What did they do to you?

Zenni offers ID blocking glasses. A friend has them. They look perfectly normal. Can’t say how well they work but it stops Apple face ID perfectly well.

Really thought I’d see a picture of some dude from Ipswich, with a takeout bag and some Pantene looking surprised.

Finnish could be interesting just because it’s part of the Uralic language family which is rare and nearly unique in the modern world. Not much else like it.

And Tagalog is notoriously difficult for new speakers if you want a challenge. My roommate in college was from Manila and it’s definitely interesting.

In car nav systems are nowhere near as up to date and useful as maps or Waze. And updating them is often as clunky as a new windows install. Some can only be updated by the dealer. It feels 20 years behind to use the systems offered by a lot of car companies.

I know him from many things but he’ll always be…

Gallagher, here.

True but still more likely. These things are built into the POS and it’s unlikely that a server can alter them, and my admittedly limited experience with the industry still convinced me that if you want to find a scumbag in a restaurant it’s 4 times more likely to be management than servers.

Yeah repost or not, I took it actually sweet.

Didn’t Ares actually say that, like as a character quirk?

Speaking of cyberpunk, think all his random kids are just bodies he’s sure he can download his brain into when he gets old? 🤔

I like this idea. I don’t know how modern cognitive science corroborates the idea or not.

But just to tuck this away in the thread, not to derail it: I think the point of the text in the image is much simpler, as the last response is meant to make us understand. The real “first thought” is “I’m a bad person.” After some reflection and careful analysis, the poster comes around to, “I’m just a teensy bit hypocritical.”

We can forgive ourselves for knee-jerk reactions if we put effort into not letting them poison our relationships with the world and other people. I have no idea if that should apply to Mel Gibson.

I also think this is the “Hippie Trail” referenced in Down Under by Colin Hay / Men at Work.

I can certainly understand not liking it. Besides it’s offensive social takes, it’s definitely not what a typical Resident Evil game is supposed to be. But a buddy and I spent years trying to find good coop game experiences and as far as games that actually sculpt and tend to the coop part as opposed to just throwing a coop mode in at the last moment, very few come anywhere close to the effort to put into this one. On harder difficulties it’s actually a really interesting challenge that’s not just about bullet sponges or grinding for better gear but about strategy and effective teamwork.

If you can get past its extremely questionable social issues, I’ve never played a co-op combat game as well designed and implemented as resident evil 5. It forces you to work together in a variety of challenges and unexpected ways. It keeps you both focused on mutual goals. And if you don’t work together with situational awareness and effective communication, you will not succeed. I really wish it sold better because I’ve never seen a company since put as much effort into co-op design except maybe the “it takes two” and “a way out” guy. But those aren’t shooters.

" I only hope we gave her a great life."

Her face in that pic says you did. I wish you and your family healing and good memories as soon as you feel ready.

YSK: Watch to the end to see the dog demonstrate they know how to skateboard and steer!

" probably when its flying away from the missile launcher and is thus showing its big hot ass… "

Stupid, sexy joint strike fighter.

A number of companies make “tuned” ear plugs to allow some sound through with a desired frequency curve, but reduce SPL to safe levels. I’ve used Etymotic, which sound great but I personally like a little more reduction. Alpine which I thought had enough reduction but too much coloring, and I settled on Earpeace, for like $25 on-line. Silicone, re-usable and easy to clean and they come with three filters to swap in or out depending on your needs / tastes.

Loomer already beat her:
