Subtractive notation only works for the previous decade - IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, CM, etc.
Roman numerals just transcribe the state of an abacus 🧮, so IM and ID make no sense. "IM" would be CMXCIX, "ID" CDXCIX.
Mediaeval extensions just made sh!t up.

They can't release files attached to an active investigation. That's why they only became available recently - when DT demanded the case be closed.
He's already announced a new investigation into the same, except only against his political opps.
So expect a lot of material tied up again.

They experience swear words, so it affects them. They don't directly experience the others¹, so they are not personally affected.
Seems like a form of sociopathic behaviour.

Excellent up to Jaka's Story; then the author goes off the rails, and any legacy this comic deserved up till then is lost in his controversy.

On the flip side, at a former employer, it was only discovered during a major reorg that one guy on the payroll had been dead for several years.
Fortunately he wasn't at his desk - although that wouldn't have been inconceivable.

That is just an insult to the dumbed down remake business model, and no doubt will be made illegal by presidential decree outside of the free world.

We did play & run AD&D into the 90s. By that time, it was very much our own game. But this was also part of games clubs - not privately with friends.
We pretty much always played other #ttrpg there. In fact, my first ever game was Traveller in c.78.

There is no intelligence in current AI. It doesn't add anything and only outputs something inferior to its input.
If that output is added to the input, you have a downwards spiral.
It can be useful in research; finding disparate correlations. But these need real intelligence to assess.

Trump relies on his victims settling out of court, as none of his cases have legal merit. Instead, he uses his position as leverage to extort settlements.
