Props can have contrails, too. Just can't fly anymore.

I assumed. I know it's similar where I live, but for all I know Montana has some strangely restrictive finders keepers law where if you drop your wallet and someone else finds it you can only legally reclaim it via a duel to the death.

Bad news dominate headlines, do you think journalists will write about people behaving normally?

This is a funny mental image.

"Breaking news: Man gets normal sized plate at buffet. More at 11."

Front of a newspaper in giant bold font:

"MAN TAKES NORMAL ROUTE HOME FROM WORK"

Where do you live? That matters, unless you're just asking from an ethics perspective. I'm not asking you to dox yourself, country/state is plenty.

Assuming you're Canadian(based off your instance being lemmy.ca) technically speaking you should report in to the police, and they'll hold it for 6 months. After that if someone hasn't claimed it you're free to claim it yourself. At least in Vancouver. Maybe the laws are different in other parts of Canada. Your local police probably have a non-emergency number for pretty much exactly this purpose if you wanna double check.

Realistically, it's not even $200. Probably keep it for a week or two and then tell the kid the cops couldn't find the original owner.

The dev refuses to let the anti cheat work on Linux.

Frustratingly, that would also mean dropping at least one of my favorite games rn.

I'm very much considering dual booting defaulting to Linux whenever Win10 support is properly dropped.

I am asking for any general recommendations, without any specific preference.

Then google "reddit alternatives." If you're not looking for a discussion with a personalized response you can easily answer your own question via your search engine of choice.

It's weed. Who cares? Do a campaign about prescription opiates or meth or something useful.

Because surprise is important, and if the enemy has precise intelligence on what's going to happen they can act to make it not happen. Which means that any assumptions your plans make might be outdated or even actively countered.

To quote Sun Tzu, "All warfare is based on deception." The lengths militaries have historically gone to in order to keep operational security or obfuscate the details of an attack is utterly absurd.

A real world example: In WW2, ahead of the allied invasion of Sicily the British launched Operation Mincemeat. They took the body of a homeless person that had recently died, gave him an entirely fictitious service record/life, and some fake letters heavily implying that the allied invasion of Sicily was a feint and the true invasion was going to be in Greece and Sardinia. Then they took the corpse onto a submarine and let it go where the tide would take it to Spain. The Spanish shared the letters with the Germans, and the Germans then reinforced.. all the wrong places. Which made the Allied Invasion of Sicily easier than it potentially could have been.

Is Valhalla anything like Odyssey where it's just outrageously long? I put like 50hrs into Odyssey, realized I'd barely scratched the game and stopped playing lol

Which, I liked Odyssey quite a bit. There's just too much game there for me.

I think he's talking about actual mythologies, not fictional pantheons. I'm not sure tho.

I have no clue about your notstupidquestion but it's inspired one of my own.

Why are you taking zinc? I was under the impression that intaking zinc is a terrible idea and should be avoided at all cost.

Maybe it's specifically inhaling it that's the issue? I've always heard this in a metallurgy context: that you should be careful heating up brass/welding galvanized steel etc because the zinc will turn into a fairly toxic gas.
