I’m from space!
Paying a pornstar? Now that is just unacceptable!
That person wasn’t complaining about the hush money, they were complaining about a corrupt court system, that bends the law in extreme ways, to let their appointer commit crimes without consequences.
Bummer that they didn’t have perfect weather for 4/20/02. 4/20 is best on a sunny day.
I keep thinking that I’ll install flow meter with my Rachio system so that I can catch leaks. Irrigation systems kind of like classic cars - they require constant maintenance, and shit often breaks. And since I water at night, I often miss major leaks until it’s too late.
As for valve covers, your best bet is just to Google stuff and do some image or shopping searches. Most are pretty ugly, but some fake rocks and fake logs exist.
I ended up burying mine. It’s a pain in the ass, but it’s the price I’m willing to pay to not hear my wife complain about a fiberglass box.
[Bolivia] has seen about 190 coups, as well as military dictatorships and revolutions, since it gained independence in 1825.
Jesus Christ. That country fucking loves coups.
Wait. What year is it?
Toy ‘R Us?
Slashdot?
To be fair, repairing any modern car is kind of a nightmare.
They just disbanded that project.
Rivian’s CEO looks like if Steve O was sober in the early 2000’s
True, although their OSes don’t really disclose what is and is not being stored in the cloud by default. I like iCloud syncing, so it doesn’t bother me, but I could see how this would annoy others who want everything local.
Yeah, this wasn’t even intentional. The car just shit out while she was getting the car situated. Very scary.
Also, this is similar to a use case that Telsa likes to promote. They allow you to leave the climate on while the car is locked.
This makes me never want to trust the dog and camp modes they advertise.
Can you update your post and swap in the mastodon link? https://mastodon.social/@ashleygjovik/112668309100333232
X sucks.
This is like telling your neighbor that you like pie, and after work, and after the kids are put to bed, they spend the night baking you a pie using the apples that grow in their yard.
When they come over with the warm pie that they went out of their way to bake, you say that you prefer cherry pie, then complain about having to go to the same old bakery to get a cherry pie.
Just say thank you, take the pie, and give it to someone who will appreciate it. And if you want cherry pie, offer to help out when they bake next and bring some damn cherries.
This isn’t the only country that’s an example of this.
The increase of male births can be linked to a historical preference for sons, a decline in birth rates driven by gender selection preferences and advancements in technology, such as ultrasound, that facilitate gender selection, according to the report. The report also emphasized that the prolonged period of a skewed sex ratio at birth since the 1970s has had a significant impact on marriage rates. Regions with high marriage rate imbalances are characterized by particularly skewed sex ratios at birth during the 1980s and 1990s.
So basically a lot of people saw a vagina in the ultrasound and decided quit and restart the level.
Yeah, I wonder why they never added the option to combo new visuals and old sounds. MCC will only allow old audio with the old graphics.
That said, it’s still one of those games where I get together with my middle aged friends, and no one thinks much about the game’s in-game presentation until someone toggles the graphics, then people suddenly realize a LOT more has been updated that they realize.
IMHO, they did a better job than most at recapturing how the game felt when you played it back in the day. Not all of the creative choices were perfect, but nailed a lot of it.
IMHO, it depends on the game and the remake. The old Halo games are probably the best case study on what to do and what not to do.
Halo CE - Don’t do that. The game was old enough to warrant major texture, geometry, and animation upgrades, but the developer also completely changed the art style.
Halo 2 - Do this. It’s the old art style, but with more detail. The game looks like how you think it looked, until you toggle the old graphics on and see how it ACTUALLY looked.
Halo 3 - Do this. The game was in good enough shape to just need a few frame rate, texture, and resolution bumps. New animation and geometry wasn’t needed, and avoiding that was the right call.
People talk about Biden all the damn time when Trump’s court corruption comes up. If I had a dollar for every time I saw a thread about Biden changing the court via packing or using the “official act” ruling, I’d be a rich man.
People aren’t getting grumpy at you because you’re bringing up Biden, they’re getting grumpy because you want to start talking about Gaza in court corruption comment thread.
Lemmy’s got noooo shortage of Gaza articles with comments that shit on the current president’s policies. And yes, since this is an election year, they also talk about his opponent’s policies in the region. That guy is winning in the polls and has policies that would be even worse for civilian deaths in that area. Those of us that care about saving civilian lives want to reduce military aid, not double down.
