Once you're above ~50 people, accessibility in larp is nonexistent. Under 50ish, it's possible to find camps with accessibility in mind; I go to one on a special needs campsite where someone with a wheelchair could reasonably play! But above that, it's tents and dirt roads. Never seen it done well.

We are a few thousand subscribers away from being a bigger print newspaper than the Washington Post.

We are a mere flurry away from humiliating one of the two Big Space Perverts.

If you're in the standalone app, go to File, Manage Addins (it's a square button).
If you're in 365, the path is outlook.office365.com/owa/?path=/options/manageapps

If all the other things people have suggested don't work:
- Try running a command: outlook.exe /cleanrules
- Under Account Settings, make sure the mail settings aren't purging mail in other ways (keep mail offline, purge items when switching folders, etc)
- Make sure there aren't any weird addins

All my SW friends need to know Amazon is updating their wishlists:

On March 25, 2026 we will remove the option to restrict purchases from third-party sellers. Your address may become visible through updates and tracking information. For privacy, use a PO Box or non-residential address.

Yep. I just sent them a support email to let them know this was not okay, and asked how to disable it. I doubt it's possible, so I'm also in the market for another option.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as β€œpornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict β€œpornography” and what that actually means

Plaintiffs,
-V.-
AFFABLE AVENUE LLC, doing business as CJ DIST;

Defendants.
24 Civ. 9429 (KPF)
OPINION AND ORDER
KATHERINE POLK FAILLA, District Judge:
In June 2025, Steven A. Feldman, counsel for Defendant Affable Avenue
LLC ("Affable"), filed a brief in support of Affable's motion to dismiss that was peppered with false citations. Concerned about both the genesis of these
misstatements and counsel's delay in correcting them, the Court issued an
Order to Show Cause. Perhaps not appreciating the gravity of the situation,
Mr. Feldman responded to that Order with a submission that appeared to have
been created by generative artificial intelligence ("Al"), and that itself contained
a false citation. The Court's response was stern and unmistakable: "Mr.

Feldman [wals not excused from this professional obligation [of verifying that the cases he submitted to the Court were valid] by dint of using emerging
technology." (Dkt. #169 at 4).
Mr. Feldman persisted. A few days prior to the Court's hearing on the
Order to Show Cause, Mr. Feldman submitted a proposed reply brief in further support of Affable's motion to dismiss. Once again, his brief contained false citations. And at the August 22, 2025 hearing, Mr. Feldman was unable to respond directly to, much less answer, the Court's questioning about his
submissions.
Mr. Feldman has not, and apparently cannot, learn from his mistakes.
And while the Court does not oppose the use of Al to assist in legal research
and writing, it must take a stand where, as here, counsel repeatedly files
submissions with false citations because counsel refuses to verify those
submissions. This Court can do no more. For the reasons that follow, the
Court sanctions Mr. Feldman pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11
and the Court's inherent powers by striking Affable's submissions and entering
default judgment against it.

Hey, so, I don’t do civil litigation, is it generally considered good when the judge does this?

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: β€œNo, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
