I’m not sure naming an Army base after a Marine would improve morale. I would love to hear the shit talk if that happened though. But yeah I’m sure there are plenty of people worthy of the honor, which a confederate is certainly not.

Unfortunately, most people don’t.

Nice touch of detail.

I’ve seen ads on TV for it. I also happened across Jack Frags streaming a campaign playthrough yesterday on YouTube. I briefly tuned in to see what the campaign was like. His game crashed a few minutes later and he mentioned it was the 4th crash so far during his stream… So I stopped watching. I haven’t bought any COD since the original Black Ops and wasn’t going to buy this one but that did not inspire confidence.

Assisted full self driving is an oxymoron.

The article is about North Carolina. That’s where the devastating flooding outside of flood zones was. Obviously there are wider implications nationwide but it’s not a Florida specific problem.

What surprised me most about Helene was the ground speed. I don’t remember seeing any hurricane make landfall in the US moving at over 20mph. As a casual observer I have anyways seen 12 mph as a quick storm and 6 mph as slow.

They are habitable with the correct building codes. Northern Florida historically got very few hurricanes so the buildings are not hurricane resistant. The fact that their house floated away is the red flag that the home could never survive a hurricane. Houses in South Florida are concrete block exteriors. In the Keys you can’t have any living space at all on the first floor too.

It does make it much more expensive to build but I see that rule becoming necessary in all coastal areas.

The extreme damage will be when hurricanes start making regular landfall in even less historically hurricane prone areas (see Western NC getting hit by the same storm at a fraction of the strength it hit Florida with). We already had hurricane Sandy fuck up NJ. It won’t be pretty when a similar storm hits Philly, NYC, DC, etc.

Western Carolina is a place I have thought would be ok as climate change progresses…

They have a trigger safety. It looks almost like a tiny trigger within the trigger. Essentially means that it will only fire if you pull the trigger. It makes sense for trained personnel since they won’t be pulling the trigger unless they intend to fire and mistakenly leaving a safety on when you need to shoot can get you killed. Still seems very sketchy to me even though I understand that logically, it’s just as safe.

It’s essentially just a jig to use regular utility blades to quickly cut strips of equal width.

He had a knife, had stated he was going to kill them, and was allegedly charging at them. Apparently they also used tasers on him but they were ineffective. But otherwise yes, safety is one factor.

I had never heard about him blowing up Kid Cudi’s car

Nah cut here to open is worse. It’s always an inch above where you actually need to cut.

Interesting. I guess it’s different strokes for different folks. I’m not a fan of the bump on the naked phone but I also have a Spigen case and actually appreciate the bump.

The Pixel 8 is a little big in my hands so with a secure grip, to me being fingers on one edge pressing the phone into my palm, I can’t reach the full screen. It’s also uncomfortable to hold it that way for long periods. So often I have the phone with my fingers on the back and my pointer touches the bump, keeping it from sliding, even at steep angles. I don’t find the corners harsh but maybe they have worn down somewhat so they are no longer as sharp?

He is term limited. He can’t run again.

Right. I mean that it doesn’t take place in the “universe” of Gran Turismo. Which is the criteria I think I would use to consider it a “video game movie”.

Does the Gran Turismo movie count as a “video game” movie? I haven’t watched it but I know the general plot and that Gran Turismo is essentially a driving sim with no storyline (most recent one I played was GT4).

I think of it like if there was a movie about an avid Flight Simulator player has to land a passenger jet after both pilots are incapacitated, I wouldn’t consider it a video game movie. Maybe that’s how they remake Airplane! though.

Most palms do not have thorns. This is the first time I have ever heard this claim. There is 2,600 known species.

But yes they are not shade trees.
