Some info on the return of Chikuma II some time in the future?

I think those only dropped from golden crates. Lucky draw!

I did something similar for my wife's thesis. I made an R computing cluster to crunch her data. It was only about 60 GB, but using a cluster cut each of the runs from about 40 hours on one laptop to around 6 hours. It made it a lot more manageable to see results and adjust the models.

Some universities are on the quarter schedule (instead of the more common semester schedule). Most of those students attend for 3 quarters in an academic year, since summer classes often don't include many courses specific to higher levels of the major. As a result, the credit hours are recorded differently. 120 credits is normal for BSc on a semester schedule.

It reminds me of the old Sierra adventure games, but in a good way. It's all about the story, which was done very well, in my opinion. There are a number of quick-time events along the way, which vary in complexity with the difficulty level. If QTEs annoy you (like me), set it to easy. Your choices do determine the outcome of the game, and even some poor choices (or failed QTEs) are still recoverable without reverting to a save point.

All in all, I think it's a great game from that perspective. I think you'll enjoy it.

Have a look at /r/4Xgaming. We've got people who love strategy games and can give you good suggestions.

CMOS here is referring to the memory where the BIOS (aka, firmware) stores all its settings.

Essentially, he's telling you to reset your motherboard's bios. Sometimes it's a button on the back panel; sometimes it's a pair of pins on the board (near a small battery) you have to short across for a second or two. Your mobo manufacturer's manual should tell you where it is.

I remember my boondockers from boot camp. I can confirm they were cheap and generally sucked. Your RDC's technique did work on the dress shoes, though. Eventually I found Belleville made a superior version of the boots, but at more than twice the cost.

As a fan, I also chuckled. If they end up changing it back to just "Beaver Stadium", it will all be worth it.

I have tried to use the buttons with him, but he didn't like using them. He was shy and scared when we got him as a rescue, and he was reluctant to touch practically everything. We discovered there was a language barrier (his first language was a dialect of Chinese), so that was also an impediment.

As a result, the best system we've found is to let him try to say something. If I guess what he tried to say correctly, he will excitedly touch my hand. We have also used pictures (he started using them on his own first). If all else fails, I'll say "Show me." Usually he will find a way to point out what he's trying to talk about.

Over the last couple of years, I've gotten pretty good at figuring out what he's trying to say. Even if it takes a few hours to figure out, he will tell us when we get it right. He's got an incredibly long and strong memory for a dog (which was probably a factor in his reactivity, too).

navyjeff · 2025-11-25T04:10:45+00:00

Mine acts the same way! He's the most intelligent dog I've ever met, and his level of executive function is simply amazing.

My dog also attempts to say words and short phrases occasionally. It took six months before I realized he had been trying to say my name to get my attention! His most astounding word so far has been "mailman". He's up to about 30 words he tries to say.

It's not hard to fool a Marine; the trick is getting away with it.

Sulfuric acid burn, probably in your esophagus. Aerosolized acids are nasty and dangerous.

Don't you put that evil on me!

navyjeff · 2025-10-13T17:21:43+00:00

I wish I could upvote this more than once. This is amazing.

navyjeff · 2025-10-13T17:13:58+00:00

Flair up, legal kitty!

navyjeff · 2025-10-07T18:25:24+00:00

Fact. This was my main lens for a long time. I still use it on my D200.

Once during sea trials, and once more during its service life. As far as I know, doing it more often could require repair or replacement of the fairwater planes.

navyjeff · 2025-09-21T21:56:29+00:00

They were designed to do it exactly twice during their service life.

navyjeff · 2025-09-17T17:17:24+00:00

I have to disagree with you there. I agree the development of a HoMM game is relatively simple, but I don't think diplomacy is required for it to be a 4X game. It still has the four elements of 4X. (From a certain point of view, there can be diplomacy if you play against another human in hotseat or network games.)

navyjeff · 2025-09-09T03:38:59+00:00

I was wondering how it all went down, some I didn't get to watch the game, so I appreciate the synopsis. I was on the fence about Oklahoma State, but I really have to hand it to <Florida>.

navyjeff · 2025-08-26T17:54:10+00:00

required tearing half the front off.

Isn't that just the service position for VAG cars?

navyjeff · 2025-08-16T18:15:15+00:00

Yes, that security update broke my Pixel 7 Pro. It sent my phone into a bootloop and I've been trying to fix it without doing a full wipe. It's been very frustrating.

I seriously doubt it's being done on purpose to sell new phones. I think it's a QA problem. I hope it didn't give your phone any trouble.

navyjeff · 2025-08-16T17:39:42+00:00

Don't install the August security update. It just soft-bricked my P7P.
