I generally try to find things that make me laugh if I get to this point. I look up old Whose Line episodes or moments, Improv-a-ganza, and recently Dropout shows like Game Changer and Dirty Laundry.

Pretty sure we knew this was coming. Bunch of articles last year or the year before that stating that SSD prices were going to climb if not skyrocket.

Considering that all of the platforms have the “non-transferable” clause in their EULAs… It seems to be an industry issue, not a Steam one.

Every single port, cable, switch and router between your fiber ONT to your laptop has to support that bandwidth. What model is your laptop? What model is your router?

When you say directly connect to the router, are you physically right next to the router testing the speed? Or are you plugging your laptop into ports installed throughout your home?

Wasn’t there an article last year that said that Chinese EVs have sent so many vehicles to Europe, they couldn’t get them out of the shipyards? Did that get resolved?

For almost 20 years, Google’s phones have been pretty friendly to ROM flashing. I suspect that so long as Apple and Samsung have such a large market share, that will continue.

EDIT: 15, not 20

Paradox has recently gotten hammered on their recent releases, both Golden and Early Access. I wonder if that was part of the reason.

If you feel safe and stable now, then keep doing what you’re doing. There’s no shame in just living the life you enjoy. And I hope you didn’t need to feel like you have to defend your lifestyle and relationships to me.

I just wanted to come from angle where my perspective is both from a potentially different upbringing and life experience and what having a romantic partner means to me.

All anyone should want for another person is for them to be happy.

So I see where you’re coming from. If your group of friends can collectively address all your needs, you would really feel like you don’t need a romantic partner. And maybe you don’t, which is perfectly fine.

I don’t know where you are in your life. Personally, I’m in my 30s, and I’ve had close friends that have come and go. I grew up with making and losing friends constantly like any kid who had a military parent. All of this is to provide a bit perspective for when I say that (at least in my experience) friends don’t stay. There isn’t a reason for them to put you first in their lives. As they get more involved in new or existing relationships of their own, romantic or otherwise, there will be drifting and shifting of priorities. And unless you’re really good at making friends, it gets harder to make friends as you get older.

A romantic partner is supposed to put you first on that list of social priorities and for a very long time. And it’s that feeling of counting on someone to be there for you when you need it that provides a sense of safety and comfort when your overall social network changes.

Paywall on the article. Does it say why?

Just like Y to post a click bait, non-informative post. Here’s an article that has more info.https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/2280460/shockingly-inept-us-missile-defense-system-had-75-failure-rate-in-iran-attack-on-israel.html

The rate is only for SM-3 missiles that targeted ballistics. Israel also had significantly fewer targets and better preparation for their interceptions.

Likely this. If they need to be FIDO2 compliant, then OTP and TOTP will be blocked. Personally, I would demand a company-provided phone for work.

I remember initially getting downvoted on Reddit when the announcement trailer was posted because I mentioned that this was going to be the case and that I was going to wait a couple years.

Paradox has focused hard on releasing games with DLC planned every 6-12 months as has been the case for almost all of their recent titles. And I play a lot of their games. Cities 2 should have released with at least some of the dlc content already released in 1, on top of being optimized for performance. Paradox should be the poster child for patient gamers.

It’s also going to get a pretty big update at the end of the month. So it’s a good time to buy.

GATTACA about to be a documentary

It’s lazy “development” in the interest of saving time and therefore cost of development for Ubisoft.

That’s all there is to it. They probably aren’t even trying to train it in the context of the game world, just take existing models and run a few phrases to show that it “works”.

With a plane. The article is small arms…on the ground…

Where do you live that your house is less than $100k? Many would like to know.

Japan’s economy is only going to get worse. I don’t think they’ve resolved their population decline and aging demographics.

You should learn context clues to know I was directly commenting on the previous poster about China’s bullying of Philippine fishermen.

As for Kinmen island itself, it is Taiwan’s. The main Kinmen island is 7km from the mainland. The article doesn’t say where the fishermen were in relation to the island.
