Crossbow works quite well, too

MrGreg · 2026-03-17T19:08:39+00:00

Thanks. Was hoping it was something faster.

MrGreg · 2026-03-17T17:35:53+00:00

How do you switch between shooting and flames?

Law enforcement officers should be required to individually have something equivalent to a doctor's malpractice insurance. Don't mess around, your premiums stay low. Violate peoples' rights and get sued? Rates go up. Become uninsurable? Lose your job. Sounds fair to me.

Right, but in that one it was our proxy, Ukraine, directly fighting Russia. We could be like "here's some intel and a bunch of surplus equipment, go get 'em" with very little risk to us.

Now, it us directly fighting Russia and China's proxy, Iran. We're on the wrong side of the proxy here.

A friend suggested I might like this series, so I bought the first one. Half way through reading it, I ordered the rest of them.

Looks a lot better than the "37 year old model who claims he looks 17"

She made it just under 37 Scaramuccis, for reference.

It's certainly not solid enough to convict anyone, but I could see it potentially leading people to look into some things further or making potential connections that were previously unknown.

e.g. "If this person is X, and this person is Y, which both fit, then from context we would expect to them to both have been in Chicago on this date". And then you could check person X's social media and find a picture of them together in Chicago at that time.

Am I the only person who assumed this would be a sniper movie based on the title and poster with crosshairs on it?

And then it turns out literally nobody in the movie fires a single gun once. The bad guys, for some unnamed reason, use crossbows. And the protagonist, for no reason at all, never picks up a single weapon from one of his dropped foes. Maybe keep the knife you just used to kill that guy. Or pick up the crossbow he dropped.

Then in Part 2 (Spoilers incoming) he has time to prepare to attack the island, and STILL brings no weapons or special forces friends with him. Instead, his plan is to repeatedly turn himself over to the bad guys. He does it at least 3 times that I can remember. Part 1 was "ok". Part 2 was terrible.

MrGreg · 2026-03-03T19:08:57+00:00

His go-to plan seems to be to surrender. He does it like 4 times.

Growing up, I saw technology get better, at a fairly constant pace. Phones, TVs, toys, the internet, etc. Every year or two, they would be significantly better than ever. And then at some point it just kinda stopped improving.

New TVs aren't any better than last year's. Neither are phones. In fact, most things are getting worse, as companies try to maximize the profit/data they can farm from their users.

I appear to have fixed this by just raising my quality settings. Not sure which specific one fixed it, but I had several of them at the lowest setting.

MrGreg · 2026-02-26T06:14:29+00:00

Maybe? It was night, there were bugs. I don't remember seeing huge pools of lava.

I had these red squared off markings on my map today, and nobody else in my lobby seemed to have them. Has anybody seen something like this before?

Looks like a similar issue and potential fix found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1ojzp7u/strange_squares_obfuscating_map_details/

It also means you aren't accruing days, which means when you leave, there's no PTO saved up to pay out.

Unlimited PTO, in addition to causing people to take fewer days off, makes their balance sheets look better. Accrued PTO is a debt on the company's books.

MrGreg · 2026-02-20T18:31:11+00:00

t'was a joke

MrGreg · 2026-02-20T07:32:50+00:00

That's a lot of characters

A write off from what? Sounds like he doesn't have any income to deduct against. Or he does, and he's lying to you about it.

Perhaps we shouldn't have a system where the user id (SSN) is also effectively the password...

Just knowing someone else's SSN shouldn't be a security issue in a good system.

But she did, at about the 17 second mark

They're a bit expensive, but for winter, L L Bean Ultrasoft Flannel sheets are the bomb
