LOL I saw queues of 15000 people long to get in a server

I'm currently watching twitch streams in the background for drops even tho I probably won't be playing any games any time soon. But if the time allows for it, I'll have some looooooot

Memor-X

from what i saw from Discord people are saying that the server limits is like 2k while some serves have queues of +100k waiting

@Batophobia those are the new players gifts. Which in a way are greater than the alleged anni ones.

The fact that you can't change the owner of a meeting in Outlook (or more specifically, a series of meetings) is a giant missing feature. Me and the next most senior guy on the team are swapping team lead duties every several months, but he still owns all the meetings as it's kind of a pain in the ass to recreate them all.

@MBraedley we had this exact issue recently. very annoying.

We hired someone to do some dedicated tasks which had a series of meetings associated with it

and in the end we had to cancel all future events so that they could create a new meeting series

Nzall

@MBraedley have you considered having predictably recurring meetings not being organized by anyone on your team, but rather a special user who is shared among your team?

MBraedley

@Nzall That's not a terrible idea, but still probably more work than should be necessary.

And I'd have to get IT involved, and it'd be a whole big thing when the team lead changes again. It wouldn't be worth the headaches, especially when the real solution is for MS to implement the feature.

Just Crusader Kings things

tl;dr player's children come down with smallpox, they proceed to send them to enemy courts as wards to infect them

Nzall

Quick note: I just got a booster shot for tetanus and diphtheria (and maybe pertussis as well, not sure). If you're an adult, it's recommended to get it roughly every 10 years

Fredy31

Well, i guess any strategy is a good strategy.

And yeah, real life was much more metal. Should find when that was, but there was a place where a siege was going on, and the attacking army just started to trebuchet their dead of smallpox in the city to force the city to surrender

History of biological warfare

Various types of biological warfare (BW) have been practiced repeatedly throughout history. This has included the use of biological agents (microbes and plants) as well as the biotoxins, including venoms, derived from them. Before the 20th century, the use of biological agents took three major forms: Deliberate contamination of food and water with poisonous or contagious material Use of microbes, biological toxins, animals, or plants (living or dead) in a weapon system Use of biologically inoculated fabrics and personsIn the 20th century, sophisticated bacteriological and virological techniques...

Biological Warfare is older than antiquity

During a protracted siege of the city, in 1345–1346 the Mongol Golden Horde army of Jani Beg, whose mainly Tatar troops were suffering from the disease, catapulted infected corpses over the city walls of Kaffa to infect the inhabitants,[74] though it is more likely that infected rats travelled across the siege lines to spread the epidemic to the inhabitants.
