Not to defend them or minimize the corporate stupidity, but it sounded like there were less than 100k people affected out of tens of millions (100m?) accounts. I get that it was a big deal for those affected, but a 0.1% outage doesn’t seem “major”.

The miracles never cease!

There’s a lot of red in the state. Unfortunately, that’s also where much of the most beautiful (and affordable) areas are. There are blue enclaves, though. All in all it can be awesome.

creates environmental damage, tons of space debris, and ... wasting fuel.

So, pretty much, the things that humans excel at.

This is buying into the Republican way of thinking, which is that you criticize someone's performance for any shortcoming you feel. A progressive stance is to elevate other people (There is more than one person in Government) who are doing things correctly without tearing down the current leader. It s the difference between a collaborative government and a competitive one. Within a (generally speaking) unified political block which values diversity of opinions, a collaborative approach is much more productive than a competitive one.

The strength of a movement is in the sum of the effort.

Fun fact: the USA is the largest producer of oil in the world, extracting 50% more than it's closest rivals (Russia and SA) annually. And we've been on top for years.

Still cheaper than inkjets

But what if I just like the taste?

 

I mean, the title is mostly it. I haven’t played DnD for…long enough that I know none of the rules and few of the classes. I didn’t play BG or BG2.

It looks so shiny, but I’m afraid I would just be 100% lost. Can anyone say what it’s like to go in cold?

 

I did Iceland last fall, solo, as a 6 day whirlwind tour around the loop road (yes, it was awesome). This fall (late Oct) I'm getting 4 days with the wife and am looking for the coolest excursions around the Golden Circle, which I mostly skipped last year. We'll be staying south of the GC in Selfoss with a small 4WD vehicle, but don't intend to go offroad.

Both of us are semi-fit (lol-American) so casual hiking is great, but probably should keep it to 10 km / 500-600m rise for a single hike, and under 15-18km a day total. Free is nice, but for something really cool we could spring $150-200pp for a tour.

Oh, and I'd like to find a hot spring that is not as pricey or as busy as Blue Lagoon; ideally quiet and casual.

 

Mods - let me know if this is not allowed (there's no sidebar here yet). Asking $410 plus actual shipping costs. Great condition, 3 silicone lens covers (hey, I was paranoid), two 3rd party batteries with 3-slot charger, 3D printed Me Mode cover/cap in thermoplastic polyurethane (soft rubber). For this price I will transfer the remainder of my Extended Damage warranty, which is good for an additional 2.2 years (until ~October 2025) purchased via Amazon/Asurion which covers both defects and accidental damage. Due to the warranty, it has to be a US transaction. DM me if interested, I have both photos of the unit and accessories as well as photos taken by the unit. Obviously real names/addresses/contacts will have to be swapped to transfer the warranty and will be done via email.

Note: I'm moving to the One 360 for better indoor light response as most of my work is the design and renovation of buildings and the lighting when I'm reviewing the as-built structure is usually poor. The X3 is good, but the One is better and, for my work, worth the increased cost. Outdoors the X3 is great.

 
 

I might have to look more into my state's right to be forgotten law. I used PDS for about 2 weeks until no more zombie posts were in my profile (most resurrected by the opening of closed subs). I was cleaning out some gaming book marks and clicked on a reddit thread I'd kept and, lo and behold, I found myself in the comments. Except I'd purged all of those. And searching for myself yields no results. This is...disappointing.

Those terrible cardboard things that you just never knew what you were going to get until they were developed? I decided on my last trip I'd make up a pretend set of prints to share with my online friends. Below is the sample. I knew there'd be some really exciting shots, so I ordered double prints when I sent it in for processing. Woo Hoo!!

(apologies if (semi-)humor posts are not allowed here)

 

Just pulled up a map of downtown to search for the intersection my budget and convenient lodging for a week in Amsterdam. The wife is a huge history nut and I mostly like looking at the architecture. No clubbing, nothing stronger than beer, no threesomes. Roughing it, when we're on vacay as a couple, is defined as a "major flag hotel that doesn't have 24 hour room service." We'd like to explore as much as possible on foot (/public transportation). We're totally down for a boutique apartment, though, if one comes up.

Anyone have a favorite semi-posh location that can be had for <$200 night in the shoulder season (October-ish).
