My friends who grew up outside Oz find it weird that to me "it ain't Christmas unless it's scorching hot". To me the idea of having a cold Christmas is the odd one.

Value is correct in this instance, I think.

The number of shares and the price people are willing to pay for those shares is how "value" is calculated, I think.

In contrast, "wealth" would be how much money they have in the bank.

Why not just have both a male and female voice, and ideally one that's as neutral as possible?

Both can be true: Russia can lack numbers to make a strategic breakthrough, and Ukraine can simultaneously not be able to field enough materiel to be able to recapture their losses.

IMO the most likely outcome is a stalemate that turns into de jure conquest of the territory Russia has captured and it turns into a cold (or at least cooler) war.

Fingers crossed the effects mentioned in the Chronos fight fixes an issue I had the other day - I was having a really good run with a strong build, but after the transition to phase 2 I was stuck in slow motion and stood no chance.

I's often just carnal desire which results in the death of something to the tune of ~80 billion (with a "B") animals every year that didn't really need to be slaughtered.

I'm genuinely curious: what's the vegans' answer to the question of "what happens to the cattle and other livestock if everyone on the planet turned vegan tomorrow?". It's not like they can just be let loose...

Realistically the amount of livestock is not sustainable and they'd need to be culled in gargantuan numbers so that they don't go from a "managed" ecological disaster to an "out of control" ecological disaster. And then you get the slaughter without the benefit of feeding billions of hungry people.

That was very quick! I expected the technical test to go on much longer than that!

Now it'll be the dilemma of "do I buy it in early access knowing that it'll be only a fraction of the content, or do I wait for 1.0?"

The "M" would be for mezzanine, which is usually either a floor that's small or at an intermediate height between main floors.

Life before death, Radiant.

I have two moods for this:

One is a playlist composed of most of the library of songs by PVRIS. I don't know why, but their music just really clicks with me; I can listen to that playlist all day with no problems (I usually hate listening to the same song more than once or twice a day).

The other is a playlist of non-combat music from The Elder Scrolls. Really good for gentle background music.

Okay, I'll bite. What does "a Hobbit" mean as a unit of measurement?
