Yup, I've had Pandora for many years. It's cheap, no ads, but you don't get to pick what it plays.

Damp paper towel.

I like my glasslock. Glass body, plastic/rubber top. They seal incredibly well, you can turn it upside down and shake and it won't leak.

Just don't microwave it with the top on. I just toss a damp paper towel over it before microwaving.

I would crush them and sprinkle them on top just prior to eating.

I'm a fan of taco soup. Plenty of recipes out there to find one that works for you. The gist is some stock, beans, tomatoes, green peppers, ground beef, and taco seasoning mix. You can add some onions, or cheese, or sour cream, or crushed taco chips (stale works great), or some extra spice from peppers... basically anything goes.

The full quote is:

“John Kennedy believed so strongly that one’s aim should not just be the most comfortable life possible, but that we should all do something to right the wrongs we see, and not just complain about them. We owe that to our country, and our country will suffer if we don’t serve her. He believed that one man can make a difference – and that every man should try.“

And it was Former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy who said it.

Nah, I'm good. I skimmed it and I see 2 view points, everyone who thinks it's stupid, and you trying to keep the party going.

Gonna be real honest here, there’s no 'debate' to be had here. Anyone thinking there is a debate to be had here probably has ulterior motives and is being disingenuous.

No one should normalize this 'debate'.

I can’t fathom how anyone, besides a bigot, would want a mod to remove an option, that they are free to not choose, from a video game. It's like a mod for BG3 that removes the wizard class from character creation because you don't want to play a wizard.

The people who don’t care for choosing pronouns, chose one just fine. They didn’t quit the game during character creation and look for a mod to remove a choice, that they were free to not choose.

JFC.

No.

The elected officials who actually give a shit about you and are trying to help aren't millionaires and this will severely impact them.

The elected officials who don't give a shit if you die starving in the gutter are already millionaires and won't give a shit about their salary.

Don't try and low ball me, I know what I have...

The inventory system was acceptable 20 years ago when 1024x768 was a good resolution. Today it’s bad, and I don’t understand why some people can’t just admit that. It’s kinda telling that after an hour or so of play I started to look for mods to fix my pain points. Nearly 400k people are using the mod StarUI Inventory. I have an ultra wide monitor, and I have to configure my FoV in an ini file. It’s also an HDR monitor... I have to disable HDR on because it’s basically unplayable right now. Flashlight reflections on anything close to shiny are blinding.

The procedural generation doesn’t deserve the praise it’s getting. It’s no where near as complicated as people think. It’s not generating the terrain, it’s just picking from a set of giant pre-made tiles and dropping some rocks and trees on them. It’s not generating the buildings, just picking from a set of pre-made buildings. It’s not even filling the buildings procedurally… I had 2 quests in a row that used the same building. Identical building map, same robot you could reprogram near the front door. Same barricades, same small safe on a desk with the same 2 digikeys on a table just around the corner… There’s only so many cave maps too, but it does look like they block off some of the tunnels with rubble so it feels like more. I explored 2 caves in a row that had the same map, with the same safe up on a cliff you have to jump to.

It’s not ‘bad’, but it’s not as good as it should be. Once you start seeing it, you can’t un-see it and the vast amount of content shrinks. It makes me a little sad knowing how many people worked on this, and how long they worked on it, that we didn’t get more out of it.

Yeah, it's kinda sad I played for about an hour before I started looking for mods. I don't understand why they have the same crappy menu system still.

Question is will any colleges of value accept such an exam?

Yes, and any college that does should be a giant red flag to prospective students. (edit missread you)

No college of value will accept and any college that does should be a giant red flag to prospective students.

I really hope the young people in Florida are paying attention to just how fucked their prospects are due to republican governance.

You’re hearing about it for the first time, because it’s not a realistic issue. The math is (I assume) correct, but the circumstances describe are impossible.

If you boil down the authors claim, it comes down to:

If you extract energy from a system, with a finite rate of replenishment, at an exponentially growing rate, eventually all of the energy will be absorbed.

To me, that’s a ‘no shit’ sorta thing.

The author is saying if we use tidal energy to cover 1% of our total energy usage AND if we assume our energy usage will increase exponentially year by year, after 1000 years we’ll stop the earth spinning.

No shit.

If we sap an exponentially growing amount of energy from the earth’s inertia, at some point in the future it will stop because the amount of energy feeding into the system (sun) is relatively fixed in value.

If I was to bet, this paper was tongue in cheek joke between the student and their instructor.

More realistically Ukraine has been requesting them for a while and the US finally gave in since the UK gave them some recently.

Is running an optical usb, and optical hdmi cable an option?

I have 2,500 hours in Ark.

The thing is Ark isn't a dino game, it's a scifi survival/exploration game. You start from nothing and work towards conquering the island and discovering it's secrets.

I really hope you like it. To me it is best played with friends on a private server, or a server with good rules and active admins.

This was EXACTLY my experience.

I'm currently playing Mercenaries Blaze. It's very similar to FFT, but heavy on combat and light on stories. Between each fight there is a 2-5 minute cut scene to push the story forward, but nothing ridiculous. The game has some balance issues, but if the main story quests are too difficulty, you can run a few training missions and level up and get caught up in no time.
