My understanding of the joke is less about tables, more about pontification; I.e. "it is so because we say it is".

automatically read aloud

Oof. I've got some mates with word choices that would raise some questions from the toddler.

Ah. An EEE move by Sony? Embrace (Steam), Extend (add PSN requirement), Extinguish (bye Steam).

With the 5 Eyes agreement, the they're one and the same.

Bear in mind that "free speech" just means you can't be arrested for what you say.

When someone's talk is being boycotted or - in this case - refused entry to a region, their free speech rights aren't being infringed.

That said, I (and the French, it seems) agree with your sentiment, this is totally an appalling move by Germany.

Coming from No Man's Sky with its six(?) ground vehicles, Starfield was a painful slog.. Not to mention all the forced animations and loading screens.

This actually got a good laugh out of me. I have a toddler, and I can see what you did totally made sense in your mind, and that it was dad's fault for not being specific enough with the instructions.

On mine it's only available from the Izzy repo, not the main fdroid one.

Edit: Here's the source code. Try with either Izzy or Obtainium to install.

Egyptians didn't have cranes

But they did have storks, which are almost as good.

Look up "Stanford marshmallow experiment".

Hahahah. I don't know how my sleep-deprived brain got to "I am Bob".

Yeah, audio isn't my preferred medium, but since I now commute by car instead of public transport, it's the only viable means of book consumption for me. It's unfortunate because a bad narrator can turn me off of an otherwise good book.

Sanderson's Skyward series have different narrators on Spotify and Audible. One of them I could not stand for more than 5 minutes. The other, Sophie Aldred, is a real pleasure to listen to.
