We saw Nazis as bad and shunned them.
Gen Z and Gen Alpha created Incels.
There is a shifting of themes that basically tracks with the corporate takeover of the US government.
- (1993) Companies fucking around with systems they don't understand is the problem. Rich guy underestimates nature.
- (1997) Rich guy learned lesson. Corporate greed did not.
- (2001) post-dotcom crash: A rich fucker and his stupid family learn the lesson about the company that fucked with nature. Governments are bad for not interveneing.
- (2015) post-Birther: Company and its rich founder are naive and innocent. US Government and US education are the bad guys.
- (2018) Corporate suits are the good guys. Science is the bad guys.
- (2022) A (suddenly) European company is the bad guys. Science is again the bad guy. Americans are the good guys.
- (2025) The US company and Military are the good guys.
The thing is that they don't want an end to those services in reality.
They want an end to the imaginary concept of those services as sold to them by the GOP and corporate media.
She's an old school Archeologist(read: basically a fancy thief), not a Zoologist/Paleontologist.
The GOP and Democratic sychophants wish that they had renamed their party this first.
I remember when a company doing road work did do due diligence, called, was told exactly where an oil pipeline was.
Then they hit the pipeline.
Turned out that the US oil company had lost the maps showing the precise pipeline location and had lied to everyone.
Fuck big oil.
What is the scope of the zoning plan densification?
If they're taking single family homes and putting up high rise towers; if the city did not expand transportation or public services(water and sewage) in any way (bigger sidewalks, buses, trams, bike lanes) the assholes are right.
Go to Revelstoke over Banff.
• Less tourists
• Equally fantastic mountains
• You're not in Alberta.
Gardaworld caused an office building to be very, very infested with carpenter ants.
The switch 1 hardware was 99% compliant.
Then they patched the switch and intentionally made the switch incompatible with 3rd party chargers and docks.
And I recall this because it bricked my GFs switch literally the first use post patch after using that dock for nearly a year.
Ex had gallbladder issues that ran in the family.
One night she had bad abdominal pain. Drive over and rush her to hospital. Gets in 15 minutes. Nurses provide aid and pain relief, night shift ER doc looks her over, determines is likely gall bladder and it needs to be removed based on pain. Morning doctor looks her over, says it's not bad enough to warrant immediate attention, sends her home with painkillers, an appointment for an ultrasound and a 6 month-ish waitlist for removal.
--
Two nights later, same story, she opts for an ambulance this time. This time the same night shift doctor stays a bit late to ensure that she gets an ultrasound right away.
Gets sent home after the ultrasound and told that they will phone with next steps same day.
11am, go back to the hospital, get told that she is being admitted for immediate gallbladder removal. Ended up taking a day and a half to get to the surgery because of a bad motorcycle accident then two emergency c-sections tired out the only surgeon available and his staff over a straight 24 hour shift. 8 hours sleep and she was first up. Got it out, follow up at a nurse practitioner to get the drain removed.
Cost to us: $0
Angus Reid's message post Obama's two unexpected victories make it clear that polling firms are still unable to model millenial, Z and Alpha voting behaviour.
Their only move is to disenfranchise us.
Because Carney is a fucking traitor.
If he hasn't surrendered on the DST, the wealthy tax or the global minimum tax rate, he wouldn't have had to cut anything to increase the military budget.
I dread to see what he surrenders to the US in his trade "deal".
I wonder if "artist" means "AI" here. Because yeah, 4 bathroom is entirely over the top.
Also, there isn't a way to get to the mech or water heater. It's also missing a balcony, which is typical on towers these days.
It is, IMHO, fairly easily fixed though. Move the middle left one down and change that bathroom to a bigger kitchen. The far left one becomes a larger communal bathroom 1, with the new hallway serving it and the two left bedrooms.
Do the same on the right, but merge the utilites into the now 2nd communal bathroom. Make the former bedroom hallway into a walk in closet for the master bedroom. And get rid of the small closet in that bedroom to give it slightly more space and its own bathroom entrance.
Not talking about office. Talking about the control panel for windows itself.
E.G. network adapter settings. Used to be up front, now you have to dig for them.
The real way is you pull it off after a melee has attacked the thing with something.
But crazy catapult shenanigans is more fun. Also, the 2nd method to get them bleeding. with the acid vials is absolutely RAW.
1.Free action to place a vial, or bundle of vials on the ground.
2. Use catapult on it.
3. Catapult does damage to the thing it hits and to the thing doing the hitting, which destroys the vial(s), releasing the acid for that damage.
Use the Catapult spell to throw one of the following: A javelin at a target 3d8 bludgeoning plus, if you can try to get the DM to let you roll a d20 to see if the pointy end stuck in for an extra d6 piercing. At level 3, upcast this and launch a greatsword instead for an extra 2d6 and likely destroying the sword.
If the DM is being a stickler: Get someone in the group to roll 2 levels of Artificer(potentially you as the wizard) get the alchemy jug infusion at level 2. Every day, provided the gang doesn't find out it can make a lot of wine or beer, you can make two vials of acid. Sell one per day to recoup cost of empty vials. Catapult vial at target, 3d8 bludgeoning and 2d6 acid on hit.
MS has been doing that little by little since windows XP. Keeping the useful control panel and system elements, but burying them under layers of "user-friendly" menus that offer little to no actual control.
