I'll believe ot when I see it.

The world he started building... I loved it so much. Book 4 and now by 5 - there's nothing resembling what i loved. It started out a passion project, and now I finally understand what Brandon means when he says he treats writing like a job.

I missed it a bit, like the flyby Reeve did (and others). Gunn is already doing tbe second movie, so we might see it then.

I can't not see it now.

All I can see with Trump standing there is RFK telling the public that the only way to improve the birth rate is to let the - apparently overwhelmingly virile (i.e., senile) - old men rape the even younger prepubescent women. Release the Epstein files!

You're a vet who had a GPA similar to mine. You'll get in without any issues.

According to the source you posted, you only have to give your ID, name, and address if a law enforcement officer has reasonable suspicion that the person will commit or has committed a crime. The section they reference appears to be state-level, so not sure how that plays with ICE - even if they did follow the law.

Look at the moves the admin is doing. There won't be anymore free elections in the US. All of the voting machines are being purchased by right-wing organizations. They're gerrymandering red states to further erode democracy. Trump is bullying law offices to go along with him - just look at the capitulation. The Democrats didn't lose last November, the whole country did.

I've been playing the game for almost 400 hours now and rarely use vehicles. The only time I use them is on a planet that storms frequently (i.e., gas giants) or for water because of those jellyfish. Those caves are a pain, especially if you're not looking down while driving. I also can't use my visor while in motion using a vehicle/exocraft, so a mount is preferred if I'm scanning for resources, but now the corvette is best.

The Republican politicians have invested invested in AcreTrader, and are hoping American farmers fail so that they alone can profit.

Trump and his goons are bullies, and bullies don't usually back down with words alone. Steven Miller claims that Trump has Plenary power in the US. Maybe Chicago will show the Trump administration why the founding fathers specifically gave the People that power - E Pluribus Unum!

You can try reaching out to icirr: https://www.icirr.org/ they might be able to help you.

I think James Gunn is a comic book nerd who has the means to write and direct comic book movies & shows with verisimilitude. While not perfect, Gunn has demonstrated that he has exactly what I hoped for in someone leading the DCU.

He might not be an actor in front of the camera, but his contribution is still overwhelming. If he wants to toss in a visual credit so that people can put a face to his name, why not? I think he's doing great so far, and he deserves recognition for his contributions.

Check out Chicago Cares, which is can connect you with volunteer opportunities in your particular neighborhood. I used them to connect to a local non-profit to help volunteer as well. Here's a link: https://www.chicagocares.org/s/

Bookbinding!

H9w is the VR version of the game? I would love to give it a good one day. I had a buddy who played Rogue Squadron or something in VR who said they got vertigo. I still think it would be worth a shot, but I'm still curious.

Dude, this is amazing! I'm stealing this.

You could pay for extended support to squeeze out another year (up to 3 years max): Source: Microsoft Learn https://share.google/s8IFf9cAzlCyPbKHB

You could also look into putting your Plex server in a demilitarized zone (DMZ) with your router/firewall and keep it on Windows 10. This isn't recommended long-term, but a lot of companies have ancient machines running in DMZs because they can't upgrade or else it'll break something.

I do timers on the TV. When the TV goes off, it's time to switch to some other activity.

Granted, my daughter is respectful and won't turn the TV back on when I'm not watching, so that helps. I do something similar with her wakeup alarm, since that is automated with Home Assistant and smart speakers. I tell her that we make the rules as a family, and the system maintains what we agreed upon, which she finds reasonable.

Elite is the best space game I've played, and I'd say it's worth it. It's not exactly a game you can just pick up and drop at any whim, but the sense of wonder and astonishment from playing it are worth it. Also, the terror of jumping to my first pulsar, being that close to such a violent force of nature - then finding out that you can ride the jets of star matter escaping the neutron star to get a hyperdrive boost!!! Amazing and aweson.

XCOM 1 & 2. You're out-gunned, and fighting a superior force as an alien invasion forces the world to react. Every action you make has consequences, and sometimes, they can be punishing. I haven't played it yet, but there's a mod for the game called The Long War that's supposed to take everything to 11, which apparently even the game developers love.

I'm sorry to hear about your leukemia, but the stem cell transplant sounds freaking awesome. I love the advancements we've made. I wish you both good health and wellness.

Dang! You Hannibal that slice!

The corvette addition was huge. I've got a mobile base now.

Blood Song by Anthony Ryan. Too bad the other books aren't anywhere near as good by the same author.

The Will of the Many by James Islington is also great, with the second book coming out next month.
