His brain has been rotted by capitalism

I'm still fighting my old company for tax documents that are due in 4 days, and I don't even live in the US

Why is Houston "hew-stown" while Houston is "house-ton"

We used Ancestry to help build the initial family tree but after that you have to do some digging to find each province's/state's method of finding historical records. For Quebec that's the BANQ. We also had an old genealogical record that a Québécois preacher wrote ages ago about the ancestral line (that's what the French in my OP says, I've been studying French and knew enough to parse it)

The subreddit for this was massively helpful

Twitter has a deadname. It's the one case where I recommend using it.

Yes we did! Thankfully it was only 4 or 5 generations but it was really difficult. Turns out that Quebec birth records only existed as parish records prior to some date

So that's how the US leaves NATO

Don't fuck ICE in the sexual sense of the expression. Those incels can fuck each other

Cybertrucks are (supposedly) deadlier than Ford Pintos so it really depends on the comparison

Keep a reflective umbrella in the passenger seat. When an asshole with death beams tailgates you, have the passenger open it across the back seats

To test the --no-preserve-root safeguard. It's like playing Russian roulette

 

I hate the Reefslider so much. I call it the suicide button because it's such a bad special. Yet it's on so many of my favorite loadouts (this one alone is 7 stars).

  • It's slow to deploy and very visibly broadcast to the enemy
  • It does not provide any armor while moving or deploying, so half the time I just die straight away
  • It leaves you a sitting duck at the end for way too long
  • The blast is incredibly unreliable and routinely misses enemies in its blast radius
  • The blast doesn't absorb bombs thrown your way either
  • The track is useless, it's easy to get stuck behind a 1 inch elevation increase or fall off a cliff
  • It's not even strong enough to pop a Rainmaker bubble unless it's already going your way

It needs some serious buffs to be on even ground with other specials. My fix proposal would be to provide front and back armor and fix the issues with the explosion, at minimum.

Agree? Disagree?

Found this in my old archives and figured it'd be appreciated here. Most satisfying wipeout by far. Maybe not satisfying for the other team though

People spend one-third of their lives asleep. What if employees could work during that time … in their dreams?

Prophetic, a venture-backed startup founded earlier this year, wants to help workers do just that. Using a headpiece the company calls the “Halo,” Prophetic says consumers can induce a lucid dream state, which occurs when the person having a dream is aware they are sleeping. The goal is to give people control over their dreams, so they can use that time productively. A CEO could practice for an upcoming board meeting, an athlete could run through plays, a web designer could create new templates—“the limiting factor is your imagination,” founder and CEO Eric Wollberg told Fortune.

I'm a performer, so I need my account for work and to book gigs. I've been locked out for almost a month due to a platform bug, and have tried and exhausted every possible avenue of support.
