We kicked off our two weeks of B games with a classic: Battleship. @peterdrake beat me by a ship and change. He had amazing luck. My two-point destroyer was the first boat he found and sank.

This is the copy my brother and I played as kids. Do they still print the rules inside the lid of the box? And do kids still try to cheat by marking the spots their opponent has already called and then moving their ships mid-game to avoid being hit?

Moderna is planning to charge $130 for its COVID vaccine, but the vaccine only costs $2.85 to make.

Meanwhile, over the last two years, the company made over $19 billion in profits off the vaccine.

It's completely re-written from the ground up using 100% SwiftUI and other technologies like Swift Concurrency, Combine, CloudKit-backed Core Data, etc. It is snappy as heck too!
Let me know by sending me your email in a DM for a TF invite.

It’s a shame that we probably won’t play Arkadia again soon enough for me to remember any lessons learned.

The friend teaching us to play warned us not to put off scoring, that we should expect a slow start that would suddenly accelerate to the end. So, of course, I put off scoring and was surprised when the end came upon us all of a sudden. 🤣

It was also hard to remember that while you must place your people, the key to scoring is surrounding buildings.

This is fascinating! The Braille Institute has developed a font - free to download - that's designed to be clearer for readers with lower vision.

An example of one of the aspects of low legibility that they tackled attached.

It's named Atkinson Hyperlegible. Atkinson was the Institute's founder - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Atkinson
