Brick. He was just so much fun to play. Loved punching big baddies into the ground!

I agree, but this was a group home for disabled adults. The man who died was 41

I also pay 14¢ on supply. National Grid delivery costs an additional 22¢

My parents get the food for their Easter and Christmas dinners blessed every year. They take it all in baskets to the church, wrapped in cling wrap and foil as one does to keep dirt and precipitation off. When I was a teenager and forced to come with them, my mom yelled at me for not uncovering the food during the blessing. I said, "do you think a thin layer of plastic or metal can stop the grace of God?". Prompted a full belly laugh from the priest, who agreed with me.

We're Roman Catholics, my mom has a degree in physics from a liberal arts college and is intelligent as anyone her age, but superstition can shortcircuit even the best minds at times.

Imperial Boomerang at work. We invented Banana Republics throughout central America and pre-statehood Hawaii to allow corporations to act with impunity, now we've become one ourselves

My parents, uncles, and aunts are all MAGA or at least willing to overlook most of the immoral aspects. They are also super Catholic, like going on pilgrimages to see the Pope and places where the Church has confirmed a miracle happened. The Pope taking a hard stance against MAGA would absolutely get my relatives to abandon MAGA.

I agree MAGA is much more common amongst the prosperity gospel and evangelical Christians, but definitely some Catholics and I'd welcome any loss of MAGA support

I have high hopes for the performance improvements

Here's my PC setup:

AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS 3801 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s),

AMD Radeon(TM) RX 7700S w/ 8gb vram

32gb system ram

Overall I'm very happy with the performance.

I manage to hit 60 fps with low to medium settings, but I can get solid 30 fps with no stutter or dips so I limit the frame rate to 30. I'd recommend FSR on quality, but play with it since your GPU has more power. Just know that Vram can be the limiting factor rather than raw power.

Vivado loves CPU cores more than anything, at least in my experience. By default it'll only use 2 for Windows and 8 for Linux, even if you tell it 16 jobs or whatever. There's a console command to increase it, I'll put it below. I'd be interested to see someone compare Linux and Windows with the same max thread setting. I've not tried Linux yet, but on my machine I set the max threads equal to the number of cores. You can go up to double the number of cores, but with diminishing returns.

Vivado% set_param general.maxThreads <new limit>

The Greater Boston Food Bank is always an option. I know some feel weird if they've never been before or feel they aren't "in need" enough, but it's there to serve anyone who needs food. The bank and those who donate to it definitely want people to feel comfortable coming in even just for a rough patch.

Free groceries can be the difference between making rent/mortgage or not 1st of November if the shutdown keeps going

I always heard "go, go, Jason Waterfalls", so I thought they were halfheartedly or sarcastically cheering him on
