If you read the article, they usually just shut down and disappear.

If you're lucky some dedicated archivist records the story sections before it goes down.

I don’t have to play any mobile F2P gacha games, in order to know that they’re trash.

This is confusing knowledge with bias.
It sounds more like you're prejudiced against such games so you assume they're all trash.

Printing like to dead trees?

You could just use the system print dialog instead of Firefox's if that works better for you, I think it's possible to set it as default.

Surprising as it seems, not all problems can be fixed with bombs.

During the pandemic, HALO noted on its website that monitoring indoor air quality was an approved use for federal COVID relief money.

A leading provider, HALO Smart Sensors, sells 90% to 95% of its sensors to schools. The sensors don’t have cameras or record audio but can detect increases in noise in a school bathroom and send a text alert to school officials, said Rick Cadiz, vice president of sales and marketing for IPVideo, the maker of the HALO sensors.

The sensors are marketed primarily for detecting vape smoke or THC but also can monitor for sounds such as gunshots or keywords indicating possible bullying.

I don't know that I'd trust a non-microphone sensor to be good enough to actually identify keywords, but you could probably tell if people were yelling or something.

It sounds more like NH was betting they could call a bluff.
One of the dangers is that sometimes it's not actually a bluff.

Aren't the men are supposed to line up against each other in a clear field away from others in orderly firing lines?

Two Israeli officials said the Israeli war cabinet approved ten days ago the parameters of a new proposal for a hostage deal, which are different from past aspects of deals rejected by Hamas and more forward-leaning than previous Israeli proposals.

This stuff really doesn't happen that quickly.

. So Gaza doesn't become all at Bibi's mercy.

So you think that would be different from what is happening now.

Do you think holding more hostages would make a difference?

“I would have filled out whatever was necessary, because at the end of the day, while it would have been a hit to my pride, there is something much more important than my pride, and that’s fighting for this community,” Childrey said.

Make sure you didn't miss what they actually had to say about it.
