At this point, Trump feels like the sin eater. Everybody knows he's deeply unpopular. Let him put his name on every cursed initiative to cede power to the corporations and see how long you can wait to completely disavow him on his way out the door. Keep the bribers lobbyists happy and minimize fallout from your constituents. Let the billionaire-controlled media spin it up for you.

    I really enjoyed the game, but I may have just gotten lucky with the timing. I wanted a slower paced decision-making game.

    I do think the game would benefit hugely from a Quickplay and/or Challenge mode. The combat was a blast once it got going. That's the biggest thing keeping me from replaying it

    You replied to a blanket statement with a blanket statement. "You still need hearing protection with a silencer," and "No you don't."

    Now you've narrowed the scope.

    In almost all cases the firearm becomes “hearing safe” where one does not need earpro.

    That's good. But don't pretend you weren't wrong to begin with.

    A suppressed .308 report is 147-151 dB. .308 Winchester is by no means an exotic cartridge.

    My "semantic" argument is that if you take a hunting rifle out on the range and run it with a suppressor and no ear protection, you are exceeding the threshold where hearing loss can occur.

    The answer to "You still need hearing protection with a silencer," is not "No," it is "It depends."

    Yeah, I definitely had to come back to this after some coffee. I thought the first two panels were of the same family and this was some weird time progression situation. Couldn't figure out where the other person imagining the scenario in the third panel came from.

    I think the issue is that I know where all the old Superchargers are around me and just assumed they would work. I bought my Ioniq used and they only gave me 20% when I rolled off the lot, so when the first couple chargers I tried didn't work, I had some range anxiety that I hadn't experienced in a long time after 7 years of EV ownership.

    Luckily I found a level 3 CCS1 charger and got enough to get me home. Back to overnight level 2 charging and daily driving is a breeze again.

    I've seen a lot of Sheetz' with EV charging on the East Coast. Decent coffee and Made To Order food. That's worked pretty well.

    It will be interesting to see how well it holds up now that I've traded my Tesla in for an Ioniq5. I didn't realize that a lot of Superchargers don't actually support non-Teslas, even with a NACS to CCS1 adapter.

    It’s time to talk about something Star Wars has been avoiding for some time: recasting its original trilogy characters. There have long been calls for the likes of Luke Skywalker to be portrayed by new actors (Sebastian Stan, anyone?) but it has, by and large, been something that the franchise hasn’t needed to properly confront – until now.

     

    From Steam's self-published stats.

    Baldur's Gate 3 could not be preloaded and weighed in at 125 gigabytes on disk, so when the game left Early Access at 11am US Eastern yesterday, Steam's bandwidth utilization shot up 8x over a span of 30 minutes. I know personally, I saw my download hit over 600 Mbps across a 1 Gbps fiber connection.

    Kudos to the system engineers at Valve. It is mind-boggling that they have built infrastructure that robust.
