PvE Tarkov doesn't allow you to modify server side things, like insurance return times and whatnot.

Yup, I've played it plenty! I even tried setting up a server with Project Fika but for some reason I couldn't get it going.

I don't mind competitive games, just not the crazy competitive ones. TF2 is a great example - fun, casual, PvP. Tarkov is probably my least favorite - hyper competitive, huge losses if you die, big incentive to cheat.

It's a shame that Tarkov is what it is, because I love shooters and it's probably the best of them, mechanics wise.

I just don't like hyper competitive games. I don't have time to get frustrated.

I like single player games where I have the option to change things I don't like via mods or console commands.

Truffle oil and lightly salt it

I scat

abandon the bear and an old bike, which happened to be in Kennedy’s van, in the park, taking advantage of the fact that there has been a rash of bicycle accidents recently in New York.

Ok honestly that just sounds like a hilarious prank.

Eh... I will probably go with a used 9th or 10th gen i7 or something. Intel still gets no money and I get a good CPU.

I mean, I can stream 4K HDR if the player supports the video format, but clients don't always jive well with whatever Radarr decided. I know I can fine tune it but everything works well enough right now and I don't have time to change it.

I move around too much to do colocation. A VPS/VM isn't worth the cost to me. My server is all old parts and I don't pay for power usage.

I need on-location transcoding because my internet is garbage (~50 mbps). Sometimes my users need to transcode the show if the bit rate of the file is too high for my internet to keep up.

Does AMD have anything to compete with Intel QSV? I'm looking to upgrade my Plex server and was looking at a newer Intel CPU.

If you are truly struggling and need actual dental care, try searching for a local dental school near you. Many will take patients for cheap or free, with the caveat that a dental student will be performing the treatment.

Otherwise, brush at least twice a day and floss. Do not re-use strands of floss, like with those convenient plastic picks. You'll just be transferring bacteria to each crevice after it's been used.

Get a water pick (whatever it's called) - I heard those are great but I don't have one myself.

Much of the destructive force comes from speed

You should've stopped there.

Let me rewrite that:

The destructive force of a 5.56 round is exponentially increased by the tissue it hits. If it hits purely soft tissue - such as a pass through the deltoid or quadriceps - it may not cause much damage at all.

The real destruction comes from hitting hard tissue (like bone), which causes it to tumble and cavitate or cause it to ricochet and hit more soft tissue, on top of probably breaking whatever bone it hit.

https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/An-Unusual-Feature-of-Graze-Gunshot-Wounds-Heninger/8ca4248a19d68ad59e8895945331d21121374d21

Bullets can lacerate tissue without causing crazy destruction. A wound less severe than this on the tip of the ear could be healed within 2 weeks or however long it's been.

I think you overestimate the size and power of a 5.56 round. Much of the destructive force comes from speed and the area it hits - such as the chest or hips. Bones can cause it to ricochet and spin, causing cavitation and greater destruction.

They can leave a tiny entrance wound. With how thin the ear is, it's unlikely to have left an exit wound any larger than the entrance. It may have even hit the tip of the ear.

Either way, I think there would still be a visible wound unless it just nicked the tip of the ear. The bleeding may be due to blood thinners or something, considering his cardiovascular health.

I'm in a class (for work) and I do most of the coffee stuff.

We have two 12 cup pots that I prep before I leave. One auto brews and is ready when I get in and the other is ready to start whenever the first one starts getting low.

Other people bring in bags of coffee. I usually bring the creamer.

So what is your suggested platform?

What is the "right" action here then, in your mind? Would you rather a stranger grab the kids hand or pick them up?

Touching someone else's kid without explicit consent from the parent is likely to get you in some trouble unless you can explain to them that you just saved their kid

What's with all the hate on Signal on here? I see probably one post a week trying to bash it because of some unproven conspiracy about it.

It's a non-profit whose goal is to provide encrypted private chat.

Signal's subpar user experience is a feature from this perspective.

Signal is literally just a chat service. The user experience is on par with any other service, except it's backed by a trust in the company to not sell out on the end user because it's a non-profit and isn't beholden to any shareholders.
