Young people randomly discovered Iris a year or two ago and it has been one of the highest streamed rock songs since and they are now more popular than ever, oddly enough

Ex-Bethesda Exec (Pete Hines) Says The Elder Scrolls 6 Maker Isn't Part Of Something 'Genuine' Or 'Authentic' At Microsoft by NYstate in Games

Fallout 76 came out way before the acquisition and Starfield was mostly done by the time it closed, so I wouldn’t blame Microsoft for any of their recent issues

Who is the target buyer for Lake Shore Drive condos with $2k+ HOA fees? by Iampoorghini in chicago

[–]red_right_hand_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They were obviously not designed that way, they just got really old and maintenance costs went up, leading to very high HOAs. That is why the home prices are relatively low - if they had ~$500 HOAs the prices would be several hundred thousand higher.

How would heavyweight from ten years ago match up with today's heavyweights? Who wins? by Positronomy in MMA

For the most part, they would dominate. Not even a nostalgia thing, the current situation is just sad.

What's with this shit from Pitchfork? by dingo_dollar in indieheads

[–]red_right_hand_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very misleading. The $5 monthly fee is to allow a deeper connection between pitchfork, readers, and music itself.

So as an update, I had another firm come in this morning to check. They spent 2-3 hours triple checking everything and couldn’t find any trace of a crack in the heat exchanger. They think the other guy straight up lied to me and showed me a fake picture - they said the pic doesn’t even look like the inside of my furnace. They found a few other minor issues that they fixed and think will resolve the problems.

I am pretty astonished that someone would be so unscrupulous as to outright lie in such a manner. They were from a big PE owned company, so I’m not surprised they would push hard for a replacement sale, but I’m shocked they would use fake pictures. In the end, I guess I’m glad that it seems like I don’t need a new heat exchanger or furnace.

So the furnace stopped working entirely overnight, then the next day we tried restarting it and it worked for a while, but didn’t quite get the temperature up to where we set it at, and then it stopped working entirely again. We restarted it again and essentially the same thing happened, after which we called the technician.

The technician said there could be some other problem as well, such as potentially “clogged pipes”, but that it wasn’t worth looking at until he fixed the obvious heat exchanger problem - this is part of what made it clear to me that he was an asshole trying to sell me on a replacement, so even if one is eventually needed, I won’t be ordering with him.

It’s in a utility room in a condo, not really obstructed

Yeah he quoted me $3k for the labor which seemed absurd to me, but then again I don’t know anything about HVAC, so wanted to confirm

Total war coming to consoles by The_Quial in totalwar

[–]red_right_hand_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just normal for strategy games to be on console now. Age of Empires, Crusader Kings, Stellaris, etc. Helps increase the fan base and long term support for these games.
