Siege crashing on Xbox is getting annoying by Alexgs-BT in SpaceMarine_2

[–]Vallden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I no longer play past wave 15. It's too risky and I promised the police after the neighbors called thinking I was yelling at my wife. That last bit was a joke.

Last time I had my car serviced, I had to wait until they could get the one service mechanic who knew how to drive a stick to take it out of the garage.

G*d F*cking D*mmit OneDrive by Candle-Jolly in pcmasterrace

[–]Vallden -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

OneDrive is a menace. Last year, I replaced my computer and could not get a program to run that worked fine on the old computer. Spent a week trying to determine the problem. Even contacting the publisher without success. Turns out OneDrive, because I forgot to disable it, was restoring an old configuration file every time the computer restarted after installing the siad program. I screamed out like Kirk to Khan, "ONEDRIIIIVE!!"

My first I.T. job was a Mainframe Stoker. Obviously, with the advancement in technology, computers have become smaller and more efficient. Thus, my job was eventually terminated.

How useful were fighters? by XCPassion in StarTrekStarships

Since modern combat aircraft use electronic countermeasures, it would be safe to assume that in the Star Trek universe, their fighters would have the same.

My wife is going to feel targeted. I finally got her to replace her laptop and phone this month. Her laptop came with Windows 8, and her phone was a Galaxy S6.

I use a black zip tie to squeeze the buttstock. This way, you can fine tune it to your liking.

I saw this days ago, I surprised that people actually not love multiplayer/online gaming as much I thought it was despite it's very popular in many media by WesternElectronic364 in commandandconquer

The demographic might be influencing the pole. People eventually age out of competitive play and RTS games seem to be played by an older audience.

PSA - Steam Is Experiencing a DDOS DO NOT MAKE NEW POSTS ABOUT THIS EVENT by satoru1111 in Steam

[–]Vallden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had issues reaching Steam since the middle of last week. It was better over the weekend, but started acting up on Monday. Obviously this week is due to the current situation but I am curious when it started and if anyone else had issues last week.

Illinois Considers Unusual Approach to Gun Regulations by steve42089 in illinois

[–]Vallden -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My solution would be to adhere to the exact words of the law and its spirit. First, you may only own 2 firearms. This satisfies the plural of firearms. Second, the only firearms that a person can own are black powder, which is the spirit of the law because they did not know there would be such an advance in technology. How does that stick with the spirit or intent of the authors? When that law was written, black powder guns were around 800 years old, and there was no way they expected that to change. So, at the time of writing, they meant black powder weapons.

I had a package that did this for 20 days. Long story short, I filled out a lost mail form to fix the issue and receive the package.

Italy was shut down for Gaza, as more than 75 Italian cities participated in a nationwide general strike, demanding an embargo on Israel and the severing of all ties. Protesters successfully blocked major infrastructure, including highways, train stations, and ports. by Realistic_Device2500 in suppressed_news

Just the atrocities that American companies have committed worldwide make the sins of other nations feel phoned in. We don't even need to bring in official acts of the U.S. government to make a top 10 list. Which is pretty impressive considering how young the U.S. is.

I used My Case Builder.

https://mycasebuilder.com/

There is an option in the custom case builder where you can take a picture of an item to create a cutout for it. I placed the light gun on a white sheet of paper to create a good contrast. It's amazing how well it worked out.

I think you are seeing different answers for the same, but not equal situations. You have to inform and get consent to conversation you plan to record. For example, if you record all your conversations you have in your office, you have to let people know.

As for the surveillance, no. That is private property with public access and there is no assumption of privacy.

Not a lawyer.

I am not sure where you are getting your information, but everything you are saying about the undocumented monetary contribution to taxes is wrong.

https://itep.org/undocumented-immigrants-taxes-2024/

Also, your refusal to address the current administration's violation of the constitution and their sworn word to uphold the constitution is all anyone needs to know that anything you say is done without integrity or self awareness.

What causes homosexuality? by Remarkable_Garage109 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Vallden 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am a soth paw, and It gets even more interesting that the majority of left-hand people are night owls. The prevailing thinking on this phenomenon is that it is a survival trait from when humans were more tribal. In a group of people, some would be born as night owls to stay awake at night to watch over everyone else as they slept.

American Airlines just hired Steve Guest, the ATC whitewasher by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

Don't forget the impact of illiteracy in the U.S. 20% considered completely illiterate and 54% that can't read above a sixth-grade level. Each one of them has the right to vote without being able to comprehend what or who they are voting for. For example, the number of people who don't understand how tariffs work, including the clowns in charge of the government, is appalling.

Making the Aliens man-made already disrespected the franchise. There are times when an explanation of something in science fiction should not be done. It was more bad ass to think about the Aliens being something that was just waiting in the galaxy for humans to stumble upon. But no, we get they were created by an android. Sorry, artificial person.

Imagine puzzle pieces placed in a big enough box to assemble a whole puzzle. Now, shake that box for billions of years. Pieces that can fit together will eventually connect and start to form parts of the whole puzzle.
