"Does it work on my existing equipment?"

"No, but you can spend hundreds of dollars on new equipment and several hours troubleshooting how to get it to work! Isn't that helpful?"

It makes me sad that so few games utilized the potential of the WiiU gamepad. There was this game called Zombie U that managed to really show how incredible it could be. There was a mode where players would be in a zombie wave survival arena except 1 player would instead be controlling the spawns via a map on the gamepad. They could see where the other players were, where the weak spots were, and had their own progression tree to unlock better zombies.

Dune as a whole is bland, generic sci-fi. Ok, I guess that's unfair. When it was written, it was groundbreaking and unique, but it was so good that over time it's tropes have been reused again and again in other sci-fi. So from a modern perspective, it all feels generic.

Stern words from a single person are an insurrection?

I would also accept bringing back gladiatorial combat for people like this. Obviously his teeth and fingernails should be ripped out beforehand though. Fair is fair.

So, are those girls secretly clayface? What is going on with their skin?

You don't have to have a feeling. The data is right there.

Looks like it was 43k active users at the lowest and 46k active users at the highest. That's almost a whole 7%. So if that's your definition of a "lot more activity" then sure!

"Liberals are now finding out..."

"Liberals are starting to understand..."

"Liberals are finally waking up to the fact..."

Fuck anyone who talks like this. The left has been awake and aware of what's going on for a LONG fucking time now. We are also unfortunately aware that we are essentially powerless to stop it. Don't fucking pretend like liberals were blindsided by any of this or had their head in the sand. We saw this coming from a long ways away at a glacial pace and tried our damnedest to inform people and take action. We just happen to also be tied to a stake and gagged, so it's not been very effective.

Yea! And maybe I'll shit a rainbow and fart gold coins!

That message was 5 days ago. I have no love for Bioware or their actions, but maybe we need to wait a little while longer before deciding "how that turned out"?

Golly gee, how awful of me to expect someone who volunteered for a position of authority to actually do something their position requires.

This isn't random bystanders catching flack, these are people who SIGNED UP TO DO A JOB. If I volunteered to help at a soup kitchen and then just never showed up, the soup kitchen has a right to be upset with me. They are, in fact, entitled to be upset with me because I made a promise to help. And then I broke that promise.

 

Is it just a matter of not being worth it? I see cooling towers releasing what appears to be a ton of steam, pretty high up. If that steam were captured at the top and allowed to condense, wouldn't that result in a ton of water with a lot of gravitational potential energy? That water could then be released and used to power water turbines. Maybe I'm overestimating the amount of water being released as steam, or underestimating how much is needed to spin a water turbine to get a meaningful result, but it seems like wasted energy to me.

 

I'm aiming to get the 30k steps in a day achievement and was wondering if the app considered a day as in a calendar day, or if it's 30k steps in 24 hours?

30k steps comes out to about 15 miles. If the app goes off 24 hours, I was considering taking a backpacking trip some weekend and hiking half in an afternoon, stopping for the night, and doing the rest in the morning. But if it goes by calendar, I'd have to adjust my plans.

 

I'm moving across the country in a few weeks and am trying to plan my route as I'll be driving a moving van with a car towed behind it. The entire drive will be 16-17 hours.

Google maps seems limited for searching everything I'd want to take into account for the route (pull through gas stations, height requirements, avoiding mountain highways, etc.) and was wondering if anyone knew of a better way to plan out the trip?
