Do you get required side powers? Speed especially requires enhanced durability and strength to avoid injuring yourself when using your power.

I think GOG might be an exception to this, where they will never revoke access to the games you previously bought, but I am not 100% sure of their policies.

They are, when you buy a game from gog they send you the installation files. You install and run it with your own hardware whereas with Steam and other digital gaming companies you are just getting access to the game on their servers. By sending you the installers and letting you play independently from their servers gog gives up the ability to lock you out. It’s the primary reason that they should be the first choice for where to buy a digital version of a game. The upside is that it’s the closest you can get to actually owning a digital copy of a game; the downside is that playing on another device requires that you transfer files and reinstall rather than just logging into a remote server.

My neighbor was a maintenance man at an apartment complex and was bitten while emptying mouse traps. He was infected with a virus that caused some kind of lymphatic disease that developed into viral meningitis. He wound up spending months in hospitals and rehab and has permanent brain damage and disability. It was treatable if he had gone to the Dr earlier but healthcare is expensive and hard to access so he decided to wait and see if it’d pass.

One beside the bed, one in the kitchen, and one near the front door.

For oven fires turn off the oven and shut the door. An oven is a fire box, it will contain the blaze. The oven probably isn’t completely airtight but it should be close enough that the fire will use up the oxygen and extinguish itself quickly (the vent will pull hot air out but not let cooler air back in). Let it sit for a while and cool after you can’t see flames anymore to make sure the fire doesn’t reignite when you open the door and let fresh air in. Fire can damage the elements and seals so the oven needs serviced before being used again but so long as the fire was only inside the oven it should be repairable.

Make sure your fire extinguisher has the right rating for the place it is stored. For the oven grease fire, and most kitchen fires, a class K extinguisher would have been most appropriate because it is designed to put out cooking oil fires with minimal splashing.

Cigarettes aren’t the best treatment for anything and the potential benefits never outweigh the harm but cigarette smoking treats some types of ulcers, colitis, and a few other lower GI issues. It may also prevent or reduce the severity of Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s dementia, endometrium cancer, uterine fibrosis, and endometriosis. It also negatively correlates with DVT and may make you more likely to survive if you have a heart attack.

Dear tech developers, if you are listening please put VR projects on the back burner. They are an interesting future technology but the currently possible technology that people would adopt if it were economical to do so is AR. A simple heads up display with an integrated personal assistant has enormous potential in both personal and business uses right now if it was reasonably priced and reliable. You could replace cell phones.

The recycling process that France currently uses recovers about 96% of the radioactive material remaining in nuclear waste and produces new fuel rods usable in conventional reactors. Spent fuel rods from conventional reactors can also be used in other types of reactors. For whatever reason, we in the US just shove all of our nuclear waste in old mines like it’s still 1950 but technology has continued to develop and places that are more invested in nuclear energy have much better ways of dealing with the waste.

Five inmates likely escaped from the Alcatraz Island prison and were never found. The first likely successful escape was Theodore Cole and Ralph Roe in 1937.

The second likely escape was Clarence Anglin, John Anglin, and Frank Morris in 1962.

Arena was 94, uesp was 95, and daggerfall was 96. It was originally fansite that followed development news for daggerfall.

uesp.net is another one. It’s actually quite a bit older than fandom but I’m still going to count it.

Fevers are your body fighting the infection so unless it gets too high you should just let it do it’s thing. Keeping the fever will shorten the duration of a mild or moderate illness. If your fever gets up to 102-103f or ~39c take medicine to reduce it, if it hits 105f or 40c then you are in danger of cooking you brain and should go to the ER. Stay well hydrated, getting some electrolytes is a good idea if you are sweating more than usual or vomiting. Eat regularly, your body is using extra calories to fight the infection so even if you activity level is lower you need the same or a little more calories than normal. The more balanced your diet the better. Have something to do. Don’t just focus on the illness and lay around getting bored, do some light housework, engage is a light hobby, catch up on some TV or movies, replay an old favorite video game. Anything to keep your mind engaged and to make the time pass faster.

Sometimes you’re doing something like using your exercise bike, cooking, or doing housework and want something on just for the noise but don’t want to put any real effort into finding something since you aren’t paying much attention to it. Turning on a channel that does old shows or documentaries or whatever is perfect for that. I use Roku so I don’t pay for a subscription.

Green Lanterns are space paladins. They aren’t magical themselves but are selected by, dedicated to, and empowered by godlike being that predate the current multiverse.

I lost about 300lbs over a couple of years with walking being my primary form of exercise. I started with a couch to 10k program and for most of the time I was losing weight I was walking about 8 miles a day on sidewalks and paved walking paths. I had been wearing sketchers walking shoes for a while and they are very comfortable and good for light walking but would only last about 3 months while I was morbidly obese and walking that much. I went to a walking store and asked for recommendations and left with a pair of Saucony that I wore daily for almost a year. I’ve stuck with Saucony and since I weigh a lot less and have switched to an exercise bike for my primary cardio exercise my current pair is about 2 years old and still going strong. They have a much stiffer sole than the sketchers, new balance, or Nike that I have had in the past. I do still use Sketchers for hiking boots.

If something is amoral then it has no moral implications and is neither good or bad to do. If something is morally bad to do then it is immortal. It’s a common misuse and pointing it out may be a bit pedantic because choices with no moral implications are rarely considered or meaningful but I have to use my degree in applied ethics somehow.
