My big Agnes three person ultralight tent. It's big enough for me, wife, and two dogs to sleep in comfortably. Two doors for ease of access and does well in windy and wet weather. Light enough to carry by myself and the poles are easy to repair. Had a tear in the rainfly a couple years back and they fixed it for a fair price. Excellent tent

I'm glad you asked! Devil's tower is "one of a kind" because the formation of such features are rare. It consists of phonolite porphyry which is an intrusive igneous rock (meaning it formed from cooling magma inside the Earth). Most of the time when you see columnar jointing it is associated with basaltic igneous rocks which are much darker because they contain higher levels of Fe and Mg (mafic) compared to the more silica rich intermediate igneous rocks like the one in question. There are similar geological features, though, including some in Iceland and Scotland (see giants causeway) and as for the hexagonal shape it turns out nature just likes to naturally form them because its easy.
I guess to summarize, there are not many similar formations to compare Devil's tower to, but those that do exist were formed from different magma (more mafic) and did not erode as gracefully as this formation.

Fun fact: this is the remains of an ancient volcano. The tower that you see here is what is left of a magma chamber or an intrusion of magma into the surrounding sedimentary rocks that solidified, creating hard igneous rock pillars (columnar joints). The rest of the volcano then weathered and eroded over a very long period of time leaving only the hardest rocks.

Monbiat's frustration and anger really comes through with this opinion piece. I agree with him pretty much entirely. Our planet us reaching or already beyond its limits for several global systems and yet we are doing effectively nothing about it. The inaction, as he highlights, is primarily because the plutocrats think it will be bad for business. We need to be raising hell about this... we're running toward a massive collapse of modern human civilization.

I'm writing a thesis that has significant support that the United States is and has, with the exception of about 30 years of progressive policy, been a plutocracy. The divisions in put country are by design. Division among racial lines, political affiliation, religious affiliation, professions, etc. are used to prevent the unification of the laboring class and dissuade us from collectively recognizing and challenging the status quo. The working people of this country have far more in common than not, but the political and moneyed class sow division via these wedge issues to prevent radical change - which would likely shift the US toward Scandinavian style social democracy.

I want to just write lol, but that doesn't capture my actual laughter. I am glad to be here and hope these communities continue to grow and become a stable place that is unimpeded by corporate interests, data harvesting, and invasive monetization. But seriously, here's a rat.

Goblins have been overall a disappointing show in D4. They drop mostly useless shit - may as well just drop 200,000 gold and call it, because that's basically all they are.

Sounds frustrating. Thanks for doing what you do and letting us join your server! Hope the captcha works out.

Bruh, tap here to edit text... a master stroke of shitposting.

I have been playing since the original release of Diablo around 1997 and, like you, enjoyed D2 thoroughly. D3 was a rough start, but the introduction of seasons and rifts was pretty great. I liked the feeling of overwhelming power that D3 offered. D4 is a lot slower, a kind of calling back to the original and D2. I am enjoying the game overall, but there are some things that I would change given the opportunity. I find gearing to be less intuitive - hard stats may have been a better way to do it rather than percentages, but I'm no game developer. Although even at level 67 I am missing the feeling of power, in time I am sure it will come. At least one can cope. The sorcerer in D4 doesn't feel as good as it had in the past. To be fair I am running with 4 defensive spells which doesn't leave room for much else. I am struggling in WT4, but the drops in WT3 have been less than helpful in making my character stronger. The stats I need simply aren't dropping.

Overall though? D4 is excellent. Balancing and changes will occur that brings the game together and I have no doubt I will be playing this game for another decade.

That is a neat looking horse. I have gotten 3 different sets of tack. A merchant tack, lamplighter, and something else, but I cannot recall it off the top of my head. The lamp lighter is pretty cool though.

Spot on. The "elites" and their puppets will not face consequences because they designed the system to benefit themselves. He will continue to be a corrupt parasite and make rulings that will take rights away from people not of the moneyed class.
