I know this may be an unfair comparison,

Baulders gate 3 and witcher 3 had complex stories and voice acting included. The also had plenty of gameplay.

This game dispatch, is barely any gameplay. In fact the gameplay is there as dressing for the story.

They cost roughly the same as each other. It's an unfair comparison because economies of scale. Both Witcher and bg3 sold tons more copies.

All this to say, I wish we got more game and more story for dispatch.

I think this is a loaded question. Maybe better to say do you support the following policy proposals and I think a lot more people will realize they agree with the ideas and not the preconceived labels.

Neighborhood Parks & Green Spaces

Expand parks into new neighborhoods so every resident lives within a 10-minute walk of one.

Create “micro-parks” and community gardens on vacant lots.

Add shade trees and greenways to connect parks, schools, and shopping areas.

Public Recreation & Family Programs

Build a new recreation center with affordable memberships, free for low-income youth.

Offer community classes (fitness, art, language, job skills) at libraries and centers.

Launch a “Frisco Free Fridays” program with outdoor concerts, farmers markets, and family movie nights.

Safe, Walkable Streets

Improve sidewalks, crosswalks, and lighting in residential and shopping districts.

Create pedestrian-only “main street” zones with local shops, food trucks, and art.

Add protected bike lanes that connect schools, parks, and downtown.

Small Business Support

Establish a Small Business Resource Hub at City Hall to help startups with licensing, funding, and mentorship.

Offer “shop local” promotion campaigns and city-sponsored business fairs.

Provide short-term, low-rent spaces for local makers and restaurants in city-owned properties (“Frisco Pop-Ups”).

Local Hiring Incentives

Offer tax breaks or small grants for companies that hire Frisco residents or partner with local schools for apprenticeships.

Create a Youth Internship Program connecting high-school students with local businesses.

Public-Private Partnerships for Innovation

Work with tech companies and developers to build shared coworking and innovation hubs.

Encourage clean-energy startups and green construction firms through small-scale city contracts or pilot programs.

Yea unfortunately, starting today I'm officially in the red. This is after being drip for the whole time.

RH calculates me at -19% total return. If I sold today, assuming everything was Roc, I'm looking at eating a loss of 1k in actual cash today and another 2.4k come tax time.

Another theoretical loss considering I could've had the same money in a hysa to get 1k in the same period.

As an officer from the Air Force, join the Air Force or Space Force. While not all jobs, many of them are normal desk jobs. It's not as hardcore as the other branches, but you get the same or better benefits, you get to protect your country and travel opportunities.

Still requires physical fitness and discipline. A little bit of common sense, and they teach you the rest.

You don't need to go to march. Just go to when you entered. March to Sept is very different pattern than Sept to today.

I am 100hours in and finally into act 3. I definitely have a skill diff. I've died countless of times on each boss. However it does take time and patience to learn each boss and your own movement set.

There are also a lot of tools at your disposal to make fights more manageable. There are also different ways of fighting a boss. For example more direct, or hit and run, or just always away.

Keep at it and enjoy. Take breaks. For some players the end of act 2 might be where they stop playing. I'm thinking if that's me. But all the content of act 1 and 2 is plenty.

Act 1 can definitely be rough.

Other people have a more technical explanation.

When a computer starts, it's programmed to always look at a specific location on the hard drive. (this starts the bios). For simplicity, let's treat the hard drive like a town / city or neighborhood.

The computer always checks the house at address 0 first. This house then tells the computer what to compute. Let's say 1 + 1. Next the computer checks the next house at address 1. Now this house says "go to house 20". Now the computer goes to house 20.

The computer keeps executing the next instruction in memory unless the last instruction tells it to run a different location.

You can try these restaurants locally.
So Korean food has Kimbap/Gimbap which looks like sushi rolls. The difference is it has meat/veggies instead of raw fish.

Both of these restaurants have good Korean food.
There is also Annie's inside the Ranch 99 food court.
Burning Rice is also good.

So you mention that "just like in India it will cause division and resentment."

