  1. My wife has the wipe kind on standard renewal from amazon and has received 2 x three packs since March so we haven't run out yet.
  2. I’m glad they have the sense to bring it home before it breaks down along the narrative road. These high tension shows always jump the shark when they stay as long as some fans want them to stay.
  3. I too am in NY, Ithaca specifically. It not a bad gig, but man does it have its days, especially with state contracts.
  4. I am a construction/project manager and I spent the last 8 years on utilities projects, so I have a decent background in such things. The different soils and stone are used to create different porosity conditions depending on what you are installing below or above. Examples include, installing utility piping. Beneath the piping is usually native soils that are "tamped" or compacted, the pipe is place with stone surrounding it to give structure and support the pipe so that the stone lock together and prevent settlement that cause the sections of pipe to become disjointed and puts strain on the coupling devices between pipe lengths. This ensures a good life expectancy for the utility once buried. That part is simple but when you get into native soils issues, like installing that same utility through an area that is mostly sand, you need to prevent the flow of water underground (because sand is crap at stopping the water table from shifting) by installing clay/bentonite "check damns" along the length of your utility line to impede the water's flow. Then above all that stone and clay, you will use a layer of crusher run mixed with "fines" to glue the rocks together before say placing asphalt down. Basically, there is a lot of different conditions you are trying to counteract and each requires different stability and filtration materials to solve these problems. Lastly, if its in a field or green space, some of the piles are just the top soil that was stripped off and will be returned to the same spot as top soil is more expensive than "clean" fill materials.
  5. Now IF we get to modify the brain to support these functions then I'm on board because that could mean the experiences could be effectively adapted to so that it wouldn't be a living nightmare! In which case, yes please! But also, more durable body, this one is "Iffy" at best!
  6. Definitely only sight, because I can close my eyes! Smell - Rachel covered this Touch - Ouch! Taste - My god, the potential horror Hearing - Never sleeping again, yay...
  7. Do you have an extensive background in Project Management? If so, you may have my job!
  8. The Order is Sony's IP and this was a good move for RAD. Still hate Facebook though.
  9. This is important actually because it shows that he can be easily led, just like he can easily lead the simple. Basically he is simply and the way to fight him is with simple messages repeated frequently.
  10. Dude, "reconcile" is not a thing a MAGA chud does. This is classic hate = power to these folks and as long as Trump is willing to play the hate clown, they are in for whatever contradictions the bloated one throws their way.
  11. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS game) nothing on earth remotely compares to the grind of this game or the absurd levels to which people spend real world money on it. Capital Games are THE WORST develops in all of gaming. IF you don't believe, just check out the "fan" sites and the hate they have for CG. CG, incidentally is a subdivision of EA, and yet is somehow worse than EA every has been.
  12. https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-has-been-delayed-again/ Which effectively confirms it as a next gen title as far as I'm concerned.
  13. Still working on a time machine so I can go back and teach him how to be a dad!
