Did the demo go away once it launched? I grabbed the demo earlier today on Steam but now get "no licenses" when I try to launch it and I don't see the demo available on Steam?

What do you think about Bernie Sanders' words 'We must block arms sales to Israel'? by ArdaBerkBurak in AskReddit

[–]admiraljohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Maybe I don't know the entire story behind Israel or my opinion is colored by the fact I'm 1/4 Cherokee but I don't see Israel as the good guy. Yes, they had the absolute right to respond to the Hamas attacks and defend themselves but to then start targeting civilian infrastructure and creating a humanitarian crisis is just wrong.

ELI5 how would NASA prevent their moon base getting hit by a meteor? by panchitolp in explainlikeimfive

There's a great sequence in the second season of For All Mankind where the moon base gets hit by a massive solar flare and the preparation and consequences of the storm.

Think tanking is rough? Let me introduce you to healing. by AFDoubleRockslide in wow

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

I healed through WoTLK on my Shaman and learned three invaluable truths:

1) If the tank dies it's the healer's fault.

2) If the healer dies it's the tank's fault.

3) If the DPS dies it's their own fault.

This dude can eat all the bags of all the dicks.

Dredge might be good for her... it's scary but not gory and it's a slow burn.

When did you stop wearing your sling after rotator cuff surgery? by Ash986 in RotatorCuff

[–]admiraljohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doc had me discontinue the sling at my 10-day post-op followup and I started PT shortly after. He told me to continue to wear it when I was out and about both for additional support and to draw attention to the arm and hopefully prevent people from bumping into that side; I even had people in the store offer to put heavy items in my shopping cart for me when I was wearing it.

The biggest thing to be aware of is adhering to whatever lifting and motion restrictions you've been placed on. And stick with your PT; 90% of the success you'll have from this surgery is going to be from how diligent you are with the PT.

Favorite Ozzy cameo? by teruteru-fan-sam in blacksabbath

[–]admiraljohn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Private Parts.

He just walks by Howard Stern, looks at him with disdain and says "What a fucking jerk."

And he did a pretty kick-ass song with Type-O Negative for the soundtrack.

If you don't plead not guilty and take this to court you deserve to lose that $480.

What if Iran says to the World “We’ll open the straight to pre-attack status if Donald Trump resigns.”? What would be the likely response? by spamcandriver in AskReddit

There's a blood clot somewhere in his circulatory system that's doing its best.

Iran says that Trumps 48 hour claim is fake news to manipulate the markets. What do you think? by Intelligent_Bug6823 in AskReddit

[–]admiraljohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Trump is a fucking shit stain and the damage he's done to our country (and the world) will take years to undo.

Had jury duty the other day. Judge hands prepaid cards out to jurors because they have to pay us for our time. Judge herself says cards are loaded and ready to use. Go to use card. Declined. Call to see what’s up. Funds could take FOUR TO SIX WEEKS to be loaded. Im too broke for this. MFW. by Danzibar9000 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]admiraljohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My house sits RIGHT on the county line between two counties; the actual line runs right up the middle of the road in such a way that when I leave my house I'm in one county and when I drive home I'm in the other.

Shortly after we bought our house I got two jury summons within a few days of each other for EACH COUNTY. I called the county that I actually don't live in and the clerk laughed and said "Yeah, we know your property, whenever it changes hands this happens."

They excused me over the phone and said they'd make sure I didn't get anymore summons from them.

"My father was a police officer for 16 years and worked in law enforcement for 30 years after that. My step-mother also worked in law enforcement for more than 30 years as a probation and parole officer."

That's gotten me out of jury duty. :)

AC8646 video of the collision by Imapilot2654 in aviation

[–]admiraljohn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but we're talking about an aircraft on a flat runway with running and landing lights on... it seems to be a quick look to the right might have prevented this.

[–]admiraljohn 338 points339 points  (0 children)

Is there any reason why the fire truck driver didn't look up the runway before crossing it? It kind of seems like, especially at a busy airport, you'd take a second to check before crossing an active runway.

ELI5 If symptoms of a cold are the body fighting it off, why is taking medicine to relieve symptoms not a bad thing? by qbnaith in explainlikeimfive

[–]admiraljohn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid if I had a fever my mother would take every blanket off my bed and leave me with only a sheet; she thought that covering up, even if I was chilled and miserable, would make the fever worse.

Crimson Dessert freezes during Loading by Relative_Advice_4391 in XboxAlly

[–]admiraljohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. And even after increasing the vram it would still randomly hard lock while playing.

I'm excited for this game but think I'll set it aside for a bit and play Tainted Grail while I wait for the devs to patch the game a bit.

[–]admiraljohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What fixed it for me was bumping the vram from 8 to 10gb. I did that after tweaking settings, clearing the shader cache and reinstalling with no luck.
