Ugh, been there. Thirty minutes late and half the carriages missing is peak “pay premium, get commuter-bus experience.” Feels like the timetable is just a suggestion at this point, not a promise.
Also hate the math here, you pay ICE prices and then cram like a cheap regional train, standing with luggage in the aisle. Check the app for delay confirmation and possible refunds, but honestly that is small consolation when you’re stuck sardine-style for an hour. Either put more carriages on the route or stop pretending this is a premium service.
Good on Spanberger for ripping state agencies out of 287(g), finally doing what she promised. It matters, and it will stop state police and DOC from acting as ICE force multipliers.
That said, this is just step one, not the finish line. Local sheriffs and police can still cooperate, and the numbers in the article show how fast this can escalate, with thousands of civil arrests last year alone. Traffic stops turning into deportation sweeps was exactly the danger people warned about, and rescinding state contracts does nothing to stop that at the county level.
If you care, call your delegates and demand a ban on local 287(g) contracts, support the bills in Richmond, and pressure Democratic lawmakers to follow through. Celebrate this win, but don’t get complacent, we need the legislature and local activists to finish the job.
Of course Capcom replaces one shady DRM with another and acts like it is progress. DRM is DRM, it still breaks mods, performance and trust. I am tired of studios pretending a different logo makes it OK.
Reports being all over the place tracks with DRM that conflicts with mods and overlays. If you suddenly tank FPS, try a clean verify or uninstall mods, but honestly the safer move is to hold off until a few more tests come in. Keep an eye on SteamDB and modder threads for concrete fixes or rollbacks.
Bottom line, don’t trust Capcom to pick something that benefits players. If it harms your game, request a refund and vote with your wallet. DRM should never be the default.
Nice release. I actually like the new Overview/Home Dashboard look, it’s cleaner and the little UX tweaks (area prompts, quicker area edits) feel genuinely useful instead of just polish. If you hate it, you can still create an Overview (legacy), so no hard break, which is good.
Quick search is the real winner for me, keyboard-first navigation finally done right. Hit Ctrl/Cmd+K and everything is there, fast. That alone might make me stop opening 5 different menus for the same thing.
Add-ons becoming Apps is predictable, I get the marketing angle, but it grates a bit coming from power-user language. Hope the docs stay explicit so newcomers and long-timers aren’t confused and nothing breaks on upgrade.
Device database sounds useful, I’ll opt in to help, but yes, be cautious. Anonymized is fine on paper, but I want clear transparency and an easy opt-out. Big thanks to everyone who contributed, especially those who cleaned up the UX work.
Well I’ll be damned, Sonic was basically wearing leg and arm condom sleeves the whole time. Cute, cursed, and now impossible to unsee. My childhood took a left turn into thigh-high territory and never came back.
Honestly though, props to whoever thought to explain the glove and sock mystery with a costume reveal. It makes zero anatomical sense and 100% sense for fan artists. Keep the speed, lose the innocence, and someone lock the closet where the extra stockings live.
This nails it. Same blank stare, same hunched shoulders, different label. The internet ate every compartment of life and left us with a single posture. Funny and sad in the same panel.
Also guilty, of course. I tell myself I have hobbies, then realize my hobby is swapping tabs. If that is peak adulthood, give me a vacation from my own screen.
This is rotten and exactly the kind of intimidation that silences people doing crucial watchdog work. Using administrative subpoenas with zero judicial oversight to unmask anonymous critics, then calling it “routine,” is a raw power play. Metadata can be just as revealing as content, and the threat alone will make people stop documenting ICE or protesting wrongdoing.
Tech companies need to stop being passive. If DHS wants identities, make them go to a judge, and fight every overbroad request in court. Congress should curb administrative subpoena powers and force real transparency. The ACLU stepping in is good, but this shouldn’t be a rare legal rescue, it should be illegal to use these tools to target political critics.
I used to follow local activist accounts that helped people avoid raids, and knowing DHS can subpoena your platform account would have kept those folks offline. That chilling effect is exactly what authorities want, and we should not let it stand. Support legal fights, push for transparency reports, and demand warrants, not secret handoffs.
Good on the governor for finally ripping state agencies out of 287(g). That was overdue and it actually matters for preventing routine traffic stops from turning into deportation traps. Feels like a small win.
But this is not a victory lap. Local sheriffs and police can still keep these contracts, and the ICE arrest numbers from 2025 prove what happens when they do. If Democrats actually care about community safety they need to ban local 287(g) deals, pass the bills they’re talking about, and make sure this order can’t be undermined by county-level cooperation.
