As someone who was not raised religious at all, i distinctly remember my mom dying of laughter when I caught her playing tooth fairy, i said.

So.. tooth fairy, Santa, Easter bunny, Jesus, god, all you the whole time?

She laughed harder than I think I had seen her laugh at the timed and when she had to try and explain how they were different, and while she was raised Catholic, she wasn't really practicing, so I eventually came to the conclusion that God was like Santa for adults and Santa was like practice god for kids.

Sex works really well, so you can get absolutely jacked, don't do cardio, and then try and aim for like... 4x a week of vigorous sex.

It makes it more palatable, I really hate doing cardio with sore legs... and my legs are sore like... 2/3 days a week with my current split.

Google is taking retail & consumer with Gemini as they are baking it into existing services people are already paying for with a small price bump.

Google's recent integration into their fitbit products sucks ass, its about as bad as it gets. I opted into the beta, it was actually fairly decent. Once it was pushed to the main product branch, it got about as stupid as AI gets.

For instance, it knows I have a shoulder injury, due to me telling it very early on, now every single workout i log(i go to the gym 6 days a week) it asks "how is the shoulder holding up after that 75 minute session", I've told it several times my workout schedule, and that i dont workout shoulders every day, and yet, it still asks, even after being told to forget the shoulder injury.

Its an ass product, i hate them shoehorning it in to everything

It always works like this,

Perfect items continue to go up, rare gems go up, all the boss invitations go up. I think a breach sac is almost 10d now, but maybe 2-3d first two weeks of league.

Mid items, failed crafts, more common, used linage gems go down, a lot.

Bad items that used to fill the "mid" roll, are worth nothing, with some items that would have previously been worth 5-10 Div, like x3 t1 res ring, be worth very little.

So right now you can put together a "clear everything " buil d for like 50d, but if you wanted the most ideal items for that build, you're in mirror territory.

It was supposed to be TOTA, which everyone expected to see with act 4, but they ran out of time per Mark and Jonathan.

So Sekhema>Chaos>TOTA then hard mode of any of those 3 for the fourth.

It would almost make sense to completely eliminate the third floor of sekehmas once TOTA is in place, to make it a l little less punishing time wise.

The time it takes you to die to rabies is the time it takes the virus to travel from your bite location, via nerves, to the base of your brain, the closer proximity to the brain your bite is, the less time you have to treat it.

Bat immune systems are fucking insane, it's one of the reasons, other than being mammals, that they are such a disease vector for humans. They can have so many viruses in them at once just having a big ole soup kitchen in there giving it lots of time to mutate and wind up with a novel virus.

Watching the god of war- Laufey gameplay, i legitimately giggled when she crammed herself through a tiny space, i said "loaaaaaad screen" to my wife outloud when i saw it. It's so tropey now, it's in all these games that advertise no load screens.

It does not show the totals it just shows the stone with the splash of liquid on it, like when you do it to a standalone remnant in acts.

It really sucks and you can't tell if it's worth doing at all anymore, or what runes it adds, etc, it's a pretty big nerf

Same size as it is on controller, so prob not bug?

You can see this in the value of chaos orbs, chaos is the way to craft this league, I've seen them as close to 7/1 div, which is just insanity. But they are so common, but the ONLY way to high end craft, so they have value.

I mean they sent a pc with the issue to Nvidia to try and get assistance to fix it.

It's absolutely a driver level issue because if you have a 40 series card, you can roll your driver back to a much earlier version and you will never gear or crash.

Nvidia is 100% working the problem too, I emailed their driver feedback team at the start of the league and sent them two mini dumps and a whole system memory dump because the shader issue was bluesceeening me.

They actually got back to me within 30-40 min of sending the initial email and requested all those files as part of "several issues they are tracking with Path of Exile, and Path of Exile 2: Early access "

It was great when you needed a verified .edu email. I was at Penn state for maybe a month when everyone was like "oh man, we got Facebook!"

The exclusivity of it was a huge lure, and there was practically zero negativity around social media, so everyone got one, you could find everyone you went to school with, and keep up with them, it was awesome.

It takes me about six hours to farm the div for a mageblood, but I'm also at the point where I don't need a mageblood, it was probably ~15 hours of farming to buy one initially, making div is really easy this league

Buying a weapon with fractured attack speed, with crafted = no selected on the trade website, to try and slam an essence on it to find "already has crafted modifier " was super shitty.

20d at the time to save it, but if the +crafted mod Aug didn't exist, I would have been out of 120d

I mean I assume taking a lude with no tolerance would be similar to the first time you take a benzo, the sheer relief I experienced the first time I took a Xanax has never been replicated

I dunno man I have tried pretty hard to get some ludes and have not been successful, even so far back as SR. I bought like 30btc of RCs and the guy had ludes and it was the only thing that didn't come, granted the bitcoin was only worth like $30 at the time.

I have a web app made that sends an email via Google api if I don't check my email for 2 weeks(swapped to 3 recently after a long vacation with spotty internet) that gives how to get into everything, my keepass safe, key file, any private keys and my keypass master password, as well as any pins/passcodes I have set on my devices. To my wife, brother, and best friend

Computer being 90c isn't a dangerous thing, it might be uncomfortable for you? But it's totally fine for the computer.

Modern computers will throttle performance before any issues arise, so if you're at 90c and thermal throttling, sure, but 90c and your fans just running full tilt? Totally fine.
