I used to bring up that Diane Feinstein was older than sliced bread to point out her age… but now it’s hard to say she is older. Need a new politician to rag on.
I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It’s such a small specific thing, one I’d never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now....
Lisa Lawler had no reason to suspect Const. Boris Borissov but now her opinion of police has changed — she’s convinced other grieving families have been victims of similar thefts
Wikipedia is hardly an authoritative source for political factoids.
factoid: A piece of unverified or inaccurate information that is presented in the press as factual, often as part of a publicity effort, and that is then accepted as true because of frequent repetition.
So tell me, what is an authoritative source of factoids?
When I imagine Low Fantasy, there’s usually a House/Guild/Company that has one special person who bolsters their trade. Whether that special person has a magical affinity to trade, fight, vex, spy, or charm… even a single magical advantage, when applied consistently, could lead to market dominance.
For example:
A successful and renowned caravan company has a magic-attuned fighter who can fend off thieves and ambushers, even if that means being the last alive.
Local herbalist is suspiciously beating all of the competition. Upon further investigation, it turns out they hired a magic-attuned individual to charm their goods, evoking positive affect in customers.
You should implicitly define an upper boundary to how many people can have magic abilities, and to how often said people have powerful abilities. For example, say the nation that your story exists in has 100 million people, and each 100 million yields a handful of magical people. One special person is probably a baby, and two of them are probably quite old. A couple magical people might be quite powerful, another couple has quite mundane abilities, and perhaps one is somewhere in the middle. There may be more or less than a handful of magical people in the nation, since people may come to or leave from your nation.
I like to play “solo scout” sometimes, but I try to be mindful of my proximity to teammates and to objectives. Ideally someone who runs off and loots or does side objectives is also able to make it back to the team to deal with a titan/tank. Also, there’s not much point in hoarding samples if you can’t extract.
Stamina booster and jetpack/shieldpack are essential for playing this way, though.
I don’t work in a sound recording space, but I know this because I had to do a voice recording for a project in middle school.
The recording picked up some extraneous noise in between a couple sentences, so I opened Audacity, took the noisy chunk, and deleted it outright so that there was empty space. It sounded very weird for some reason… so I simply recorded over the gap with me doing nothing, as if I were in between sentences. It worked! And I had no idea why…
Granted, this was less ‘room tone’ than ‘white noise from the amount of gain on my shitty mic’, but same concept.
The only game I have ever played is FIFA on a PS4. Now I have a gaming laptop but have no idea how I should go about playing games on Linux. Appreciate your help in advance!

It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office.
