Chuckie Egg was designed and coded by a 15-year-old but millions of UK kids played it, including me!

If you face-scan to ID for Playstation, firstly, fuck that, but it's vaguely better than uploading ID documents. Sony might trust their trusted verification partners but I sure don't.

Buit is it a one-time thing? Or do you have to do it repeatedly?

Me at dinner earlier.

HOWEVER, 12yo chimed in to say they are taught that an apostrophe-s followed by a verb-like is always a contraction, so in that (incorrect, incomplete) context the answer is 3.

I wonder if the headmaster would appreciate my writing to him about it.

This was a question on an exam my 10yo did. "shaking" here is part of a gerund, so therefore "sail's" is a possessive determiner. It's an older form of speech, but the poem is from 1902 after all, and gerunds are still valid English.

Maybe she would consent to my asking about gerund determiners.

I don't see how it can't be a possessive (also it's from 1902). It's obviously a list of experiences he longs for that can only be given by other objects. A contraction anywhere on the third line makes no sense.

That's my opinion, but not that of a certain P6 teacher. I think she's saying "sail's" is a contraction.

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

How many possessive apostrophes?

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Man, I wish Sega would have just open-sourced their machines/firmware after leaving the hardware space.

Saturn and Dreamcast had massively untapped potential that we're only seeing from homebrew scenes; MegaDrive and Master System still had vast install bases, if not active users.

Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?

A really good game at a bargain price with a real "can't be arsed" attitude to the artwork.
