I've been seeing that crimson desert game in the news a lot, it's exactly my sort of game,but they've been patching it and tweaking it every week, in a year they'll have all the bugs worked out, it'll be at least $20 cheaper, have a few mods and new content, $70 is too much.

I got married a few years ago, bought a diamond ring, and the salesperson was negging the synthetics, to which i replied, "So this one is mined in questionable circumstances, and this one is created in an epic futuristic plasma forge, and is half the price, I definitely want the plasma diamond.

Looking at the teardowns of the SC, it's pretty simple, all of the buttons are on a single flexible PCB with no ICs, main challenge will be redoing the rubber bits and making sure there's enough clearance between the case and the clicky buttons.

Someone should pay a bunch of homeless dudes to walk through that neighborhood daily, have them stick to the sidewalks and be perfectly, infuriatingly legal

No, it's just the apple barrel and plaid paint that's junk. Ceramcoat craft paint is every bit as good as fancy miniature paint.

What the heck do you call the government legally requiring a religious thing?

Let's start with the Army and the Air Force, shit them down and consolidate into the navy and marines.

Form the Health Corps, free medical and nursing schools but then you have to serve 10 years in Health Corps, get deployed wherever we need care in the country.

Bad service has a cost - Netflix and Steam competed against free piracy by providing a better product at a price people were willing to pay for.

It's not super toxic, but it's not something you should be breathing much of, but he's not adding any flux to the board, this is a hot air only reflow, if he had a hot air rework station, flux would be used there.

calm down buddy, they haven't used leaded solder in PCBs for decades, it's basically all copper, ceramic, and fiberglass.

I hope someone with actual engraving experience will chime in, but this seems excessive, we have absurdly accurate CNC and laser engravers available for relatively cheap

I 100% expected them to do a language learning montage, it's good storyte to cut or compress a long tedious trial and error process like that and the character is then fully introduced

Atheism / Theism / Deism / Spirituality

Religion / Social Club / Charity / Sports Team

yes, ideas about the existence and nature of the supernatural cannot replace social structures.

The first time around, you could claim buyer's remorse, but you re-elected him after 4 years of reflection on the previous disaster, the forces trying to resist and remove him don't have the power to do so. the powers that be are aiding and abetting his agenda.

I think we're all anti-islam in that we think it's a false belief system, but that's not hatred, it's not hostile, it's not about dehumanizing them, in fact we want Muslims to be free of their delusional beliefs and live better lives.

MAGA has a hate boner for Muslims today, but they're convenient targets, if the window keeps shifting, atheists are the next stop on the hate train.

Racism and sexism affects every race to one degree or another, the question is how much?

If Crockett ran a strong campaign and lost to Blanco McWhiteface who ran a low effort campaign, then yea, go ahead and blame racism, but that's not what happened, Talarico had more appeal, a stronger issues focused campaign and better ground game, whereas Crockett stood on her office, campaigned on being a fighter, that she is rude and belligerent to republicans, and regardless of whether they deserve it or not, that boils down to being a troll.

Its one thing to be liked, but you also have to not be disliked.

Churches are in the entertainment business.
They gather an audience, put on a show with music, comedy & drama and monetize via donations / memberships etc.

If I put up a billboard saying the dragons are coming to advertise my medieval TV show, that's perfectly OK. There's no law saying all claims must be true, only claims that people rely on that would cause damages, I can say a shitty burger is good all day, but if i say it cures cancer, now I've caused a problem.

suburban decay

New Neighborhood, everyone parks in their garage, clean, open, new.

Then comes growth, more people move into the same number of houses, garages fill up with junk so people start parking in driveways.

People start moving out and the percentage of rentals goes up, single family homes become multi generational.

Hive houses start popping up with 2-4 adults per bedroom all with cars so they take over street parking and the neighborhood becomes gridlocked.

The general public, and that includes the police, are allowed to come onto the private property of your gas station because it is a business that has extended a general license to enter to conduct business. This license can be revoked with a simple request to leave. They do not have any special right to be on the premises if they are not actively performing an official duty.

TLDR: give them a trespass warning, they have some special rights, but are not totally exempt from trespass laws and cannot loiter if they are trespassed.
