an official date associated with it). Also, on his Selective Service registration, he wrote in "Conscientious Objector" (even though that's not an official option). Pretty sure he got those ideas from an online workshop about being a CO. If I can find more info on it, I'll post it...

Oh, looks like there's a whole series of "Infinity" anthologies. Thanks!

I tried the Mac and Windows versions and confirmed that the speed of the rovers is much higher in the Mac version.

I'd take it to K&M in Norwood. Keith and Mark are honest and do good work at reasonable prices. https://www.kmcincy.com/
I've also heard positive things about Dave's in Norwood, but haven't been there myself.

On the original MUD (and several that followed soon after), you don't just lose items between sessions. There's a clock that resets all items and mobs on a regular basis. Basically the only thing that persists is your score. While there were likely technical reasons for doing that, it also creates a different kind of experience/gameplay. To me, it feels more like a tabletop game where there's a fixed set of playing pieces and you set up the board, play a certain number of turns, see who won, and then start over and play again. Obviously, other styles of play won out in the MUD world (maybe because the classic "treasure hunt" doesn't scale to very many players), but I still think there's a certain appeal to racing to claim the best items after a reset using your knowledge and experience of where to find things, the best routes to get there, etc. Seems a little bit like a game in the modern day MOBA or battle royale genres...
It randomly pops up (along with the other bonus levels) between regular levels if bonus levels are enabled on the cabinet. It's also possible using the admin tools to select it for play.
