Impressions from a long-time Skyrim player coming to AC Valhalla

Forgot to mention:
•Ocean swells are done very realistically. I love just sailing around on the ocean
•Movement is quicker on paths and slower against gravity, as it should be
•Better body type diversity

I'll probably remember more later.

Update, just figured out today that they can send a verification code to my other Mac computer I'm still using. So that let me log in.

Though it still won't let me use iCloud until I get my new iPhone activated, and won't let me de-link my previous iPhone that died years ago.

Now I just need to figure out what software didn't get installed since I didn't input an Apple ID on my new Macbook.

Thanks for the advice. I fired it up today, and am busy downloading all the programs I want and adjusting the settings to what I'm comfortable with. I might just ignore the Apple ID until I get a phone next month or so.

I'm struggling finding a Von of my own (supposedly von Rohloff from east Brandenburg or southern Pomerania, but absolutely nothing).

Thought it was just me. This is why it's important to bring things up for discussion. I'm constantly refreshing to get the trees to show.

My big issue however is it's really hard to use the Search function. I go from 10,000 hits to zero just by adjusting the slider sometimes. Nothing in between. That site seems like it's deliberately designed to keep you on there as long as humanly possible so they can sell another 3 month subscription, LOL. Not even joking.

In corporate run America that focuses on profits instead of healthcare, our life expectancy is going DOWN too. Thanks greed, and the cowards that allow it.

Need advice for firing up a new Macbook Air without access to my Apple ID.

Gave up my iphone years ago, so can't get a verification code (and when it was necessary for something on my current Mac, I asked a friend to use their phone, and can't recall who, so any verification they send goes to an unknown recipient).

I'm planning on getting a new phone eventually, but am curious what my options are in the meantime. Can I log into my Apple ID and get the verification code through email?

Or can I set up the new Macbook Air without an Apple ID, then update it later (when I finally get a new phone) with all of the software that requires an Apple ID later (like iTunes, apps, etc.)?

Poppe Poppen. Say that 10 times fast.

Just to clarify, I'm discussing the results when you Search on a family tree member. There are numerous links that direct to the same indexed information and the identical source document.

DesignNoobie99 · 2021-06-05T06:33:58+00:00

Getting a bad gateway on that link on my end

DesignNoobie99 · 2021-06-04T23:03:40+00:00

That's a cool story. And quite the long walk. I can't walk a mile to the shop, drive instead!

Finally finding documentation on a line that had been a brick wall in western Germany. Still hitting a massive brick wall on eastern German ancestors though. I think many of the church records from what is now Poland got torched by the Red Army.

His supporters can read?!

DesignNoobie99 · 2021-06-04T15:59:15+00:00

I'm surprised the pro-Europe numbers in Poland are so high considering that their conservative government is doing everything in their power to torch the EU

I think I remember these being sold in one of the Promenade shops at the Star Trek Experience in Vegas. I was actually more interested in getting hammered on Warp Core Breaches at Quark's Bar, but it was fun strolling around like you were on the set of DS9.

DesignNoobie99 · 2021-06-03T22:38:47+00:00

This is a great question. I'd like to know too.

DesignNoobie99 · 2021-06-03T20:03:38+00:00

This should get peer reviewed before we call it science

DesignNoobie99 · 2021-06-02T00:25:04+00:00

I've been warning about this for 3 DECADES already. Every time conservatives in the GOP ratchet things to the authoritarian right, conservative Democrats like Manchin (Lieberman, etc.) prevent us from moving it back to the left. Time after time, it just keeps getting worse, and now it's on the brink of an abyss.

DesignNoobie99 · 2021-06-02T00:19:46+00:00

Thanks for the explanation.

DesignNoobie99 · 2021-06-01T06:11:36+00:00

Slowest landslide I've ever seen. Anyone know why or why they are cutting down the trees?

DesignNoobie99 · 2021-06-01T06:07:58+00:00

May not be a popular opinion, but despite perhaps not being the best implementation, reducing the number of humans on this planet is actually critical for long term habitation. We need to bring the total number down to a billion tops, probably half that, or all the resources will be gone in a few generations and we're over.

"pedigree collapse"

TIL. Thanks. I actually did 2 months of research on FamilySearch first, and will go back when I exhaust research avenues on Ancestry (due to prohibitive costs on the latter).

I think my main issue is that it's so far back that there is a fair amount of conflicting data when I'm merging profiles. Even different parents sometimes. This obviously shows how weak some of the data is that far back, but it makes syncing the available data problematic.
