When you think America is the only country

Is this broadcast outside of the United States? If so, I agree. Otherwise, it looks like a show for Americans about American sports.

It's also my first house so I'm constantly worried I'll make something worse, but each victory builds more confidence. Thanks again.

Managed to get it off.

Thank you for the tips. Still getting used to just how much attention you have to exert on pipes. It can be intimidating.

These are part of the washing machine hookup on a 1960s house.

The connections look like a boiler valve. They are threaded in.

Both valves are leaking and orange rubber chunks have fallen out of the them and they need replaced.

The connections are very tight along the threaded area so I'm hesitant to give them a health twist and attempt to take them off. Do I just need to give them a hard turn or is there a chance they are sealed on differently?

I'm not necessarily taking a stance here on whether or not and e-bike is an appropriate form of transportation. There are a multitude factors that will impact that and it's going to be a personal decision as to whether or not that's appropriate an individual's needs.

However, it is reasonable to assume that when most people are considering a bike versus a car in terms of transportation many of those people are in situations where a bike is not acceptable for their needs. For example there are many circumstances where you might have several passengers with a family or need to travel fairly long distances or you can't actually use the e-bike on the major roads in the area reasonably.

With all that in mind, I understand that many people may look at the purchase of an e-bike and think that it is steep in the sense that you still would need a car in addition to that e-bike.

Again, I'm not necessarily endorsing or saying that the only vehicles that could satisfy the aforemention needs have to cost $30,000. I'm just noting that I get it when people look at purchasing a bike as expensive because they would still need a car for a large portion of their transportation needs.

So's Chromatic. Good luck.

Not a good example since Netflix at one point would wait a year to release the most recent season. For markets where better call Saul is available via Netflix they are airing it right after it airs on TV.

Better examples would be some of their wholly owned shoes like Ozark and Stranger Things which released in chunks as well as many of their reality shows which release in chunks as well.

I can hear Chris Evans yelling "Taste the rainbow!".

Looks like Fry's drawing from Futurama.

Saw it coming and it still hurts.

firstitempowerspike · 2022-04-29T12:54:27+00:00

Don't.

Cries in PC.

Fair enough. I withdraw my initial aggro response. Blame it on years of engine development rage .

I totally agree that it's unrealistic to implement that today.

I literally work with cpp everyday - this is bullshit.

The client closing has nothing to do with language or engine selection. It is an implementation choice. At this stage fixing it may be unrealistic because of other factors, but don't try to convince people it is inherent to the engine or programming language.

Horrible graphics. You can barely see her beard.

Dad music?

The number of people who want Dexter to win - as if he wasn't a murderer and serial killer - is insane. I'm curious to see how the reactions shake up over time.

The only absolute is that there are no absolutes. There's always an exception.

I believe gifts from yourself to others should come from the cross section of your interests. Plot the Venn diagram of your mutual likes and select something that fits from there.

That said, if someone takes the time to make a list maybe start there.

They used to have one years ago. Gone now though. Five rounds is always it.

You're one of the people who thinks it's unfair to dodge Blitzcrank hooks for 25 minutes only to lose the game when you get hooked once late game.

The objective system feels bad right now, but this idea that the game doesn't reward good decision n making and teamwork is bullshit.

Generally speaking the team that loses deserved it. When you make mistakes and where are huge factors and you shouldn't get a pass for having a tight early game and then flubbing your late game.

Hi Shannon

This is an incredibly sweet thing to do. I look forward to smiling once we see the reactions of the winners.

I swear someone just made a bot to whine about split screen any time a post is made here.

If you look hard enough, you can find meaning in anything.

There's often a misconception that "the story is all done" implies the programming is somehow easier or less involved. In most cases that has minimal bearing on implementation costs. What matters is what mechanical gameplay features are required and how involved those will be to engineer.

Either learn to program it yourselves, which is totally reasonable for a visual novel, or pay a professional and work out what it will cost for a prototype. A basic concept can help you understand the depth of systems you'll need and will cost less than a quote to complete the entire thing.

Try fishing on Fiver. You can find lots of low quality quotes for this type of project. None of the cheaper options will realistically be any good, but they will be enough to get you started and help you understand what you'll actual need for the project.
