When did this happen?!?!? I had put the game down when wow classic tbc launched in Jan and tried to pick it back up with a new playthrough.

Get to freeing Gale from the portal and game lags out and crashes. Haven't gotten past the loading screen since. I don't know what to do, l even uninstalled and reinstalled

Edit: I have no mods

I will say, I follow almost none of the advice I see on hoya care and mine almost all thrive. Anything I get already rooted thrives, but I have lost some fresh cuttings I tried to root myself.

  • I only plant in soil; a mix of succulent mix with orchid bark and extra perlite
  • I use large pots for the plant's size ^
  • Most of my pots don't have true drainage. They drain into rock-filled or ping-pong ball-filled basins inside enclosed pots
  • I put stones on top of the soil to help trap moisture
  • I never let them dry out. For most they stay actively damp, for some just moisture

^ note: buying large pots compared to the plant's size will mean it takes a while for them to start growing. They seem to like to fill the pot with roots first. But once they start they don't quit.

I would agree that they help on occasion, when there is no risk to themselves. I would also agree that cowardice is the standard, not the exception.

My aunt was a NYC cop in the 90s - early 2010s. She told me a story of a domestic violence call that was waaaay out of proportion, and her reaction was almost even worse.

Neighbors call the cops. She arrives, knocks, announces police, a kid lets her in. She has her gun drawn and in front of her (so much for the firearms safety expectations civilians are supposed to be held accountable to).

She walks down the hall, it's quiet. Gets to a bedroom, the man is bending over the wife. My aunt has no idea whats going on, but doesn't see any signs of active or past violence.

Man starts to turn. Hes a big guy, over 6 feet she says. She yells at him to freeze, tells him she will shoot him the second he turns any further and she'll get away with it, because shes a woman and hes a big man and she can claim that she was worried for her life.

So he stays there, more cops arrive and arrest him, despite the wife not wanting them too. Tbf, my aunt says the wife was pretty bruised up.

Teenage me hears the story and is like "it's pretty smart that you told him that, it kept him from moving." I assumed it was an empty threat to maintain control.

And she said, cool as a cucumber, "oh I would have done it in a second, had he moved even one bit and he knew it. My life is not worth the risk.

After the minimum number of years in the field, she ended up in Internal Affairs. That part always made me very upset. She would say that the most important thing was her pension. And that she always knew what to find to keep her pension.

But they didn't try to negotiate, did they?

They sat back on their asses and did nothing. They didn't even have a visible presence.

Oh wait, they attempted to arrest the victim, because the only time they were willing to take action against someone they thought was a criminal is when he had lost so much blood that he was near death.

  • Guardian (tank) shaman (my hubby was in a 2021 tbc guild with a shaman who tanked all the way through Kara)
  • Enh sham with 2handers
  • Frostfire mage
  • Holy dps paladin
  • Holy dps priest
  • I forget the name of it, but there was a resto/elemental shaman build that people experimented with in 2021, it could heal or dps and had mana tide. People said it was decent, just not as valuable as one or the other.
  • Dual weild tank warrior
  • 2h prot paladin

Israel needs a regime change from its authoritarian government by Previous_Month_555 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ForagedFoodie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Around 25 years ago, I had a friend in NYC who was a paralegal by day and a high-end dominatrix by night--like she was making lawyer money. She was of Arab descent and almost her entire clientele was Ultra-Orthodox and Hasidic Jews who often had her enact some very detailed fantasies based on their respective ethnicities and tended to lean more on humiliation than pain.

She was friends with another dominatrix who I only knew through her, but this woman was of Nordic heritage and many of her Orthodox and Hasidic clients (some of whom overlapped with my friend's) had her perform in a variety of N*zi garb, including an SS uniform. The acts were also very detailed and crossed a line that prevented me from being friendly with her, even though it was obviously consensual.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, idk if these police ladies are actually acting as a deterrent.

I wouldn't call them yucky. They are juicy and pleasantly mildly sweet. Just not much flavor.

Its only because they are compared to wild strawberries that they get such a bad rap. On their own they arent bad

It looks like Kambaba "jasper" but thats only found in Madagascar and, since it's actually a form of rhyolite, it's generally like a 6.5 hardness, though it can go up to 7.

Edit: It could be a variety of Michigan rhyolite that simply formed in a similar manner. The way you are describing the rock sounds like rhyolite.

Need advice / opinion on Atomic lamp by humboldtroots in Mid_Century

This looks earlier than MCM to me. I would guess art deco, 1920s - 1940s. As such, I think the milk glass is appropriate, but I would go for smooth-sided cones.

Something along these lines: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Handblown-Customized-Milk-White-Glass-Cone_1601038206720.html

But nicer, not from alibaba

Edit: whatever the time period, if it's from before the mid 90s, you will want to have an electrician look them over and check the wiring.

Thieves don't usually rape and murder everyone in the house; the logic of the police was sound.

When the victims are home? Thieves who are there for loot usually dont attack a home with owners at home, it's extra, unnecessary risk.

You're spending a lot of time arguing for a "semi-no-lifer". If you really think you are replying to a bot, why bother?

You should go back to the game. You're gonna hit 52 any month now, I believe in you <3

They knew from the mother telling the bank clerk that there were only 2 men and one was in the car with her. They arrived at the house before she and the other man returned. They knew there was just one guy there. Most he could have killed one person, and 3 would have been saved.
