Cryo archive right now is like a coin flip if you get instantly murdered in your own spawn, or instead manage to get to 2, try to push into someone else’s spawn, meet and barely win against a team trying the same thing to you, then get easily stomped by a third team trying to etc

Contactless payments require an intact card with its embedded antenna and chip. mastercard.com/news/perspecti… nationwidepaymentsystems.com/how-tap-to-pay… shopify.com/blog/tap-to-pay

As a kid I went through the phase many of us do, that of being disappointed we missed all the giant reptiles and got birds instead. But I understand now

The PAWS (Portland Area Whimsy Service) has issued a rainbow watch. Conditions are favorable for a potential rainbow. If a rainbow is sighted, this will be upgraded to a warning.
