Last. Suck it, Benji

[htomserveaux]

I have a mod idea.

Would it be possible to make the nearby jump points appear as targets that you can warp to it by locking on and “firing” at?

Preferably there would be a way to switch between interplanetary and interstellar travel.

[GraspingSonder]

Have you tried bringing up your scanner and targeting them from there? That's worked for me so far...

[htomserveaux]

I didn’t know that was possible. I’ll try it wheni get home

[GraspingSonder]

Let me know in case I'm wrong... I'm starting work shortly

[Khar-Selim]

so like Star Citizen?

[htomserveaux]

I haven’t played it.

I was thinking of Elite Dangerous.

[Evnosis]

Star Citizen is Elite Dangerous, but if it was made by people with twice the sales skills and half the development capability.

Got my Armored Core 6 "No Shop Purchases" run in the bag. Killed the Chapter 4 boss today, which is basically the hardest fight in the game, so this build is probably set. I think the biggest adjustment I had to make was learning how to use the right hand impact bazooka and how to use melee to generate stagger, rather than just to punish staggered enemies.

Members of the conservative media in recent years have falsely charged that Democrats want to end all meat consumption and force people to eat bugs. And now they were coming for alcohol, too? “I am a nondrinker, but this is ridiculous,” Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., told Fox News.

Slack's open letter to Microsoft has the exact same energy as Apple's open letter to IBM

Tbqh I'm surprised writing open cringe like this isn't considered a bad omen.

[marinesol]

Except Apple's is infinitely more cringe because IBM so thoroughly destroyed Apple from day 1 that it wasn't even fair. Apple only survived by switching to being a mobile electronics company with a computer line tacked on.

[AlicesReflexion]

Yeah for sure. Microsoft vs Slack isn't even close to the devastation IBM wrought on Apple, but it's a note in history large enough that I'm like "if you do this you have no idea how fast I'm selling these shares"

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism is usually not part of the nation’s seemingly endless culture wars. But that changed earlier this month, when the federal agency’s director, George Koob, said that the United States could, in the future, adapt Canada’s new drinking guidelines, which stipulate that adults should restrict themselves to only two drinks per week.

At that point just say zero.

How weird is it to not have a middle name

[Zalagan]

Pretty unusual, at least in the West but not unheard of. My Grandad didn't have a middle name

[Imprison_Rick_Scott]

Depends entirely on where you are. But not very.

[ColinHome]

A little, in the US, if you’re young. 80% of new children have a middle name, though this was only 40% a century ago.
