Yes, American gas is heavily subsidised.

What’s the point of a fine if a cyclist or pedestrian has already been run over?

I also had the same issue a couple years ago. I didn’t try testing the RAM because the symptoms led me to believe it was a PSU problem causing random crashes, but eventually something led me to question the CMOS battery, and replacing it fixed everything.

I don’t know if it could cause memory tests to fail though.

For a thousand summers. I will wait for you!

I dunno, I can go to the pharmacy right now and get naloxone for free if I wanted. They give that shit away here.

The Steam Deck performs on par with a PS4. It can run lots of recent AAA games if you turn the graphics down.

For anyone trying to grow dragonfruit, the plant is a cactus, but it doesn’t grow like a typical cactus. It grows like a vine, climbing surfaces with aerial roots.

Also unlike a typical cactus, it needs a ton of water. We’re talking daily watering in the summer months. You can even grow it hydroponically.

I don’t see why trans men would want to be in the girl guides.

Yes, they’ve been buying up smaller studios for decades and shutting them down.

There’s an entire wikipedia page about it.

Nestle is arguably the worst company in the world. EA sucks, but it isn’t even close.

Snoring attentively

Demon’s Souls is one of the more tedious games of the genre. Healing items being consumable means that if you struggle with the game, you’ll oftem have to go grinding for items.

The World Tendency stuff was so opaque that I had to go look up how it worked and how it affected the game, and once I understood it, I didn’t want to have to deal with it. Fortunately it doesn’t matter much for most players and can safely be ignored unless you already know what you’re trying to do.

I loved Nioh. When Nioh 2 went on sale, I picked it up cheap, and played about an hour.

The lazy way to beat them is to pile on the armor until you can barely roll, stack any stat buffs you can, buff your weapons, tank most of the damage, and heal when you need to.

Havel’s armor has heavy poise and you can take some good hits without staggering.

If you have pyromancy, Power Within is a good attack and stamina buff.

How slow are we talking? All my GOG downloads through Heroic have always been as fast as my connection allows. It sounds like there may be another issue at play.

Is there a VPN involved?

I have a couple dev friends who were told by management that they need to be using AI, and they hate it.

It’s the same sense of the word. In language terms, meta is self-referential. In gaming terms, the metagame is the game within the game.

Often, games turn into a rock-paper-scissors format where three different strategies fight for dominance to the exclusion of anything non-meta.

The meta becomes the meta because as people start using it, it becomes required to win.

It doesn’t mean you can’t play without it, you just can’t be competitive without it. Some people want to have fun playing games, and some people want to be good at games. And some people can’t have fun unless they’re winning.

For Everest in particular, Base Camp 1 is at about 4000m IIRC, and that’s where ascents typically start after some time to acclimate to the already high altitude.

That was always allowed, even for the non-autopen ones. In fact, I think lots of people are surprised it hasn’t happened sooner.

The whole point of an EO is that it’s supposed to be just a policy, not a law. The next government coming in can just cancel all these policies and institute new ones.
