I suppose that literally answers my question. Lol

I just imagine the most emaciated wastelander actively bleeding out and barely limping along but stopping to just, like, take in the awe of the moment, man.

It's insane to me that judges can just make these stupid ass rulings that are obviously wrong and just never face any consequences. Like why hasn't that lower court judge been removed from his position for clearly making a biased ruling to protect a sexual abuser???

My wife was a Christian when we started dating, but her opinions on LGBTQ+ issues made her start questioning her faith which led her to leave the faith altogether by the time we were married.

I've amended my comment to make it more clear. I didn't mean to imply the app sends your data to third parties, only that the company who owns it profits off of third party information brokering. Where that information comes from is beside the point in my opinion.

PSA: Nova Launcher's owning company sells their user data. It was a good launcher when it first came out, but it's been nothing but a downward spiral from there.

Edit for clarity: I don't mean the app itself. It is owned by an entity that exists to sell consumer data.

Edit again: I was wrong. TIL about EPR Torx. Just search that and you should find the right set.

Yeah, that's just the stance you take when shooting from a standing position in competition. It's really awkward at first, but it does improve the stability of your aim significantly.

Well, the others are using pistols, while he's using a rifle.

I was told this as a fast food manager: do not admit fault, only apologize for the situation the person is experiencing. The second you admit fault, they said, you admit liability for any damages, real or imaginary.

Zelda taught me how to read. Or, more accurately, I learned to read so that I could play Ocarina of Time and know what the hell I was doing.

This seems like a CYA by Intel. They're saying that there was a manufacturing issue causing oxidation, by that's not why their CPUs were failing. That was caused by a voltage issue that can be patched, but the bricked CPUs will be refunded/replaced. Like, why admit to two separate issues being present in your product, as a manufacturer, unless it's to mitigate the blowback from one issue in the first place. I don't buy it.

I wish I could've enjoyed some hallucinogens before my memory went to shit. I'm just hoping it's my ADHD and not early onset dementia. 🙃
