The days of dial up were the wild west online. Waiting sometimes hours for your music and porn to download through Kazaa or Limewire. And inevitably getting something totally unrelated just to troll you.

Police should be required to carry insurance like doctors. Uninsurable? Unhireable.

Yeah it’s really more about monitoring usage and educating them. The tablet/phone is not a babysitter, but many parents seem to treat it like one.

I bet you 90% of those didn’t have any parental controls or even parents monitoring their usage after the fact.

This isn’t a new concept by a long shot. This type of mystery bag is a staple in Japan. Gacha systems are everywhere.

Hell, you have to enter a lottery just to get a chance to stand in line to buy launch products for almost everything.

You’re an idiot woth a death wish if you have food allergies and are going to a fast food place. Everything contaminates everything in those kitchens.

These posts are ALWAYS on Facebook. It’s fascinating what the platform has become from its original roots.

You know, with that perspective it makes perfect sense now. They want the priests to do exactly that, supposedly originally to prevent bloodline dynasties, but who can really say given the secretive nature of so much shit they do at the highest levels. So if the priests can do it as an act of supposed devotion, so should every random gay person.

Meanwhile we see the priests that have devoted their lives to the church definitely cannot manage to do that, so expecting random people to is fucking ridiculous.

Forgiveness is a requirement because actually abiding by the rules is impossible. It is designed that way so you’re obligated to seek forgivenes and stay within the church’s influence.

Not by a long shot. There’s a reason Steam has an entire section of the library page that shows controller compatibility. Not to mention Big Picture mode and all the living room gamers. Keyboard sand mouse on a couch is terrible, no matter what hardware you have or how you try to convince yourself it’s not.

I personally use a controller 99% of the time. In both casual and competitive games.

I totally forgot about the Guardians game. I don’t think I ever finished it. Got lost in the hustle and bustle of life.

Gonna have to go back through that.

You still gotta suck that Boba straw though.

You say this as if things like variable speed compressors, multiple compressor stages, and designs other than the generic mostly empty box with an open vertical fan on top don’t exist for air conditioners as well.

Your previous air conditioner was designed for its intended purpose. Based on your description it almost certainly didn’t have the hardware to function as a heat pump, so being inoperable during a snowy winter wasn’t an issue, given it’s designed use. On the other end, it was the house I’m in has had three air conditioning units over its lifetime. None of them were an open vertical design like that, and I’m in AZ where snow is irrelevant.

You’re talking about equipment designed for the intended use case of cold weather that takes environmental aspects like snow accumulation into account for its design instead of ignoring it, and acting like that is some sort of new technology. It’s just better designed and not just the cheapest shit they can get people to buy. Whoever bought an exposed air conditioning unit like that in an area with regular snow was an idiot that clearly did zero research.

Oh Pearson definitely does thst as well. But not everyone lives near or has reliable transit to a testing facility. Online testing is essentially a requirement for those people.

Kitchen scales measuring accuracy and to a hundredth of a gram for instance.

Pearson is a testing company. They use all sorts of sketchy shit under the guise of anti-cheating. Much of that requires specific plug-ins and stuff that only work in Windows.

Even if you could get it working, but they’ll likely just say you were cheating, and take the $300+ you paid to take that required test.

Unfortunately she gave the GOP time to search for a sycophant candidate they can shovel in there.

Well of course. He was a Russian Asset “Krasnov”, and had tens of millions of dollars in loans from them. And he’s always been open about admiring Putin.

Do you think he personally signs the checks?

Of course not. Just like he doesn’t personally handle the payments for his businesses that don’t pay contractors. I guarantee it was his decision to actively not pay them though.

I don’t know why you keep wanting to talk about snap

Because it’s a recent example of the Trump administration actively choosing not to make payments that are owed, and are even normally handled automatically.

Not sure how you’re missing the relevance to whether they are not making other owed payments related to similar events.

It’s always been that way. The ones ones that ever claimed differently were those people. Because they couldn’t comprehend the thought that they didn’t earn and deserve what they were actually handed.
