It looks really cool, but (IMO) you need to work on selling the game better with the written word. I have no idea what this is except a card game with western and Lovecraftian imagery; how's it different from any other card game app?

Congrats BTW, I've never released anything.

Sorry, leftover bourbon?

I'd rather not go into personal detail but I share a similar experience. The thing that really drove it home for me was when I got back home and was telling my own doctor about my experience dealing with family in the medical system and she said I was mistaken or there was a misunderstanding because that kind of thing doesn't happen. I asked why she was siding with a doctor she'd never met before instead of listening to her patient, which got her pretty flustered. I don't see her anymore.

The big showstopper is what to do with the hypersalinated byproduct. You'd kill anything that was near where it's let out. It's also very corrosive and I imagine the would be a problem moving it far from the plant.

The lines and paved road got put in during the old days of logging, I'd assume it was considered financially impractical for a number of reasons, likely from a legal perspective, due to many private property owners, along with a mixed bag of county, state and federally-owned land sprinkled in there, for a town of around 100 people or so. Things just kind of went along from there.

Nowadays it's all that plus environmental lawsuits.

Well the tree was there a few centuries before the line was. And like I said, it's impractical to fall them.

Maine's trees are tiny compared to the PNW. Most of them would hardly graze the line if they fell over.

It's really difficult to prune, say, 50 miles of Douglas-fir that stands easily over 150-200ft and grows right next to the lines -- many of their limbs are fatter than any tree I saw in the northeast. You'd have to get a crane and block the road off, and one tree could take a good part of a day. Can't fell them either, generally speaking, as you get into all sorts of disputes and the environmentalists will send you to hell 50 different ways with lawsuits.

We could look at it as a problem, but if we keep idiots safe from this bullshit, they'll just go do something equally as stupid. If we get rid of this it'll be one less thing we have to thin out the herd.

I look at it as a solution.

A little tangential, but carriers and hackers can execute arbitrary code on your device through OTA updates with the baseband modem. It's even been done on 5G.

Which also reminds me how the NSA has intentionally crippled standards in the past so they could eavesdrop or inject code without having to go through the carrier. This means Johnny Scriptsalot can do it too.

I don't disagree that it's exploitation, but I think you obscure a very complex problem with "nobody should be in such a weak position".

I'm not sure any economic or legal arrangement could do away with weak positions like that entirely.

Cheaper to hire a felon or immigrant. I'm not saying I agree with this arrangement.

How do we make cleaning septic tanks more enjoyable?

It seems to be the thing nowadays to be preoccupied with the notion of your own identity, and I can't help but feel like it's just navel gazing. Maybe it's social media and the culture of self promotion, but I find it pretty hollow and uninteresting.

I have a young kid in my family that's fixated with gender and sexuality and they said one day "I just want to get diagnosed so I know what I am," to which I said "It's not what you are that's important, it's what you want to do." That seemed to be an epiphany for them.

IIRC GUI support was taken out because one of their long term goals was (is?) to reduce the codebase and to make neovim something you can plug into any text input field. You could use it as a backend for a standalone GUI app, or in Firefox for leaving HN comments. I seem to recall they had plans for an official GUI after they got to a certain point. Not sure if they still do.
