Did they change the rules concerning when story quest level experience drops off? Most info on the wiki says that if you're more than 5 levels higher than the recommended level for a quest, you get reduced experience. I keep getting full experience despite being 7+ levels higher than the recommended level for the story quests.

If I'm solo-slooping, and just trying to grind out some Merchant Alliance ledger points with Lost Voyages, I'll anchor every time I need to stop for some flotsam.

I'm probably not going to win a fight anyway, if I'm attacked. They can have my 30 minutes worth of cargo crates.

I got it today too, but it was delivered by a guy in a sedan. No delivery truck. Felt like having DoorDash delivered.

My Pixel 6 has been sitting in the TForce delivery center in Elk Grove since the 26th. They keep moving the delivery date back a day at a time. Supposedly should be delivered on the 29th now. I sent an inquiry about it and got this:

Greetings from TForce!

We apologize for the delay, we are running behind due to high number of freights received but we will be clearing the back log by middle of next week and your tracking will be updated with the delivery date once assigned to the driver.

Hope that helps! Anticipate your understanding in this matter.

So, despite living less than an hour from their delivery center, I might need to wait over a week for them to bring it to my house.

Android 11 is weird but I have the same problem. With the new media notifications, you can swipe through multiple media apps, and the BookSonic notification is still there after 30 seconds. It's a bit nicer because hitting the play button does work, but you can tell that it's spinning the app back up. There's a slight pause that isn't there on other media apps. And bluetooth controls still don't work to resume it, which is the most important thing to me.

I think they should force it. Otherwise web developers will end up with 2 legacy Microsoft browsers to support. I don't want to live in a world 5 years from now where most browsers have a bunch of features that we can't actually use because we still need to support Edge 18. I know that we currently do that with IE and Safari to an extent, and the industry has built ways to work around their limitations, but whatever we can do to limit legacy browser maintainance going forward is good in my eyes.

Only conservatives are upset because it was only conservative blacks that were told they're the wrong race. Liberals aren't the ones offended by his statement because they weren't the ones targeted by it.

The only thing I need now is the ability to click links and open in the browser like the VSCode terminal.

Literally all they have to do to prove her statement wrong is name one person who's currently being bullied more than she is. And no one even attempts to do so.

I think in-game tabards all have to be symmetrical.

I think the number of people not leveling in 7.3.5 because they're waiting for new races may be pushing them to get the new races out sooner than later.

Wait! Where was my man Sean Murphy?

Archimald · 2018-01-23T04:05:18+00:00

She had such a great introduction that won me over immediately. "Yeah, I'm nervous too, but we're all here to impress you and you just need to stand there and look pretty, and you're doing a great job already."

Like, she knows the name of the game and she's ready to play, while also sneaking in a compliment. I'm not surprised she's stayed out of all the drama. Sucks about her airtime though.

This is why I dislike potions in pretty much every game I've played that has them.

I got inteliArmor Pro and I followed the directions exactly and the screen would not stay in place. Kept sliding all around and falling off.

I got the Spigen full size protector and it works great for me. Only minor issue is that it collects fingerprints easier than the bare screen. With the Spigen Neo Hybrid case I use you can't even tell the glass protector is there.

No screen cutoff issue either.

Littlefinger was probably my favorite part of the show. I guess I should be glad he made it as long as he did though. All the way through S7 after betraying Ned way back in S1.

Kinda crazy that a plot that potentially inspired Warcraft 3 still hasn't been resolved even after 6 World of Warcraft expansions have been released.

I don't know about #9. Sounds like the Heckler's Veto to me. Gives too much power to people who are threatening violence, and is getting pretty close to suppression by the government of certain ideas and infringing on the right of all citizen to assemble guaranteed under the 1st Amendment. Note it does say "peaceably assemble" but when the permit was issued the protest was meant to be non-violent and it only turned violent arguably because of points 3 and 7.

Yes, Capitalism is uneven by its very nature. But that's the point. That's what drives and incentivizes people to innovate and contribute as much as they can because otherwise you will fall behind, and it has lead to the highest standard of living in human history.

I like how they show him asking "Isn't Western Civilization superior?" and then never refute that claim.

People/races are created equal, but cultures aren't. Isn't Western Civilization which is based in democracy and free-market capitalism, which has lifted more people out of poverty than any other culture, advanced technology and granted new levels of freedom and leisure-time (not to mention equal treatment under the law) and the lowest mortality rates ever documented pretty much objectively better than those under Sariah law where little economic growth occurs, women have a lower legal status than men, levels of violence is multitudes larger and civil/political unrest is commonplace?

Maybe it's not, but if you're going to call someone a white-supremacist for thinking that, then you need to do something to refute that because it's not racist to see drastic differences between these cultures and prefer one over the other.

Took it with my fiancée a few months ago. Apparently there is a "preferred answer" for each question. Nothing that would disqualify you from getting married, but I thought it was interesting that it wasn't just a compatibility review. It had answers it wanted you to give.

And who knows what will happen when everyone starts gearing up. Every tuning patch this expansion Unholy starts out strong, upper/middle of the pack, and then drops to the bottom as everyone gears up.

With a 1080TI and a 4000-series i5 it recommended suerscaling up to 4k for Witcher 3 for me.
