Monopoly Deal on the other hand is an excellent game, quick to play (10-15 minutes), works well for 2, 3 or 4 players and the rules are clear and simple. Not to mention how cheap it is, usually less than $5.

Look up a south asian grocer for Soan Papdi, it's a similar sweet that's not too sugary (by south asian standards anyway) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soan_papdi

IIUC, the salient points are: - target area was very small (500m x 500m) for CY2. With CY3 they've made it bigger at 4km x 4km, allows for larger margin of error.

- CY2 lander had limited leeway in fixing issues, by design. CY3 has more and has landed itself, no assistance from base.

- CY2 lander had limited time to fix itself, apparently it was just a few seconds short of making it fine

Great game. One suggestion is to present fake flags as another toggle. Helps spot real vs fake flags

Do containers have long life GPS trackers so we can track them in situations like this?
Re:The joys of owning an ‘OG’ email account on Wednesday September 02, 2020 @10:10PM (#24360228)
Didn't realise this was a common problem. My gmail address has about 9 filters with ~100 terms each. Would be nice if Google automatically had an allow list with countries where I will accept account recoveries requests from.

Worst though is that PayPal created an account for another person with my email address. Apparently they don't send out the initial prove-your-ownership email. Still unresolved because PayPal refuses to believe me that I own the address, even though they don't even want to send a test email.

Not sure if this is appropriate but if someone from Microsoft is reading, the domain premium.outlook.com is not working. It looks to be linked from many support docs like https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-your-email...
The Mountain Ash trees of south east Australia are similar in that the bushfire helps release seeds. These are also one of the tallest tree species on the planet.

Highly recommend BBC Good Food. Just the recipes without the fluff. They also have ratings but no review, which is great.
There are some comics I'd like to follow but I'm not interested in creating an Instagram account. If you can add an Instagram feed, I'd be serious in signing up to your service. For most other content, I'm happy enough to run rss2email myself.
