I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that

Dishonored series was pretty good at offering and rewarding a peaceful playthtrough. It was definitely the more difficult option but usually worth it.

It's only a thing if you are on some form of lease plan where you don't own it outright. Pretty much every carrier in the US sells phones on a monthly payment for the device, which usually is just the cost of the device spread over 30 months, etc. While the device is still not paid off its carrier locked. After its paid off you need to jump through a few hoops but it's honestly not too hard. I'm not sure what the FCC is hoping to accomplish here, it's a similar arrangement to leasing/financing a vehicle, where the dealership holds the title till it's bought/paid off.

Fairbanks, AK made the list not for smog or other hydrocarbon pollution but for wood smoke in the winter. The cold air settles over the town and traps the smoke particles in a haze.

It is in half the world, but Israel is in the northern hemisphere so the wrong half for that line of thinking

I saw two guys riding those monowheel things in 5 pm traffic on a 50mph road today, didn't know they could go that fast, it was crazy

While I can't say I've paid more for less as a whole, I've definitely had a higher fun to dollar with SC than many other more finished, flashier games. It's what you make of it and the people you meet along the way, just like any other MMO. It definitely has its warts and issues, but I think a lot of people also hate it because they were told it was bad and evil and I don't think that's really true. It has the trappings of any large game service products which people call greedy but it does cost a lot to run. I think a lot of the criticism boils down to that's a lot of money and not a lot of fast progress, and that's fair but this game is also unique in being public from a far too early point of development and many other games with smaller scopes are just as slow when developing a new engine/IP (relative to the scope) but the public doesn't see much until we get to just about this point in development.

Either trueNAS or unraid work as a vm in Proxmox, but there's some caveats. You have to pass the whole hba/lsi pcie device to the vm so you can't split the backplane of the server.

I'd try searching with the term pitch, as that is the typical term for an even spacing of an array of things.

The spec still uses letters, WiFi 7 is 802.11BE under the old common name convention this gen would be WiFi BE which is a bit confusing. As of WiFi AX(6) they switched to numbers for the common name. As for who it's good for, it's great for everyone, not just gamers. The spec has a lot of major improvements in bandwidth, collision avoidance and transmission density. All of which makes it better to move lots of data to multiple clients at the same time. Meaning if you wanted to stream Netflix to 3-4 devices in 4k the limiting factor is not the WiFi anymore, it's the internet connection and the client hardware. If you work from home and have to video call in, but others in your house want to stream high bandwidth content, no problem.

Those don't seal well, so probably not

Bits of the soundtrack still bounce around in my head, so many hours in this game
