Nah, it will just become YOUTUBE SEARCH, YOUTUBEMAIL, YOUTUBECHAT, and YOUTUBEMAPS

Yeah, my comment was not meant as a "there they are officer, book em'" kind of thing. I was just being snarky and pointing out, that Texas already had a weird relationship with Israli politics. Not like the GOP cares about maintaining consistent views anyways.

Texas passed a law in 2022 preventing Texas from doing business with companies that "boycott Israel" can we somehow get rid of Cruz and Cornyn for this? https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/GV/htm/GV.2271.htm

The boss from Saints Row

What is a Dad Cleric?

Yeah, I ugly cried for a good 30 minutes from the end of The Good Place. It was excellent but it hit me really hard.

The commercials in the film were an excellent addition.

Ours have been above and below in Texas but that is a whole other issue.

I have a 34" curved one at home and a 34" flat one at work. I do CAD work on both from time to time.

The curve was annoying initially because straight lines looked curved but once I got the monitor to the proper height, it went away.

At work, the straight one bothers me now because the edges of the monitor are farther away than the center and it makes everything look smaller when snapped to the sides.

I prefer the curved one now.

The railroad guys got dealt a realllllllllly shitty hand with that one.

Happy to share. I didn't grow up playIng Jet Set Radio but that is the game Sunset Overdrive gets compared to most often.

Sunset Overdrive is great if you like punk music. Saint's Row, all of them.

It is really campy and the books are much better than the movie but John Dies at the End is a fun movie that doesn't take it too seriously.

That is part of why I liked New Vegas so much, they were just like "yeah you can kill Caesar in camp, go ahead, the story is now differerent and you don't get these quests but oh well, your choice"

Kind of the flip of the question but far cry 5 was particularly infuriating when it came to bullshit plot devices that override the players choices/skills. The boss fights were rigged with fixed outcomes regardless of what you hit the boss with. The fact that you could hit an unarmored human in the head with a rpg and see the explosion but the game was just like "yeah but the story says he's alive so he's alive. Also he is about to wreck your shit for... reasons..." drove me crazy...

We did formal typing classes in school starting from primary school up to middle school but that was not what made me a proficient typist. I got comfortable with a keyboard and more proper typing by actually doing it.

Some of that is on me for being a little shit in school, some of it is because the classes were shit. My point was that typing is a skill and there is more than one way to learn it and that a generation shouldn't be judged from a snapshot at a relatively young age.

That said, a relatively large number of the younger engineers I work with ARE missing critical basic tech/mechanical/problem solving skills so I do recognize that there seems to be a generational difference in some areas. I didn't get to work with a young engineer from a previous generation when they were a young engineer though so I can't say that for sure.

I was born im 1990, grew up on desktop computers, and did the hunt and peck thing until I actively began using my keyboard for research papers, essays, etc. It is a skill that I picked up on with use, not from instruction.

Yeahhhhhh, fresh water for the amoeba and salt water for flesh eating bacteria... got both bases covered.

They are likely IP rated in some form or fashion, that means they are rated for protection for a period of time at a certain depth. Deeper water or longer time in water means you still get water past the seals.

It could also be a control fault or short on the electrical side allowing the other components to catch fire or overloading the batteries causing them to overheat and catch fire.

I make decent money and live in Texas. My wife is currently pregnant and the state's policies on maternal care during pregnancy scares the shit out of me. In the case of a medical emergency money doesn't buy time.

The education policies being pushed by the state government are also terrible and private schools are not really any better in that regard. We could homeschool but I am not interested in that for my child.

The general rhetoric demonizing and taking the basic human rights of immigrants, LGBT, and other marginalized communities is also really hard to hear.

Several mass shootings as schools and public places with no interest in taking any kind of preventative actions is disgusting.

The property taxes have become a significant burden on our housing price with no sign of that changing anytime soon.

The state government is opernly corrupt and hostile to anyone who is not a Republican and quietly hostile to the Republicans who aren't high income, powerful, or political donors. Look at our power grid and the states actions after the freeze.

Money can't buy your way out if any of these. We stay because our families live nearby and we want our kids to grow up around them. If I could convince them to move with us, I would leave in a second despite living here for the last 30 years.
