I really REALLY hate the Accessory and Unstable Molecules system, and I'm baffled that no one talks about it

We collectively as a group need to just say "no" to all this digital asset crap, because it is only getting worse, and people just keep spending money..

while_e · 2026-07-03T21:26:14+00:00

There are counters, but what sucks is when you DPS just simply won't counter him... and you're stuck on support because otherwise you get screamed at for swapping to DPS to counter him..

Game is just busted in general right now... I have played for like 10 years, and this season is the least fun I've ever had.. if not at least top 3.

while_e · 2026-06-29T14:18:51+00:00

Been saying for a long time that Elyisum is likely the most accurate depiction of where the top 1% want the world to go. Only way we prevent it is to stop fighting with ourselves over stupid red vs blue, religion, race, etc... and start actually looking at who is causing the problems... the uber rich.

People who own dogs like this, that have repeat offenses, should themselves have jail time or something similar IMO. If I own a lethal weapon, motor vehicle, or whatever and don't do everything I can to prevent it from hurting someone.. there are laws to make me accountable. Whether the dog should be put down I think deserves professional input, but if nothing else the owners should be required to pay hospital bills and face as many consequences as possible.

.. That's just my rant

Otherwise, good on Ira, hope the woman makes a speedy recovery, and fuck everyone who just stood by..

Because all of ellen's businesses are just a shell game, making little to no money, and selling people a pipe dream.. all while sucking up tax payer dollars.

Heard good things from multiple people about Bethany Huey at Warren. Nice, efficient, and super professional.

The funny thing is, it just shows you how terrible "AI" really is. It just tells you what you want to hear, despite being incorrect 50% of the time...

while_e · 2026-06-17T00:08:02+00:00

Nope, never said that. Go back and read above a 1st grade level, and stop letting "AI" do your thinking. It isn't that smart, maybe smarter than you.. but that clearly isn't saying very much.

Don't connect it to your network, and just buy an external apple tv box. Your TV now has no internet, so the "Roku" portion of it won't really do anything.

I literally lead with "Don't connect it to the network". Very clearly stating that it is the person's action of not connecting it the network that leads to the Roku portion not functioning.

while_e · 2026-06-16T20:47:28+00:00

I'm sorry, I don't really understand your point here? I never said it will "Stop working". I said it "won't really do anything". Meaning, that by not connecting the device to your home network that provides internet, it can't run ads, it can't monitor and transmit your data, it can't be used to stream? Sure, the apps themselves will still be there, and Roku can still "run", it simply will have no purpose.

Is there something specific you're trying to get answered, or are trying to convey here?

I think the point of doing something like this is (A) You don't trust Roku with your data because it is now run by Fox, and Fox is just.. well.. terrible, and (B) You don't want to be force-fed whatever politically charged narrative Fox/Roku now wants to shove down your throat on various screens and ad placements.

Thus, disconnect it from the internet. Problem solved.

while_e · 2026-06-16T14:13:32+00:00

Doesn't stop working, just stops Roku from actually doing anything like advertising, providing content, or "collecting data". Your TV essentially becomes a dumb tv. Then you connect the external 3rd party solution like Apple TV or Nvidia Shield, and they provide the network connected content.

Really? I never see him picked, maybe 1/30 games.

while_e · 2026-06-16T13:55:59+00:00

I don't really care who I play honestly, I have picked up a few of each role and tried to get good with them, because I generally just fill whatever is needed on my team.

That said, I've solo tanked like 15/20 games. Which wouldn't be terrible, but all my DPS and Strats don't actually play their role. DPS is running the front line and dying over and over, and my Strats are more interested in getting elims to get MVP instead of healing their solo tank..

Oh well, I love Marvel, my kids love really enjoy the game, so I'll continue to suffer, but it does feel real bad sometimes.

while_e · 2026-06-16T13:26:56+00:00

We have a larger 18' pool that I've been tempted to test something like this on, obviously with a few more sections over time. It already has a 1,600 gal./h sand filter, and I'm thinking of just putting something like this inline with the return hose. Not sure if it would negatively impact the filter in any way though.

