  1. On the one hand, I want this technology. On the other, no one makes anything close to top-end Nvidia cards.
  2. Depending on posture and conditions, anywhere from the top of the belt to the bottom of the belt is acceptable, with the correct amount be 1mm from the top of the belt.
  3. The online Star Wars community has notoriously gone after female stars in the new trilogy, going so far as to harass them until they leave social media completely. The title is alluding to this, and that Keri Russel will be the next to be harassed. Obviously this doesn't represent all Star Wars fans...but it's a pretty toxic and anti-woman community compared to many fanbases.
  4. I enjoy Scythe, but I barely get it to the table since my group purchased Gloomhaven. I've only played base Scythe, but I think I still prefer Terra Mystica to it (Scythe is like Terra Mystica-lite, and with combat). Still a great game though. I do have one of the expansions, but haven't played it yet.
  5. All it tells me is that some people have 200k credit limits on their card. If you can afford that much, the government should probably be taking most of your money.
  6. Yeah. TFA was great when it came out because it was well-made and enjoyable, but it hasn't aged well. I think TLJ will age better (except the casino plot) due to the strength of the Luke-Rey-Ben story, and I'm still holding out hope that IX will be a solid ending...but I also know that JJ loves nostalgia and cliche stuff. My biggest hope is in Johnson's new trilogy, which I hope has zero ties to any existing characters. I'd be fine with it involving Jedis and all that, but I want an end to the Rebels vs Empire story. EDIT - I want to be clear that the ST so far is still much, much better than the PT. But it's not new, which is what kind of sucks. Luke is the only one that needed to appear in it, if anyone.
  7. Man I should get back into this. I played for a few weeks when it first launched but haven't come back. Same with PUBG, actually.
  8. I really wish they would have not used any of the OT characters at all for this one except Luke as a ghost (and have the trilogy start with Ben having already killed Luke as his moment of betrayal a few years before). The new trilogy is waaaay too tied to the past to have its own interesting story. I blame JJ.
  9. Yeah now they are quite small, basically a little square. Honestly, I'd rather have twitter posts be larger (like before) and have the occasional monster-size FB post than keep it this way. We have twitter posts all the time, but FB is much more rare.
  10. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mexico-usa-helicopters/mexicos-president-elect-will-cancel-planned-u-s-helicopter-order-idUSKBN1K1332?il=0 Mexico's new president cancelling $1.36 Billion helicopter order from the US.
  11. It's true that asbestos is amazing at what it does, and if properly contained. The issue is that it's never properly contained because people are idiots, so it had to be banned. It's like how guns will never kill anyone if properly used by sane people...except for all of the idiots that own them.
  12. Wait, don't you mean moderate dems are going to lose elections for dems? The social democrat won the nomination.
  13. The outrage was that the Liberal government started sex ed in Kindergarten, and conservatives flipped their shit. But it wasn't teaching about sex at all (that early), it was just introducing them to concepts like sex and gender. Then as they got older other things were introduced like orientation, and eventually intercourse and related activities (including safe sex). This will eliminate any instruction on orientation, gender identity, and social media/web stuff. It's a huge step backward, but that's what the people of Ontario deserve for voting in a drug dealer.
  14. Can't wait until they get rid of all physical ports altogether and then you'll need to buy a bluetooth hub and adapters for all the normal products you need to interface with. Except they'll also be using a proprietary bluetooth so you need to pay the Apple premium.
  15. There definitely is harm. How many Trump voters are likely to support a Democrat, even if she votes with Trump's initiatives 10 or 20% of the time? Now how many Democrats will sit at home and be unmotivated if their own candidate doesn't stand up to the worst administration in modern history? Research has been pretty clear from the last decade that motivating your own base is more valuable than appealing to "moderates" on the other side.
  16. So... https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/10/white-house-releases-list-of-goods-hit-by-200-billion-in-tariffs.html
