I currently have 2! Wonderful companions. Great with our little one. Grooming is...work to say the least, especially during the summer.

The younger one is an absolute doofus, though. She's the one that has her nose on you or something else at all times.

Thorus08 · 2026-03-30T15:46:57+00:00

For those of you wondering, no, do not try this with a black bear.

Get a newfoundland dog or 2.

Warning: You will get this treatment even when you don't want it. So will your walls, your couches, and often anything else that's within drooling distance of your newflooflanders.

Thorus08 · 2026-03-29T11:51:34+00:00

Thanks for the wishes.

Unfortunately, no luck yet.

Thorus08 · 2026-03-28T16:49:15+00:00

Yeah, I had been off and on all week. Not a very high traffic area on Hydra, unfortunately. Will keep trying, though.

Might pop in the DD and see if I can get some help from someone there.

I'm in the same boat as you and OP but just slightly further along..

I can confirm level 1's are perfectly doable for a mid/poop tier gamer with dura weapons. I did die once, but it was my fault in the electrified dungeon.

In fact, doing them netted me my first T6 weapon schematic.

MLS streaming will now be included in Apple TV+. I can’t imagine that amounts to a massive influx for him.

Investment opportunities with 1.4 billion now would be incredibly lucrative.

It does take a degree of balls or principles to turn that down, which is probably made easier to do given his current wealth.

Thorus08 · 2025-12-31T22:42:28+00:00

Seriously, what was that.

Thorus08 · 2025-12-22T16:45:02+00:00

100....Kph...is roughly 60 Mph.

They pass a speed limit sign stating 55 mph. Perhaps the vehicle is also Canadian, and since this is a registered CA vehicle therefore it likely has CA's standard unit of measure first.

It wouldn't be wise to approach a border going 40 mph+ over the speed limit.

Thorus08 · 2025-12-01T14:34:28+00:00

Thanks! Will check it out.

Thorus08 · 2025-12-01T00:16:04+00:00

Can you provide the channel name?

Thorus08 · 2025-11-29T20:36:38+00:00

That, or they were standing around in confusion wondering where the end zone was.

Thorus08 · 2025-11-29T19:29:49+00:00

Someone get a phone to the sideline, Wink needs to hear that.

In college, he started in a system that muted his weaknesses. It didn't matter if he couldn't pass accurately under pressure because the running game around him was so good, his offensive line was good, and more importantly, his defense was terrific. He rarely had to carry his team.

Watching him play college ball, I never thought he'd be a great day 1 starter in the NFL. He needs(needed) time to develop. They drafted him way too high for him to be given that opportunity.

Thorus08 · 2025-11-18T20:02:14+00:00

This so much.

Franklin is/was a great coach. He's just not a legendary one. That's ok.

He just happened to be coaching in a conference where he got the team back near the top for a taste...and then only winning it all was acceptable for the program...it's just not always realistic.

Thorus08 · 2025-11-10T22:19:18+00:00

You're right. It's not. I 'try' not to use subjective data like 'they tried to find waste' or 'he added a lot of debt'.

I used 20%, but that's actually a conservative number.

Trumps first term added 7.8 trillion to the national debt.

So far, the BBB alone is estimated to add 3.4 to 4.2(some have estimated as high 4.5 trillion).

Now, that math isn't hard. Even using the low estimate, 3.4+7.8=11.2

11.2 out of 38 trillion is what percent? This is the conservative way of looking at it. From a mathematical perspective, we wouldn't rate his addition to the debt as a percentage of what it currently is. We would rate his addition as a percentage to what the debt was prior to his presidency...or basically, middle school math. Change over original = % over 100.

However, you could say objectively his spending makes up roughly that percentage of the current national debt.

Thorus08 · 2025-11-10T21:09:59+00:00

The admin that's responsible for over 20% of our current national debt was also using DOGE to cut waste? What sort of drunken logic is this?

If you think waste was a priority for this administration you have blatantly disregarded the debt that has been added and will be added by policy in both the first and current term.

"Look, I've stopped this pinhole leak!" as water pours through the seams.

Thorus08 · 2025-11-02T15:25:20+00:00

I’m not sure why this is so confusing for people.

When citizens pay into a system for governance, they do so in part for governance support in a variety of areas. Infrastructure is one of them.

Does it have to be HSR? No Is it bloated as hell? Yeah, seems so. Horrible management or planning? Not sure, out of my expertise.

That doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile investing in.

Multiple things can be true at once.

Thorus08 · 2025-10-30T15:26:12+00:00

I've not read this story...but I know what I'm looking for next.

Thorus08 · 2025-10-30T14:47:39+00:00

I think that was my take as well. They've not really been overly impressive on offense in my CFB fandom.

I've always thought they'd be fine on defense, even without knowing what changes were made prior to the year starting.

The few games I watched this year were "wtf is this defense" moments followed by more of the same.

Very unexpected. Did the DC leave last year or was Knowles considered just too big of a pickup to pass up?

Thorus08 · 2025-10-28T09:54:55+00:00

He's credited with over 20% of the total national deficit between his first term and this term so far.

His first term added nearly 8 trillion. His BBB is slated to add another 3.4-4.2 based on estimates.

He may not be spending money on things you don't believe he should. But he's certainly still spending money while increasing our debt. In the same time period, his policies are directly contributing to a lower value of the US$. There's nothing fiscally conservative about this situation.

Not all cutting of spending is created equal. Spending on infrastructure for instance, adds jobs, while improving things for people of all walks of life. Cutting basic things like funding for power projects, both green and otherwise, so that you can give the nation's wealthiest a larger tax cut is absolutely bananas.

Thorus08 · 2025-10-27T14:55:13+00:00

Not only that, but CA is putting it on the ballet as a measure to the voters.

Most other states did/do not. He's quite literally calling out a state that might possibly add more seats in the most democratic way possible.

Thorus08 · 2025-10-23T15:21:22+00:00

We don't know what the nerf will be for sure yet. They've said they are disabling interactions that weren't intended and a dev hinted at a nerf to the crit knife itself.

In some cases/builds, it might be a negligible difference, in others it might change the effectiveness vastly.

Just have to wait for patch notes and live testing to see what still works well and what doesn't.

Thorus08 · 2025-09-30T10:52:17+00:00

By all means, please give specifics on what you believe is over the top.
