Getting hit on at the polls is a great way to make voting even more uncomfortable.

Best to stick to polite chit chat, and otherwise avoid bothering people when they’re voting.

They still only have potable water in portions of their municipal water lines. The amount of damage to their municipal water system was pretty crazy.

I’m not OP and I haven’t been there since before Helene so I don’t have first hand updates.

All of the OP’s points could be said about church sermons as well, and yet there’s still thousands of church gatherings every week.

So I think your point hits the nail on the head. People don’t go to these large gatherings because they’re looking for a presentation of convincing arguments, books and recordings are better for that. They go to experience the sense that they are part of something bigger than themselves. They want to feel like they are contributing to something important, and a large crowd all in unison makes them feel that way. Rallies aren’t meant to change minds, they’re meant to get the base excited to donate/ volunteer/ talk to anyone who will listen.

Thanks, I hate it

There’s no risk for a factory condition unit. This rumor started after people with units that had been dissasembled and reassembled had issues with vertical orientation. It turned out that it’s very easy to mess up the seals that keep the liquid metal thermal interface in place. So units that had been previously taken apart had liquid metal slowly leak, causing overheating and/or shorting.

If you haven’t taken the cooler off the mainboard, using the vertical stand is just fine. I haven’t seen any evidence of factory assembled units suffering leaking. It does imply that user servicing of ps5’s is a bit risky, and you might need to be wary of used units where you don’t necessarily know the service history.

To avoid unnecessary confusion, taking the covers off to add an m.2 ssd does not add any risk.

I can’t claim to have much experience in the matter, but I don’t think people who just chill generally have chariots fitted with iron. Like if your neighbor happened to have a tank and a bunker, would you say they’re just chilling?

The cabin is usually pressurized to the equivalent of 8000 ft asl. So the dispenser does have to deal with pressure changes. A simple vent hole aught to take care of that though.

I can’t launch minecraft without first opening the microsoft app store signing out, then signing back in.

Well a hearty well done to everyone involved. And thank you for showing it to us. It is refreshing to see examples of people building up their community when the majority of news focuses on negative events.

How many people did it take to get this done? It looks fantastic for something that is just getting started.

Well my goal is more of a “get out” than “get ahead.” But maybe that attitude is why I’m not more of a winner.

Dang, guess I should have invested mine like you instead of putting it toward student loans.

The future is now, old man

Yeah, but it has a coefficient of performance of 1. Heat pumps pull in heat from outside and can have coefficients of performance over 3 averaged over the seasons. So a toaster is less than a third as effective as heat pumps.

The old mechanics are present, but there’s a lot of new mechanics. There’s also actual character dialog and story. If you liked the first at all, I think you’ll like the second. It adds a lot more than just pretty graphics.

Easily one of the top 5 games I’ve played in the last few years. If you like puzzle games, this is worth checking out.

We don’t even have AGI at datacenter scale. Expecting AGI in a mobile platform that runs off batteries is just wishful thinking at this point.

I wonder how much they’ll be able to learn through thoroughly inspecting the flown hardware. That’s not a luxury they’ve had up until now. I would imagine it’s way easier to figure out exactly how minor issues manifested when they can go through the booster with a fine toothed comb.

Prime video should also have to sink or swim on its own.
