Had no idea this was coming and VR seems like an incredible medium for a Deadpool game

We called June “Junuary” because it still rained quite a bit. We didn’t have “Fire Season” when I was a kid, it was still safe to have campfires in August. There might have been a few days each summer where the temperature exceeded 100F / 38C. We didn’t have air conditioning, but it wasn’t really necessary. Summer weather was over by late September, but I don’t recall it ever being very “hot” once school started. It was mostly gray and rainy November to May.
Now, summer weather seems to start in May. It’s about to be 90F / 32C the next few days and I find myself wishing for more rain every June. There are forest fires every year, fire bans go into effect early to mid July, late summer the air is hazy and smells like smoke. There’s usually a solid week that exceeds 100F / 38C. Portable AC units are necessary for survival. I’m usually still wearing shorts and a shirt into the second half of October, my partner’s birthday is on the 20th and that’s been the last “long summer night” where we stay out until 2AM the past few years. Winter’s been a lot sunnier than it used to be, we usually get a “false spring” event in March. “April Showers” feel like they’ve been missing.
US, but I don’t know that should matter. Even in France, water comes from a variety of sources and boiling / using distilled water eliminates risk, no matter how small.
In my family’s commune (France), there’s a lot of calcium in the tap water - such that you could actually feel it on your skin and in your hair after a shower, appliances like the coffee maker got crusty deposits with use. My grandmother only drank bottled water, I wouldn’t put that through my sinuses even if it were boiled.
Yeah, you’re not supposed to use it when you’re fully congested because the water will just get trapped and sit.
There’s a bit of a learning curve and people hesitating can end up with the uncomfortable sensation of “water up your nose” but it really is awesome and life changing once you figure it out.
Every neti pot I’ve ever had recommends either:
A) Warming distilled water and adding salt
Or
B) Boiling filtered tap water, adding salt, and letting it cool down to warm.
Hardware gore
That’s the telltale pattern of VRAM issues If this system has dedicated graphics, there’s a high tool and skill ceiling to executing repair.
If this has integrated graphics, regular RAM gets used as VRAM and repair is easy as long as the memory is modular
There’s always the possibility that this is a silicon level issue in the GPU/CPU but those cases are statistically less probable
9mm Parabellum was designed by Austrian George Luger 10mm Auto was designed by FFV Norma AB of Sweden 5.56 NATO was developed in Belgium by FN Herstal, as was 5.7mm 7.62×39mm was developed by the Soviets
These European cartridges all use metric measurements
.223 Remington, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .40 Smith & Wesson, .22lr, .357 Smith & Wesson Magnum, .44 Remington Magnum are all American made cartridges that use decimals of Imperial measurements Original designer’s name gets includes because, well, capitalism lol
I think one of the few exceptions might be 6.5mm Creedmoor, developed by Hornady
In order to be exposed to this phenomenon, this 80 year old grandma would need to have two PCs for that purpose, which is rather uncommon. They’d also need to engage in more activities than you’re describing, because browser only Grandma probably doesn’t have any shortcuts.
I own a repair shop and interact with your average consumer / home user on a regular basis, so making these concepts understandable to them is not alien to me.
As an alternative, though, I have had to explain why leaving OneDrive running and paying Microsoft $2 per month would have saved them a few hundred dollars in advanced data recovery fees or maybe even have any data at all after a crashed head made confetti out of the platter.
I’ve also sent people to check OneDrive.com and have them skip that entire phase of work altogether. Compared to 10 years ago, data recovery cases are increasingly rare in my shop.
It might seem dead simple to you and I, but getting this type of user to manage a 3-2-1 backup themselves is hard work and is no likely to pan out in their favor.
First, OneDrive only moves libraries if you enable backup for that library, something that the user is prompted to approve during OOBE or when setting up OneDrive.
Thing is, library locations are an environment variable. This isn’t a OneDrive issue, using an absolute path is bad software development. The issue you describe is not unique to OneDrive, it also affected users who had remapped their libraries to a secondary drive or literally anywhere other than C:\Users\Username Ironically, the original Oblivion release respects the environment variable path. The same is true for virtually every other piece of software, which is why so many users were confused encountering this for the first time.
Most Shortcuts default to C:\Users\Public\Desktop which is not indexed by OneDrive, but user created shortcuts or those for apps that install to the user account’s AppData folder (Discord, Zoom) will end up on the regular desktop. For those who do want to back up their desktop but don’t want machine specific shortcuts showing up ‘dead’ on other machines, you can created a shortcuts to the Public Desktop that the user can drop their other shortcuts into.

Gasoline and diesel expire in less than a year.
In the present day, there are plenty of people living “off grid” powering their homes and EVs.
Without a power grid, electricity can still be generated with solar panels or by spinning a turbine (wind, hydro, etc)
Electricity can be stored in batteries that will last years. With the right skills, it is also technically possible to DIY a lead acid battery.
I’d argue that getting places quickly is a substantial advantage in survival. Travelling is dangerous, people used to die all the time on multi-day journeys. Being able to travel quickly expands that range of available resources, and a vehicle provides the means to move those resources.
Hearing a knock at the door late on April 5, 2023, Dotson put on a robe, went downstairs and grabbed a handgun before answering. Police outside shined a flashlight as Dotson appeared and raised the firearm before three police officers opened fire, killing him. Dotson did not shoot.
The story does not specify whether or not the officers ever identified themselves. If they didn’t, then from his perspective he went to answer his door only to have a bright light in his face.

And Epic has had a lot more financial resources available when they launched their store. Estimated valuation of $15 billion in 2018, Valve’s was half that in 2022.
I don’t really see an excuse for Epic to have ever had missing features, they entered the market with plenty of templates for what does and doesn’t work
To my knowledge you still can’t easily discover / reuse existing game files, the launcher usually redownloads them anyways.
Even the Xbox app supports this (for most games)
It’s where you happen to touch that matters. Less of big deal touching components’ ground pins or handling the GPU by its heatsink/shroud, but if you discharge into one of the PCIe connector’s main data lines your GPU is not going to be too happy about it. Same is true of many of the pads underneath the CPU but, again, it really depends what you happen to be touching when you zap it.
I don’t think that was supposed to be your takeaway from that video
There’s playing it a little loose with ESD (not using a mat / resistive grounding strap), then there’s completely throwing caution to the wind (working on a carpet without any sort of ground nearby)
Glad you weren't wearing your wooliest socks though
Biggest problem I encounter is people failing to signal their exit
So I end up being C because I yield to a bunch of bozos who didn’t communicate they were’t going to come my way
You successfully printed the Combine checkpoint from Half Life 2, failing to see the problem here
