Can you share the pattern? I’ve never done this, but would like to try and this is sweet!

Despite his appearance and delivery, i always thought Norm was the most “punk rock” comedian. He actually stood for something, stood by his friends and was true to himself. I did not always agree with his bits… But i never thought he was outright hateful. I think he tried to touch on the humorous or more absurd elements of society, with his commentary. Which was mostly the stuff i liked least… However, i believe that while Norm may not have understood some of these things, he wasn’t intolerant of them.

Norm was about as big of an anti-celebrity, celebrity as i can think of. He always seemed eager to be silly and to laugh, and to love his small group of friends. I’m fairly cemented as being left of center, and i adored Norm.

Check out “project farm” on YouTube. He has an excellent channel and had vids for puncture repair kits, portable compressors and jump packs. He is great.

Thank God… Or the EU regulations… Whichever.

Its nuts that during the Obama admin, all anyone cared about was the threat of zero privacy. Now everyone in the US has surrendered to it, because our politicians have sold our digital privacy rights to the tech companies.

My opinion of the show in general is wildly unpopular. I thought it was terrible from ep1. I thought it was rife with bad/terrible acting AND writing. I didnt finish the first season until years later, when i gritted my teeth to watch through it. I managed to arrest my hater nature, and began to sort of enjoy it for what it was… then the terrible last two seasons happened.

I do believe at the end of the day, that the more terrible aspects of the show were due to first it being an unknown entity… and the network went cheap on the first couple of seasons to hedge their bets. lmost all of the rest of it was due to D&D.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided I would, against my better judgement give HOTD a shot. It was not as bad, but the effects were so terrible I turned it off. How a network can murder a golden goose twice over is past me.

I know not many people are as critical as I am of this stuff… I dont begrudge other people enjoying the shows. Its just not for me.

I bought an Infinite Discs Slinger… It is a sling pack, not a backpack, but it has worked for me so far. I would probably prefer a backpack of some sort, but I dont have a ton of discs, and I am a big dude… so I feel like a backpack would be a waste of money, since the straps are never comfortable across my broad shoulders.

The Slinger is 25 bucks on Amazon, and while it lacks bells and whistles… ti will carry a bottle of water, has a zip pocket for keys and wallet or whatever… a mesh pouch on the outside i pack three or four discs in, then room for another nine or so inside. It also comes with a clip for a towel, or whatver you want to hang off of it.

" Fran Drescher! I place you in charge of SAG. The studios are yours to squeeze, as I promised. I want you to squeeze and squeeze and squeeze! Give me fair contracts! Drive them. Drive them into utter submission! Do not show the slightest pity or mercy! Never stop. Go. Go! Show no mercy! "

Man i used to love KRS… But that MFer is off the tracks crazy.

I turned off cloud saves for it. It was murdering my patience when a friend would ask me to play another game while I was in a bg session. I cant figure out if it uploads ALL saves, or just the most recent. I quick save a ton, so i guess i could be to blame… But since im only playing on one pc, and not on my deck, i dont need the cloud save atm.

My opinion is that Odetta makes the next book hard to read, but the next book is really strong… So it maybe worth the trip. Imo King isnt the best author cover to cover… But his highlights are undeniable. So id urge you to keep going.

Conservatives everywhere are up in arms that THEY had to pay their loans, but the corpses dont have to. “nobody wants to work” they collectively mutter.

Thanks! I will check him out!

well, in the grand scheme of things, all of those modes of storage came and went relatively quickly, and the internet almost completely outmoded the need for portable tech…for more static usage, even HDDs are being replaced by SSDs… and all companies want to us to migrate even that to the cloud, to more centralize and profit from that.

I was a kid in the 80s, and had a Commodore 64, with a floppy dirve. These were 5.25" (or “five and a quarter inch”) floppy discs… They were somewhat durable, you could write to both sides of the floppy, and they were (relative to tape drives) fast. Interesting note for those who werent around to experience these… the difference between a double sided disk, and a single sided disk, was a notch on the left side of the disk. You could double side a single sided disk with a hole punch.

When 3.5" disks came about, I thought they were amazing… However, I was also a broke ass kid, and didnt actually get a pc until the early 90s… By that time HDD storage was much cheaper, and cd roms were starting to make their way onto the scene. My personal preference for mass portable storage was never the CD, because I felt like the writing software was always finicky, the 10000000 types of discs were a pain to decipher, and because I loved the ease and durability of a now forgotten device… the iomega zip drive. (RIP) But the cd’s were much cheaper to produce, and iomega went the way of the dodo.

Sorry if I got off track, and danced around both sides of the timeline for the 3.5’ers. I figure you were aware of the 5.25s, and the storeage after it… please dont read that as being condescending. It just triggered old memories, and I thought I would share, and you might find it interesting! In my timeline of computing, the 3.5 was significant, but less so that the 5.25… this is because the 5.25s were something I needed to play every game, every time I wanted to play it. So I would use it everytime I played a game. Sometimes several times if the game spanned many discs… (for example, ultima 4 used two disks, and both sides of each disk. So if you entered an area it might ask you to insert the “dungeon disk, side b”, etc.) By the time I got a pc, the 3.5s were something you used to install a game to a HDD… so handling the disk was pretty much only at install.

Thanks!

From all I have read, he is far overpaid and far underperforming… so good riddance to bad rubbish. However, I suspect it is harder now, more than ever, to draw students here, regardless of the leadership.

Same… Imo he is the face of quackery.

I don’t hate anything about it really. I do think they should probably nerf the shit out of resilience however. Lol

I also strongly wish they would just add RJ randomly to maps, regardless of whether there are 1 or 2 bosses present.
