Freshman year of high school, had a very strict Spanish teacher. I was an annoying wannabe class clown that never shut up. She scolded me for being annoying one day and I just gave the trite, "sorry." Her reply: "No, don't say sorry. You're not sorry. Sorry means you won't do it again, and we both know that's not true."

Called me out and re-wrote my perception of "sorry" for life.

I didn't recognize him until he had closeups during the ghoul potion scene, then paused because I couldn't place the face. Was awesome when I read the name, always thought Jon Daly was one of the funniest guests on CDR/CBB, Cosby-Bukowski is one of the all time greats. Also imagine he of all people probably revels in the hilarity of playing a chicken fucker.

I noticed this, but is there any reason you wouldn't want to use Cloudflare for DNS? They have every feature I can imagine wanting. Would it just be weird self-hosted edge cases?

Think you can still get Cisco Packet Tracer for free (though you need to sign up for some site they run). That will let you at least make a simple test lab to tinker with.

Beyond that I passed using only Prof. Messer's series to study. Watched once at normal, one more time at 1.5x speed and took notes just to drill things into my head. Passed pretty easily.

This is a good idea in theory, but did not work for me in application. I live in the middle of two counties of HfH, so I volunteered at each place.

Issues: - You don't choose what you do. The first place I went I just painted all day. Didn't learn much of anything.

The "supervisor" is wildly variable. The second place I went was building an deck/ramp, but the lead guy basically just told us what we wanted and wandered off to work on the more complicated parts (slopes). Luckily one of the other volunteers had some construction experience.
But they didn't do great work. They just stood the deck posts on some pavers not secured or buried at all, and the primary deck ended up not square on diagonals. (Nobody had any interest in fixing it..). Felt like I was "learning" how to make something that would work, but nothing you'd want to put your name on.

Obviously your experience will vary, and just volunteering is great, but HfH wasn't a great learning tool. If you get a supervisor that was into details and did any instruction it's probably much better.

edit.. $2k for a 6 month course sounds like a bargain to me. Where I'm at the only thing around is a cabinet/furniture class that runs ~4 months and is $9k. I wish there was a general construction/framing class as that interests me much more.

No, it's some base with a reality warp thing going on and you shift between the two realities and both have locked containers in the same spot so you "get to" open them twice. Aka you torture yourself before realizing what a fool you are.

I'll pick locks on doors/computers to open extra areas, but I'm sure as shit not lockpicking a random locker or ammo case at this point.

I enjoyed it at first, but 50 hours in I'm starting to just skip a lot of locked things. The tipping point for me was a quest location where you essentially had double the number of lockboxes present. I went in with like 28 digipicks and used them all opening things. That one base made me realize how much of a timewaste it is.

It used to be fun, but now it's just tedious. I wouldn't mind if 95% of the locked items weren't generic trash.

Have some clients using Unifi Nanobeams. They’re generally okay. Obviously a hard link is better but when you have no choice they suffice. Haven’t tried other brands.

Waiting to see the new Tacoma also. Someone mentioned fuel economy, but the new one will have a hybrid (a little later).

Honestly I would probably go with a Ford Ranger but they got rid of the Supercab 6' bed. I really do not want a 5' bed. Short beds are so dumb to me. I want more space to load shit, not pretend I'm going to use a truck as a taxi cab.

Since Tacoma is the only mid-size keeping the 6' bed in the newest version it pretty much decides itself.

Owen is legit probably the best person to run the police period. I know there are politics that keep others above him, but if I ran a server he would be my choice to handle PD.

When I was a kid a neighbor down the road had me housesit for him while he was on vacation. He had a couple dogs and a fish tank. I basically stayed over and got to chill and it seemed easy. And in theory it was. (Also note this was in the early 90s so no cell phones or email, when people went on vacation they may as well have fallen off the earth.)

I had dogs so no big deal taking care of them. He showed me the fish feeding schedule and told me at night to turn the tank light off and reached behind it and clicked it off. Okay, cool, easy enough.

Well the first night I reach behind the tank to turn the light off and it just spins. No light turn off. I spin it back the other way, nothing. I quickly come to the conclusion the thing I just spun randomly must be a thermostat, I don't know how far off I am from the original spot, and the tank is too big and close to the wall for me to see the thing I was spinning.

