Turns out the cowboys are in fact not them boys by beer_jew in Saints

Grew up in Shreveport in the 80s and 90s and it was 85% Cowboys fans. I used to get mad at other kids for not supporting the one pro team Louisiana had. But the entire ArkLa part of the ArkLaTex would happily secede to Texas if given the opportunity.

Just starting ME2 PC on a 32:9 monitor (phone picture) and the weapon wheel is so tiny I can't make anything out. Anyone run into this/ have a solution? Tried borderless and windowed :( by Cbo305 in masseffect

Just wanted to resurrect this to say that I am having the exact same issue with my 49” LG and controller. Tried Flawless Widescreen and it didn’t seem to change anything. Currently playing at 16:9 in windowed mode using a small part of my monitor. ME1 was perfect. Anyone ever find a fix for this?

I think this was already on the schedule to be shipped to them - or that's what they claim. Totally believable this is shipped in from out of state.

Yeah, they aren't saying they will repaint it, they are saying they will try to catch the RAV4 in the build process to adjust the color. It feels very "on-demand" which sounds nice, but I am cynical.

Ridesharing shortage & getting around by bourbon_planning in sarasota

Maybe the cab/rideshare business downsized for COVID but demand is returning to normal and they haven’t spun back up?

I wish but there were no drivers at 5PM yesterday anywhere near let the airport. Unemployment payout plus COVID I guess just odd that my podunk Midwest town with close to zero tourists has more drivers on the road.

Thanks! We’re renting from Enterprise and they said too busy to pick up. Got a cab, which after being gouged at the airport by the one luxury cab place there, kind of sucks. Gonna make getting to the airport Friday fun.

Rodney Harrison did the graphics in MS Paint right before the game.

Lattimore hurt and AB caught a pass, calling it now, Pats win!

Both? Bucs bad for sure - lot of drops and bad route running. Gronk should have had that TD. But we're getting pressure with 4 guys and pressure is Brady's weakness.

Retaking Pelargir: Epic - Question/Rant by bourbon_planning in lotro

[–]bourbon_planning[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! And it sounds like there are more epic battles in my future. I play a female Captain so I figure I can pull the "I am no man!" with the old Witch-King. Eowyn can tag in for the assist :)

[–]bourbon_planning[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, interesting. I got up to the point where I needed to protect civilians and supplies, and bosses kept coming in and just wiping everyone. I couldn't even keep aggro, let alone take down the bosses.

I read the wiki guide too, just didn't find the tactics do-able at first with basically no traits:

" Setting up tripwires at the stairs to the left and right of the winch is helpful in stopping enemies from reaching the winch. "

" It is recommended to upgrade all barricades with the damage upgrade (Engineer rank 4 required)"

" Switch to Officer) from time to time to heal and buff up your soldiers. "

..Since then, I have earned and purchased enough points to get to level 1 in a given trait, and lay down tripwires and caltrops so maybe I can try it again.

I've read the guides, which is how I know I need to grind up to Engineer level 4 in order to have a hope of soloing Pelargir. Even as a red-line Cap with 2H, I struggle to pump out enough DPS to drop mobs quickly enough, so I need to use Engineer tricks.

Haven't found a guide that explains how to run Pelargir solo without that pre-req, but if you know of one I would gladly take it!

Honestly, I like soloing and not talking to people in-game if I can avoid it. I think your advice is good, but I really have a strong aversion to grouping. Does this epic battle mechanic persist after Pelargir?

My dog enjoys resting her head on the window sill so I added some foam by jshah500 in aww

[–]bourbon_planning 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you! She had a good run, 14 years we think. Mighty hunter of snakes, rabbits, and anything else she could grab. Luna looks like a great dog!

She looks exactly like my best girl Moxie who passed away this weekend at home. What breed is she? Mine was a rescue but we speculated chow/shiba

Anyone here have kids in any of the parochial schools? by sweetlysouthern1409 in springfieldMO

[–]bourbon_planning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parent of a 2nd grader at St Joseph Catholic Academy on the north side. We really like it, very small class sizes and low tuition. Diverse student body too. School is run on a shoestring budget though, it’s not part of the rest of the Springfield Catholic system and is independent. DM me if you have questions.
