As others have pointed out it is not. The other part that makes this even worse is the paint used heats the water even more than before which expedites the algea growth. The water level is low which doesnt help either, but thats always been a known problem. It's just funny that if you were going to fix the pool you would think the money invested would have also been used to fix the original problems, but nope not even an attempt and here we are, tens of millions spent on absolutely nothing.

Maybe have a new rule for shorter games, like if its reasonable to complete the game normally in under 5 hours then the 2 hour window should be 1 hour or even 30 minutes. Idk how games are submitted but it should be an option at that time on how long the game is or a question about if its over or under x hours long so they know how to treat the game for this policy.

My guess is its a year more people decided to finally upgrade? I know my phone is now 4 years old and I wanted to get one, but due to financial reasons I am trying to stick it out another year. I just hope I make it since earlier this year or late last year my sceeen went dead and I thought I was screwed... I decided to drop it and shockingly it worked! Fingerprint sensor went dead as well at the same time but once i rebooted it came back as well so it must be a loose cable connection. Its been fine ever since, but I do feel like im on borrowed time.

Im sorry if this sounds cold, because I agree with you, but I feel like it would take ALOT to ever get something like this off the ground let alone profitable enough to make sure it survives. It would take a massive injection of money by the biggest companies to create something that people would even look twice at sadly.

The closest thing to what you are proposing would be the failed OUYA console back in like 2013. It didnt invest in physical media, but it did want a store where indie developers can market exclusive games with the same hopes you had where it would get big enough to gain the attention of bigger companies. I invested in the kickstarter and had one, it was cool but needed a lot of work and fizzled out when it became clear that they were not going to make money off that model as there were not enough quality games being made to keep it afloat. On top of this the handful of really good games just ended up being ported to Steam, Switch, and even PS or Xbox which meant why bother at all buying it on OUYA. I think the biggest successful game that they had first was Towerfall.

It was definitely a talking point for a bit. It was looked into and proven incorrect. It was most likely always a lie to further discourage people on the fence from giving up gas cars. I'm sure it had an impact on some people out there so it probably worked.

Thanks, ive only had it a handful of times. Normally whenever we all get together for something cool which is never anymore. He also splits mine in half because im not used to it. Felt fine to me, but i know what feeling your talking about so I am glad thats not the case for me.

I felt the same way about this and GTA 5 when i tried replaying it earlier this year just to see what I remembered. Last time I played it was on its original release date on the ps3. Don't get me wrong, they both look great, but yeah the character models are definitely dated and on the simpler side compared to today.

These fines feel bigger than the ones we fine oil or other huge corporations for actually doing awful things...

6, but if i was a kid i probably would pick something 17-24. On another topic idk if anyones had #6 lately but shrinkflation hit this HARD over the past 10 years...

Doubt it. A smaller plane will be around 15,000ft which would mean the fall would be about 1 and a half minutes to impact. I also doubt they were at that altitude so it would be less than that. Unless it was fast and massive I dont think you can die that quick from a heart attack. Passing out would be the best case scenerio, but even that is probably low chance as well.

Just looked it up. Awful like usual... I also wonder what she heard, because it sounds like nothing was said about the other crime taking place at the same location. Guess that crime went unpunished or she was wrong about what she heard which makes this feel even worse.

 

Everyone knows one of the best things NJ has to offer is homemade bagels. I was curious what everyone's best bagel spot is. A few years ago, I saw this asked on the other site, and I saw some great suggestions.

I bring it up because today I actually got to try the one that was mentioned the most, and im happy to say it did not disappoint. The name is Bagel Train, and technically, it's in NY but only about 30 seconds over the border. This one may have taken 1st place for me. Before this, my favorite was Hot Bagels in Fairlawn. Has anyone else got some suggestions for the best of the best?

Our 11 year old dog Domino just passed early this morning. She was the world to our family. Sweetest dog I have ever known, and as this was my first pet, I have to say this is an extremely hard day. Here is a pic of her several months ago giving us love. I only hope we gave her a great life.

The Turner Doomsday Video is the internal title of an apocalypticism video intended to be broadcast by CNN at the end of the world. The video, created at the direction of CNN founder Ted Turner before the network's 1980 launch, is a performance of the Christian hymn "Nearer, My God, To Thee" performed by multiple members of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine bands.

It was never seen by the public until it was leaked in 2015 by a former intern.

My favorite comfort food pot roast. Let it cook all day yesterday on low heat. Reminds me of my childhood, of course it's never as good.

RIP Ratebeer (beerconnoisseur.com)
 

I'm sure many here haven't dealt with Ratebeer, but it was the OG site to use along with beer advocate back in the late 2000's. A few of my friends were hooked, and it got me onboard. We joined local communities, met up with others for local beer events, and setup tastings with everyone. Made a lot of good friends and tried the best beers in the world because of the site and although I drifted from the hobby well over a decade now it still was a big influence for me and even the modern equivalents that exist today. Just wanted to put this here since it was definitely a part of beer history that should be remembered.
