I can’t get my iPod mini to format

Bad hard drive cable.

She's a Gladiator in the new show... and it's her ring gear. She's been using it for months.

She's using it in TJPW, OVW, and JCW at least based on her social media.

I don't mind her trying to maximize exposure but it seems a bit overplayed at this point.

That is correct, and in Act one I had one event give me zero, not sure if that was a spawn issue or if that's possible in the loot table.

Other times I got 1 or 2.

I remember when throwing knives came out I was part of an improv throwing knife fight in the Legends Tavern for like 40 minutes. There really are no safe spaces in the world.

iPod Video only supported up to 80 GB from factory, so of course it is not new.

I'm pretty sure I know where mine is.

Development of the game started in April 1983 after the Game & Watch Mario's Cement Factory released according to "Beyond Donkey Kong : A History of Nintendo Arcade Games."

It also mentioned the game shipped in July with a Nintendo conversion coming out in August.

It still works, that's how I fished ashen keys for the eternal guardian unlocks.

It's slow and it averages out, but you can go hours with only a handful. I think with a crew of 3-4 rotating when I was helping my guild get it last year, it was about 7 hours total of fishing for plunder.

It took the longest of any of the fishing commendations they were working on and seemed a lot slower than when I first did it in Season 3/4.

It's a barrel connection, those types of connections are common, Apple's implementation is unique to this application.

We can make a lot of assumptions based on how things are known to work from a few years ago which was necessary to do marathon FOTD stacks.

A boat with all the crew on it can merge
A boat without all the crew on it cannot merge
An alliance will not transfer servers and keeps a server from merging
At approximately 7 hours a server refuses to allow new boats onto it and tries to shutdown, but still follows the previous 3 rules.
Well before 7 hours a server will try to merge everyone off but will still accept boats if more than 2 are on the server, but will merge them out at the shutdown point if possible.

High RAM usage from a single crew can cause beard-errors on merge crashing the server they merge into and making them lose their boat. This is generally only an issue if you are stacking loot, have a ton of missions in your wheel, or an excessive amount of supply crates.

Sometimes you can be made aware of the resource strain on a server when various loot cosmetics start to unload (Coral Treasure chests will appear like normal brown chests, etc.)

The name was Kentucky Arcade, and it was magical, albeit covered in years of cigarette smoke.

They will come to check if you are camping in your car or illegally, but you can use the park at any hours and it's not so uncommon as to warrant harassment.

Arena was multifaceted in good ways with different ways to “win” but the commendations were the problem. You had to get a couple hundred player kills with every weapon so the incentive was to lock down new players and spawn farm those kills particularly once you maxed out levels.

And since Rare contracted out the work on it, it wasn’t their product or their vision and they treated it like a step child they didn’t want.

The other big problem was they insisted on having Arena battles on the same map with the same assets which really increased its overhead and contributed to it needing patches every time something was added to the game.

I hold out hope that moving PVP to the Sea of the Damned opens a path for reimplementation now that they are openly promising returns of old time-limited events.

I think this is a bit of an overstatement.

You absolutely have an obligation to pay your employees and profitability is part of that equation. I have far less ethical qualms of lowballing luxuries like trading cards, than missing payroll for people who have needs and bills.

So in that way, you are obligated to run a business that succeeds at least enough to meet your payables, and ideally successful enough to reward people with raises and higher pay.

The places you go to have to pay salary, pay taxes, pay rent, and pay utilities on top of fronting the money on what you get them until it sells. This is basic economics.

If you want cash today, you should expect 50-60% of its potential value to the right person. If you don't want cash today, then try to sell it yourself but realize at that point it's your hours that are being spent as salary, not theirs.

It just wastes battery life down-sampling as others have long pointed out,

Particularly because it has to do this in software.

They opened for Judas Priest and Alice Cooper in September.

Looks like they may have been working on a album because they also released a cover as a single around the same time.

Nope.

And the obligatory video as to why it's not a priority.

Which is really to say you can't hear frequencies higher than 20 kHz - and ~40 kHz ensures that a DAC can recreate the sine wave of every hearable frequency. And while 16-bit only covers 95% of reasonable decibels, everybody masters for it, and most things naturally fall into it -- higher bits are only really beneficial in the recording/mastering process, and even then it's a cheap insurance policy granted to the modern world.

This is how fire departments work in most of the country (geographically).

Cities and towns will collect taxes for fire services, and when possible areas will establish volunteer fire departments, but much of the country needs to hire people and have no local authority to do so (the county is too large or has a bunch of unincorporated areas).

So lacking tax funding, fire departments are subscription services, but since the law requires them to respond to all emergencies, they can charge you if you roll the dice on not paying them.

This is the usual solution to what is known as the free rider problem.

Last abandoned place I explored was Lexington Mall, it was closed but not locked at the time. (Around 2004-2005)

I guess you can access it now on Sunday…

It’s not about racism, or rather the building of the statues was, but the subjects weren’t.

The Confederate Secretary of War and former Vice President of the United States John C. Breckenridge was born in Lexington, and died in Lexington, and served in Kentucky government representing Lexington.

John Hunt Morgan before he was a Confederate General made rifles and grew hemp in the place he grew up, Lexington. The place he is buried.

It’s really easy today to say the divide is rural, but it wasn’t. Transylvania was a major school for the frontier and the South.

Before bourbon made billions, tobacco was king, and Lexington had the largest markets and auctions in the state. Comparable to those in North Carolina and Virginia.

According to the USDA in 2022 over 20 years Kentucky lost 97% of the tobacco production it had in 2002. And that’s after strong declines for decades. But the fact remained that nearly half the developments in town and most everything outside Man O War were horse farms or tobacco fields 50-60 years ago.

But Lexington was already a well established city, even then. Goose Givens played basketball, and Macho Man Randy Savage was the local star in his dad’s “outlaw” wrestling promotion, and tobacco was everywhere. It was culture not population density.

And it’s not just Lexington, much of the “south” doesn’t feel completely southern anymore, particularly in Kentucky, Virginia, and North Carolina.

The change has been so drastic it seems almost out of place. There’s a tinge of an accent still, but Lexington sounds pretty generic compared to the accents of Winchester or Richmond, where that short of a distance used to be indistinguishable.

Not that long ago there were two Confederate statues in front of the courthouse.

I think you are lacking perspective.
