It's when now? Oh shoot, we miscalculated the gravitational well displacement. We'll just come back earlier when he's expecting us.

Bazzite was my first go at Linux. For that it was great. It proved I didn't have to give up my games if I switched.

Why learn the language of a second world country when you can learn the language of a first world country?

Kidding/not kidding

5th stage of grief... Acceptance.

We know we're fucked and the government believes it's role is to wield power, not help people.

We learn who we are and what we want by trying different things. If you aren't sure about something, try it. And it's ok to discuss it in advance to set guidelines or expectations if you need to.

The one thing that's non negotiable is respect. If you invest time in someone you don't really respect, eventually that time ends up wasted.

If you have trouble trusting, start small. Lay your head on her lap while you watch a movie or something.

None of what you say is wrong, but I will say that though my regular number is on permanent silence and straight to voicemail because of all the spam calls and texts, the Google voice number I have had for years has been largely free of all that BS and continues to work great.

Maybe they are tracking everything I do, but the product DOES work pretty great.

Just puncture a hydraulic line, right?

because all of my coworkers and I keep failing these really hard tests, we aren't allow to study during downtime on the clock.

Well there's your answer. It sounds like they are tired of making losing investments.

One blade is like a hedge trimmer, great for taking off long growth, but not great for precision work.

I think you are getting too caught up in their stating "1995". Video game graphics had already improved a lot by then. By talking about "pixelated" they probably really mean mid to late 80s technology. Heck, even in 1995 they were still using digital video disks the size of records.

When you compare that to the amount of memory in video game consoles, they had to keep things simple and couldn't afford to go fill professional digital audio.

I think people may be missing a big factor in their replies. The graphics and audio on video games is digital, but music and video used in the rest of the world had been maturing for quite some time as analog.

Think about a record, you are capturing the vibrations of the noise directly into physical media. Digital requires translating that somehow into a pattern of 1s and 0s, and at the beginning, we just weren't that good at it and memory chips were just painfully small at that time.

 

With this year's guardian games coming to a close along with the hoverboard preview, I'll admit that it was nice to let warlocks keep theirs, but I wonder when they will be releasing them to the other classes?
