As recently as the small town where I grew up in the 1980s, yes, we had the local gp/fp doctor’s home phone number and my mother would call him in an emergency rather than engage the 45 minute drive to hospital. My parents, poor small farmers, did not carry insurance that would cover an ambulance ride.

Look at older editions. 6th is hot garbage published with criminally low quality material and he didn’t pay the freelance writers that contributed to the game.

Welp, time to ban hammers. Clearly too dangerous for law abiding citizens.

If they paid for CDs, if they paid for the books that they trained on, if they paid for the videos they trained on, then they can do what they want with it. Buying is owning, as far as I’m concerned. Unfortunately, US copyright law doesn’t see it that way, And arguing that is pointless.

The crux of the matter is that they’re not paying, and trying to scam their way out of it by calling what they do free use, transformative, when it’s not. Free use is for academics, critics, and artists. Gen AI is not art, Art requires intention.

How did they get the MP3 to turn it into math soup? That’s right. They copied it. Just like all the families that Cox Communications is working on transferring their ’ liability’ to, since they lost their stupid infringement case. I just want the AI corpos to be held to the same standards and I think you should, too, because if it can’t be free for everybody, then it should be an Equitable system of compensation. Happy Bobby Bonilla day.

You had me right up until you started to stan for the AI corpos.

Just because you like them doesn’t make what they do legal. Does US Copyright law suck? Yes. Should GenAI be allowed to flaunt it? No.

Myth TFL? That’s a blast from the past. I’m pretty sure the sequel would still run on a modern PC. I think I’ll dig it out and give it a try.

No valve means no steam controller, no proton compatibility layer (don’t tell me to use wine I was there already) no steam deck, no freedom to game on any PC OS I want.

You know nothing, Jon Snow.

You know what would De-escalate the tension? If the president respected the letter and spirit of the laws of the land, upholding his oaths of office.

Not all stainless steel alloys contain enough iron to ferromagnetic, so the magnet test only proved that your lid is ferro. Good luck with it.

Oof. He’s moving faster than I thought he could. Thanks for the info, nice to know my news filter is working.

I didn’t know the reference, here is a link for anyone else in the same boat.

What’s happening to drive this?

Do magnetic test, put a magnet to it, see if it sticks. If it passes the magnet test, then you know it’s either carbon steel or magnetic stainless. If it fails, you need to find something that is harder than aluminum, but softer than steel, like an actual piece of copper. Scratch someplace out of the way with the soft copper, if the metal is scratched by the copper, you know that the metal is softer than the copper, and that rules out stainless steel. The scratch test isn’t super reliable because some aluminum alloys are significantly harder than copper, but it’s better than nothing If you don’t have chemical tests available.

Good luck in your search. The Italians used to make quite a few kitchen implements out of aluminum, so it is possible that it is aluminum. I have an old Bialetti Moka that is aluminum.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned tabletop simulator on Steam. Lots of free mods that let you do all sorts of things. And it’s system agnostic because it’s essentially a physics simulator, with some game hooks like dice rolling and card drawing.

Plus, if you want to get fancy, it does things like image import and fog of war, And it’s got the voice chat and text chat built in.

If you do use it, don’t forget to go to the settings and prevent other players from flipping the table.

Coffee is food. You should enjoy it how you like it.
