Is Flayra not pursuing legal action against Krafton over this?

My city closed a two block stretch of road for a day this week. Instead of a sign or cones, they had cops just park their cruisers across the lanes with their lights on and sat there all day.

Well the cops put some cones around their cruisers too, but this way about six got a full days salary, if not that overtime pay.

A bit, yeah. Same username then as today. I was with NSArmsLab and BAD Clan mostly those days.

Weird to think that was 20+ years ago.

I remember Flayra from Natural Selection, a half-life mod twenty years ago. I remember him making appeals for investors/donations to keep Unknown Worlds afloat (or maybe just launch it as a company. I recall a video he posted where he showed us his tiny apartment and the milk in his fridge.)

Then Subnautica came out years later and I thought ‘Well I’ll be damned.’

I have a steak maybe once a year, usually as a sudden or persistent craving. But other than that it was amazingly easy to convert to poultry for all my regular recipes. Very easy step to make without much thought.

Reducing dairy is my dietary wall.

Putin’s power draws from his adversaries and foreign policy. He is very weak domestically, mostly at the behest of the oligarchs that run the entire domestic policy show.

Putin muscling around internally usually has to do with the oligarch’s stance on foreign policy or the other oligarchs are wanting to eat one of their own.

Obligatory response to this meme e’er time, “Sigh, if it’s on septic its massively expensive infrastructure the tenant will be held liable for 10/10 times, and will only render one less living space habitable. And if it’s on sewer it’s punishing the public’s wastewater treatment facility.”

Aand resume.

The last scraps of the warehouses are being empyied out.

Also with labor shortages even the product that gets harvested ends up languishing in poor storage at various stages before it reaches the store. Instead of a quick pickup with a refigerated semi, you’re getting vans a few hours late. The boxes sit in the field for longer, etc. (Anecdote from a berry farm in my area.)

It was a conversation from a year ago, so without context I believe I was speaking then about a viable strategy that worked: bringing a left wing policy (at the time healthcare reform) to the conservatives and red states.

The Democratic Party abandoned that strategy since. They still made overtures to appeal to conservatives and red states, but they’ve done it through adopting rightwing, divisive policies. And then they don’t even run a US Senate race is Nebraska.

Look, I know you’ve long ago tagged me the tankie and yourself as the chad, it’s whatever. But you need to stop calling yourself a shitlib.

At any rate the criticism in both cases is the rejection of those ‘empty land’ folks. It is consistent. I supported it then and I support it now. What I don’t support is then turning around and dismissing those people and states as empty land. This isn’t rocket surgery.

I think you don’t understand what I initially said in this thread here, and have taken that personally.

Finish the sentence and close the loop: “and then refer to Sanders support as ‘empty land.’” The comment makes sense as a complete thought. By cutting out the conclusion you definitely make it confusing.

…and did you just go through a years worth of my post history for a screenshot? I know you go through and downvote my post history, but man.

And yeah, I still support my own point, now and from a year ago, because I don’t dismiss the support as empty land.

What was the point of that?

Imagine relentlessly defending attempts to appeal to red states and conservatives as a viable electoral strategy, and then refer to Sanders support on this map as ‘empty land’.

They don’t but the word processing software they likely use autocorrects them in. What’s next, proper semi-colon use and Oxford commas means you’re a bot?

Spelling & Grammar tool just wreaking havok.

I just knew the comments were going to be us tearing each other apart.

That’d be point of re-re-re-rehashing this. Zohran Mamdani, using the big S word, recently won a primary. So now we all gotta go back and drag through this mud some more.

I think like seven people on the bus would fight to swerve towards the cliff if they were told China is on the edge of it.

Protip: in small talk/office chitchat C is often functionally D.

For flooding it is a typical estimation from modelling from things like topography maps and known precipitation events. It is all rough estimations without collecting monitoring data, which is what funding for these agencies tend to be used for.

It requires a lot of information to accurately model and predict if any given river valley can handle 1.75 inches in a 3 mile radius in 4 hours, versus 3.25 inches in a 1 mile radius in 2 hours. How much does a 0.2 inch rainfall event in the previous 24 hours impact? What about 1 inch in the same area in 24 hours? (And so on.)

I find marionberry jam to be the superior option along with raspberry, although I agree strawberry is better than grape.

However I have never tried white/gold grape jam (made from green grapes) which I’ve often seen spiced, so I imagine that might have potential.
