Boyce-Jones was willing to pay the $8,814 application fee and $1.18 per scooter per day charge that came with the SATV permit, but there was a problem. The permit requires electric scooters to have GPS monitoring and data sharing capabilities as well as self-locking mechanisms.

That seems absurd. What other data needs to be shared? It's like the rules were written by a scooter startup.

I played D&D for 10 years before I seriously tried DMing. I'm now a year and a half into a 5e game with 4 other players and it's been great. It helped that YouTube kept sending me Matt Colville videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-YZvLUXcR8

I've been happy with the update, but I also rarely use the flamethrower or incendiary breaker. I normally play on 7s and my friends that use the incendiary said they are mostly fine in groups, but soloing objectives is harder.

The flamethrower change made chargers harder... But I prefer rocket pods for them anyway.

Plot is similar to The Beekeeper, if Jason Statham hasn't been around to help.

I've seen the Charlton Heston one, and the 2001 Mark Wahlberg one. The original was obviously better. I hadn't seen any of the current cycle until I saw Kingdom last weekend. It was fine.

I listened to a recap of the previous 3 films and it didn't matter. Kingdom takes place "many generations" after the third movie so all the other characters are dead. Kingdom's story works fine as a standalone film. It's not amazing, but there's nothing particularly awful about it. Now I'll probably see the next couple, but they're not high on my list.

Heist has a story and preset levels. Each level is usually a different ship you have to board and clear. They're all connected by a sort of star map. The objectives for each level are preset. Though, the level layouts may be generated. I've rerun a couple and I remember the layouts being a bit different.

SteamWorld Dig 1&2 are platformers. I really enjoyed them. The gameplay for Heist is different but it still feels like the same quality.

Steam World: Heist. Tactical turn based shooter. Somewhere between Worms and X-Com, definitely on the lighter side. It's the same vibe as Steam World 1 and 2, but now the cowboy robots are in space. It's perfect for the Deck and easy to pick up for a few minutes at lunch or in between meetings.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. It felt like mostly nothing happened for 2 hours. There was some decent dialogue and a lot of references to 1950s and 60s Hollywood. There is some build up, but not much payoff until the last 20 minutes. Then everything goes off and you are reminded that this is a Tarantino film.

Because even John Cena is reluctant to dress like John Cena. The only real answer is "because that is the expected formal wear in our society".

That's the point, right? At best this will shut down some poorly written legislation. If it doesn't, and the law gets changed to be explicitly Christian, then at least it's out in the open and no one can claim it's about protecting ALL religions.

I loved the first two, but I had a hard time getting through the third. It has interesting concepts but it takes a long time to make its point. Plot structure spoilers:

SpoilerThe main reveal should have happened half way through, not at the end.
