Ah. So you weren’t planning on actually reading anything I wrote before responding.

Dad once showed me draft specs from ranging system module designs (his work at NASA) from the ‘60s and ‘70s with joke elements tucked in. A recurring gag that some of his office mates really liked to include was Write Only Memory. You couldn’t get anything out of it, but you could be sure anything out into it stayed there, and isn’t that confidence important?

I gather other places don't have external cutoffs?

So some drunk teen could go around turning off people's water in the night? No.

We've got a knife switch right next to the house.

I have a cutoff valve inside the house that I can reach while touching the water meter.

Xenforo allows ignoring threads, likely just not enabled here.

It is not native to Xenforo - you can get an add-on for it. But we've had some bad experiences with add-ons. They often aren't well-supported, and break with updates to the board software, and then people gripe about how they are broken.

Disney is famously rumored to have a vault of pornographic illustrations of its characters by their own employees. By their terms of employment, those pieces are Disney’s IP.

But instead of destroying it all, they’ve archived it. Don’t ask me why.

You've got no clue, and it shows.

Listen, money is tight right now, I can't afford any clues. The tariffs alone are high here to the Land of Ignorance (i.e., New Jersey)!

Maybe so that if some former employee recreates it, they still have the original as IP and can use that to claim copyright infringement if it's ever distributed? So, for example, if someone illustrates a Snow White orgy scene but Disney already one in the files, they might be able to stifle claims of fair use parody because the new scene is too similar to the filed one.

I am about to add it to my plan for Last of Us season 2.

Talking of "people being wrong on the internet", Path of Exile 2 got an update, with a new class and new power set and so on, and I played it and I thought "This is all pretty cool", was progressing steadily through the game again and so on.

Then I foolishly went to the PoE2 reddit, and oh boy, apparently this update was a "disaster" and "everyone hates it", and it's "drastically harder" than previous updates (???). That was certainly news to me lol. I'm not sure if this makes me or them wrong on the internet. I see the devs are listening and making adjustments, which is probably sensible, but it was pretty funny to be like essentially have a good time, and essentially turn around to find everyone else is shrieking in agony lol.

That unfortunately describes a few of my hobbies right now. New things coming out and here I am looking forward to them and enjoying my hobby like a sucker.