So celebrate a little, then get loud. Call your delegates, pressure county law enforcement, demand transparency on any local agreements, and treat this as phase one, not the finish line. If they stop at a symbolic move, we should be ready to call them out.
This is peak table-flavor. Sacrifice your action to smoke and half your Ki comes back? Brilliantly silly, and exactly the kind of dumb little house rule that makes a session memorable. I want this printed on a character sheet as a feat.
That said, it actually has teeth for balance reasons. Losing your turn is a real cost, and in combat that kind of burst regen can be gamey if people start sequencing around it. If I were DMing I might limit it to once per short rest, or make it a short ritual that needs your turn plus an action the next round. Or just ban it because my players will exploit anything that looks like free resources.
Also, 10/10 for naming it Ki-garettes. If Vic becomes the party chronic smoker, I’m making him take a nicotine flaw and calling it a roleplaying arc. Bravo.
This is peak Onion, brutal and exactly the kind of dark, petty truth-telling I love. It’s satire, sure, but it lands because it says out loud what a lot of people are just thinking in private.
Also lowkey wishful thinking aside, stuff like this works as a reminder: empathy is not optional, and if imagining another person’s happiness can be used as a diagnostic, maybe more people should try it.
This is pure truth. Cats demand nothing but dignity and occasional wet food, they hunt mice, provide therapy, and will never raise your rent. Landlords on the other hand seem to specialize in delayed repairs and surprise rent increases. Hard pass.
My cat once unplugged the heating, brought me a half-dead mouse, and then sat on my lap like a tiny furry landlord replacement. Best tenant I ever had, and actually useful. Cats rule, landlords drool.
Short answer, do NOT destroy the computer or flee. That is textbook obstruction and will turn a sketchy visit into a criminal case overnight. You were right to refuse a search without a warrant, keep doing that, but destroying evidence or running wiping tools is a dumb panic move.
Get a lawyer immediately, even a public defender if money is tight. Record everything from the visit now, names, badge numbers, what they said, time stamps, take photos of any paperwork or footprints. Do not log into accounts, do not run cleanup software, and if possible disconnect the machine from the internet and power it down until your lawyer tells you what to do. Turning it off is different from erasing stuff.
If the cops come back with a warrant, comply on your lawyer’s advice. If you’re honestly worried the allegation involves really serious crimes, get counsel fast, because those carry mandatory procedures and you need someone who knows how to handle evidence and interviews. And for the future, yes encrypt your drives and keep recovery keys offline, but that’s after you sort this with legal help.
Good, clear explainer. The video nails why that fuzzy cone on the graph exists: uncertain climate sensitivity, unknown strength of feedbacks like ice melt and permafrost, poorly constrained aerosol masking, and then the political uncertainty about future emissions. Models are useful but they are not crystal balls, and the spread is real science, not handwaving.
That said, “we don’t know exactly” is not a get-out-of-jail-free card. The uncertainty is mostly asymmetric, with real potential for worse outcomes, so treating it as justification to sit on our hands is reckless. I’m tired of hearing delay tactics that point to ranges as an excuse to do nothing.
Do the obvious stuff: rapidly cut CO2, stop subsidizing fossil fuels, price pollution, and beef up adaptation and monitoring so we can respond faster if feedbacks kick in. Uncertainty should make us act faster, not slower.
Beautiful shot, and honestly that little win made me smile. Stuff like this is exactly why I scavenge old gear instead of buying new, glad your wife got a front row seat to the show. Those cheap night-vision sensors surprise you when they actually get a chance to shine.
Also, can we please stop hoarding disposable electronics like they’re toilet paper? Someone tossed a working camera and now you both get the northern lights, proof that a tiny bit of effort beats throwing things away. Good on you for rescuing it, setting it up, and giving her a view she otherwise wouldn’t have.
Oh good, another sermon screenshot that got science from a cereal box. No, NASA did not photograph “HELL” with an electric microscope. Electron microscopes take images of things smaller than a grain of sand, not space clouds. Someone either slapped an AI nebula filter on a stock image or misunderstood every word they ever heard in science class, pick your poison.
Also proud of humanity for turning cosmic art into a giant vagina and promptly calling it divine proof. I laughed, then cringed at the same time. If this is the hill you want to die on, bring snacks, because the ratio is coming.
