I mean, it’s even a trope. TV series, like How I Met Your Mother, do it all the time.
Honesty surprised these things haven’t been made ‘child climbing in proof’ yet.

I’d love to know as well.
Been using it for a while as the 2FA app used and recommended by Leo Laporte. I’ve had a good experience with it, but if it has any issues, I would love to know.

That SELECT and WHERE are all caps, but from is not is bugging me.
I don’t care if you choose to uppercase keywords or lowercase, but consistency please.
Also, great, love it.
- Comment on "Players have no patience", says Blizzard president - "they want new stuff every day, every hour" 6 months ago:
No… I just want to buy the game, and occasional expansions.
I don’t want everything to be monetized.
Buy game + expansions + recurring battle pass + cosmetic shops +++.
I feel like games should limit their monetization to 2 methods, and not utilize FOMO like a battle-pass does. Any cash shops should be designed to be accessible to players not wanting to spend real money (either a game system to handle in-game currency exchange, or have players work it out by allowing players to directly trade in-game currency for either cash shop currency, or cash shop items directly - ensuring there are worthwhile things to purchase both with in-game currency as well, so cash-shop players are encouraged to participate).
Guild Wars 2 I feel does a good job of it. Occasional expansions to purchase, no sub, a cosmetic+convenience shop, but everything in it, can be purchased by converting earned in-game currency into cash-shop currency.
- Comment on Fahrenheit vs. Celsius vs. Kelvin 7 months ago:
I don’t science anymore, but living in a F country, I keep in mind for conversions:
0C is freezing point of water ~32F 20-22C is room temp ~68-72F 30C+ is Unhappy temperatures/hot.
Really only things I need to remember, and gradient based off of. It can get up to 45C where I live, but that would never be important to me. I hate the heat, if it’s 30C+, the degree to which it is hot matters little, I’m going to just want to stay out of the sun or go inside.
