I’ve never heard of Shermy

It’s probably possible, but I suspect since the whole debacle of Sony selling camcorders with an IR night vision that also “let people see through clothes” when used during the day the manufacturers won’t make it easy to modify.
I have a game wishlisted on Steam called Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic that I’m hoping might prove educational to better understand how that system worked because sometimes it seems so foreign to me.
When you’re here, you’re family
I’m not sure if it’s still the largest in the state, but Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina is a non-profit, but they don’t seem to run in a very not-for-profit way. A long time ago, maybe 20 years ago, the board tried to switch it to a for-profit organization with the stated goal of going public and issuing stock options. The state didn’t allow them to do that, so the board started giving themselves lavish pay raises and arranging executive “retreats” in prime vacation destinations like Hawaii.
I don’t know how their denial rate compares to for-profit insurers, but they are a giant pain to deal with, and we have no other real options for the doctors we see and medications we take.
I was wondering why that was censored in the image
If you enjoy the game you should check out The Traitors with its many international variants. I was surprised to read that the productions provide psychologists to help the contestants as it gets traumatic, but when I watched the first UK season there were a lot of people getting into emotional distress.
There have been a lot of people cast who really shouldn’t be on the show; it’s just a game!
The challenge is, for me anyways, if I know who wins I generally don’t care to watch the match anymore. This means I either need to watch the event live or try really hard to avoid spoilers, generally still trying to watch same-day.
I think a lot of sports fans are like that to some extent and it’s why sports are seen as the last hope for linear TV networks in the face of over-the-top streaming.
I suspect if something was shot on film for distribution in theaters any special effects will look just fine in the scan. If it was shot on film for SD TV the effects probably won’t hold up, but hopefully it’s nothing critical enough to be a big deal!
At first I thought it was funny, but was less impressed in the end
Usually if I’m trying not to disturb someone, like watching something on my phone in bed while my wife’s sleeping I’ll keep audio on mute and have captions on, or doing something else, like having having sports on TV while I do laundry, listening to the announcers then turning to look at the replay when something especially exciting happens.
This is an outlet at my in-laws’ house which was built in the 1960s. I’m not sure if this is just some paint that was put on an outlet and has worn off over time or if this is some residual evidence of sparking/minor electrical fire. The walls are wood panels painted white, so it seems to me someone might’ve just thought they could paint the outlets as well (there are some parts of this basement that don’t have the wood painted and the outlets/switches are dark brown, which might be what I’m seeing). The outlet seems to work but I don’t feel totally comfortable plugging something more expensive like my laptop in, even though I suppose the charger would be more likely to die than the actual computer. The house has a fairly new electrical panel with breakers that seem nice, but it was also built initially as a duplex (with a later addition making it useable as a triplex) and each part has its own old sub-panel that still uses twist-in fuses. I’m still not sure if whoever put in the new panel said the rest of the wiring/outlets was fine or my father-in-law just decided upgrading the rest was too expensive.

Later, during the actual incident
I feel bad laughing because people died, but that’s hysterically bad!
