Something didn't work on Firefox and the dev didn't get permission to work out how to fix it as it was uneconomical compared with just disabling firefox

Yeh, it's all the network effect. Where people go will, generally be where they continue to go.

That's why threads was dangerous (and may still be) to and more grassroots federated options

So many people have NSFW stuff blocked completely (so it doesn't even show a post) so your post will get less views/traction if you mark it as such.

Therefore a lot of borderline ones don't get tagged

I don't love manual, I just hate automatics (at least in small cars). Automatics in my experience shift gears when you least want it, giving you unexpected changes in acceleration.

As electric cars are not geared, they should just give you an expected output continuously.

For some slightly less common games: Golf with your friends is a great mini game to play, effectively really crazy golf online

From the Depths build ships/planes/tanks with entirely custom guns, engines etc. then play on the campaign map with fleets of these ships. you can make some really complicated vehicles if that's your thing. Unlimited player count as far as I'm aware.

A less deep version of that is Avorion - Mine resources to build custom ships (less complicated) then even small fleets and do quests, make allies/enemies as you venture to the centre of the galaxy. Supports unlimited players as far as I'm aware. It also allows you to form an alliance to share resources with other players. Resource gathering (mining/salvaging) can be automated by your fleets if that's not your thing.

What is the likelihood that you could set up a server to bridge the two protocols?

I helped at my local park run this morning. They can fill out a lot of role with people doing their Duke of Edinburgh, but still need help so they get a chance to run too!

Edit: https://www.parkrun.com/ (for those that don't know what it its - free 5Km run every weekend (with timing))

Disintegrate would be even better as it prevents resurrection, it's quite a high level spell slot though.

Practical Engineering has a lot of civil engineering videos explaining how a lot of the infrastructure we rely on works/was built.

He uses a lot of well filmed practical demonstrations in his garage to explain the concepts.

everyday astronaut has some extremely in depth videos about space and rockets, order by popular and go!

Not particularly useful in every day life though.

I thought that china generally wanted a weaker yuan to boost exports?

I would argue that most D&D games are roleplay light - it's MUCH easier to just run a mechanical game than one with lots of roleplay.

I can give you session after session of dungeon crawling, or low level story stuff, but trying to put together a campaign with good (consistent) characters with motivations and personalities is incredibly difficult.

The reason you hear about all the roleplay heavy ones (critical role etc, or even stories from other people's campaigns) is because they stand out as being special, exceptionally well done games.
