"having to check bags is a skill issue," when translated from douche english, says "there is nothing important in my life i can feel good about on its own terms"

ok also i think swinging your dick around about your air travel bag-packing skills is about the saddest flex I can think of

Ludlow Massacre - Wikipedia

On this date, 112 years ago, members of the Colorado National Guard and private security opened fire on striking miners and their families at Ludlow, Colorado, in the southeast of the state. 21 people were killed, mostly women and children.

I apologize for missing the context!

That said, mainstream games press should probably avoid covering fangames and hacks and stuff. Because Nintendo's legal people have confirmed directly that they tend to go after stuff in the headlines.

But even then, Nintendo seem to have had less energy for that kind of nonsense.

Nintendo have pulled Super Mario 64 Online creator's Patreon and Youtube videos Update, September 21: Nintendo have taken further action against the creator of Super Mario 64 Online, pulling his Patreon and most Youtube content related to the mod.If you've followed the story of a...

Also, even the games that have been targeted by Nintendo have a saving throw's chance of survival. Metroid AM2R is still getting updates!

Nintendo have been giving Kaze Emanuar and his projects shit for YEARS but he's still truckin' away.

(Goddamn, I wrote that back in 2017!)

People are bad with probability and scale. Which is why there's a perception that Nintendo will orbital strike anything vaguely looking like a fangame, because that's what appears in headlines.

The reality is there are THOUSANDS of Mario fangames, romhacks and more. Same with Pokemon. 99.5% survive

I really think it should be opt-out. If you really care, you can fill out a form, and religions that oppose it could hand the form out at their gatherings.

I think some countries in Europe moved to opt-out and found very few people care enough to fill out a 'no thank you' form?

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

the biggest problem is the constant emotional whiplash of their posts being:

* cute selfie
* your government just blew up a hundred children
* reblog of kinky porn
* alabama wants to throw you and everyone you love in jail
* here's my pokopia town
* that thing you liked is AI now

All video game announcement trailers should consist of an uninterrupted, commentary-free demonstration of the first 5 minutes of play from launch. If this proves unreasonable because no part of the first 5 minutes from launch is interactive, all copies of the source code will be shot into the Sun.

Given all the Bluesky server flailing the past couple of days, I am putting my suggestion for a mascot back out there.

Campster did a video series on each game that had that code, up to the point that it became to ubiquitous to keep track of

Caroline asks Olivia how they dealt with negative comments online. She responds “Oh, I just never read them.” Cuts away to a panel of Nancy, Caroline, Olivia, and Sluggo holding hands and frolicking in a flowery field. There is a rainbow overhead that reads “How Life Is When You Don’t Read The Comments.”

The first two of those would damage the board itself, by dissolving the plastic. It would be much more susceptible to organic solvent then any metal (which wouldn't be effected by any of those)

They almost certainly would have used the same metallurgy on later systems (N64, SNES) if damaged versions of those are easier to find.

Alternatively, I know a glassblower with a gold leaf stockpile who'd probably be up for helping us out, if you wanted to test a single sheet of gold.

Adding water to dilute it would make it much worse, as water will cause rust and corrosion on a lot of electronics (and tap water often has salts which can do horrible things to electronics)

I also can't figure out why the manuals would tell you not to use alcohol, isoproyl alcohol is barely acidic and very non-corrosive, which is why you use it to clean electronics. Less acidic then drinking alcohol (ethanol) in fact.

I'm betting the issue is a separate part of the process they didn't tell you, like if they rubbed it with an eraser before applying the alcohol.

Is this a Clans vs Inner Sphere conflict or is there something else going on? (I've only read one of the novels and some backstory, oh and the manual for the C64 version of The Cresent Hawk's Inception)

It would be interesting, I'd love to get my hands on some samples. Were you told this by the person that did it, or a store? It could be they were misidentifying the source of the damge

If anything it should reduce the damage from that, and generally the more pure it is, the safer for electronics it is. I've heard of people using it it safe electronics that have gotten wet, to remove the water before it corrodes things

Oh: Context: While I was working on my PhD gold chemistry was one of my boss's interests. I used premade gold salts, but I knew someone that needed to make auric acid and his starting point was buying a gold coin from the mint (cheap, very high purity gold) and dissolving it.

I suspect that what you've seen is actually mechanical damage from tricks such as your rubbing trick, or the older eraser method, where you'd actually rub the contacts with an eraser.

Nodnod, alcohol will do *nothing* to gold: Gold is one of the hardest metals to react at all, that is why it was known as one of the noble metals. You have to make up a special acid known as Aqua Regia that is stronger then sulphuric acid to dissolve it.