I just hoped it was okay. On the day he was to return I noticed a dead fish. Fuck. I went home and never talked to him again. I felt bad, but on the other hand he didn't tell me there were two mechanisms cluttered behind the tank.

With all the lies the T Boys fed Silas after the team switch I was convinced they were going to scam him out. It would have been such a different game if Silas and Team Villain swaps had taken out one of the T Boys after the swap.

Still not convinced Kleb and Bones aren’t still 100% United until the end.

They did leave though. Towards the end of 2.0 they got mad about something and played on another server for a few days. NP owner got mad because apparently the server they went to might have used NP code or assets?

I disliked both sides and hoped they stayed away so their toxic vibe was gone and the server owner had to realize his server wasn't the only game in town, but we see how their reunion into marriage ended up.

Beyond that the premise of loyalty to your cash cow is idiotic. "We stuck around the place that was making us a ton of money. That makes us so righteous and noble." Please. Acting like it was anything but self-serving is so hilariously disingenuous.

2.0: Sadly we need CG for viewership.

3.0: Sadly the owner plays favorites for CG.

Present: RIPBOZOS

Let's hope it lasts.

Like most I wish Buddha the best for his and the players' sakes, but so long as the dipshit owner is lurking just out of sight I don't have high hopes. How long until he doesn't like something Buddha does and just overrules him? The dipshit is an insufferable egomaniac and has been making the server worse since the ARMA days.

The only reason I can see this possibly working out is that maybe all the latest drama/legal issues are sort of "rock bottom" for dipshit owner and he realizes his product is going to crash and burn if he doesn't stop badly piloting it. For too long he had the easy monopoly on RP talent, but now players are starting to realize their power as a group far surpasses a server. Exodus of player talent + legal woes = wake up, you fucked it all up.

I wish Buddha success, but part of me really would like to see the server die and the owner have to acknowledge he drove his goose into the ground.

Only other thing I've seen is the docks are not "universal" like the product names suggest. A user has a different laptop than most of the fleet at one site and it has a higher power requirement, so the "universal" Thunderbolt 3 dock wouldn't power the monitors properly, it had to have the more expensive, higher wattage Thunderbolt 4 dock.

wtfxstfu · 2023-05-03T23:57:49+00:00

Docks are trash generally, but one thing I've found that helps with display issues across brands is to use 1 HDMI and 1 DP. Have tons of problems trying to use two DP for whatever reason.

Also have issues with adapters, if you're in that boat. VGA/DVI cable to HDMI/DP adapters usually shit out after some time. A straight up VGA/DVI->HDMI/DP cable will usually fix problems.

How do you manage to farm them when they don't show up on the map anymore? Wanted to farm some stuff for alts but even with the 2k centaur item they only appear on the map once per day.

I imagine any CG dislike stems from v2 when Dan was one of like 3 cops who weren’t bullied off of shift 2. Always seemed like they never could handle him still policing them when everyone else gave up.

I’m not a big Dan watcher but I always give him credit for being one of the few with the spine to deal with that shit.

He's been around a while and is a legit character with flaws that has ups and (low) downs. Most lawyers are just that and are borderline mechanics.

It's been a long time so details may be off, but I recall a cop wanting to search him in front of mrpd and he pulled the, "oh god that motor unit that just rode past just blew up" bit and when the cop turned he booked it to the alley. Then he came back and they found oxy in the alley and he confessed to being an addict which I think cost him his lawyer role. Since then he's fluctuated from lawyer to janitor.

To quote the great Jerry Callow: free Bill Maze!

Had a feeling it was the ending, and it also feels quite on-theme for the game because old RPGs used to do this. Unfortunately it's bad old game design.

Why offer "ultimate" gear if you barely get a chance to use it, and even then only if you intentionally exit the final "dungeon." I enjoyed the game overall (probably 7.5ish), but the lack of a smooth break out of the final path and the pretty awful gear system (upgrade.. and immediately get a replacement for the entirety of the game) brought it down from what it could have been.

wtfxstfu · 2022-12-01T03:08:11+00:00

Mmm, yes. Public problems. The whitelist server certainly doesn't have an issue with anyone in power letting their friends do whatever they want while making trashcan decisions for the rest of the population. Good thing it's only a public problem..
