The Dodge Challenger and Charger will both be discontinued in 2024 in favour of hybrids and electric cars.  I guess it wasn't going to be long after Ford bastardized the Mustang into a hybrid SUV crossover that the competition would follow suit.  It's sad to see cars with character reaching the end of their line.

I want to change the full PVP in the server settings to a party PVP. Since all range attacks hit allies, wizards and pets who use magic will attack allies.

I've restarted the server with Party PVP selected.  Hope that helps

From time to time I do need to reboot the server to apply OS updates, but that usually only takes a few minutes.  If the game is down, but the website is up, then we know NWN crashed (it's on the same machine).  It's configured to restart the game if it crashes.

When running natively, there's a way to regularly save the instance and reload the state on startup, but this one is running in a docker container.  I've not been able to get the reload part working in docker, hence things get reset any time the game crashes or we reboot.

I'm game if others are.  It's been so long since I worked on a NWN module, I don't even remember what's involved.  Updating the server with a custom module is easy though.

We're fighting a losing battle, and I'm baffled.  It seems there's a certain percentage of the population that is really adamant against science and fact but zealous to support demonstrably false fictions.  Before the internet this would be things like the moon landing being faked, but now we even have flat earthers proliferating.

The issue du jour is this rampant uptake of ivermectin as a covid cure:

Right-wing pundits and politicians have lent their support to the use of ivermectin, and an extensive NBC News investigation published on Aug. 26 found that its use was being promoted by America’s Frontline Doctors, a group of conspiracy theorists behind a viral PR stunt claiming the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a similar miracle cure. The group’s members have dubious credentials, including Dr. Stella Immanuel, a Texas pediatrician and minister who has previously claimed that gynecological issues are caused by dream sex with demons and that the government is partially run by reptilian aliens.

To these people, it's more plausible that governments, health care organizations, and big pharma are conspiring to push useless (or harmful) vaccines while suppressing viable remedies that could cure covid.

Perhaps what we need is a counter-conspiracy.  Something dumb enough the bleach drinkers can buy.