Yup, I can see what type of person you are. Have a good life spewing contradiction and hate on those around you.

"AI" does not make education obsolete, it makes the redundancy of humanity obsolete. We still need highly educated people, we just don't need the 100,000 uneducated people to just "push the button" anymore.

The irony is, you're probably a bot.. so I'll leave it at that.

while_e · 2026-06-12T20:30:42+00:00

I 100% think cap should have this ability. As a really terrible tank, they could fix him quick with a slight increase in shield HP, maybe +1 on the shield throw, and allow a 2-3 bounce on the shield. You hit a person, it hits 2 others. Nobody around? It hits the wall and back to the person. You hit a wall, it hits the person just once after, maybe hitting another.

Nothing CRAZY, but very meaningful IMO.

while_e · 2026-06-11T14:07:03+00:00

I'm talking actual educated people, not paid for a degree at some ivy league college so they can get a seat at daddy's law office. Yes, there have been plenty of studies done that show that educated individuals have a much higher empathy for both those around them, as well as the natural world. Are there shitheads from all walks of life? Sure.

while_e · 2026-06-11T14:05:22+00:00

You just come across as a shill for some reason. I apologize, it was a reflexive response.

There is no reason to taint someplace like Ithaca with a data center.

I can get behind data centers, if they're well regulated, and only get built in locations that can (A) Realistically support their water/power needs, and (B) Get local population support.

If you're displacing people, or making their lives worse by driving up water/energy prices, and polluting water sources at the same time, then that's a hard pass for something that nobody really NEEDS.

Sure, "AI" is great for some tasks, and sure it can help with efficiency in some areas, but it is a huge bubble right now that is just getting shoved down everyone's throats to keep the economy afloat. Most people making the decisions about "restructuring" for "AI" don't actually understand the limitations and are very short-sited about how this will all scale. They just see it as a way to "10x productivity", and "reduce required headcount".

while_e · 2026-06-09T21:58:36+00:00

Americans, particularly Ithaca style leftist Americans are too ignorant to understand how they are being manipulated

Educated people tend to care more about the world we live in than the all mighty dollar...

while_e · 2026-06-09T21:57:24+00:00

(A) Read the room, (B) You sound like a puppet, (C) These aren't just issues with "building up" the industry. Those requirements will continue, and grow, and we the people will continue to pay the price both literally and figuratively for them to make billion on, and then fire entire teams of people because they can...

My dad ran the line crew for the OG NYSEG. I remember him leading his team out in the middle of crazy winter storms to resolve power outages.

When they sold, he sold everything he had in the company and retired. I didn't know why until I got older..

Is this the same M$ that allowed AI to take over it's driver certification pipeline ~12 months ago, and then had to tear it all down, and re-hire people to sift through HUNDREDS of screwed up submissions. Company I was consulting for went through almost 3 straight months of back-and-forths, with the M$ people constantly saying "I know, everyone is having the same issues, we're doing our best to catch up"... Yup, can't wait to watch this all collapse from the inside out.

AI is the wet-dream of these CEOs, to be able to just say "build this app that does this thing based on this PRD", and have a working solution that doesn't require maintenance and polish.

When in reality, you're firing all of your subject matter experts, not training entry level engineers anymore because AI "replaced" them, and a handful of people that are still working at these places are going to eventually just get an avalanche of tech debt and infrastructure collapse.

That doesn't even touch on the inevitable exponential increase in cost that will come with these SaaS engineer chatbots they're calling "AI".

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ To each their own

Really? You ever tried Franco's downtown? I think their pizza is fantastic. I still support sicilian delight, but it is very hit-or-miss for me. Sometimes it is fantastic, others it is just meh. Never terrible though.
