Assuming that's it's just the normal force of Earth's gravity at work on the witch, it's just a case of working Newton's second backwards with the gravitational "constant" acceleration ≈ 9.8 m/s²:

F = ma

980 N = m × 9.8 m/s²

980 / 9.8 = (m × 9.8) / 9.8, units omitted for text clarity

100 kg = m

In other words, op is assuming that an average size witch masses approximately 100kg (or about 220 lbs in fingers, knees, and toes units).

My concern is when they decide to burn the whole building down over the red swingline stapler...

Enh, the tech space is very much innovate or die. So yeah, they could probably throw everything in maintenance mode and make a reduced headcount work, but if AWS goes stagnant it's entirely likely that Amazon goes the way of IBM and Motorol. Especially when someone (likely, Microsoft or Google) comes to take a slice of the AWS market share.

I don't know about a min length; setting a lenient lower bound means that any passwords in that space are going to be absolutely brute force-able (and because humans are lazy, there are almost certainly be passwords clustered around the minimum).

I very much agree with the rest though, it's unnerving when sites have a low max length. It almost feels like advertising that passwords aren't being hashed, and if that's the case there's a snowball's chance in hell that they're also salted. Really restrictive character sets also tell me that said site / company either has super old infra or doesn't know how to sanitize strings (or entirely likely both)...

Even further back if you think about the abominations of taxidermy that got passed off for merfolk and the like (Fiji mermaid)

That one's probably less Randy and more mods doing weird things. PsychicSensitivity is a spectrum trait, meaning that once the game picks a trait for a pawn it then picks a degree level (ie deaf/ dull/ sensitive/ hypersensitive). Under normal circumstances it shouldn't pick the same trait twice.

I'm not sure if it counts as underground (it's been around for ages), but if you've never thought about how your shoelaces contribute to the overall fit and comfort of your shoe, I'd recommend giving Ian's shoelace site a visit.

Arizona has fairly consistent and predictable weather, decently reliable power grids (with access to cleaner energy sources like solar, hydro, and nuclear), and is pretty seismically stable. Plus Phoenix has been trying to set itself up as a bit of a tech hub for a while now so you have access to an existing market of skilled labor plus a supply to fresh talent from ASU (and the other universities).

In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

To answer your question, yes, the game and DLCs go on sale periodically, nothing super crazy, usually topping out at about $5 off or so.

In the spirit of teaching a person to fish and all, you may find IsThereAnyDeal useful. It's got price histories for most platforms and key vendors* and if shopping sales and bundles is your thing you can set up email alerts.

* personally, I like Fanatical or Humble, (and Steam) since their keys are all nice and official, but if you're grayer markets are your thing those are there too

This from the company that brought us AAAA games and needing to get more comfortable with not owning your games. I seem to have misplaced my tiny violin.
