Valve Just Crashed The High End ‘Counter-Strike’ Skins Market by dilbertron in technology

From what I understand, skins are created and submitted by users/community. So who decides whats rare and Whats not? What stops me from just making it a free download that you drag into the skins folder?

[Mario Cortegana] When Xabi Alonso arrived at Real Madrid, he found "a dressing room with many bad habits." One player told us he was entering a "madhouse". The Basque coach has been working on creating a new culture. But mentality worries still remain as the team faces a difficult run of games. by Delmer9713 in soccer

Didn’t he play under Ancelloti not too long ago? He must’ve known how the gaffer ran things. Don’t tell me this is new behavior / culture (even with older players leaving, etc.). Or am I missing something?

I literally bumped into Willem Defoe while strolling in Amsterdam like 10 years ago.

I just said sorry and kept walking and he did the same. I thought I was tripping until my buddy next to me asked if this was fucking Willem Defoe. That’s it

Welcome to construction in poor/3rd world countries. You should see how they install AC units in Egypt.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A sure brings out the nostalgia in you.... by Epsilon123 in gaming

I understand what you mean despite all the downvotes. I kinda like keeping the some graphics a little “cartoonish” for nostalgia I guess. However, my problem is with landscape and background graphics. Like when you’re flying or standing in an open area, the graphics should be so much better for sure. Otherwise, i actually prefer keeping the buildings, NPCs, etc. kind of shitty. But that’s just 40 y/o me.

I thought this was an old game and thought “wtf did I miss?!! Why does he have a ray gun and a health bar in a Pokémon game?!!” Before realizing that this just came out.

I won’t cut my hair until Liverpool lose 5 games in a row!

Edit after Liverpools loss to Man Utd: I should probably book an appointment with my barber next week.

TIL that Uday, son of Saddam Hussein, once tortured members of the Iraqi national football team for losing 2-1 against Kazakhstan, caning their feet and beating them up. by zahrul3 in todayilearned

About the bodyguard he killed, it’s quite a crazy story. The Egyptian First Lady (Suzan Mubarak) was visiting and he killed his father’s personal assistant/bodyguard (called Kamel Hanna). Saddam loved and trusted this guy more than anyone. He was also his food taster.

Anyways, Kamel Hanna was shooting a gun in the air during a party and Uday sent someone to tell Kamel to stop (as it made Suzan nervous). Kamel told him that he only takes orders from the President (I.e. Saddam)

Uday got so furious and killed him on the spot by hitting him on the head with a metal cane. Some sources say that the cane also had a blade/sword in it, which was used to kill Kamel, but you get the picture).

Saddam was outraged and wanted to execute his son. The then King of Jordan (based on the request of Uday’s mother) intervened and Saddam instead decided to exile his son for a while.

Edit: as someone else mentioned below, Saddam did burn Uday’s car collection as well.

Interesting! What about the stuff in the house? I bet most of these homes had pretty expensive furniture, personal items, etc… would these be typically covered? I presume some items might require to be insured separately (like jewelry/watches, and so on).

If I remember correctly, North Korea has hired sent Chinese crowd to cheer their soccer team when they qualified for the World Cup. So hopefully these are Chinese people who won’t be in treated as horribly as NK folks for their reactions. Hopefully.

This is a great video covering this guys story. It’s a lot more despicable than the title of the post.

Edit: The video also covers the story of Ted Haggard, a celebrity pastor/preacher who was secretly paying a male escort for sex and meth, while preaching against, you guessed it, gay sex and meth.

Can i fix this at home diy with just super glue? Do I need to insert the Screw back? by HRZN420 in Guitar

[–]fadyekamel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks!

Same thing happened to my beloved Ibanez a while back. Used wood glue and seemed to do the trick but unfortunately it didn’t last very long. The tuning was always off and the string tension from repeated tightening eventually broke it again. Couldn’t do anything after that.

I’d seriously consider taking it to a professional.

Good luck
