There is an ongoing project doing this (that launches this weekend I believe) to revive a MUD called Shadows of Isildur

Interesting, could you share more info? I couldn't find anything on Google. I played a fair amount of SOI back in the day and it'd be fun to start over on a fresh server.

This seems like a premature launch, there's nothing on the page that's useful when playing the game. It would be great to actually see what the skills do, their work abilities, and all the other info that's available in the game's paldex, or especially to get info that's not actually available in game like regional distributions.

Yes, high-achieving teenagers are mostly tired all the time

You're missing two things, one for each age group:

For the younger kids, each hour earlier they start is an hour earlier they finish, which means parents need to either finish work earlier (not possible for most people), or pay for an additional hour of after-school child care (expensive). Having free child care to cover the gap between school finishing and work finishing is extremely rare, and the acceptable age to leave your child unattended after school is going up due to over protective parenting (for example, I was a latchkey kid starting in the 3rd grade, but nowadays that seems almost unheard of until middle school).

For the older kids, starting later means sports / extracurriculars finish later, potentially after dark or after the parents are done working and expect kids to be coming home.

I don't think you responded to the comment you meant to

I've been listening for about 30 minutes and it's pretty neat, I've already found some new music I like. However, the weather forecast told me it was 275° F.

Price fixing increases profits as long as nobody undercuts you, that's the whole point

A new score would certainly qualify as "materially different", to GPs point

I was once unmasked in an old video game though because of a mistake specific to that game and people from my country, a mistake I had internalized since childhood. That was quite shocking to me...

I'm curious to know what the "mistake" was here. Is it something like referring to in-game items via their name in your native language, instead of English?

Because there are many large companies who's entire purchasing procedure seems to be to select whoever's furthest in the top right of Gartner's quadrants

For many people (esp. kids and "Disney adults"), Disney{land,world} isn't a type of theme park, it's its own experience that could never be substituted with Six Flags or Universal Studios, and Disney clearly has a "monopoly" on Disney-branded parks. I believe that was OP's point. Another commenter has already explained how Major League Baseball is literally a federally granted monopoly.

How are Germans using two orders of magnitude more electricity than Americans?

There are limits to how much he can borrow against his assets, both due to banking risk models and Tesla bylaws. He's too close to those limits already to borrow another $20B.

Concert tickets _are_ dynamically priced, at least for some events. See Ticketmaster's "Official Platinum"[0] which is a dynamic pricing system for the best seats, I imagine other companies have something similar.

Ukraine is not a dictatorship, their most recent election was widely recognized as fair by international observers.

The point of enabling that option is that users want you to use the relay so they don't have to give you their real email address. If you're just trying to send an email, why isn't the relay acceptable?

Could you provide some substantive backing you your claims? Why won't this ever happen? Why do you think this is about "being bold" rather than "managing things rationally"? What's irrational about electric vehicles?

Knee-jerk virtue signalling is not a sign of a good historian

The author isn't and never claimed to be a historian. Their bio on Atlas Obscura says "I'm a senior editor and writer at Atlas Obscura, bee steward, mead maker and veteran of karaoke in Antarctica."

You aren't obligated to accept anything given to you as a gift or in a will.

Pitchfork is the name of the website that's hosting the article

What prevents their neighbour parking in their stall for a few hours and using their power?

Presumably the same thing that stops you from parking in your neighbor's driveway and charging using their outdoor outlets - it's illegal, and the savings of a few dollars isn't worth the potential penalties.

Why does this article not have any pictures of the watch? It only has renders, even though the author supposedly has one.

His post implies he's dropping support for all Google platforms, presumably including Android, where Terraria is consistently one of the top selling games. That seems like a much more difficult decision.

I believe this was done occasionally in A Series of Unfortunate Events.

They marketed it as a game that could played that way, so it's on CDPR for setting incorrect expectations, not on the people playing for doing what the marketing told them would be part of the fun.

The transaction is anticipated to close in the second quarter of Salesforce’s fiscal year 2022

It seems like it will be a little while before Salesforce can start integrating into Slack at least

Chainmail is bite proof in that it will likely prevent the tiger's teeth from puncturing your skin, but a tiger's jaw is strong enough to snap almost any bone in your body through the chainmail, so it's ultimately not going to do you much good.

All three New York library systems are independently run, they're not controlled by the city or state of New York.

Won't it still boil due to the near-zero pressure?

Influenza isn't in a steady state, there are hundreds of strains[0] that compete with each other and recombine to form novel versions. Each year's flu vaccine targets four of them based on modeling as to which will be most prevalent in the upcoming flu season[1/2].
