I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't mean that much, if anything OpenRA is ahead of what the original engine was. The only issue is saw with OpenRA's engine was the odd unit pathing every now and then, so perhaps that could be one thing for them to look at (not that it was consistently great in C&C)

I just wish they had some way to host photos as well. My main use of maps app has been to understand what a place looks like/whether I wanna go there, or myself add some photos so others can. However, I do fear this would require strong moderation and a lot of overhead on platform like Organic Maps, unless they utilized a rather small select community for contributions.

If there's no security guarantees, then this war will just drag on and yea hopefully either someone sensible will cancel this or Ukraine does something clever that results in state not owning any rare earths/metals/minerals directly, ensuring this agreement becomes worthless.

My money is on de-lidded 2nd hand being passed as own build, until we see a picture...

Surprised the NYPD isn't on his ass with those eyebrows

Probably saw a rise in sign ups from Canada and Brazil....thanks to RFDers who spotted deals that make the plus sub for 2 years for equivalent of 39 CAD

I'll probably try Project Rubi-ka when they reopen the servers/help them out with some bug hunting, since Anarchy Online, despite its flaws, is still the best MMORPG I've played to date.... which is kinda sad tbh

There are people out there who genuinely try to help others out with providing a reference - probably something that gets discussed outside of a general post like this (saw something similar mentioned on Reddit or maybe it was twitter years ago?), however there are also those who seem to take either take a payment for it or provide a half-assed reference.

I had an experience with requesting a reference for a hire we needed to urgently get onboard. Took it upon myself to keep chasing them for response (HR was useless in the company). And despite being seemingly provided three different people to contact (different names, numbers in different parts of country), this clown had one and the same person giving a very simple repetitive answer. Now you can expect references to sound similar, but if you're not gonna bother changing your voice (or asking different people to provide ref) at least make sure not to use the exact same uncommon phrase like an idiot.

I myself provided a reference to former colleagues before, written being easier as you get to think about what you want to say. Over the phone being but of a PITA, especially if they have specific questions and you don't necessarily have a good answer.

That's what happens when one side is pretty damn reasonable (IMO) and the other are greedy management cunts.

Idiot couldn't handle his new toy in the rainy Metro Vancouver [OC]

Managed to hit the concrete barriers on both sides of a 3 lane highway. Luckily didn't hit anyone but traffic was about 3km long and hour later and caused another accident within the traffic jam itself.

Edit:grammar, and obligatory - I took the frame from my partner's video who captured it for me, as I was busy avoiding the debris scattered all over the highway trying not to get a puncture. I don't touch my phone while I drive, and hope you don't either.
