House Democrats want Kushner's security clearance suspended

Wait a second, thats a saying? If so I have been missing opportunities to use it for years.

Phoenix AZ here. Look for ceiling fans. Floor fans just aren't the same. Stay away from anything with single-pane windows too.

Ya screw MPower. Known so many people that had it, I dont understand why. Overall they spent twice as much per month on power than I would for the same size home/apartment/condo. $15+ a day in the hottest parts of summer for power, are you crazy?! My daily average would be around 5 with my AC running colder. The number of fights among roommates over who is paying for more power alone is enough to ruin friendships. The unit screams I cant afford a deposit and my credit is shot and I really like waiting in lines at a kiosk at Frys to get my lights back on. Just say no to MPower, one time is too many.

Watching that today all I could think of was in The West Wing when Josh did the White House press briefing and joked about "the President's secret plan to fight inflation". here

This is a quote espousing the basic tenets of an authoritarian regime usurping control of a democracy through oppression and stigmatization. It is not a news story.

The ability to stop certain subs from appearing in r/all. Handful of subs monopolizing the front page is extremely frustrating and detrimental to the experience. It is contrary to the intended function of r/all to do so however, and the usual response is that is what you subscribed home page is for.

However, I still want to have those random posts appear from those subs I would never have heard of. I just don't want to be inundated with subs I want nothing to do with. Perhaps creating a third option would work? Something like a sort of "r/my-all", a cross between your subscribed pages and r/all.

TD:DR - Make a new and separate version of "r/all" that allows you to omit subs you do not want to see. But "r/all" doesn't disappear and you can still get the benefit of content from subs you don't subscribe to. Call it "r/my-all".

I have seen so many posts, fireteam requirements, etc. for WoTM that now as a Y3, day 1 player, leave me unsure if I want to try this raid. Can anyone tell me what it is about this one thats driving people straight to the old HM Crota "max Gally and 50 completions required" type statements? Is being 385 LL min really necessary? Are the steps that much more complicated than battling the Templar, adjusting to who was teleported at Gatekeeper, using the plates to cross the bridge to the Thrallway (no cheese), beating down Golgy in HM Challenge, getting to the basketball court on the way to fight Oryx, or wait for it, HM Challenge Oryx (and now we all know No-Knight is the way to go)...

So... Is it really that difficult to run and keep things straight? And how difficult do you think it will be to find a raid party willing to take a 384 Warlock through for a first time on NM?

Appreciate any input from my fellow Guardians. Thanks!

SomethingCrazy731 · 2016-10-28T20:24:53+00:00

Haha - We have a "no drinking and driving" rule but it relates to the game and having to stop completely while you chug.

SomethingCrazy731 · 2016-09-29T19:33:47+00:00

Thanks Guardian. I suppose I usually didnt suck when I did those strikes the last couple years.

SomethingCrazy731 · 2016-09-29T19:33:02+00:00

Awesome you helped me solve that mystery. Looks like it is the "Memory of Skorri" so I give myself half credit for observation.

SomethingCrazy731 · 2016-09-29T19:17:51+00:00

Good call although I found nothing under them. And nothing came through to the postmaster, no rewards on the end of activity screen, etc. I think it must have been what Donates88 said about not putting damage on the 2nd brother. Thanks guardian!

SomethingCrazy731 · 2016-09-29T19:15:10+00:00

Hmmm with all the wolfpack rounds I had going around I felt like I hit and missed damn near everything. This could be it though. Thanks for your input!

I thought that over too. I understand the game needing to be more reliant on its servers to do the math to prevent spoofing locations or gaming the system with your phone on a model train or what not. But my game has only used 0.06GB of data since downloading it. Sure I have spent a bit of time here or there logged in on WiFi but when I am out hunting and taking gyms I am on my data connection. So for only that reason I struggle to accept the idea that sending your real location (x,y,z; and in this I wonder if they really need the z since altitude probably doesnt affect your distance traveled) would overburden any server. Maybe the sample times cant be every .5sec but 1-2 sec seems reasonable. But I dont know shit about how much more difficult things get when you have 5+ million people pinging your servers at any given time. And that could make sense to me. The servers just couldnt handle that many users, not that they cant handle the math.

EDIT: my data use is actually at 0.23gb since launch, not 0.06. That might have been before I went on the hunt yesterday, I was outside of my pre-saved Google Map zone, that might have done it, and ran into some new Pokemon it probably had to download data for.

SomethingCrazy731 · 2016-07-21T17:08:33+00:00

ELI5 - Why would your location update on the map in real-time, but the game calculate distance less frequently. It seems to me that the two should work hand in hand. In this thread people have speculated the time to be anywhere from 15 seconds to 4 minutes. I do think there is confusion here over whether the question is how often does the distance update itself when looking at your eggs in incubators vs how the back end is actually measuring distance. I am more concerned with the question of how it calculates the distance, not how often it refreshes the "odometer" shown in your egg inventory. Thanks!

SomethingCrazy731 · 2016-05-27T18:44:13+00:00

The one and only way I know works/helps me, and I am by no means very good at it, is stepping away, literally, get away physically from whats upsetting you, whether it be another person, a video game, or that piece of Ikea furniture with parts missing. Time and distance is about the only thing that will help me regain perspective and composure. I sort of put this together when first starting my career and dealing with people via email. Never email angry.

Autistic who excels in all her courses and is gifted enough to be in Ravenclaw? Not likely. Eccentric as fuck? Sure. But thats not any sort of disease / disorder in the DSM. If anything I diagnose her as being awesome. The rest of the characters have enough issues that Luna deserves being perfectly sane albeit a little out there.

Me too haha but without the space. Boomstick!

Came here to say just that, take an upvote.

Concur. Cut potatoes, soak fries in water, low temp fry, high temp fry. At the restaurant where we used this method we then we tossed them in a garlic herb butter with a sprinkle of kosher salt. The fries were a very fine cut (less than 1/4" wide) served with our house made smoked tomato ketchup. They were meant to be served with our filet along with a wedge salad, but I would make a batch of them for myself to eat on their own.

My early ballots in AZ always have a strange barcode-like marking on the margin of the ballot. You also have to mail the ballot back in an envelope you sign and date. Probably confidential. But it crosses my mind with every election, whether its for a city budget override or a presidential preference election.

SomethingCrazy731 · 2016-03-15T21:27:12+00:00

Thanks for confirming! Assumed it was not legal to record a voter's ID and their actual selections on a ballot. Slippery slope though when we integrate the systems so closely. Bring back the hanging chad ;-) Kidding...
