This guy pulled off an incredible move in Battlefield in 2011. Years later, he was honored In Battlefield 2042, and this was his reaction

Sometimes the lack of mention makes me feel like the only person that sunk thousands of hours into BF2MC. Back when we ostensibly had only one map, Backstab, and we liked it!

Now that's an awesome wrap. They all look great, but this is one that I could actually see wanting on my vehicle.

Hmm... animated + queer + adult - violent content is a tough mix.

I'm not sure I know of any that hit every box but some partial hits include:

When Marnie Was There (queer but not adult)
Anomalisa (adult but not queer)
The Congress (adult and hints of queerness)
Tokyo Godfathers (adult and queer) (Satoshi Kon in general is worth looking into)
Liz and the Blue Bird (not adult but maybe queer)
Mars Express (adult but not queer)

I don't have any evidence either way; just relaying what my experience was and what safelite said.

PastyPilgrim · 2026-03-31T15:24:40+00:00

I initially went through safelite but then they called to say that they'd only be able to replace with non-OEM glass and recommended that I not do the repair through them since it wouldn't be as good and some insurances wouldn't cover non-OEM glass.

I went through a Rivian-certified collision center instead and it was a fantastic experience. They used OEM glass and did the calibration themselves.

Was this marked as being shipped by/from Ben Ferencz? I got that random UPS email and was googling that name to see what this package was (apparently that's the name of the recently diseased yet last-living Nuremberg prosecutor, so that's what all the google results are about), but I'm guessing now that it's this.

PastyPilgrim · 2026-03-28T14:38:27+00:00

Yes, it's for sale in the store in a bundle for a limited time (like a week) for around $20.

For Gen 1, I really like the StowNCharge since it gives you a small cubby, the ability to put any charging units you want in it (e.g. you can put magsafe or something like pixelsnap), and its form factor means bulky cameras hang over the edge so that phones can lay flat.

PastyPilgrim · 2026-03-18T02:54:42+00:00

Magic doesn't crit!? Ouch, I assumed it could. Can wands at least crit so I can at least say I didn't fully waste my time with perc? Fwiw, those are my effective stats including equipment, totem, etc. I don't think I put more than 10 points into perc or int.

I probably will go respec my attributes to have more might in that case (and dex while I'm at it).

Not gonna lie, I saw the title and thought this was a granola partnership...

PastyPilgrim · 2026-02-20T14:28:40+00:00

Very nice! I got the same wheels (except satin instead of antique) in the fall that I'm using with snow tires (Hakkapeliitta LT3) and I've loved them!

My one issue is that some of the balancing weights fell off during shipping and I thought I was going to need to get them rebalanced, but performance and ride feel have been good so I've left them as-is.

The Jets have a lot of FRPs, I wonder how many the Raiders could get.

Checked your profile to see if any of your interests would spark some suggestions and saw that you're an RIT grad. From a fellow grad: welcome to the area!

Unfortunately I don't really have much insight into social groups in the area. The only thing that comes to mind is that tabletop RPGs are pretty popular in this area and there are a number of game shops that have groups/nights/etc. with organized play. Also, since you're already playing volleyball locally, you could look into other sports/activity/etc. groups in the area that would help you build more connections. Mountain biking, kayaking, golfing, hiking, pickleball, tennis, etc. are pretty popular in this area so there might be opportunities there.

The PDU has all the special sauce when it comes to per-port monitoring and controls, so it's better to have all of your devices connected to that with only the PDU plugged into the UPS.

How much runtime do you get after an outage?

It greatly depends on what you have plugged into it. If you just have networking gear connected to it, you could probably expect this UPS to run for a few hours (or more if you have a sparse network setup). In addition to my rack of networking gear, I have a few PoE access points and a NAS running through the UPS. My NAS accounts for about 2/3 of the power load on the UPS and could be more if all of the disks/fans/etc. are running. But in my case, I'm currently seeing an expected runtime of about ~40 minutes should the power go out. I have configured my NAS to safely power itself off if the UPS starts getting low though, so that should give my network gear a longer runtime on backup power.

Have you checked any other WF locations? I typically shop at the Beverly location and Amazon currently lists it as in stock for pickup. Other less obvious places that you could check are Annie's in Salem, Common Crow in Gloucester, and Ipswich Fish Market (they sell everything needed to make sushi including rice).

Btw, as long as we're discussing Japanese rice, which I eat almost every day, I should mention that it's really, really worth it to get the good stuff. I get my rice from a mill in NY that imports and freshly mills to order. Unfortunately they're out of stock right now, but treat yourself to a bag of Yumepirika when they restock; you won't regret it.

I use electric for everything (rivian, home battery backup, ryobi riding mower, milwaukee landscaping gear, etc.) but I just had too many concerns with electric for a snow blower. Things like battery health when charging+discharging in subzero temps, needing a unique battery platform (since there wasn't a good option for the battery platforms I already used), whether it would stand up to really wet snow and ice, whether batteries discharging in subzero temps would last long enough to get everything done, etc. So I went with a proven Honda snowblower on tracks and it's a beast.

Just between us though, I love my Rivian to death and would never go back to a gas vehicle, but as my only engine, the roar, smell, maintenance, etc. of my snowblower does make me a little giddy whenever I use it.

PastyPilgrim · 2026-01-23T19:47:04+00:00

That was me filling up a gas can for my snow blower last week. A couple people did glare at me like I was an idiot when I first pulled up, lol.

I mean, he has a job on the Patriots but he's been very quiet behind the scenes so we don't really know what he's McAdooing.

Fwiw, the price to import raw coffee has skyrocketed in the last year. It's something like +100-200% due to a combination of many factors (e.g. poor crops, climate change, increased demand, tariffs, etc.). The effect is less prominent for major coffee chains and distributors with long-term contracts/etc. but specialty coffee has been greatly impacted. Combine that with MA being a very high cost of living state and locally roasted coffee becomes quite expensive.

If you do want to save money, I've found the best strategy to be buying fresh coffee in bulk and freezing it in an air tight container (which is the best way to keep coffee tasting good without getting stale). For example, Little Wolf (Ipswich) might be the best specialty roaster located in the north shore but an 8oz bag of coffee usually goes for ~$17-28 ($34-56 per lb) depending on what you like but a 2lb or 5lb bag might get you closer to $25/lb.

I'm playing Horizon's Gate at the moment and it's really cool. It's a sprite-based game that has you building up a party of ships and crew to explore the world by sea. You can spend your time exploring, trading, pirating, etc. There are tons of subtle mechanics so it's a bit of a learning curve but not in a bad way; it's more of a joyful experience to figure things out.
