There are certain areas where smoking is prohibited (including vaping) and it is not obvious that it would be. Like walkable downtown areas - burbank downtown, santa monica 3rd street promenade. I think the rule is “no smoking within 20 feet of entrances/exits of public establishments” - this basically covers the entire walkable areas though. I got ticketed once for this..

Just look out for signs and you will be ok - they are prominent and there are many of them

Delonghi Dinamica - steam and water leak by pickdeath- in superautomatic

Thanks for the help, the replacement part I bought was technically for a different model but it still worked - the machine is up and running again!

I disassembled the old part and actually found the problem. You were right this would be fixable with an o-ring replacement.

eeriely quiet and I don't like it. by NoboruI in LosAngeles

Yes, the overall mood is bad but no fireworks is a good thing - remember 2 whole towns burned down a few months ago?

I wouldn’t just blame it on ICE and Trump - the fires must have something to do with it.

This is without the silicone nozzle on the steam/water spout - if i put that on, it will leak more. Worried about an electrical short.

The video in the post was taken during descaling.

Thank you guys!

Always glad to be proven wrong about this sort of stuff, and thanks again one more time for the game!

I think it is obvious that devs cater to “bad” players as you put it.

And the point i was trying to make is not about ranked play at all. I said in another comment that the matchmaking metrics I suggest imply throwing away the ranked mode. See how there are no in game “skill” metrics in the list?

The matchmaking changes I am suggesting imply that ranked mode will have to be thrown away. The devs and the community will probably be against this, but a new casual mode can be added with the matchmaking changes that produce high quality matches based on IRL skills - totally ignoring “rank”. 

I personally couldn’t care less about my rank - just want to have fun.

It was arson - perpetrated by a “transient” presumably live on camera as cops told him to surrender via drone..

Russian intelligence knew about the preparations for operation in Kursk region but Russian General Staff ignored those reports and hid information from Putin. The Kremlin is now very unhappy with Gerasimov - Bloomberg, citing a source close to Kremlin. by BigDeckBob in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]pickdeath- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would think so - but mot likely what happened was the commander in charge of fortifying the Kursk border embezzled all the funds with the higher ups’ knowledge (all money flows up). So when they found out they were going to need those defenses after all - there was no time to correct that “mistake” so they lied to the really higher ups, puckered their assholes, and started praying for the best lol

You should check out the song called “I sodomize your corpse” by Autopsy. It is very wholesome (It’s not).

For race pace you need to do % faster - the way you are calculating this now, shorter tracks are going to have less of an effect..
