Interesting model blizz. Create a game. Build a base. Destroy the game and lose part of that base. Re-release original game to claw back former base.

Does the government define “hacking”? I’d imagine not that specific word.

Do you remember Boaty McBoatface?

I had jumped back in when tbc classic was released. I wound up on a dead server. It made end game content essentially impossible. I was hoping to move right into wotlk classic at release as that was my jam back in the day. Except they weren’t going to include the dungeon finder or cross realm groups meaning it would still be a dead server with no chance at end game content. I was done with pointlessly dumb leadership. Unsubbed and found a private server that hits all the right buttons.

Well I don’t want it to come before me!

Obligatory “fuck United”.

They fucked up my vacation a number of years ago and I have since sworn them off. The most generous interpretation of the incident is that I missed an email updating a time change and arrived at the airport after the flight had left. Their next flight wasn’t until the next morning. My wife and I were looking and there was a flight from a different airline that would have cost them $400 each to book for us (they wouldn’t refund us so we could purchase that separately). The first agent at the counter completely understood our request but simply didn’t have the authority to make that decision. So she got a supervisor. The supervisor did that annoying ass thing where they listen to your request and then restate it in objectively different terms to sound unreasonable. In the end they covered a hotel for the night and gave us $550 each in travel vouchers and lost a customer for life. So they ended up paying way more and lost a customer than had they not fucked around from the start. Had they paid the $400 from the beginning, we’d have given them much higher preference on our future flights which have been many.

And ended with her valiantly saving Jon Snow and losing one of her dragons in the process. Yup. That’s where it ended. No more of her character was developed.

Bought Brooklyn 99 on DVD recently since Netflix thought it was great to only put the first 4 seasons up. My biggest regret is that I didn’t look more to find a brick and mortar store to buy from. Best buy doesn’t even carry DVDs anymore.

Objection!

On what grounds?

It’s devastating to my case!

What’s the SorteKanin description of Outer Wilds?

“About a week later right out of the blue she sends me a John Deere letter… Yeah I called her. She gave me a bunch of crap about not listening to her enough. I dunno. I wasn’t really paying attention.”

Did you get that memo?

Oh, I hadn’t even thought of it that way. Good call.

How many tablespoons of water would it take to kill a small town?

I was entirely unaware of this type of vehicle so my initial comment was made without considering them. If there is a market case for such a vehicle, then they would likely fall into that same category.

They aren’t common in the USA because of they way emissions laws were written which made it uneconomical in many cases for auto makers.

This has me insanely curious as to where these are common and what are their emissions laws. Time for a trip down a rabbit hole.

Not so much difficulty but practicality. I would see it being similar to having 2 gas tanks in a car where one is for a high octane fuel and the other for a low performance fuel like ethanol.

If you meant for a single car, that might be a bit lofty, but for options available it makes sense (ie different trim packages for single model sort of thing).

I see it breaking down as follows: Grocery-getter for an old couple won’t need much capacity. Just enough to get around town over the course of a day of needed and can plug in and fully charge overnight from a wall outlet. The other would be a battery capable of larger distances but needs a little bigger outlet to charge between stops of a long trip.

While I don’t fully disrobe, the freedom of pulling one leg out of my pants is amazing. You can get a nice spread going for those times you need to bear down a bit.

if there’s a safety concern that should be handled by regulation

Regulation won’t detail what a company does to that level. They might say something like “fasteners shouldn’t come loose” but it wouldn’t have a torque spec.

If whatever it is is that critical to the safe operation it should be publicly documented so that third parties…

That would run face first into proprietary info and corporate classified info.

I’d temper that by saying a manufacturer would need to provide a reasonable option. Some things could become dangerous or even deadly if repaired incorrectly. Or it could be dangerous or deadly to even attempt to repair it.
