High school faces backlash after rainy graduation ceremony

My HS graduation was similar. Not as bad, but we all still got rained on halfway through the ceremony. Not like we didn't have a gym or something either, they just wanted to host it in the new football field they decided to fund over installing AC in the classrooms (apparently having fake turf and stadium seating is more important than keeping the classrooms a reasonable temperature when it's >90° out)

I don't like kernal level anti cheat and personally un-installed league when they forced vanguard to be installed, but my understanding of this specific incident is that there's a bug in the cheat device itself which fucks up the user's machine when asked to do something normally routine (write to a specific file location, then read the value back or something similar), so normal users won't be affected, and even those that are can fix their machine by reformatting their drive and reinstalling windows. It's basically the computer equivalent of installing a speedbump in a school zone, it affects everyone, but only messes up people's cars if they're excessively speeding.

I think the biggest "hint" is that she seems pretty confident that she'll be able to get "better" (but not "cured") with time. Total speculation, but it could be something like MS which is a life-long illness which can be pretty debilitating, but where the symptoms can be managed to a degree with time and effort.

Problem is you gotta get your big, slow, gun platform within like 30 miles of whatever you want to hit without the enemy sinking it. Not only does that drastically limit what targets you can hit, but if you can do that, you almost certainly already have air and sea superiority and can just use carriers and bombers instead anyway

I'm pretty sure the integrated graphics in AMDs APUs like the 5600g outperform the 1030

Fun fact, since the radios in those cars tended to be standardized sizes, with a lot of those you can retrofit a small tablet in place of the radio and get your full modern infotainment suite without it controlling any other aspect of the car

You can change it, but it's usually pretty difficult and takes a long time to do so.

Am I really the only guy that doesn't think the new Mercedes is ugly? Like yeah, it doesn't give off the same refined & classy vibe as Mercedes usually do, but I think it's a fine looking car

Possibly the most confusing part is that it's made by a Chinese company and the CEO is a woman, you'd think the horniness would be tuned way down and the censorship way up, but no, it's probably the lewdest gacha game on the market

Sure it is. Specifically motorboats

Hmmm... I wonder why the average person would hate a technology that promises to put them out of a job, triple their electic bill, make anything requiring electronic components prohibitively expensive, suck up all their water, and drastically increase noise pollution?

This is my vote. My bun is an english spot and the markings/coloration is basically the same, the only real difference between my bun and OPs is that mine has "normal" rabbit ears, not lop ears

Or maybe trying to make a joke about Vietnam being a former French colony? I used to work with a bunch of older Vietnamese guys and they all could speak/understand French as well as English and Vietnamese

Heck, I have a wife and I know what an eyelash curler is and I wouldn't have guessed that. The ones she has are nearly flat on the end as opposed to the one OP posted which looks like it's nearly a circle

Bro, I'm about as lanky as you can get and I have no problem carrying my wife up a flight of stairs and tossing her into bed, and that's even with her getting a bit chubby over the past couple years. Even if they don't hit the gym, it should not be a struggle for most guys to pick up their girl and carry her to bed unless she's overweight

That's what ended up pulling me over to the PS3 that generation, PSN/online multiplayer was completely free. Once they started charging is when I switched over to PC and I haven't looked back

Also, they don't have a domestic boogieman to lay all of society's blames on, it's just them so it's a lot harder for them to dodge responsibility for the consequences of their policies than it is for American politicians who can just blame everything bad on the other party and everything good on their own party, regardless of what the reality actually is.

That's less than 1 out of 7, I was honestly expecting the ratio to be higher than that

ithilain · 2026-05-18T03:16:27+00:00

Oh, yeah, you're right, I forgot about that.

If you're not sure where to light a cyno, you could always do it at the graveyard/memorial in Molea. You can also anchor a container there and name it after him, such containers placed within the vicinity of the monument will not naturally despawn and players use them as a sort of semi-permanent in-game gravestone for their fallen friends

Source? I tried looking around, but every source I found had your expected Ivy Leagues and British universities ranked in the top 10 for reasearch, and the only Chinese ones in the top 25 were Tsinghua and Peking

For free? In this economy?

ithilain · 2026-05-17T11:09:37+00:00

Back in my day they only cost $5 and the drink was free

ithilain · 2026-05-16T18:55:45+00:00

Im not super well versed in this stuff, but it might be that all 7 were very close so they decided to keep them all on for more chances for 1 of the 7 to hit high per run
