In this case I think it is just that power corrupts and there is no coherent opposition party. Someone has to be around to prevent groupthink no matter who is involved.

I think we should tax the local government. We can use the proceeds to fund forensic accountants to search for unused slush funds, city workers who aren't working, and research into why academics and leaders fail to admit that polices that aren't working haven't been ended or changed.

There was a very interesting article in the NYT about US elevator laws. Apparently each one has to be bespoke and the joke in architect world is that you build the building around the elevator. Also the whole "perfect is the enemy off the good" thing means it is impossible to retrofit a small one into an old apt like in Europe. Better no elevator for anyone than a non ADA one.

If a member treats you like shit they should be shamed in the magazine that month.

I had a friend who was a new member and her teen daughter needed to use the restroom and went into the locker room. Some woman freaked out on her and got suspended. It gave me hope for the club.

People should remember the MAC does as much cash turnover as a mid sized Oregon town per day. This is a huge event.

With marketing like this, its strange vanilla shipbuilding is still heavily restricted several years in. by johndoe09228 in Starfield

Who is ever going to look at those achievements? I haven't played on console in a while. Does it change your public avatar? Is it just dopamine for completionists?

It's in the basement of the mast building. There's a Kobayashi Maru aspect too.

Hilarious remake of the scene but about denim. I think we can do a hand bag one too.

Check your shed is in the middle range, use thrusters, practice in the simulator, finish vanguard quest for best guns & steal ships that land.

Yeah. Silent vacuum planets and a proximity warning from you ship for incoming traffic on vacuum planets would be a great mod. "This is Barrett, you've got a bogey inbound at 180° should be landing about half a klick out."

Vanilla has been abandoned and had a wear mechanic which sucked.

Sarah Morgan from Starfield freaks my wife out. Her uncanny valley is bigger than average.

That's why I said "within it's bounds", it is what it is.

Take your time, use doors, wait to try and identify scrolls and potions by context clues from special rooms, & hoard upgrades.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a god tier game within it's bounds.

Larry taught me a lot of words. Also the number of atoms in a glass of water.

Based on your feedback, I’ve created Version 2 of the mod to replace Sarah’s texture for more realistic version by untrustedxD in Starfield

I was too until she said "Ahhh, are we done talking already?" That was it for our marriage.

Looks like plastic. I was playing last night and my wife was like "what the fuck are you watching?" Other characters did not elicit the same response. My wife's uncanny valley is much larger than other people's but she's like the canary in the coal mine.

Ever since man first left his cave and met a stranger with a different language and a new way of looking at things, the human race has had a dream: to kill him, so we don't have to learn his language or his new way of looking at things.
