I think he might be asking about a tabletop wargame, rather than a video game wargame; the question was originally posted to [email protected], which deals with tabletop wargames rather than video game wargames. The crosspost kind of lost that context.

Methods of Execution Allowed in Alabama
Lethal injection is the primary method of execution allowed in Alabama. Also, the state allows the use of nitrogen hypoxia as an alternative method.
Looks like you're out of luck.

The hanging of Billy Bailey is likely to be the final hanging in the United States, considering that all three of the states that maintained hanging as a secondary method of execution alongside lethal injection after the 1976 restoration of the death penalty have now abolished executions. Delaware's Supreme Court declared the death penalty to be in violation of their state constitution in 2016,[20] Washington abolished executions in 2018,[21] and New Hampshire abolished executions in 2019.[22] However, the last person on death row in the three states is Michael K. Addison in New Hampshire, convicted in 2008 of the 2006 murder of Michael Briggs, an on-duty police officer. Should the state carry out Addison's execution, the method could be hanging if lethal injection was found unconstitutional or inefficient, or if he chooses to be executed by hanging.

Raised by wolves
Hessian wolf-children[19]: 15–7 [20] (1304, 1341 and 1344) lived with the Eurasian wolf in the forests of Hesse:
- The first boy (1304) was taken by wolves at age 3 and found when 7 or 8 by Benedictine monks, the wolves having cared for him by "surrounding him in cold weather, and fed him the best meat from the hunt." He was later sent to the court of Prince Henry, and became accustomed to human society but said he preferred the wolves.[21]
Frankly, Alabama, I think that you need to up your child-rearing game to at least wolf-level.
Starmer, being Starmer, attempted to regain control of the narrative by calling an emergency press conference, during which he solemnly declared, "We cannot allow Britain's moral fibre to unravel at the hands of lonely men and women with unlimited data." As per usual, he delivered this statement from a sun lounger in Puerto Rico, completely topless and drinking milk from a coconut.
I feel like if you're the Prime Minister of the UK, you've got an obligation to do the British Virgin Islands or at least Jamaica if you're doing the Caribbean, not Puerto Rico.
For an example of the privacy implications, we just had a story up on this community (or another, not sure) about the Tea identity leak:
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/us/tea-safety-dating-app-hack.html
On Friday, Tea said that hackers had breached a data storage system, exposing about 72,000 images, including selfies and photo identifications of its users.
Data from the hack, including photos of women and of identification cards containing personal details, appeared to circulate online on Friday.
That was yesterday. I seriously doubt that this is going to be the last time something like this happens.
I said it the other day when the UK mandate just went into force and Reddit started having people in the UK required to take pictures of their IDs to get access to NSFW subreddits: if you get people used to having websites demand photos of identity documents, I strongly suspect you are gonna have some serious fraud
and privacy
issues down the line when less-than-salubrious websites start getting people to take and hand over identity document photos.
You don't, but it's considerably quieter to use a liquid cooler on current high-end CPUs because of the amount of heat they dissipate. My current CPU has a considerably higher TDP than my last desktop's. I finally broke down and put an AIO cooler on the new one, and all the fans on the radiator can run at a much lower speed than my last CPU because the radiator is a lot larger than one hanging directly off the CPU, can dump heat to the air a lot more readily.
The GPU on that system, which doesn't use liquid cooling, has to have multiple slots and a supporting rail to support the weight because it has a huge heatsink hanging on a PCI slot that was never intended to support that kind of load, and the fans are far more spun up when it heats up.
The amount of power involved these days is getting pretty high. My early PCs could manage with entirely passive cooling, just a heatsink. Today, the above CPU dumps 250W and the above GPU 400W. I have a small space heater in the same room that, on low, runs at 400W.
Frankly, if I had a convenient mounting point in the case for the radiator, with the benefit of hindsight, I'd seriously have considered sticking an AIO liquid-cooled GPU in there
there are a few manufacturers that do those. The GPU is a lot louder than the CPU when both are spun up.
I will kind of agree on the RGB LEDs, though. It's getting obnoxiously difficult to find desktop hardware that doesn't have those. My last build, I was having difficulty finding DIMMs that didn't have RGB LEDs; not normally a component that I think of anyone wanting to make visible.
I'm kind of wondering whether we'll get to the point where one just has a standard attachment point for liquid and just hooks the hardware's attachment into a larger system that circulates fluid. Datacenters would become quiet places.
Markdown treats a single newline as a space, so that already wrapped text doesn't need to be rewrapped. If you want to have each item on one line, some options:
Two spaces before newline
Foo << two spaces here
Bar
Yields
Foo
Bar
Backslash before newline
Foo\
Bar
Yields
Foo
Bar
Paragraph Break
Most clients will have a "larger" vertical space if you do this. Use a double newline:
Foo
Bar
Yields
Foo
Bar
Bulleted List
* Foo
* Bar
Yields
- Foo
- Bar
I don't think that it's as common today, and it's definitely not common in the open-source-oriented software world that I tend to inhabit, but I do remember seeing the phrase "proprietary technology" used in a positive sense on various products in the past. Maybe 1990s or so. The idea is, I suppose, that if the technology is proprietary, this is the only product where you can get it, and the implication is that it's better.
"If a 4,000-pound SUV runs a red light, they get a ticket and you pay it online. You're done with it in a matter of minutes. But if a 60-pound bicycle runs a red light, then they can get a criminal summons, which means you have to take a day off of work, go to court, probably you should hire a lawyer. And if you are an immigrant, then that can put you at risk of deportation," Berlanga said.
I'm in California, not in New York City, but I have to say that while I have seen cars run red lights, it is exceedingly rare, whereas I see bicyclists doing it all the time. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if New York City has a similar situation. Whether-or-not the current situation is a good one, I do think that there's a lack of deterrence as things stand.
EDIT: And while that's the most egregious issue, I also see:
People riding their bikes on the street at night without a light, which they are required to have here. This one boggles me, because I've almost been hit on a number of occasions while bicycling with a light at night, and now use both a regular headlight and a flashing headlight and a flashing taillight to increase visibility. People who bicycle in black clothes with no lights at night are crazy, even issues of illegality aside, and I see those every night.
Not nearly as common, but bicyclists cycling the wrong way down roads. Automobiles don't do this.
The things you're describing aren't really version control systems themselves. Git is a version control system; these are an ecosystem of web-based tools surrounding that version control system.
I don't know if there's a good term for these.
