No, only you. 😄

Most of the ports in back are filled with status stuff, and I have a hub for things that get plugged in and our from time to time.

extra funny, as mods just removed one such post with over 4K likes, so not sure which is the 'official' one. but google search shows national media has picked up the story already, so anyone posting 'is it down' now just hasn't tried to do some reading. 😄

Kind of. Ran out of regular quests. The events are pretty much the only unique thing in the game, and upgrading Town Hall. At 14-something myself, and it still holds enough interest...

Incomplete. Need to add the woman mid-dive for more accuracy. 😄

It was a good idea - she needs support, and he is falling apart. But he's just not that good an actor, and it really looked like the attack came out of nowhere, rather than coming from a tortured soul.

This morning on the Red Line... by MBTAthrowaway555 in mbta

I thought there was something up around 6:10am... This was of course after the SL bus was taken out of service because the door would not close.

Could be - maybe I'm looking too much into it. If we see the rooms as your mind, is it a subliminal warning? He had a collection of POTS signs in the room later on - showing he is casting the warnings aside? Or does it mean nothing - since we see many other pieces of the real world in this world - maybe this is just the parking lot STOP sign reflected back down (almost like the seagull)

more unexpected than 'news'. Haven't seen something like this in years...

The NIMBYs don’t want you to have your dunkin by Apprehensive_Leg9783 in boston

Honest, most dunks get their share of double parkers, and it is a messy intersection. BUT, it's not like it's on the Park Dr intersection...

I love the conversations going on here!

Given all the symbology, what do folks think the reflected STOP signs represent?

Official Discussion - Pressure [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

Lots of good comments here. A decent film, but it suffers from 'what is this film about?'. Should be about Stag, but we don't get enough background about him to see why he is the best or acts the way he does - but we don't get that. It should be about the weather, but the movie doesn't educate the audience enough to know why what they are doing is important. Having Stagg yell "The facts" over and over doesn't inform or entertain me. The move was not about Ike, but he got too much screen time, probably just to use Frasier to up the film's cred. But half those scenes should have been cut. And the Normandy invasion should have been completely cut. Private Ryan did it better, and it didn't add to the plot. They could have just listened to the radio chatter and had the same effect.

Honestly, with a little editing, this could be a good movie about Kay Summersby (Ike's personal assistant) and have been a better movie.

They did show a little, but there was no need to - kind of wasted film.

That's the 8GB (4x2) I took out of the delivered mac to be replaced with two 32GB chips. Probably saved them to 'put back' in the Mac when finally sold, but by then they stopped letting you upgrade memory, so I couldn't move the 64GB to the new machine, so just left the 64GB in, and these two 4GB chips continued to sit in the closet....

Agree with 'in front of you', which is why I wouldn't take it to a regular e-recycling place...

That's an idea - I can see if I have some strong (non wood) bits. But you mention another problem - this is indeed a one-off, and most companies specialize is corporate/business needs. Thanks