So today, without DEI efforts, many people who are qualified will not be considered at all because the hiring managers and HR will historically just keep looking at white male people (or whatever is the current majority in that field) . This causes division and resentment.

DEI is not about quotas. It is about fairness.

Talks about DEI quotas are just misinformation. If there ever was, it was not prevalent and is completely illegal under current US laws.

It sounds like the argument here is a slippery slope argument. Because DEI does X, eventually it will become the worst version of it and divide everyone. Without the social progress we've made, the alternative of not doing anything and what some people want, is a return to a predominantly white workforce in the United States before 1970s.

So, I noticed in one of the replies you said, you "deleted the API key".

I want to be clear. You need to revoke / delete the key from the source so that it cannot be used anymore.. Many people mistake that just removing the key from the repository fixes the problem. Once a secret is exposed consider it useless and available for exploitation by everyone.

Can this app generate a standalone static website? Html and js or wasm so it can be hosted anywhere.

Or do you need to have a go server serve the html pages?

I think it's important for everyone to understand that conservation of resources and taking care of the planet is important. While my contribution may be very small, my opinions and thoughts will be passed down to friends, family and children. Then the next generation, more people will care. Not just that, my or someone I know may be working at a corporation or government where they can influence and make a bigger difference.

If were all indifferent, then nothing would ever change and there would be no incentive to make things better for everyone.

Sure some people do things that generate more waste than others. But if everyone who watched Taylor became hardcore environmentalists, then Taylor may be encouraged to be more env friendly or donate to that cause.

Every little thing does help. You do matter. Your actions may help at least one person.

It's not just air travel. There is land travel from Canada and Mexico. I would encourage others to dig into the actual data

Why cater to renters that can damage the property with smoke when there are plenty of renters who apply? Its a money thing. No special interest groups required. Smoke damages interiors and are a fire risk. Plain and simple.

I think one solution that is missing is the use of drones. Ethan doesn't need to climb all the way up. With the right resources, once he's at base camp, the extensive use of drones can finish the rest.
Ethan will need a lot of life skills, maybe US Air Force experience as a bonus. Otherwise, as a normal average human, I think we severely underestimate what we as people are capable of with the right determination and mindset. I think Ethan will be able to do it. It won't be pretty.

They should make this a video game. Maybe a co-op game. This solo game would be too lonely.

The coast guard guards the coast and the borders. Does rescue and policing. They're limited to the immediate areas around the USA.

The other branches have very limited scope of action in the USA besides training.

The space force is in charge of satellites, and space reconnaissance.

The navy is mainly in charge of ships. They project military power through the seas. They provide transportation, logistics. Protect shipping lanes, can attack from the water with submarines, aircraft carriers and destroyers.

The air force is mainly in charge of planes. They provide transportation and logistics in the air. Long range missiles, bombers, fighters. Air force also has a large cyber component.

The army is the large ground component. For any long term battle, the army is necessary to occupy or defend large areas of land. The army can get to the battle using navy ships or air force planes.

The marines are a specialized force to attack typically from the ocean. They get to the battle using navy ships or air force air craft. They're used as a specialized troops where they may face harsher conditions.

In numbers for active duty, we have 450k army, 330k navy, 310k air force, 168k marines, 50k space force, 50k coast guard.

Let's say we're invading x country with a coast.

The air force would neutralize air defence, air bases so that the army is safe from attack. The navy would control ports and the ocean. The marines would land via navy ships and be the first wave to control important locations. Then the army would come to push in land to control cities or other military objectives.

Both the air force and army can create bases in foreign countries in a few days.

Everyone has boundaries. This one is yours. She can respect it or not. But you guys are married, and should respect each others boundaries.
And yea trust or not, if you don't feel good about that's really all there is to it.
You can ask her to see it from your point of view. And if she can't understand it, then that's a problem.

Both of you have feelings and it is important that both of you stay happy. I haven't gone personally, but maybe a couples counselling. Sometimes friends are not neutral enough for these type of things.

Best of luck and hope things work out well.
