FF14 is actually a lot more forgiving of that more casual gameplay style. It's very easy to gear up after a break for anything outside of Savage and Ultimate raiding (and even then, you can buy or craft the week 1 gear if you want to get into Savage), the dungeon roulette system makes it so it's generally always possible to find people to complete content with, even if it's older, and unless you want to get into housing there's not really any penalty for say subbing for one month, taking a break afterwards and then coming back when you have time to play, outside of missing out on seasonal events (and generally any exclusives you get from those events get put on the cash shop the following year).

Also, FFXI player here as well, the ability for that game to run on low speed connections was frankly impressive for the time. I remember playing it using an infrared GPRS data connection on my laptop 😂 Sure it lagged a bit in city areas but the fact that it was still playable was a feat.

They actually just expanded it to the second expansion, so you now get the base game of A Realm Reborn, as well as Heavensward and Stormblood included in the free trial.

It's also releasing for beta on Xbox later this year (currently it's PC and PS4/5) so there's due to be a new influx of players as well, so it's a good time to start playing. That and the new expansion is due out in the new year too.

I'm sure those photos from last year where the area around the racetrack flooded while the track itself was perfectly fine are probably on people's minds as well.

Whilst it's a topic that can get very personal (which is why invariably political discussions ultimately get heated very quickly, as this thread has shown), I think the point here essentially boils down to pointing out what not voting means.

In a system where you have one side doing their best to amplify the weight votes for them have (whether that be through gerrymandering, the electoral college, etc), not voting just increases that amplification. So whilst on paper not voting demonstrates your lack of confidence in either side (and let's be honest, without some real changes it's a two horse race), in reality that decision is primarily (not exclusively, but primarily) benefiting one side of politics.

If you're making the decision to not vote with full knowledge of what that means, realistically I think that's all someone can ask without getting into a discussion about trying to change your mind about that decision.

Only if it also comes with a picture of Zoidberg.

Because if you make it recurring you have justification to keep a card on file. Which means a good percentage of people will set it up and then forget about it. And if it remains yearly it'll happen infrequently enough that people probably won't bother cancelling it. Even if the price goes up.

Pretty sure ours have always been about this size. Wasn't anything new.

$2.50 at our local polling booth, or $4 with a can of drink as well. Onions included for free if you wanted them. And they had card facilities.

Only downside was they had obviously cooked a batch earlier and were just keeping them warm so they'd cooled a bit by the time we got there. Still, got my democracy sausage and voted, so all good in the end!

I could have sworn rule 34 was something else.

My solution to this has just been to run it in Docker. Update the container and redeploy and it's working again. Only had it happen once or twice though, so not sure if what you're describing is what I experienced or something different.

I use ocserv to provide a Cisco AnyConnect compatible VPN server. There's an SSL proxy running on port 443 of my gateway so the VPN is only accessible using the right domain name, and the server is running in a Docker container.

Main reason I go for ocserv over OpenVPN or Wireguard is when I used to travel to China for work I found it was able to get past the Chinese firewalls. No idea if it still holds true but a few years ago it was fine.

Tomorrow's headline, "Millenials are single handedly killing the breakfast industry".

They did pull that bullshit here though. Personal Hotspot on iOS was a paid extra feature in most cases when it first launched back in iOS 7 (can't speak to the Android side of things personally), assuming you could get it at all. It didn't become standard until later. It's generally standard these days thankfully but it wasn't always.

Or anyone who has to work with Americans. Especially when you also work with other countries as well. You can't assume dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy blindly in either case. yyyy-mm-dd solves the issue entirely because both sides at least agree that yyyy-dd-mm isn't a thing.

44 billion for the brand, but more importantly the user base. Although let's not discount the tech behind the scenes. Any decent programmer or sysadmin might be able to spin up a copy of Twitter in a few days. But it's not going to scale to the size Twitter is, and have all the moderation and legal tools Twitter does (although Elon is gutting those by the day), integrate into as many places as Twitter does, have the app infrastructure Twitter does, etc.

But regardless, all those things are irrelevant without people actually using the service. No clone is going to have the user base, and even with the rebrand to X, Elon still has a lot of users. Not as many as when he started, but still a lot. That's what the 44 billion bought.

I can only assume this was the registration form for that Mr Beast video where he had 100 people in a room with one person of each age from 1 to 100.

...gonna be honest here, I've never given the name enough thought to make the connection. Just assumed it was all about clowning on console and mobile gamers and that was it.

Mine was back in 1999 courtesy of this:

The Linux Pocketbook from APCMag, which included a full copy of Red Hat 5.2 (according to this image, I vaguely recall the copy I had had a slightly different cover so they might have updated it). Having it on CD was a big deal back when we still had dial up! I remember how daunting the command line was at that point - like I had grown up on DOS and then Win 3.11, but a full blown Unix system was not something I was used to at that point.

For some extra context, my PC at that stage was a Packard Bell desktop 😅
