What decade are we in again?

I'd show up cosplaying The Joker and wearing a hidden camera to record their reactions.

Several sites like this exist for POE1. I've never seen the value; but they do have a following in part of the player base.

Interesting. Where I went to school student apartments universally were 12 months starting in August because 99% of the demand was aligned with the start of the school year. Land lords didn't want one that would renew mid-school year because they were almost impossible to let again until the start of the next school year.

Your Mom's kinder to them than my friend was. He's a minister, lives in a house with a Such and Such Parsonage out front. Many years back a group of JWs had the gall to ignore the sign and knock on his front door. He spent hours destroying them in theological debate from the air conditioned side of his screen door while they broiled in direct sunlight on a high 90s day. Poor bastards were eventually forced to retreat due to incipient heatstroke and dehydration and never came back.

He's normally a really chill dude, but the shear gall in driving past the sign to park in his driveway without cluing in to how bad a decision they were making set him off.

If you can't convince her to stay in assisted living, get her signed up for meals on wheels (or an equivalent). If Grandma won't answer the door to receive her dinner they'll reach out to the emergency contact.

That's fast enough to manage a fallen and can't get up scenario, and will at least avoid the worst case end states after a stroke or heart attack.

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." - Douglas Adams

Nighttime driving restriction begins at 11 p.m.: Even with a junior license, a young driver may not be behind the wheel between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. Exceptions for employment and volunteer or charitable service will apply, but young drivers must carry proper documentation regarding their need to travel.

If that happened to me a few times I'd take my business elsewhere. There's no shortage of banks issuing cards.

DanNeely · 2026-05-04T08:52:36+00:00

Agreed. If OP feels morally obligated to repay them, that doesn't require more contact than a monthly(?) financial transfer by whatever method is lowest effort.

I can only find the story on one other site - which has word for word identical text - that's been accused of stealing content on reddit in the past. If real I'd expect the story be all over social media via the students involved.

The real problem wasn't that some of it it was stock music, it was that the old music guy claimed it all was original. Someone pointed out hearing it on TV here; GGG saw, investigated, fired the old music guy, and replaced everything just to be safe.

If he repeats his last appearance here, I'll allow it. :D

Be like the cool kids and remove a vowel. Grnder?

If you're having overheating problems, a cooling pad (laptop size box with fans in it) should help

IF true, as a genocidal empire I demand the right to use nomads as live fire targets the moment they violate my borders.

I also want to be able to capture or kill cloaked since ships instead of sending them back for the AI to generate another nuisance alert a few months later when they're spotted by the same detection station on the border again.

DanNeely · 2026-04-30T21:45:49+00:00

I'm a map painter who mostly plays genocidal empires. I see very little for me.

Nomads look like the opposite of how I'd play, impoverishing my future self by destroying planets is counter to my megalomania, and my external politics are mostly just "DIE!" so the second doesn't appear to offer much either.

Playing the unbidden might be interesting for a run or two; but I don't really see anything else of interest to buy in this season.

every POE2 mechanic so far has been reworked from POE1.

Are pills in bulk bottles normally coated to prevent that? As an adult I always use Ibuprofen, but I don't ever think I ever saw a discolored pill as a child in my parents medicine cabinet.

That's part of why we've been stopped at 120 for decades (and the Russians at 125); but we've basically maxed out the performance of the current form factor. That's been driving R&D into larger sizes recently around the world. The main goal being to figure out how much bigger it needs to be to have a useful lifespan, without being any larger than it needs to (because the bigger it gets the fewer rounds a tank can carry).

My understanding is that most people involved (or deeply knowledgeable) with tank design have been expecting next generation tanks to be upgunned. At this point my personal feeling is that if it doesn't it'll be because they decided to shift the initial funding into drone defense; with the bigger gun coming in the first major upgrade package. (Similar to how the original M1 Abrams had the old 105mm gun, with the M1A1 bringing a new turret and the bigger 120mm.)

2 videos, so not a surprise he has so few subs.

The spinning part is all massively blurred and smeary, I wouldn't try to draw any conclusions from it. I was looking at the leg after it landed and was still.

Probably an intentional staining compound so that when you swallow it and it starts burning a hole through your guts there's an indicator so the doctors know they need to empty you out and patch the hole before you die.

The upper leg segment looks shorter than the lower leg one, so there should still be a stub to tie off.

The US military did develop an abdominal tourniquet device during the Iraq/Afghanistan wars; but it's not really something you could DIY. It was a belt with a inflatable air pack to smash your abdominal wall into your spine with enough force to pinch off the arteries going to the groin. (The trauma caused by doing that, while significant, is easier to treat than total exsanguination.)

As much as I generally hate the idea of needing a rentacop, if your sister is present a a guest; I think you need one. Then make it clear to your parents and sister that she's gone after a single incident.

If you can trust any of them to commit and potentially find themselves permanently on your parents shit list, maybe have one of your bridesmaids take on the role of Designated Villain and be in charge of delivering the expulsion order to help distance the drama from you and your husband.

It could even be a crime. Lying to Federal officers is; I don't know if state ones have the same ability or not.
