Yeah it’s horrible, but I think it’s made even worse because the premise and concept sounds like it’d make for a really great game. An open world sandbox of ass kicking, like Hell’s Angels meets Fallout with a destructable/interactable environment. It’s such a good idea but unfortunately Rockstar didn’t pick up on it and we got this instead :-/
Some games would simply not install on a second or third machine without getting permission from the publisher.
I remember binning DDR2 RAM on a test bench back in the day and Windows deactivated itself after about a dozen times lol
Weird thing for you to say to someone basically parroting the IPCC’s concerns.
Why would a corporate entity move PP&E to a different country in light of the promise of increasingly favorable tax rates and the threat of tariffs? There’s a reason why US and Ireland are havens. Those things are bolted down
What if a country that holds half the world’s data centers decides to walk out of every global climate accord and start powering those bad boys with fracking due to isolationist trade policies? Won’t amount to zero and in less than a month we find out how that ship is changing its heading
You don’t say.
Do you think the USA is incapable of a meaningful increase in global emissions? My original comment is implying the opposite
That’d be contingent on lots of things, such as random clowns not sabotaging the EPA and selling rights to Federal lands
It’s kind of fun like 3D jigsaw puzzles but I’d honestly rather not be fixing things so much. We got this new place, inspection turned out fine, but turns out previous owner didn’t find a single stud and used 1" screws on everything in the drywall. Had to redo all the closet shelves, hang closet doors, you name it lol
I think the half of the dash and the entire center console on a G37 was about the trickiest thing. Center console lid has a little gear-driven mechanism and you need to flip the entire console upside down to fix, but I needed to stop everything and go to the dealership for a little plastic cog.
But we’re in the middle of moving into a new place and our dishwasher was leaking so I pulled the entire ‘tub’ yesterday and inside front panel off to see if fitment was an issue, mostly wasting time while a couch was scheduled to be delivered, so I stopped the dishwasher project to assemble the couch (power reclining thing), then had to put the entire thing back together afterword (one of those Maytag ‘chopper’ models with a built in food disposal thing). But to pull the tub I had to remove the heater blower and chop chop thing and the control board and the water jets and all that… And then I realized a new dishwasher is like 500 bucks lol
I wouldn’t call it a skill but I’m really mechanically decent (3D puzzles and Rube Goldberg aptitude, that kind of thing), and my visual memory is really good, so I have the uncanny ability to tear apart household appliances, do something else for hours or days, then return and slap it all back together about as quickly with no leftover mystery screws. I just look at the shit all strewn about, and can somehow recall the very last thing I was holding and work backwords
But her research was peer reviewed by Alex Jones
"They could totally just make this thing stop and dump the water in the ocean.”
I wish we could make that thing stop
Zoom CEO Eric Yuan is pushing hard for AI with everything — he’s long advocated sending “clones” to meetings.
These ‘return to office’ meeting-loving clowns are pieces of work. Imagine a meeting so important that you can literally walk out of the room
Dude’s ‘about to sneeze’ face leaves me feeling like this might be intentional
I wouldn’t judge him on that alone because the writer doesn’t inform us if these holdings are part of a diversified pile of bonds from other foreign nations, but everything else in that article is pretty damning. “I wish they lifted sanctions”, gee wonder why
Title is fucking metal. Box is wild. Panned as one of the worst games ever made
Bro about to get a judgment on his Facebook page 😂
I think JD Vance is a sellout with absolutely no principles, turning his back on his ideals to ride Trump’s coattails, but this doesn’t really strike me as anything outrageous.
Some tech bros have reinvented the wheel yet again, this time by making an app centered on 1031 ‘like-kind’ transactions, which is already big in agriculture (trade land for cash in a transaction that isn’t a taxable event and maintain the rights to farm on it). It’s pretty popular because often, there’s a generational rift where someone’s kids don’t want to farm, so they use the land as a retirement vehicle and cash out, but I digress. They’re basically the ‘we buy ugly houses’ version of that hooplah.
We have very lax laws in regard to foreign investors purchasing real estate or investing in securities, and they don’t seem to be soliciting foreign investors. Foreign companies don’t normally solicit American investors but if you have mutual funds in your 401k you probably hold BABA and BIDU. It’s a privately traded company so one must be an Accredited Investor, last I checked the biggest hurdle for that is net worth >$1MM.
Don’t get me wrong, I think people in office should divest from most things including bonds (policy can affect yields) but this seems a little bit less scummy than Door Dash (those guys are blood sucking parasites for small restaurants)
But you think it’s uplifting the American public is being lied to a month before the election with a promise that has 0% chance of coming true?
Fiscal Year 2025 started October 1st, Congress approved a stop gap so they can continue appropriations. You think a president shouldn’t announce anything or do anything in the months leading up to an election?
Also, it’s lead pipes. We don’t use them anymore. Every pipe replaced is a step forward. Biden just announced a deadline.
They’ve been consistently disbursing funds for this and this time is no different. Here’s last May’s news : https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/biden-harris-administration-announces-3-billion-lead-pipe-replacement-advance-safe
A couple companies make them like TunerRack but I think the biggest issue is that it’s no longer compatible with the scissor jack. A couple other issues are that the ones that use grub screws to pinch the welds can come off if the grub screws back out from vibration, and the kinds that require drilling sometimes develop obnoxious rattle if they wind up having play.
But the most unintended outcome of all this is usually those things are nice shiny anodized bits, so people tend to still use pads, which kind of defeats the purpose
