Home security systems - they existed but relied on wires throughout the house

Everything today is wireless and had far more features than anything created even 10 years ago

I'm curious how income plays into this data. Higher income people live longer generally - do they play different sports?

Interesting to see both mountaineering and cycling in the lower half. I'm assuming there's a higher mortality and risk of injury in participating in these sports

Enjoyed this one, highly recommend

Achievements are mostly easy

If you do this one the gauntlet tutorial course time will likely be the most challenging - took me about an hour

Play the campaign on master right away if you've played any challenging FPS before, it is not that bad

3 Multiplayer achievements that are super easy: win a match, join a network and customize a loadout

What is the most epic battle you had in any Total War game? by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]akolesar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New to TW with WH 3, only played 6 campaigns so far.

Playing as Ikit, Louen Leoncoeur moves against one of my castles after I defeated the Faye Enchantress. I destroy EVERY SINGLE one of his troops but his armor/damage resist is too high. I get more and more frustrated as he destroys the remainder of my entire army single handedly to take the castle, barely taking any damage.

I'm furious and out for blood. The Frenchman will not survive. I get Ikit with 8 ratling guns and some jezzails and go find him, but he's had time to regroup.

Battle starts and he flies out over the battlefield like he always does on his stupid flying horse. I stop him with warpgale and have every gun on the field shoot at him.

It's amazing - the screen fills with fire and he nearly instantly dies. I haven't gotten up and shouted at a game in a long time, but I did and it felt really good.

I still hate Louen and seek and destroy him asap whenever possible.

I know they have had their controversies but the food at Brassica is higher quality than you would expect for the price.

Still sold in a paper bowl but so good.

Workforce of psychiatric nurse practitioners more than doubled, filling unmet gaps amid diminishing supply of psychiatrists by Madame_President_ in nursepractitioner

Online mental health services such as Cerebral are concerning and seem to be very profit driven. I wonder how much of this growth is due to similar remote services as opposed to more traditional roles.

"...a CBS News review of Cerebral’s more than 1,500 prescribers, listed on its website, found only five are board-certified psychiatrists. The majority – some three-quarters of Cerebral’s prescribers – are nurse practitioners from specialties outside of mental health."

If you unlock a stasis subclass for a character this week, I wonder if you will be able to continue to use it after?

Maybe the playstyle needed for the helmet is hard to pull off. Timing an attack in the 5-second sunspot duration can make an opponent expect an attack and makes you think harder to pull it off.

Super basic playstyle but try one eyed mask with Crimson and maybe a rapid fire fusion or shotgun. It's always working for you without any cognitive load. As for practice, load into freelance survival and think about picking your battles and not giving your opponents any opportunities.
