My god I'm imagining a B-tier live action remake of American Dad and it's horrifying.

It has co-op, which with this patch now works between consoles and PCs.

It's not even necessarily the ISPs that are doing it. In many cases they don't like this because their users start getting blocked on websites; it's bad actors piggy-packing on legitimate users connections without those users' knowledge.

There are residential IP providers that provide services to scrapers, etc. that involves them having thousands of IPs available from the same IP ranges as real users. They route traffic through these IPs via malware, hacked routers, "free" VPN clients, etc. If you block the IP range for one of these addresses you'll also block real users.

When I worked for a startup we'd sometimes go out for lunch and everyone would have a drink or two. We also kept beer in the office fridge but that was reserved for more Friday afternoons.

Yes but there are ways to protect against that. For instance you can configure Tailscale clients to only trust nodes that have been signed by trusted nodes, or something like that.

It's not soaring demand but cratering supply that's spiking prices. Millions of chickens were culled due to bird flu and so there's an egg shortage.

Worth noting the US seems to be harder hit than other countries because of how densely they pack hens together.

I think as a young child I had a banana flavoured oral antibiotic drink drug for an ear infection.

Once his party picks a new leader, yes.

I don't think it's void exactly - there's some stuff around visas that's still active. But yeah, as far as being a trade agreement it's pretty worthless.

Just going to mention that if you're okay with non-FOSS office software, I really like Softmaker's suite (their buy-once non-subscription version).
