Nominative determinism

So it’s just a pile of useless garbage because Martin hired a buddy to do it part-time instead of bringing in an independent investigator and he hid it because it’s embarrassingly bad, but still tried to talk-up its importance even as he knew it was drivel until he was forced to release it and be revealed to be even more dishonest and incompetent than we already suspected.

But reading between the lines, it looks like the whole thing was intended as an effort to hide that Biden’s unconditional support for Israel probably cost them the election which would have been determined by a real investigator so he intentionally brought in his buddy to fuck the thing up and muddy the waters so they can ‘move on’ and ‘not think about what went wrong too much’.

That’s what I was thinking, unless he gets impeached or kicks the bucket he’ll hold office until January 2029.

When I worked at B&N way back in the day the policy was to sell any book that was legal to sell, though many would have to be ordered. In that regard, as long as AI slop is legal to sell I don’t have any particular problem with a store selling it.

I wouldn’t buy it, of course. It’s bound to be wretched.

That has to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. I’m veggie, if I don’t poop every day there’s a fucking problem.

Houston has so much going for it what with all the petrochemical factories providing spicy air for you and all the crime, heat and flooding adding adventure to your day.

There’s ballooning now? No wonder it’s so expensive, though I imagine they can utilize the abundance of hot air produced in the building.

Boondocks, meaning a remote place, entered English from the Tagalog word bundok, meaning mountain. American soldiers returning from occupying the Philippines introduced it in the early 20th century.

The Cash version of Hurt is the definitive one.

My whole career was like this until I moved to the public sector. Now, I wouldn’t say we are over staffed, but my team of 3 has about 2.5 people worth of work, such that if one person is out we can still handle everything, if two people are out it gets stressful.

By comparison it feels like I am exhaling for the first time in 25 years.

Around here they are promoting May 2nd as a “buy local” day.

Can we get someone who is not Harris or Newsome please?

Our future alien overlords.

It’s the bypass in question that falsifies validation data to the Denuvo DRM. It runs under the OS (Windows in this case), which gives it more permissions than your operating system itself. You have to disable a significant amount of your security, reboot, run your game with the HV bypass, reenable your security, reboot, and then you can use your PC normally again. Even if you trust the HV bypass software (and I don’t personally think that’s a good idea), you are still opening your machine up to attack. If you are perfect in your actions and very cautious you can minimize the risk, but slipping up could leave your PC compromised. It’s just too much risk.

Just a quick extra note, that people who have not completed up to a certain point in the MSQ are tagged with a little sprout next to their name, the only time I have ever seen people get a /kick was for hassling a sprout.

It is very solo-friendly. There are some story beats which require you use the dungeon finder, but it’s very painless and the community is supportive of first-timers, so there’s no stress.

I certainly hope Denuvo steps on something pointy, but there’s no way I’m installing an HV bypass on any machine.

Shadowbringers is the best expansion, if you want some high-quality writing it’s worth a play through. The prior two expansions (Heavensward and Stormblood) are also good, it’s just getting through ARR and the pre-HW story that is rough.

People should respect the boundaries set by their partners.

It is much, much larger than the dot com bubble.
