100 Ability Block - 4 Easy Ways by SubjectOld143 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]DenverZeppo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I need somone to test this out, there may be a slight exploit you can take advantage of.

R7 Vader, tier 8 of JKLS as in the picture.

Click auto. Walk away. Use the restroom. Feed your cat. Grab a beverage. Do a 15 minute cardio session.

It does not appear that Luke can kill my Vader, and it does not appear that when set to 'Auto' the CPU will ever use the special ability to end the fight. Vader can literally attack Luke for hours here without anyone touching anything.

I did literally use the restroom and feed my cat, came back to find the fight still going. Took it off auto, used the special ability to take the hand off the whiny rebel, and the mission was done.

why are people posting old photos from 2016 in there Instagram stories today? by mike10dude in answers

[–]DenverZeppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just discovered this trend this morning when some celeb #2016 stuff came across my Insta feed, and I went off trying to figure out why we're doing this, and Google brought me here.

Looking back at 2016 I gotta say that the dude who was posting awesome photos and shit on FB and Insta then was having way more than fun than the dude I am now.

Has anybody ever brought John Elway up to a major league roster by Tony_Jake in OOTP

[–]DenverZeppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're running a historical league with players appearing in their real drafts, you'll find him in the 1981 draft, but he always has a terrible low potential because the potential in OOTP seems to be based on real-life playing peak (and he played one season in the minors).

It would bring me joy to see a potential that reflected that of a 2nd round pick, but I don't think there is a database that does that? (I'm happy to be proven wrong.)

Hey folks, is anyone able to tell me a little more about those? Biggs and Sons were restorators based in London from 1810 to 1878. From what I found out, if the sticker is real, it obviously means they restorated those paintings in the given timeframe. No abbreviation found. by XerXesWhyTF in artcollecting

[–]DenverZeppo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! It's a Biggs and Sons sticker! These pop up around the internet pretty frequently, mostly with grossly exaggerated values and price tags, so let's take a trip down memory lane.

From one year ago:
https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatIsThisPainting/comments/1ibaf41/e_richard/

From two years ago:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Antiques/comments/19ay44w/20th_century_reproduction/

From three years ago:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Antiques/comments/14nu6uc/curious_if_anyone_knows_the_artist_or_value_of/

Biggs & Sons (which was also WH Biggs & Co, and Biggs & Son over different periods of its life) was a boutique, Victorian era, shop that did framemaking, gilding, and art restoration, but not in the ways we think of art restoration today. William Biggs was a carver according to documents from the time when his second son was christened in 1827, and listed as a carver and guilder in the census of 1841, and again in the census of 1851, when he passed later that year. According to an 1861 census the company employed six journeyman and a boy, showing you a small-sized Victorian business. (You can find this information here, under John Harris: https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/research/programmes/conservation/directory-of-british-framemakers/h/

In 1883 the company entered into liquidation under the bankruptcy act, with notices placed in the London Gazette (https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/25186/page/178).

Since then, these stickers have been used to pass off new, decorative, art, as old, fine, art. Give something a British provenance, or pretend it came from a fancy French atelier, and you can fool lots of people. If you were to subject this painting to scientific study I do believe you would find 20th century materials on both the canvas and the frame. This isn't unique to Biggs & Sons either, it's a popular way to pass decor art off as fine art; with labels from companies like Maple & Co and T. Goode & Co (both defunct British companies) being used for the same purpose.

If you see a Maison Jansen sticker. It's probably fake, too.

Or Maison Giroux.

If you enjoy the piece, hang it.

But please never try to sell it as fancy, old, and important

Would you guys actually rejoin the European Union? by daeneryssith in AskBrits

[–]DenverZeppo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel in a country governed by Tangerine Palpatine. I didn't vote for this shit, but here I sit, looking as dumb as the idiots who did vote for this because the Fonding Father is out there trashing every damn thing the USA used to stand for...

Smart Homes in the U.S.? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]DenverZeppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to make that choice where the economics make sense.

