  1. I have to believe this is a case of EA (or Dice higher-ups) meddling with the teams. Mind you, I've also heard that the core of the BF3/4/1 teams are gone, now. Like, how do you launch a BF game without classes, communication, or way to teamplay? Squad play is THE thing that set BF apart from COD and other FPS games.
  2. Hmm. While it's true that India is not the main problem, that graph is per capita, and doesn't take raw figures into account.
  3. Direct democracy is bad enough on a small scale (condo boards, etc), it's disastrous on a large scale!
  4. I can't believe how badly Dice sucks at some thing (especially control configurations). Apparently the only way to disable mouse acceleration is to also disable it on gamepad. Why are those even linked? I might pick this up in a year if it's a bit more polished and balanced, but for now it's a pass.
  5. Also the fact that people are legally allowed to carry handguns in the US makes it a farce.
  6. The fact that this judge can even be a judge makes the entire thing a farce.
  7. Interesting that immunity seems to be lasting longer in Canada. I'm guessing it's because most people waited 8-12 weeks between doses, rather than 3.
  8. Hollywood Studio Projects Get Stricter About COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM As the federal government pushes employers to act, producers are increasingly enforcing the requirements: “Nobody wants an Aaron Rodgers situation." Dummy.
  9. I have a 2013 Focus which I paid off in 2018 or 2019. Since then I've just been dumping the same amount as my monthly payment into a high-interest savings account (between 1.5% and 2.5% interest). So, I now have enough cash to effectively buy a used car whenever I want to. I was planning on doing that this year (and getting a 2-or-3-year-old Toyota or Honda sedan), but now the prices on used cars are also through the roof. So, I'll keep saving, and hopefully my car continues to run.
  10. US Capitol rioter who assaulted police officer gets 41 months in prison WWW.CNN.COM A New Jersey gym owner and former MMA fighter who punched a police officer during the January 6 riot was sentenced to 41 months in prison on Wednesday, becoming the first rioter sentenced for violence against the police during the attack.
  11. I mean, it seems to my dumb, uneducated mind that the two main causes of inflation (in this order) are: Global supply chain issues/shortages caused by the pandemic Spending caused by the pandemic This isn't to brush aside concerns about how this inflation is going to affect regular people (because it is), but for people slamming current governments over this inflation, the question needs to be: what could have been done differently/better to prevent this inflation? Because as far as I see, there isn't much. Yes, spending could have been better controlled in specific circumstances (made more efficient, etc). But getting money out to people quickly was of utmost importance. And, as the great resignation shows, the financial aids weren't the cause of people not returning to shitty jobs. The implication of much of the criticism of current inflation is that anti-virus efforts are to blame (which is certainly true), and that they shouldn't have been undertaken. I'm not talking about criticism from people going "wow gas is high, this sucks," I'm talking about the pundits, etc.
