They haven't trusted FEMA since at least the Clinton administration. They see the emergency powers FEMA can invoke and they get all worked up about "muh freedoms."
It's a gamble, as long as your income remains steady and you don't have any major expenses crop up, the gamble pays off.
Stop infringing on my 2A rights Donnie!!
Maybe, but he could still easily win if enough voters don't vote.
Right but a water heater isn't designed to remove minerals from water. Just to heat it.
Unfortunately corporate greed completely breaks the possibility of a libertarian society to me.
I have avoided Win 11 by disabling TPM in BIOS. Because I expect MS would eventually figure out some way to install 11 otherwise.
STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!
No supports split screen coop, at least on PC.
Not to be confused with What the Car? That's single player only.
Yeah if election critics have specific problems to point out, by all means do so. Otherwise quit flinging out baseless accusations and just generally making things worse for everyone for no reason.
I can't find the paticular document so that's why I had already deleted my post.
I remember it was some document that my conservative acquaintances were all worried about. When Project 2025 came to light the liberal reaction to that reminded me of the reaction at the time to Hillary's progressive plan. Really this would have been early 2000s and a "radical progressive" agenda would probably be considered mild by most today.
Same with Star Wars Outlaws, maybe hating the game gets them more clicks. And then a year from now they can make videos talking about how Outlaws is great now and was underappreciated on launch.
That's true, he's been saying 6 months or a year for Full Self Driving for almost 10 years now.
Accurate. But people need to be brave enough to embrace the truth even if they don't like it. You can diplomatically say things like "I'm not so sure about that" and such without directly contradicting those people.
FedEx too, even for packages marked signature required I've waited at home for them and the driver leaves the package and rushes off before I can even get to the door.
What the Golf? is lot of wacky fun. It's not really golf and has like 500 different levels, some wildly creative.
The article won't load for me, but how would non citizens get on the registered voter lists?
They used to rant and rave about some progressive manifesto they were worried about. It was around the time that Hilary in the primaries the first time.
I noticed that in the early 1980s in elementary school. The best students got teased and bullied by others who weren't trying. It made no sense, if you don't want to learn that's on you but why try to hold others back?
A report shows that while the industry is growing, its biggest competition is Fortnite, GTA, Call of Duty, and Roblox
This data will probably only lead to more live service games. :|
In what appears to be the first criminal case of its kind, two teenage boys were charged under a 2022 Florida law for allegedly creating AI-generated images depicting middle school classmates.
This is strange to me. Did the students create the deepfake nudes or did software create those nudes? A normal image editor program won't just create explicit material on its own, the user has to do it with a mouse/tablet/whatever. But AI algorithms will. Even if the kids were giving the instructions to AI, why isn't the software and/or the company that runs it at least somewhat liable for creating child porn?
Suppose the students drew the nudes themselves, but they were really bad stick figure drawings with a name beside them to say who it's supposed to be? Is that illegal? What if they were really good artists and the drawing looked like a photo? At what point is the art considered good enough to be illegal?
Ukraine’s fearless and expert EV mechanics bring electric vehicles declared unfixable in the US and Canada back to life on the other side of the world.
The Ukranian guy in this article didn't like spending $400 a month on fuel for his Jeep. So he spent $53,000 getting a wrecked Tesla imported and fixed, so he could pay about $50 a month to charge the Tesla.
Now he just has to drive the Tesla for 12 years to break even on fuel costs. Good move. :|
Valet parking seems to be getting more common at some city locations that don't have a good parking situation.
How do you feel about valet parking? Doesn't bother you in the least, will do it if you have to, will never do it, something else?
Personally I don't like some random person driving my car.
I've never smoked, but I've been around people that do. What do people feel during/after smoking? It doesn't seem to make people high or hallucinate or anything. It maybe mildly relaxes them?
I've been getting diverted on sidequests, capturing ships, and exploration too much.
But I really don't want to do the Constellation questline yet, I've seen some spoilers and I'm not ready for that . I'm thinking of concentrating on the UC Vanguard or Freestar Collective questlines. Can I complete those without interfering with the Constellation questline?
Just went through a Starfield experience that sort of awed me. Wanted to capture some pirate ships, I took a mission from Freestar Rangers mission terminal to destroy a "Crimson Fleet Captain." I thought it was a person, but that's the name of a ship.
Engaged the ship, battle was fairly easy, took out their engines with EM weapons and boarded the ship. I was immediately blown away by how big and full of stuff the ship was. I've got a couple class B ships, but this one was probably 5 times the size of my Aegis. There were rooms after rooms, a few big open areas, several kitchens and sitting areas, a medical bay, storerooms, weapon rooms, armor mannequins, and a medium size trek-like bridge. The ship had at least 3 levels, and had probably 10-15 pirates to fight. Got to the captain's chair and was able to sit in it because I had leveled up my pilot skill enough. The ship was mine! I did this sort of thing last week with a smaller but impressive ship, but wasn't able to sit in the chair because my pilot skill was too low, so I had to abandon it.
All the time I was fighting my way through the ship I was saying "oh my god" to myself as I saw how much bigger this ship was than the ones I was used to.
For all it's shortcomings Starfield really nailed the ships, they are very unique and even compare very favorably to ships from Space Engineers, Empyrion, and Elite Dangerous. Elite Dangerous ships might give them some design competition but you can't walk around in them IIRC.
ETA: The ship is apparently originally a Crossbow III, it's not all that huge but compared to the starter ship it's massive: https://inara.cz/starfield/ship/1984/
The Biden administration has changed its mind about a Massachusetts state law giving mechanics and car owners access to more diagnostic data.
>Car manufacturers could comply with the law “by using short-range wireless protocols, such as via Bluetooth,” to give owners or independent shops authorized by owners access to the information they need to diagnose issues with and repair vehicles, the letter says.
Hopefully no manufacturers are allowing changes to the vehicle wirelessly. It should be read-only.
Breakthrough raises hopes that musicality of natural speech can be restored in patients with disabling neurological conditions
Sound clip is pretty creepy.
Like ants nesting on a river bank, some only live a few days. A colony could live for many ant generations on a riverbank but when a big flood comes their entire world is wiped out.
