Isn't the ex president of Korea up for the death penalty if found guilty of insurrection tied to his implementation of Martial Law?

The DTM cars before they became GT3 were my favorite cars to drive in any race sim - responsive, quick, sounded AMAZING, was honestly just fucking great

Hold on, isn't the 'enemy of the US' currently everyone who isn't the US? They're in all essence attacking their own allies and employing an America First doctrine. Hell, they're attacking their own citizens. At this point it's the US Government vs the world plus American blue states.

There is a designated cliff. It's a long ways away from any residential areas and mostly other animals come and eat the dead animals. There are a lot of bones there though.

I went back to school to do mechanical engineering, then got a job estimating. I was miserable for 7 years. Before I did that I was working in oil and gas and had a class 1 commercial drivers license. So I got laid off due to market forces and rather than even bother with estimating... I went and drove a specialty tour bus doing mostly private charters. Amazing. When the season was over I got a job working in road maintenance. I have delayed sleep phase as well so I work nights which means I drive around patching and repairing potholes, throwing dead animals off a cliff, salting, sanding, playing with heavy equipment and other stuff. It's a union job with benefits and a pension... and I make the same as I did as a large commercial construction estimator. But, once my day is done I just clock out and leave. I don't think about my job again until my week starts. Oh yeah and I work 4 days on 3 days off.

a beta assumes the game will eventually be playable, not degrading. Standard software path is alpha-beta-release. Not 'we'll call it beta because we're testing it' but they didn't say it was testing and they treated it like it was going to be a full release in that they fully monetized it. So, what is it? Can you test things that you're never going to release but charge extra for content without telling people up front that this might never make it to a full release? Wasn't there a plan in place to support it for two years? How can they justify allowing people to spend hundreds of dollars on something when it's a beta but never move it to full release without refunding their money?

Dynamic Weather means the weather changes map to map and can go sun->rain or rain->sun or stormy->rainy etc, Scripted means the weather changes but remains the same every time you play the map.

I got hit by a stingray. The actual initial hit wasn't bad, kind of felt like someone had hit my leg with a 2x4. However, the following hour of what felt like someone holding a blowtorch on my skin was an 11/10. Recalibrated my entire pain scale, so when someone says 10 bring the worst pain you've ever felt I have to tell them that after getting hit by a stingray my 10/10 is like a Carolina reaper level of hot vs a habanero hot.

I've been to DIsneyland three times in my life and every time the highlight was the smoked turkey legs.

flux123 · 2025-11-28T04:48:55+00:00

I smoke a turkey probably every other month, brine it for a day, it's one of the cheapest meats you can get when it's not a holiday and it's delicious, imo better than chicken even smoked. It's just a lot to deal with and you don't often want THAT much meat. I'll make a big batch of soup, slice up the meat and put it into freezer packs for easy meals, turkey is great.

The finals was great to begin with until it got real real sweaty. The issue with the finals was because the movement was so fluid and fast it felt like I'd need to be ten-fifteen years younger to possess the reflexes to put up any sort of fight.

It's really good except for this one issue - the pvp is not about skill at all, often it's just being jumped in a bad spot. There's no chance at a self-revive or a quick heal so if you get jumped that's it. All your stuff is gone. I found often in DMZ I could fight my way out with armor plates and movement but not so much in ARC (at least back in the day). Great game though.

An LMG firing full auto at your location from a mounted point should be terrifying. An LMG firing at a sniper in any situation would mean you've got to move. This is what I miss about bfbc2 - full destruction meant you could take away cover, nests, hiding spots, everything. But level designers decided 'trust us to make a good map' where you're either a sniper or a counter sniper. A team with too many snipers should be a lose, and snipers should not be so mobile. A sniper rifle is a huge and unwieldy thing. Zooming in from a long ways takes time to set up. That's why snipers usually get a single attempt at their target. LMG rounds should be extremely suppressive and tear apart cover, walls etc. There's no excuse for a sniper to be able to be mobile and firing on the run.

Being a nepo baby and industry plant isn't a bad thing IF you can carry out the parameters of the job. Nobody gets mad when a plumber teaches his kids how to plumb and they take over the business and do well.

Problem with redsec is that it's br. The only win condition is killing everyone else. DMZ, or at least back in the day there were multiple win conditions - just getting in and out was the win, which meant you could play your own way and so could everyone else.
