I enjoyed The Acolyte, although it wasn’t as good as Andor. But really, nothing from the Mouse will be that good for a while.
No I don’t pay for a D+ membership. Yes I still have 9TB free on my NAS
Dunno about first, but the top of the list is Zero Hour, as part of an Airplane! marathon
“I feel called out, but can’t we just let people like what they like?”
Get off my lawn
Can i just thank you so very much for that amazing etymology summary you just made? I can’t even grammar right now, love it!
I had no idea Laura Bailey’s dad is named Geoff
(This is a Critical Role joke and has nothing to do with the point of the OP)
Oh dang you’re right, I definitely remember a DF version but yes
Amazing news and you love to hear it! I’m so happy Tarn and Zach get to benefit from their passion project. TBH i haven’t played since they introduced magic. I got distracted by other things. But I 100% bought it through steam as soon as it was released, just out of appreciation
So if you’ve played Rimworld it’ll feel familiar. Much more complex but part of that complexity is because you can traverse the Z axis, and make multi-level fortresses. I don’t think Tarn has ever recoded to allow multi thread processing, so everything runs on a single CPU core (my info may be out of date). If that’s still the case At any rate, the end of every fortress (that doesn’t succumb to a mood spiral or a were-beast or an elf invasion or the circus or forgetting to pack an anvil or vampires or a cavern collapse) is fps death. Usually from cats. But remember, losing is fun!
The original comic was about the learning curve of various games. The black line represents Dwarf Fortress
The original comic was very accurate
Oh cool, i see your using Gboard and not editing it’s nonsense a week. It really frustrating going back and editing all of the mistakes it makes, so i just have up. Life is much simpler for me now, although others can’t really understand me all of the time. But that’s their problem
Put me in the screenshot
Yeah those cases are sad. I tend to just say my prices really high, and if they persist in wanting me to come out I suddenly don’t have availability because of the “big government project” I’ve been hired to do. Even if they were worth the trouble of all the follow-up “someone broke in, you have to fix my locks” calls that inevitably come, I couldn’t in good conscience take their money.
Last time it happened a lady wanted me to install Schlage Primus deadbolts on her house because her neighbor was “breaking in and moving things to mess with me”. I gave her a quote that was 5x higher than it should have been. I kid you not, she said, “Okay, but I’ll have to wait a couple of weeks to get the money. My husband said I couldn’t change the locks anymore and that this is all in my head.” Poor lady. I saved her number so I wouldn’t forget if she called again, but I never heard from her. Hopefully she got the help she needed, but probably she got divorced and is living on the streets.
These aren’t secrets, but may not be well known (unless you watch LPL):
Sentry Safes aren’t safes, they are fire boxes with a fancy lock.
High security locks are not high security because of the lock design, but because the keys are very difficult to have duplicated.
No one (except maybe intelligence agencies) breaks in to a house by picking a lock, especially in the US. Windows, weak door frames, and, in a pinch, making a hole in the wall are all faster ways of getting in.
Car keys are so expensive because many manufacturers charge a subscription or per-use fee to access and program the keys to the ignition. These costs are passed on to consumers
No one is picking your locks just to move things around or steal small, insignificant items. You are either suffering from a mental disorder or a trusted member of the household is gaslighting you (it’s not gaslighting though, you’re your grasp of reality is slipping. Don’t call me for a pick proof lock, just get help please)
Some manufacturers (you know, in China) will put any sticker you want on the products they produce, including UL and ANSI stickers. Before buying a product that is supposedly fire-rated, such as a fire safe, check the UL website to verify the item is actually listed with them.
“Grade 1” door hardware sold in stores like Lowe’s or Home Depot is, at best, Grade 2, and is likely Grade 3 (residential grade). These grades are really just about how durable the product is over time, and how much abuse they will endure by the public.
And just a little practical advice. Find a qualified, honest locksmith before you need one. We’re like plumbers. If you wait until you have an emergency to find one, the quality will be questionable. There are a lot of scammers out there. If you don’t have a resource for locksmiths beyond Google, look on the ALOA website for members in your area. The good ones will know who the other good ones are, and won’t be shy about sharing that info if they are unavailable or too far away
Yeah i could see it by copying the comment. If the OP did use the delete button and the content isn’t truly deleted… that seems problematic.
Wait how does that work? Is that a glitch in Sync or something else?
Nah, just cash. That’s why the bills are so cartoony now
I’m not sure what that means but okay
Ollie went to the neighborhood dance
And he won the big door prize
It was a toilet brush, and he took it home,
And next week some of the guys
They said, "Ollie how’s that toilet brush?
“The one you won from the neighbors?”
Ollie said, "It works pretty good,
“But I prefer toilet paper”
