Hey, I’ve been doing this 30 years and just learned it today, you have NOTHING to feel bad about. :)

Or cheese.

I was part of the hardcore build it yourself crew for years and years, but I find now that for the last 10 years or so now, and especially with the death of places like Fry’s and all the bullshit Newegg pulled, it’s way easier and cheaper to buy a pre-built box that’s maybe 90-95% there, then tweak what you need to tweak.

Get that manufacturers warranty and forget trying to part it out yourself.

$3,500 here.

Pretty much. Try getting a job without online access, or applying for state and federal benefits. Or getting a doctor through your insurance plan.

“I demand summary judgement!”

“GRANTED!”

“No… not like that…”

IIRC this is the case where his lawyers neglected to ask for a jury trial, so it’s all on the judge and he IS NOT having it…

Found liable for sexual assault and defamation in civil court isn’t quite the same as “convicted sex offender” in criminal court.

For example, he doesn’t (yet) have to join a sex offender registry.

Sounds like someone wasn’t able to ship product and had their licensing pulled…

“what happens next is… unchartered territory.”

You better have your operations in order!

Open the scanner and quicktravel everywhere…

Gosar is such a tool.

You know it’s bad when his own family said “Yeah, don’t vote for this guy.”

Hilarious that it even embedded the tweet so you can see it’s not an accurate quote.

Bad enough when humans do it, adding nothing.

Weird choice of graphic. Why flip the US and place it on the left?

The Chinese map isn’t flipped, so it’s not a case of the entire graphic being mirrored…

“Characters: Fixed an issue that could cause some characters to not be in their proper location.”

Ooh, I wonder if I can finally pick up that guy in the medbay…

Edit No, no they did not. :(

Pointless survey since we don’t have national elections.

We won’t have a real understanding until we can count Trump primary votes and compare that to the state by state results in the 2016 primary and general.

Then it’s matter of following state by state polling until election day.

“Additionally, Mr Biden’s age remains a problem for many who believe at 80 years old, he is too old to run again.”

Trump will be the same age Biden is now in 2026.

I’ve been playing it back and forth with Baldur’s Gate 3 (Baldur’s Field!) and I have to say, I’m enjoying it more than BG.

Things like combat are just so much easier than in a turn based game controlling multiple characters. I get EXHAUSTED playing BG3. Starfield I can plug in for hours and not really think about it.

If I could tune the other characters in my party in BG so they could run autonomously and all I had to worry about was my character, it would be a lot less tiring.

I would love to teach again, but aside from the fact that, physically, standing and talking for 8 hours a day is outside my reach now, I would also take probably a 66% to 75% paycut to do it. :(

“Gaming”

“Sub $1,000”

My gut reaction is “choose one”.

You might be able to get a gaming laptop under $1K but get ready to replace it in 2 years.
