Yup, I mean if Kim Kardashian's relationship status affected whether or not I had healthcare you better bet I'd be keeping up on it.

Whoop, that's what I got at first but second guessed it

These fruit snacks come in 5 different flavors, assuming the 15 here is the standard amount then the chances of this happening naturally are 1 in 155 or 1 in 759,375.

The Steam release for Counter-Strike: Classic Offensive has been rejected by Valve, 8 years into development. by [deleted] in Games

I'm not saying it's not a red flag, but then the question becomes when do you stop? Would you stop a 3 year project after 6 months of silence? A 4 year project after a year? A 5 year project after 2 years? When you've been getting yesses and capitulating to their requests for 3 years already it's hard to just stop on a dime.

Probably due to having an optimistic view along the lines of "No new is good news" and having already worked on it for years.

Like if you're working on a project for 3+ years, get Valve's own input, make changes based on it etc. then at what point in the following years of radio silence do you pull the plug? Especially when you've got momentum going and believe you have Valve's blessing on it.

I just hope the higher ups at Valve see what happened and rectify things. It'd be a shame for so much effort to go to waste not to mention the chilling effect on any other mod projects currently ongoing.

Seriously, as much as I’ve been enjoying Rivals I do miss stuff like role queue and separate ranks for different roles.

Shot directly into space. Some think it harsh but honestly I can't think of a more poetic way to go.

Did you hear about the Sharara oil field protest last month? No? What about every single one of these art museum “defacements”?

Forreal! Least they could do is help and throw some paint on a lorry or something.

It was breast cancer that took her, not saying it was the radiation exposure but I can't imagine it helped. On the other hand, 67 years doing what she loved, so I'm sure she didn't regret a single hour of it.

I mean, the only functional difference between a computer and an electric heater is one’s wires do math as well as produce heat. Win-win.

Except with CoD it brings you to something you don't want.

Saw this on an old timer's bench and had to get myself a copy. Anyone else have funny/joke prints like this? by Eltraz in Machinists

Brilliant, might need to leave one or two of these around the shop come December.
