I used to play chess in that park. There are some famous GMs who sleep there along with a number of other homeless folks. Lots of good chess players who will school you for $5 a game.

Anyway sometimes the guys get a little rowdy. The CVS franchise owner probably had them in mind when it installed this PA system. I don’t think it’s cop equipment.

I recall a tour guide at the armory museum in Boston describing accounts of (presumably well-to-do) armor wearers showing off their suits’ mobility by doing cartwheels. Still difficult to imagine, but yeah fighting in clunky armor sounds like it could easily be more dangerous than none at all.

That makes sense. I suppose that’s what plate was for?

Anecdotal but a kitchen I worked at used it for shucking oysters, i.e. specifically to prevent puncture of skin.

Not among them, just wanted to add that early-model platform HMDs have often functioned as dev kits, one way or another, and it’s reflected in the enterprise-R&D price point.

For example the HL1 and HL2 were similarly priced. Rift and quest sets were exceptions only because they were preceded by the OG DK1 and DK2 headsets prior to buyout.

Basically these pricy early-model headsets typically aren’t aimed at the average consumer.

I thought this was a DnD joke or something

Yeah we’ve all been there. I remember feeling similarly about their GPUs more than a decade ago.

The refined uranium IHS doubles your clicks per minute and facilitates exfoliation.

Wait, that was your takeaway? I understand cumulative frustration is hard to reverse, but it seems pretty solid that they accepted an RMA two years after purchase, reported test results, and replaced it.

As much as I try to resist brand loyalty, I feel like that kind of support experience would probably bring me back next time.

Hey hey, I’m not the same commenter from before. Also I was agreeing not disagreeing. Just wanted to offer useful tips, that’s all.