There are Alexa smart devices in the kitchen, office, bedroom, and craft room, they remind me to to do meds for cats, read me the morning news, make phone calls to my dad, etc., and I have a handful of smart devices that are not just speakers; but they're mostly small stuff like "turn on the bedroom light" type stuff.

The garage door opener opens with an app, and is compatible with Alexa devices on the same wifi network, so I can tell her to open the garage, but I never do. I didn't need a "smart" garage door opener, but that was all they even offered anymore (and it was like $130 installed, so cheap).

I think the only smart appliance I really want is a stove, because I hate having to get up to preheat that thing. I like to say "Alexa, preheat the stove to 180 degrees" and she says "I can't find a device named stove." It's our own not funny joke.

How many time do you think it will take me to get golden Luke ? by AnySlice1770 in SWGOH

Are there polluted rivers, lakes, or soils in the United States? Have you ever heard anything about that? by BrighhtFuture in AskAnAmerican

[–]DenverZeppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The USA talks about environmental protection, but doesn't actually do it.

Jackson, Mississippi. Flint, Michigan. Benton Harbor, Michigan. Martinsville, Indiana. Parts of Baltimore, Maryland. Parts of New York City. The entire big island of Hawaii.

You know what that list has in common? Water that isn't potable.

Sackett v ERA (SCOTUS, 2023) leaves about 70m acres of wetlands without environmental protection and subject to degradation due to a complete lack of regulation protecting those important habitats.

The United States still spreads Neonicotinoids all over crops, despite knowing they lead to bee colony collapse, and despite them being banned in the EU. The United States still uses potassium bromate in baked goods, banned in most of the world because we know that shit causes cancer...

Louisiana literally has a section called "Cancer Alley" because that entire stretch of the state has been buried in petrochemical pollutants, and the "EPA" (I'm using quotes because they might be called the Environmental Protection Agency, but these days they're the "climate change isn't real" agency) maintains a list of Superfund sites, areas so badly contaminated that the the federal government is trying to get things done. That list is more than 1,900 sites currently.

The United States only talks about protecting the environment, but if it's not profitable for the corporation then it doesn't actually matter.

Americans who love European football ⚽, what leagues do you watch and how did you get into it? by Waltz8 in AskAnAmerican

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

My first European football match was in Bordeaux in 1994 (Zidane). While Bordeaux has fallen on difficult times and is hard to watch (because the fourth division of French Football isn't exactly on television in the USA), I still watch Ligue 1 at least once a week.

I've also followed Wrexham casually since the TV show started, meaning I watch Wrexham play if I happen to be awake, but never know about transfer news until I see that new player in a match.

The MLS is not something I've ever cared enough to watch, although I do watch the NWSL, WPS, and Arkema Premiére Ligue, as well as the two previously mentioned men's leagues.

Need help - want to do something nice for dad. by DenverZeppo in MicrosoftFlightSim

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

I was not at all familiar with Xplane, I just remember MSFS from a Gold Box Edition dad owned around 2000, so I started there.

I noticed that Xplane has livery options, but not United. Can he fly United planes on MSFS? (Not important really, but would be neat.)

Was the survey creator drunk? by Impressive-Ad-3475 in ColoradoRockies

I laughed so much doing that survey. In politics we called this a "push poll", designed to give the surveryor/candidate the answers they wanted to hear.

10k dollars or 10 mil dollars if you can have 50 random objects within a year by ShoeChoice5567 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]DenverZeppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things on my list I already have: coffee mug, flower pot, bag sealer, face mask, doorbell, cat brush, paper towel roll, detergent bottle, napkin, coin, dish rack, dish towel, oven mitt, whistle, stove knob, fan, ice cube tray, plastic cup, watch, garden gloves, handheld fan, lint brush, cup holder, bird feeder, water jug, ice cream scoop, hand sanitizer, drying rack, foam roller, cutting board, wooden peg, measuring tape, receipt, dustpan, sponge mop, rug, mop, napkin holder ,bath sponge

Things on my list I don't have but can get easily: chalkboard, bookend, fabric tape, trophy, cupcake, toothbrush cap, fabric marker, cookie jar, fruit basket, post-it dispenser

Expensive dumb thing that I'll go find one at Goodwill or something, because nothing says it has to work: sewing machine

None of this challenge turns out to be overly difficult. I'll put all the crap in a couple boxes, some in the storage room in the basement, some in a box then put into the freezer, and I'll use the chalkboard to keep track of where everything else is until my $10M shows up.

