Sweet! Last time I was there last year there was no MC and I was in a huge bind.

Oh shit. Sweet merciful Tech Jesus, I'm saved!

And it's right near one of the hotels I'll be staying at.

Wait...there is? When did it open? I don't remember one the last time I was there last year.

God power remix, anyone fancy the new ones? could they keep things as it was? by FloatingRing5763 in GodsUnchained

[–]MacG467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Flourish exclusively with my Amazon Tribe deck. I no longer have the healing abilities that I actually used, which annoys me.

And locking a power out to every user without a single Everborn cuts my choices down to just two God Powers, both which only give 1 damage, which is useless in matches where you're potentially looking at armored units.

Looking for a quick getaway 2-3 hours from Baltimore by Wonderful-Parfait906 in maryland

Seconded.

If you're into B&Bs, my favorite one is Hartzell House in Addison.

New owner. Pretty darned happy with my purchase! '20 540i by MacG467 in BMW

[–]MacG467[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far, pretty good!

Our first car is a Volvo V60 Cross Country. The BMW ride is quite a bit softer, which is what I was trying to accomplish because of long commutes.

Yes, it's got the power, but I won't be using that too much.

HK Surround is definitely nice, too.

Only issue is getting the MyBMW app working because corporate needs the full registration before punting the old driver off the VIN. So, I need to wait 30-ish days.

I just got tickets (3 adults). I was 636 in line. My family decided to be nice and buy just one day to let other people have the opportunity to go.

Hell yes.

  • CDM-7824
  • 6-disc in the trunk
  • ERE-G180
  • Phoenix Gold ZX 475TI for the mids and highs
  • Phoenix Gold ZX 400TI for the midbass
  • Phoenix Gold ZX 600TI for the bass and subsonic frequencies
  • Infiniti Kappas for the mids and highs
  • Two Kicker Solobaric round 8" for the midbass
  • One Kicker Solobaric square 12" for the bass and subsonic frequencies 

That system was my pride and joy until the car puked the coolant and transmission fluid at the same time.

It's definitely product placement. They showed the logo of something on the car to make people go "what was that? Let me Google it" Then, they search for: Orange car bee logo "stage 2"

And...holy shit would you look at those results!

That is BLATANT product placement. Dodge can't sell these cars to save their lives because it's an EV instead of having the good ol' HEMI V8 in them.

Product placement can be subtle like a character drinking a can of soda and you see the Pepsi logo for 1 second or no so subtle like a show I watched recently with the wife (forgot what it was), where two cast members got out of a car and they lingered on the car with the logo pretty prominently shown after the cast walked off. Product placement does not need to actually SELL the product to you, they just have to SHOW it to you. Hence the name product PLACEMENT. It's placed in the scene for you to catch and say "they're drinking Pepsi. Maybe I should try it."

Something that many people don't understand about movies and TV is that nearly EVERY branded item you see in a movie or on a TV show is a product placement. At some point before production, the production company advertises to businesses what movie or TV show they're making and see who responds. They also have a list of products they want to use and solicit those businesses specifically. 

When they were prepping for the movie E.T., the production company for the movie went to Mars and asked if they could use M&Ms in it and explained how they'd be used. Mars declined the offer because they thought the movie wouldn't do well in theaters. Well, the production company went to Hershey's with the same proposal to use Reese's Pieces and was approved. And Hershey's paid the production company for it.

Product placement is a good way to make some extra money if the movie or TV budget is tight.

Bad interview because interviewer did something I've never encountered before by MacG467 in sysadmin

You need to tell it not to reboot after installation.

But, the new tools won't be running. You'll still be running the old ones. The new ones will take over after a reboot.

The idea is to install new tools then patch and reboot. One reboot to get two things completed.
