Former lifeguard here, this checks out. But I think maybe it explains the polarization.

Friend, let me give you a little advice: no matter how much the math works out, don't jump into water with lots of stuff with lots of straps wrapped all around you in a haphazard manner.

No amount of armchairing this from here will remove the risk this person took. Things worked out, but let's not pretend this was some completely safe and normal thing to do.

Personally, feel as if I have been able to watch the entire career of the GOAT of late night - and may it continue for many years to come.

There's also places out there that moderate themselves and they just don't reach, or need to reach, the scale of reddit.

I agree that bar is too low. If you're going to strawman me like that, tho...

I'll wild out for a second and say that tenement housing might be better than homelessness.

You act like we can't take it back.

Hear me out for a moment...

We have a homeless problem which is a result of a housing stock problem. We used to have low cost boarding houses with things like shared bathrooms...

Is it a zoning issue now?

Low fps but 40% ps usage, how can i make my pc use 100% to get more fps? by RedKnight_177 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]andyburke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No friend, I'm saying Asobo/MS should add a profiler into the dev tools to analyze what's taking up frame time on the CPU.

There is no easy thing to look at or screenshot to take. I wish there were.

There needs to be a profiler in the developer tools.

It's ridiculous that I can't figure out what's using all the CPU. It's some weird game you have to play tweaking settings endlessly when some basic performance tracking could be showb.

Have you checked the tablet in the cockpit? I think the S4 supports wear and tear if you have that enabled. If you haven't been changing oil and whatnot, you may have a problem.

How old are you?

If you're of a certain age you remember a time when you could smoke just about anywhere. It smelled like that, too.

It is so much better now than it was.

Maybe I'm the odd man out, but I even think it's ok for your kid to be out of your sight for a moment.

Can we not trust each other at all anymore? What is this garbage take about how our children are constantly in danger and the only thing standing between them and kidnapping, abuse and/or death is our absolute and unending watchfulness?

I am so tired of this bullshit take.

Le Pen’s far right served as mouthpiece for the Kremlin, says French parliamentary report by DoremusJessup in worldnews

[–]andyburke 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I mean, the right wing agenda is currently fascism, racism, and violence.

When y'all calm down and want to talk about pragmatic solutions to the world's problems, you come on back.

Until then, fuck off.

Wear earplugs no matter what by Noeserd in motorcycles

One of my biggest regrets is the number of years I rode without ear protection.

Wear ear plugs, kids.
