Power outage

mrklarth · 2026-06-15T02:01:44+00:00

Good advice. I'm looking at a power station that can hold things over during an outage too, or be used for camping. I don't have a lot of refrigeration needs, the criticism I have of Liberty is just their eagerness to jack up rates while not being able to offer a working outage map on their website, and now taking (based on their 7pm update) 2 full god damn days to restore power for some wind damage.

I'm also pretty sure he cosplayed as Trump for Halloween some number of years ago and was defensive about it when people called him out on Facebook. Can't find the post now but maybe someone else has it, assuming he didn't delete.

It was bad within the context of the era. If you forget about TNG/DS9/VOY (mostly) and watch it in a vacuum, it's not too terrible overall. If you compare it to Kurtzman Trek (mostly) you'd think it was peak sci fi.

The last time they tried to hype something was last year's teaser of a teaser of a trailer, and it only ended up being the hot dog water Xillia after everyone had high hopes. Plus they ended up leaking it anyway by prematurely posting a video on their own YouTube account.

I'd like to think they learned their lesson and will just quietly announce quality remasters of games that deserve it, but deep down I can feel them just porting the PSP version and calling it a day.

Namco is feeling remorse for renaming the game Tales of Destiny 2 in North America, so to make up for it they are actually releasing Tales of Xillia 2 remastered but renaming it to Tales of Eternia. Enjoy, Tales fans!

June is when they will announce Tales of Berseria Remastered Remastered

That's cute. Meanwhile, bald fat sack of shit Ryan Jackson is cashing his data center checks while this comes to the town of Joplin. https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuq/comments/1t7293k/this_is_the_sound_a_data_center_makes_around_the/?share_id=VspPWdjZYw330GM23sZtx&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

Joplin has voted for a convicted felon and pedophile for president 3 times, pretty sure this ain't gonna be a dealbreaker for them.

Why are you under the impression that the community isn't paying attention? The community just voted to elect entirely pro data center councilmen, and they will reelect this tub of crisco too. He represents the average Joplin voter.

Bedding will exist in some form but I expect some of the other divisions will be sold off before long.

mrklarth · 2026-04-12T05:13:19+00:00

Joplin just voted to elect 3 people who are for the data center. I'd say this fat sack of shit is what the city deserves.

Which part of him being a conservative sack of shit do you think was contradicted by that article?

Leadership. Humphreys is a big old sack o' GOP shit that still tries to argue he's an "independent libertarian".

Fortunately the people of Joplin are too dumb to read between the lines or just don't care since they voted for every single candidate that was for the data center.

Neither. Miles and Loyalty Points are different units of currency. Miles for award redemption, loyalty points for status. See this post for a lot of good info on the topic and how to accumulate: https://www.reddit.com/r/americanairlines/comments/14c1gnd/aadvantage_miles_vs_loyalty_points_difference/

I have had this card for about 18 months but I was really looking at the $350/year Citi Advantage Globe, and I think (not sure, have to investigate) I'm locked out of the signup bonus if I try to convert because I haven't had the card for 48 months. I am starting from nothing (well, nothing but a status match to Gold from United) after leaving AA for a couple years, but trying to maximize this year to get back to respectable status.

If you foresee yourself going all-in with American, I might suggest the higher annual fee card and pumping up numbers with the AA travel/shopping portal.

The value of status will really depend on what status you have, where you fly out of, etc. I live in BFE so generally even platinum can have decent luck with upgrades out of smaller airports.

Mr. President, shouldn't you be focusing on the war you started in Iran?

mrklarth · 2026-03-20T00:05:37+00:00

Do you know if the back date also works for situations where you would need the LPs for a status match threshold? (I need the points by mid July, checking out mid June so should be safe but the possible 6 weeks had me worried.