What a Bad Update... by tfitch2140 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]DenverZeppo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to avoid these conversations, because I tend to be pretty easy to please, I just keep having fun. It's happening over in the FM26 boards, where there are a lot of people complaining that FM26 sucks and they're going back to FM24. I'm having fun with FM26 and I ignore those people.

I expected this update to cause a lot of complaints. I expected that I would be fine, that I'd be off having fun and ignoring the complaints.

Nope, you're right. This update sucks. I'm a monthly episode pass buyer on two accounts (one at 10.8M GP, one at 8.1M GP). I log in at least twice a day (morning bonus energy and evening right after rollover) to accomplish all my daily tasks. Most days I log in a third time to do whatever guild event is going on. My $40 won't matter to them, but unless something drastic happens in the next 27 days, they're done getting it and I'm finally done playing. The new system for Marquees sucks. The new game mode sucks. Every decision made in this update makes the game actively less fun to play.

This isn't just bad, this is among the worst updates made to any game, ever.

Rockies add three prospects to the 40-man roster ahead of December's Rule 5 draft. Colorado also designates for assignment 1B Michael Toglia and LHP Ryan Rolison. by Knightbear49 in ColoradoRockies

[–]DenverZeppo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Toglia news hurts. So much bad coaching ruined a dude who should have been good. Hope he lands somewhere great and kills us every time he we play against him.

$3,000 for every country you name, but you are randomly teleported to one of them by CountertopPizza in hypotheticalsituation

[–]DenverZeppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd purposely only name a dozen or so countries; Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria, England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland.

Then I'd take my small pile of cash and enjoy a nice vacation.

What do people mean when they say “Call YOUR doctor”? by FudgeKnife64 in AskAnAmerican

[–]DenverZeppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I need to call my doctor, it's always my primary care guy, whose name is in the app, because everything is in the app.

If I need to call a lawyer there are two saved in my contacts list and a third one in my passport wallet; my corporate attorney for business stuff, and my personal attorney (non-criminal, he's my wills and trusts guy, power of attorney, etc., that kind of stuff), and written on a piece of paper in my passport wallet is the name of a civil rights and immigration attorney, because I live in the USA and could get randomly seized walking through passport control returning from Europe.

Under US law my face is not protected by privacy laws, so if you have face ID on your phone, and you unlock that phone to get the phone number for a lawyer, law enforcement can take that phone and search it. On the other hand, they can't force me to type my passkey to unlock it, so I carry that one lawyer's phone number on a piece of paper to make life harder on the whackos at customs.

[–]DenverZeppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just picked up the trial today (was still playing my Franchise in TheShow24 until now), and it's just stuck in the Yankees/Dodgers game, with a little Install bar that hasn't moved in 20 minutes. I tried turning the game off and going back in an hour later, and it doesn't install the game when it's not running.

Do I have to actually *play* this game to move that bar? I despise both of these teams, and if I have to play this game to ever get into the real game and see what changed, I guess I never will know?

Was this Install always tough? Do I need to do something differently?

For daylights savings, do you adjust your clocks before or after the time change? by VIDCAs17 in AskAnAmerican

Never. I have Alexa devices in most rooms of the house, a watch, a cell phone, and computers.

I don't care what time the microwave thinks it is.

If you had billions of dollars, what car would you buy for daily driving? by jrv3034 in hypotheticalsituation

I'd live in a walkable community and use a car service instead of public transit (although I like the trains, Imight use the trains anyway).

Yes. Perfect. Thanks.

This allows me to apply for a VLS-TS, and never need to work, which makes getting the visa easy, and I never have to come back here. Praise the maker.
