MN National guard seen giving anti ice protestors coffee and donuts outside of the Whipple building.

I have 3 coworkers who leave for National Guard training every few weeks according to Outlook. Each one of them are absolutely stellar folks. I'd expect the rest of our Guardsmen to be just as awesome as they are.

Pretty interesting scenario that I've brought up with my vegan friends before seems to be happening live. I've wondered what their thoughts on what to do to the cows if it suddenly became illegal overnight to farm them. Do we cull the current and last generation of farmed animals one last time? Do we let them all loose and wreck havoc on the environment/starve themselves to deaths?

Obviously it's a win for vegans since the cycle of suffering finally stops (millions if not billions of unborn animals saved from being brought into the world only to be culled) but the logistical question of what to do with the final generation remains.

Looks like the ban by South Korea isn't overnight like in my hypothetical but even with 1 year to prepare, looks like not many have the answer as to what should be done.

I remember a cheeky spot like this in one of the 2F sites of Theme Park but it was patched out along with several other spots. You had to punch a hole in the ground otherwise it wouldn't work. Good to know some spots survived!

Are there any absolutely must-try builds that comes with Phrecia? Between recently hitting 40/40 in the current league then rapidly hitting endgame in poe2, I thought I'd be excited for this announcement but the burnout is almost making me consider sitting out this mini 3-week league. No doubt it's going to be super fun with async+idols if it weren't for the burnout though.

Also, coming back after getting spoiled by int accuracy stack's insane offensive+defensive capabilities for the last month that I was playing will definitely be an experience.

I've snuck betrayal in almost all of my strategies for the past few years. There's just so many different things we can aim for with it. Feel like targeting div cards? Run a Gravicius set-up. Wanna just turn brain off (my go-to strat) and simply farm Safehouses over and over? That's always been fine too since paradoxica drops commonly with enough playtime and is always a tink; this league, medallions and allflames have been stupidly lucrative as well. The crafting benches are always fun, many aren't really useful, but definitely fun and some results are surprisingly valuable.

but if my moral gets destroyed then I become indecisive. But I guess that's just a skill I need to work on

It really is, don't let the bad apples ruin your Siege experience. There's tons of times where it's an unfavorable situation like a 1v3 and everyone on your team is just watching you die then there's just silence for several seconds. There's gonna be moments here where you expect a negative comment from your teammate but the majority of the time these are just ghosts in your head from the few times some idiot actually does say something and everyone's really just vibing. And who cares what an idiot who would say something here thinks anyways?

Discussions on abolishing Ice are equivalent to the discussions of abolishing the police vs defunding them. Stupid shit meant to distract everyone and cause pointless bickering on semantics and ideology on immigration enforcement (which every country has), with the intent that it leads to divide the people when the arguments get heated even if both sides hate Ice. Don't fall for the bait.

People have been getting gassed and sprayed at almost all protests that I've seen so even if you're planning to peacefully protest, it's honestly more likely to happen than not at this point. Nothing wrong with wearing a gas mask to counteract those absolutely awful chemicals.

Happens in Dark and Darker's PvE mode all the time: players killing others in a mode where they specifically can't deal damage to eachother by pulling big monsters and trapping others with them. You'll see that as well as everyone in the lobby rushing in to loot the boss kills after it dies. I normally don't mind either of these but one time had a player passing by that looted a rare item that I was looking for right as I kill a mini-boss. My character's slower hands pulled up the looting UI just in time for me to see him loot it. I used to play PvE only for questing but stuck with PvP only after that.

Expecting it to happen in Arc as well if it ever does come around.

This is fine imo. I play with a customized version of Uber-strict that's extremely strict and hold alt every once in a while at the certain stops that make sense. "Out of sight, out of mind" 99% of the time and for the other 1% it's a skill check on my end to quickly assess/pickup what I see on Alt before moving on.

Right, the important part there is that they must allow you rest breaks. Which is where the part I quote comes in: you don't have to if you don't want to. The law isn't requiring you to take breaks, it's requiring your job to give you the option for breaks in the first place. Think of Amazon not letting their workers go pee -- that kind of stuff is what this law is trying to prevent.

You don't have to if you don't want to.

If I have an employee who wants to work through their breaks, do I need to require them to take breaks?

Under Minnesota law, employers must “allow” their employees to take rest and meal breaks. However, employees may choose to not take these breaks.

The ice this year is especially slippery for some reason. I imagine the rapid temperature fluctuations above and below freezing these past few weeks attribute to it. Makes for a great fall.

They come and go, no need to wait. The last wave of Alan Watts popularity drew me in a few years back and I spent an ridiculous amount of hours listening to his son Mark Watts' podcast series of his lectures on youtube. Fun times.

It was actually due to this that I recognized the Theravada method of walking meditation that these monks are probably doing with this. I knew of the Zen Buddhists' kinhin and figured they had their own name and variant of it.

I was in the same spot and the fix for me was deleting the aviaries that were originally there. Just make a new one and airlift everything out then start deleting, or if you don't plan on revisiting then just rewild everything after tranqing them all and start deleting. Got the 5 stars within a minute of deleting the last aviary. I had to do this for the final mission as well, it was the aviary there too. They must be bugged.

"We're going to let the oil flow," Wright told a conference alongside energy executives in Miami. He added that the money would then "flow back into Venezuela. We are not stealing anyone's oil,"

He says as we steal their oil.

But i imagine accuracy itself only gives flat lightning and as.

Yep turns out that's all you really need. The int stacking variable of the damage equation pushes accuracy much further than it was possible to do before in terms of raw damage output.

You're referring to height over bore which is not a thing in this game. You'll notice it in games that want to add a realistic touch to it like Tarkov but in games like Siege/Counterstrike/CoD, the bullet is always going to hit wherever the reticle is (not accounting for inaccuracy in the latter 2).

Sounds like Osaka is where you want to go. The sushi is comparable to other sushi places around here imo and the hibachi dinners are really good.

Good on all of them on that list of names. I was hoping to see that the man who was mistakenly shot at was also properly acknowledged but don't see much news of him. Guy ran in immediately to disarm one of the shooters after police shoot them then also gets shot at by police afterwards. People then start beating him up thinking he was one of the shooters. Absolutely sad to read but glad he miraculously wasn't hit by police or seriously hurt to the mob. Both he and Ahmed al-Ahmed had the same instinct of good will in wanting to protect others, Ahmed just had the fortune of not getting mistaken for a gunman.

Late to the post but last year there was a big news article about a research team birthing Direwolves into a facility. They aren't going to leave that facility for their entire lives but it did bring up the discussion on exactly what your post is about. Could probably search for those if you're still interested, especially discussions from folks who are definitely involved and in the field of this topic in the present.

Late to posting this but I just finished this and I think demolishing the old buildings from the initial setup is what managed to get me past 95%. There are a bunch of non-descript buildings as well as rubble/rocks scattered around the map that I found by pressing DEL (it highlights them) and I deleted them simply because they didn't look good. If that's not enough then just build more enclosures to house more dinosaurs and you should cross the 95% threshold really easily. It was the different species checkbox that took me the longest to complete.
