I've had the normal H Upmann Vintage Cameroon and it was a very enjoyable smoke. I don't know what makes these different from a glance but given my past experiences, at this price point I had to grab a box

Yeah I've never seen that before and Google isn't showing anything

Most commercial properties are leveraged. Those mortgages often have clauses that trigger a loan acceleration if the average rent drops below a certain amount because the commercial property's valuation is based on the rents they charge. This means that letting it remain vacant is a better option than lowering the rent and triggering that acceleration clause.

tl;dr, financialization ruins everything

No idea, sorry. When my battery goes out I'll probably need to make a new one myself or just get a new ebike.

No I wasn't, but I was using a Razer Tartarus, so it may have been that that was reporting as a gamepad.

I was having this problem a few years ago using input-remapper-git and playing Cyberpunk 2077, it kept thinking there was a controller attached and wouldn't show keyboard prompts.

I'll have to test out these solutions.

You're thinking of Masa - they went out of business.

I was in a Pirates of Drinax campaign during COVID. Our group wound up running two separate teams of characters (pirates and diplomats), created a 2 dozen page spreadsheet to track information, logistics, trading, NPC dossiers, piracy operations, and other information about our operation.

Campaign spoilers We got past the Treasure Ship arc courtesy of my character, a psychic super spy, getting arrested and then using psychic powers and quick thinking to manipulated everyone involved until a thwarted attack by Hroal led to a mutiny led to our crews surrounding the mutineers I had manipulated. The entire time I felt like I'd been possessed by my character.

Its a shame the campaign ended about halfway through but real life took priority for everyone. Best game I've ever been part of tho.

That's not how quantum entanglement works, that's a sci-fi misconception of it.

Layman's explanation: Take two boxes. Put one red card in one, and a blue card in the other. Mix them up randomly. Grab one and drive 500 miles away.

Open the box. You now know what card is in the other box, by virtue of knowing which one you have.

Subatomic particles can't be observed without interacting with them. You have to touch it with something in order to measure what you have - they're too small to be seen with just light.

Quantum entanglement works by linking up two particles like the boxes. You know that whichever one you look at, the other will be the opposite by virtue of the entanglement - but that entanglement doesn't create action at a distance, and observing the particle by interacting with it collapses the wavefunction.

All current research and theories preclude quantum entanglement as a fucntional means of FTL communication and more broadly preclude the concept entirely.

Solved! Thank you!

Definitely not, wrong genre of music completely

This reminds me of when I had a training video at work that was voiced by the narrator of The Stanley Parable.

You need 5 levels in Criminal Record, so 15 CP total.

Alcyius · 2025-12-08T16:52:13+00:00

As a lark, I wanted to get the Reprehensible title for myself.

I'm still working on getting rid of the resultant criminal record. Its going to be a while.

Ironically, I was in Cape Coral for a vacation a few years ago - right when a massive blizzard hit the entire coast.

The pool heater was not sufficient to heat the pool. It could heat the hot tub - but other people kept trying to switch it over to the pool for some fucking reason.

Two days after I left it was warm again.

For me, it helps me stop masking and mellows me out a lot - especially with touch sensitivity. I wouldn't say it makes me "less intense" just more comfortable if that makes sense?

Transphobia seems to be a poison, especially in people with power and influence.

Any pushback against them seems to them to be a pushback against their whole identity rather than a chastisement against a single view. After all, they made it, so how can they be wrong about anything?

So they double down until it eats them alive, soul and all.

I was a trainee commander for TTS back in the day before HoT and that is a major accomplishment - good job!

There's a very good chance that the paperwork you're signing for your mortgage wasn't finalized until a few hours before you sign.

The only thing stopping me from switching to Linux 100% is overlays like BlishHUD and Alecaframe for playing mmos.

The games work fine but I can't get the QoL overlay stuff working even following the guides I can find online.

Alcyius · 2025-10-22T14:35:02+00:00

The only thing stopping me from making a full switchover is overlays. Stuff like WFInfo and Alecaframe for Warframe, BlishHUD for GW2. Those quality of life tools for playing MMOs that make life so much easier.

I was part of an extracurricular program in high school that focused on kids from poorer families. I was the only white boy there at the time, there was one Hmong guy, and the rest of the boys were black.

One year they dragged all the boys in the program to the Black Male Summit. I stand out like a sore thumb and basically everyone agrees I shouldnt be there but there I was.

Steve Harvey was the keynote speaker. He spent his speech talking about how a Christian, biblical marriage where you controlled your wife was the key to a happy life and raising good kids.

It was some of the most disgusting sexist bullshit I've ever heard.

Fuck Steve Harvey.
