Maybe the author, being Czech, wanted to look beyond the quintessential Slavic contribution to the genre. It’s the only explanation I can think of.

The idea that monsters can be understood, and spared because in the end they’re exhibiting human flaws, is such a powerful storytelling device.

The DOD terms are RADHAZ and HERP (Hazards of EM Radiation to Personnel.) There is plenty of literature out there on what frequencies turn you into a microwave oven for cooking your insides, based on your length as a living antenna.

Out of curiosity, where do you shop instead? Around me the prices are better than any other stores except Aldi.

Then why keep signing up? You clearly don’t need the bulk quantities, so why put up with that inconvenience?

To justify the subscription I made the commitment to buy all my necessities there that I could, and in return I get back the equivalent of a month’s worth of free groceries.

Really toxic security anti-pattern.

I’m locked out of my 20 year old wikipedia account because they instituted 2fa without asking and my email on file was no longer valid.

What they need is a culture of UX focus, and I don’t think it’s present in the hardware team either.

They’ve coasted too long on consistent visual identity, and even that’s been slipping. Time to focus on actual user needs.
