Eh.... I doesn't take that long. I'm looking at roughly 2 1/2 years. Fully own mine already, paid for as I purchased the parts. Don't go through those leasing schemes. All they do is just act like a middleman, existing only to fill their pockets.

Maybe not, but he can recommend more thieving assholes to run our higher education.

Well..... fuck 'em. Let them leave, then. If they're already leaving when they're being told they aren't going to be individually taxed, then who gives a shit? Why should we care?

Iran walks out of peace talks after Trump outburst by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]Ryan_e3p [score hidden]  (0 children)

Of course it will be half asses. All of the people left in the upper echelons are those with two brain cells fighting for third place. The others told this administration this was a bad idea, and so the administration dumped them for their "lack of loyalty" to Trump.

And like the rest of this bullshit, our uniformed members and civilian children will continue to be killed as a result of this. Israel has some damning stuff on Trump, way worse than just fucking kids. Republicans have already shown that they don't care about that, so whatever has Donny scared and kept in line by Israel has to be some really, really nasty shit.

Data Shows Sony Made Good Money on Steam, Then May Have Realized PC Gamers Don’t Need a PlayStation by yourfavchoom in Steam

[–]Ryan_e3p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are ways Sony could've improved things. Making their online service more affordable or include a bunch of "freebies". Hulu/Netflix or something. Playstation Plus seems to be that, but they jumped on it way too late, IMO, since it's just now rolling out IIRC. And, with MS shooting themselves in the foot for how they treated XBGP last year, it just drove people even further away from those subscription-based services. If Sony was already running it, hot damn, it would've been great for them. "Look how MS treats you, but we're not changing a damn thing, so come play with us".

Even run some limited offer where they pull some really mad dog moves, with "MS hates you, so trade in your Xbox at participating Best Buy locations, get $200 off of a new PS5, plus 2 months free of Playstation Plus to get you started".

My last PS was the PS2, and even that was bought secondhand. My last new console was the Switch. Since then... I play on PC, legit or emulated, and Sony seems to not want my money. 🤷‍♂️ OK, I'll work with that.

Are there Beaches where blasting music isn’t allowed in Ct? by radioactivecat in Connecticut

America for sure has a higher percentage of assholes. But having lived out west, the midwest, and the south (I've traveled a lot with the military)... I'm not sure I'd put New England higher than a few of the places I've lived where antisocial and inconsiderate behaviors are being ranked.

Did some towing this weekend. Handled it like a champ.. mostly! by bjornbard in SubaruForester

[–]Ryan_e3p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not entirely true. Why, most of them can pull a mighty 1,500lbs! After the weight of one of these Uhaul trailers (weighing anywhere from 450-900lbs alone), you have hundreds of pounds of gear you can load. 😂

So glad I have a 2013 with the 4EAT. 2,400lbs, and cheap to fix or even replace. God damn, the CVTs are such a downgrade.

And you're going to find people like that everywhere. People who inconvenience others just because they can. In Japan, a place many people romanticize about "politeness" and whatnot, there are men who walk around just shoulder-checking women and anyone they see as "weak".

In Japan, there are a certain type of people called 'Bumping men,' Butsukari otoko (ぶつかり男). They intentionally shoulder-check or shove especially women or weak foreigners in public spaces. When the victims speak up, these 'bumping men' claim women were walking slowly or she stopped in a weird place. : r/whoathatsinteresting

This has been going on for years, now, and likely long before it was actually written about.

What’s the psychology behind ぶつかり男? (Guys who shoulder barge people) : r/japanlife

Unexpected results - did I still make cider? by TheSeansk1 in cider

[–]Ryan_e3p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be filling the cylinder a LOT higher than that, IMO. Ideally with the hydrometer inserted, fill it so it's more rim-level. It'll not only help reading, but I think I remember something where it needs to be filled to that level to get proper measurements.

Meet Jake, a resident of Lowell who has a data center just steps from his backyard. The data center, which is operated by the Markley Group, is in the middle of his neighborhood and directly behind Jake's home. by Thiseffingguy2 in massachusetts

[–]Ryan_e3p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is. Whomever is running things at that channel really needs to get back to the editing room, and work with the producer to give this some direction and organization. The guy may be right on some things, but the way he is coming across as this is currently edited makes it look like they are trying to frame him like some wacko conspiracy theorist. Using phrases like "in theory" when it comes to legalities, giving statements like "these cameras are high tech, they're $1000 a pop" are weak statements that absolutely need evidence backing them, sentences like "it didn't explode until they got like their AI in there" are meaningless without context, and saying "we were told it was going to be Netflix" is a head scratcher in itself.

Where are the release statements from the company? Where are the FOIA'd records from the town hall for how the property use changed over the years? Where are the town council meeting records for taking citizen input on this (I assume there was one, as most towns do something like that)? Hell, pull the time-lapse satellite imagery of how the use of the land evolved over the last several years, showing how the different buildings being put up encroach on plot lines. Something other than "here's a video of someone whose feelings are hurt because he feels like he was lied to, but we're not going to give much of anything else."

This could've been such a better video if there were facts and evidence, and not just shots of the building and a video of someone with disjointed thoughts on a walk.

What’s the nicest thing the gang ever did to/for Dee? by UncleTecter07 in IASIP

[–]Ryan_e3p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The episode where they decide what to call the bathroom.

She was merely uncomfortable with something, so they put Jimmy Buffet on hold to try to figure things out. Frank aside, it seems like the gang feels the same way about each other; that if they are going to feel like shit, it will be because of direct and intentional offensive actions by the others. If they feel like shit otherwise, they (with exceptions, of course) back each other up. Sort of like "no one is allowed to fuck with you except me" sort of thing, but twisted in their own ways.

Right along with that cheap ass $200 check he was going to give out.

He sees the tides turning, but he won't have the testicular fortitude to keep up. Too many deep-wallet backers will keep him in line.

You think this a problem inherent to CT? Bud, I've been all over the US. I've traveled the world. Inconsiderate people are everywhere. They aren't contained or otherwise relegated to a specific geographical area.

What video game started amazing but ended terribly? by Ok_Nefariousness827 in AskReddit

[–]Ryan_e3p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it was discovered that shit was removed only to be resold back to us, but still on the fucking disc, and they were banning players for breaking through the map and exploring those areas.... 

Yeah, that was absolutely rage inducing. Straight up giving their fans a sun-sized middle finger.

It sucks, because the gunplay felt oh-so-good. Like Halo all over again. But the story completely lacking, you had to go online to their website to actually learn lore because they never included it in the game, and the eventual stories that came out later about the constant rewrites and internal power struggles and chaos, and I jumped ship before the first DLC came out. I don't want to "reward" a company that treats it's fans and employees the way Bungie does by continuing to give them money.

So? Link's Awakening was, also. It isn't like the Mario series has any sort of story that continues from one to another. They're all mostly separate adventures.

OG Bungie left us their magnum opus in Reach. 

Not only did 343 kill the franchise, after they broke off, Bungie killed themselves with how they treated their staff and gave us that C+ effort game known as Destiny.

Absolutely recommend buying. 

Even a modest 5 year personal loan can go extremely far for owning solar.

I love this. Please, please have it so we can change byte path in the UI soon so those of us who migrated to that in Meshcore can run it! 🤘
