I've got a GameStop subscription which gives you a $5 a month coupon. I would almost always use it to pick up Pokemon cards. I haven't been able to find any cards for a number of months now and decided to ask an employee about it.

Apparently the cards are no longer being sent out in the volumes that they used to. Instead of getting weekly shipments, they might get a monthly shipment (not as many boxes) and it's a little random.

He mentioned that people would somehow find out that a shipment was on its way and wait overnight just to be able to buy them up in the morning.

Some employees are even being stalked just so that they can figure out when these shipments are coming.

Someone just got the AWS bill.

If you're in the U.S., the Institute for Justice does a ton of good work. They're a nonprofit that picks up cases to help out those who can't afford to do so. They've gotten a lot of cases all the way to the supreme court.

They're committed to challenging things like qualified immunity, or civil asset forfeiture. Things that really need to be taken on given what we see happening today.

I'm not sure on the level of interest in something like this, but if there's enough interest in here we can try to claim a spot on the canvas.

Best way to handle it would be to separate out your votes from your comment/post history.

Create an account just for voting.

On Windows you can open up a WSL shell or PowerShell session directly to the folder path you want.

Hold 'Shift' then right click anywhere inside of a directory and you will get an option to "Open PowerShell window here" as well as to "Open Linux shell here".

That, or free for a whole year!!

Oof, that's not good. Thanks for the heads-up!

Definitely a better idea to join a watch party then and watch someone else stream it live.

Is it making those requests per user, or making them once and then sharing the results with all users?

Well, we are getting some corpo paints for the upcoming cargo event missions.

But it's for the Hurston Dynamics/MicroTech/ArcCorp/Crusader stuff.

Earning a skin by working for Big Benny's/Whammers, etc. would have been awesome.

Another awesome update to the system:

What if my friend forgot to use my referral code when creating their account?

We’ve added a 24-hour grace period after account creation—if they forget, they’ll now have a full day to add your code retroactively.

To anyone who is reading this comment without reading through the article. This ruling doesn't mean that it's okay to pirate for building a model. Anthropic will still need to go through trial for that:

But he rejected Anthropic's request to dismiss the case, ruling the firm would have to stand trial over its use of pirated copies to build its library of material.

From the Grayjay FAQ:

Does Grayjay require a subscription?

No, We offer a way to pay for the app once. The app will function identically without paying.

Yeah that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.

Out of the 133 countries where Helldivers 2 was previously locked out of, now there are only 7:

1. Belarus
2. Cuba
3. Iran
4. North Korea
5. Russian Federation
6. Syria
7. Viet Nam

Update: now there are 8... Japan was added to the list: https://steamdb.info/sub/137730/info/

However it looks like Japan has its own individual game package so players aren't actually locked out over there.

Announcement from the Institute for Justice, which took up this case:

Body camera footage is also included lower on the page under the "Video" section.

Definitely a great nonprofit firm that does a lot of good work bringing cases before the Supreme Court. Especially for those that can't afford to do so.

Did I miss an announcement somewhere? Are they actually getting rid of NAV mode?

Last I heard they were making a few changes to it, but not in the way of removing it.

Yeah, they showed off a video in the past where they want us to be able to attach vehicles and pretty much any item to ship cargo grids as well. It's only partially implemented for now.

But even when they get that fully working, it looks like you would only be able to fit some hoverbikes on this ship.

I would assume that looted ship weapons should attach as long as they're small enough. That does seem to work for most weapons on most cargo ship grids right now.
