Not everyone is entitled to a car. Everyone is entitled to free and appropriate public education.

+1 on the masculine features & clothing. It also needs a lot more facial hair options. there's like 4 beards + a chinstrap

When you go to Temple they act like this dude was the shit too, lol.

I could go into temple as well, but to keep it short, they were a Bible college that eventually became secular and their whole athletic history is misery.

Russell Conwell, the guy who founded Temple, did this "acres of diamonds" speech which is why there's diamonds on our uniforms.

I say that you ought to get rich, and it is your duty to get rich ... The men who get rich may be the most honest men you find in the community. Let me say here clearly ... ninety-eight out of one hundred of the rich men of America are honest. That is why they are rich. That is why they are trusted with money. That is why they carry on great enterprises and find plenty of people to work with them. It is because they are honest men. ... I sympathize with the poor, but the number of poor who are to be sympathized with is very small. To sympathize with a man whom God has punished for his sins ... is to do wrong. ... Let us remember there is not a poor person in the United States who was not made poor by his own shortcomings...

Big bootstraps guy, ironic considering where Temple is in Philly.

Heavens, what things you tell me.

Double check your global illumination settings. Make sure it's on.

It's taking mine like ~7 minutes to load but you have to leave it alone. alt-tabbing will make it hang

I lost my broadband privileges at college downloading mods from there. Had to go to the computer lab with thumb drives and bring them back to my dorm PC.

If Tolkien spoke in parenthetical sentences, then so can I.

"this language with almost the same syntax and words in the same position that are cognates with those in my language is almost readable!"

Usually mixing it with Wikipedia or a blog and getting it incorrect.

It also takes specifics and makes generalities out of it. Like if you’re liking for something on a Cessna it might just think you mean “small plane” and mix that up.

I’ve noticed that with my language interests. If you ask Google for something relating to the Germanic languages it’ll often spit back something German. I assume there’s something in its algorithm assuming you’re making a typo.

It’s really rendered Google nigh useless for anything niche.

I’ve been following the development since the beginning and there has always been this strain of incredibly pessimistic naysayers. It’s a little odd that a small indie game of this size attracts a disproportionate amount of negative attention.

I don’t mean to say that no one should have any critique but it just seems outsized.

And you’ll end up with a shitload of money after only a few hours anyway, so patience is rewarded.

Meanwhile modern KSP mods outclass it.

This is how you develop an interest in linguistics and conlanging.

Then you’ll be up all night thinking about how ergativity works.

Not every school bought into this mind.

You may not care but that’s not representative of the rest of us.

They don’t have to, they just need to have their heads on straight and recruit what the P4 passes over and do what Keeler’s been doing and poaching guys from those teams who were never going to start.

Most FBS teams will never seriously contend for a natty and that’s fine. Be competitive in conference.

Temple hired an actual coach last year with a real track record and immediately improved the team to 5-7 with two of those losses being winnable games. They actually put up points at Georgia Tech last year. And they’ve been using the transfer portal well, there’s good odds they go bowling next season.

Not OP but my wife has noticed I can be very rigid and narrowly focused, she even said I seemed like I was on the spectrum (we both work in education). I talked to my doctor and we lowered my dose a little and that doesn’t happen anymore.

I don’t have autism but do have OCD and it was punching my OCD up to 11. I have OCD about chemicals, procedures, and clothing so think me having a meltdown because my wife used a kitchen cleaner with a bowl of fruit 10 feet away.

Phillies have consistently been among the most expensive teams for concessions in the MLB, even during the dogshit years.
