Got my family's outdoor railing re-attached to the brickwork today. I had put it off for awhile since drilling into brick sounds like a ton of work. Turns out the right tool for the job, a hammer drill, makes it quite straightforward. :)

Spring really helps with motivation, already got a few items off the list this season!

Absolutely!

Here is a feature comparison between the two.

tl;dr: It's a great piece of software that does everything the vast majority of people will ever want it for. For the other percent, it does some things MS Office can't do and vice versa.

The good news is it looks like it is only the 13" systems being paused for now. And they likely can get them going again once they figure out the new tariff reqs and get the new prices integrated on the website.

They raised prices a ton, and they didn't even switch to the better sensor type that would fix such a persistent issue? Why?

Even in that scenario it will complicate the setup. Now your Roku will also have to power your TV? No, any sane setup will have a separate power cable for the TV.

Yeah, Jaguars/Land Rovers already don't sell great and are really damn expensive.

I would say, put a reasonable effort into finding the owner. If the owner cannot be found, it's finders keepers.

Key thing about trying to find owners of lost things: You cannot just say 'is this your $200'. You need to do something more like, 'I'm trying to find the owner of some lost money' and if they claim it is theirs, ask them how much it was. This way you filter out grifters.

I would also say going to the police over $200 is well beyond reasonable effort. It just isn't enough money to justify using their time.

HL1 is a bit clunky but still great.

Try out Black Mesa. It's a proper remake of HL1, not just a reskin. They did a damn good job, including a very large build out of the Xen levels, making it into a proper portion of the game, rather than what existed in HL1 which felt a bit rushed.

Half life 2 is so damn good. One of my most replayed games.

And full points to Black Mesa for actually improving the game, not just reskinning it. 10/10

Ah, I could see that. It does have quite a bit of such things.

Doom 2016 (Dropped this, sadly. Gunplay and parkour was AWESOME, but the whole devil worship thing really turned me off).

Off topic, but this game is the exact opposite of devil worship. The primary gameplay is to travel to Hell and kill demons.

Cyberpunk 2077. It's a futuristic FPS that feels very similar to GTA. I personally like the integration between uploading viruses to enemies while you shoot at them. And the stories are often quite good.

You can get it on sale for half price. And the Phantom Liberty DLC is worth getting bundled with it.

Or car infotainment software....which for some reason is on the same communications network as all of a car's safety-critical systems...

Absolutely anything to avoid the metric system! If we, as Americans, has to measure in quotation marks, we damn sure will!

The article compares it to a well done page of text for Charles Dickens from a previous game. They want it more like that: "Fun facts! Good gags! Frikkin’ frequent paragraph breaks!"

It goes on to say: "I’d settle for the game bothering to clue me into who its major historical cameos actually are. Shadows is a huge game with a massive cast, and yet bizarrely you won’t find pages about any of the characters in your codex, fictional or otherwise. Who is Hattori Hanzō, and why doesn’t the game care to explain why I should be so impressed when he shows up?"

You are the only one who has mentioned any of this. Please don't fight ghosts.

You bastard!

Maybe. All the users dying not only lowered the number of users in a very direct fashion, but likely convinced a bunch of others to seek their high elsewhere.

Given they are such a small country, they can certainly produce some things locally. Obvious choices are small arms, artillery, and MRAPs. Anything beyond that they could probably pick one thing to specialize in, such as anti-air missile production or destroyer production, then export these to other countries. They currently export F-35 components, among other things.

However, expanding past that would be too inefficient for their size. Everything else they will need to buy from a partner. This will almost certainly include production from other European countries as well as the US.
