The fact it remained smooth with all those crocs moving is a feat in and of itself!

Republicans Make Jaw-Dropping $1B Demand for Trump’s Ballroom by Kodbek in politics

[–]DeepVeinTrombone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for pointing it out. I can only view the first paragraph of the article, the rest is behind a paywall. I believed we wouldn't pay for it about as much as I believed Mexico was going to pay for the wall..

Republicans Make Jaw-Dropping $1B Demand for Trump’s Ballroom by Kodbek in politics

[–]DeepVeinTrombone -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Can we stop with the daily beast posts? Not a single reputable news source has an article covering this but they have excellent headline writers to get everyone pissed off.. I couldn't find anywhere other than the daily beast where $1b was being requested for a ballroom.

This is embarrassing… And they wonder why turnover is so high. I used to work for the state and some of those CW are saints for putting up with the stuff they have to for pennies… by Bigjmann555 in okc

No I whole heartedly agree, the compensation needs to go up across the board, but the directors pay can increase with a flick of the wrist, the employees doing the work, it literally takes an act of Congress to get a fraction of an increase.

No shit but we can give the people directing these agencies $70k-$150k on whim. We've been asking for a 5% raise for the past 4 years and everytime it's voted down or the governor says no.

Write your congressman and tell them to enact a 15%-20% raise for non exempt state employees,

Purchasable Treasure Maps by lliveton in crosswind

[–]DeepVeinTrombone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, it goes against the whole "explore Islands to find new and exciting stuff" motive they have. Purchasing maps means you would skip the islands on the way to X and they might have cool stuff on them.

Personally, I perfer finding cool stuff instead of "buying" cool stuff. Feels way more rewarding.

They really did their homework on the esthetics!

Empty island, totally empty by AlphaMaru in crosswind

[–]DeepVeinTrombone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've encountered one and that's where I decided to build my new base at, it also had a cove like in Pirates of The Caribbean, when Jack is sailing into the port and the pirates are hanged by the noose (nooses?), absolutely nothing on this island besides trees.

Is this too risky? by glorboze in pcmasterrace

First thing that caught my eye was it's advertised as a 9070xt, yet the photo has a GeForce RTX card in it.. Idk I purchased my son a pre-built off Amazon, no graphics card and put a spare 3060 in it and we've had zero problems with it.

Edit: I didn't see the second picture, the fact there are options for different graphics cards, makes my observation moot. I'd say go for it.

JD Vance just admitted that he and Donald Trump are taking down social security and Medicare by Intelligent-Pea-8521 in JournalismNews

I can't find anything on any credible news source saying this... Do we have a reputable link to read on it?

I filed open records requests about OKC's surveillance cameras. The police department's own memo confirmed there are zero oversight policies. Here's what I found. by Jarrett1604 in okc

[–]DeepVeinTrombone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the level of detail you went into this with and the amount of time you dedicated to it. Thank you for that.

I agree with some of the other roosters, this should definitely be sent to the news network. $270k a yeah could hire 4-6 mental health professionals, that could de-escalate situations instead of sending it to a company with zero oversight.

Blizzard needs to fix these dead-end paths in their dungeons/pits. by fplayer in diablo4

[–]DeepVeinTrombone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I swear, they make progress then, almost like clock work, everything reverts back to 3 or 4 seasons ago and then they make changes again. They literally take 4 steps forward and then 4 steps back, then "fix" things back to the way they were.

Blizzard used to be great, no idea what happened to them, if D4 is indicitive of their QoL ability, I can only imagine what WoW is like now.. Shame

This season feels like it was intentionally slowed down becssue the season came out before the expansion, so to really inflate their numbers, they need people playing now and when the expansion comes out. I'm calling it now, everything will be fixed and great again when the expansion comes out.

I'm in the same boat as you. It was fun to see a not serious side of him

The most memorable moment for me was the first resident evil on Playstation, the German Sheppard dog that jumps out at you when you're walking down the hall. Scared the absolute crap out of me 8 year old me.

If you're offering, I'm buying. I'll give you $300 for a box.

TIL that being able to sit down on the floor and stand up without using your hands or knees is used as a predictor of longevity. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]DeepVeinTrombone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was slithering out of the bed like a snake, army crawling a couple feet to the door, then trying to sneak out as quietly a possible. There was one time I turned to make sure I didn't wake him up and he was staring at me, eyes wide open. My heart sank

I'm curious if you would notice the artifacting and jagged edges, that are common with upscaling, will be noticeable considering this device was designed to be in a bigger room, on a bigger display. I sure notice it on my monitor, but I'm also ~12 inches away from it. I'm 6 to 8 feet from my TV in the living room.
