Costing more for your thing!

DJ RocQuemore Simmons and his friend hadn’t even managed to dip their toes in the pool before a screaming Stephanie Sebby-Strempel was out of the water and in their faces, shoving DJ in the chest, telling the boys they “didn’t belong” and ordering them to leave.
“Get out! Get out! Get out! Now!” she yelled before threatening to involve the authorities. “There’s three numbers I can call: 9-1-1.”
There was no time for them to tell her or anyone else that they were guests of a neighborhood resident, no time to phone parents. But the 15-year-old did manage to pull out a cellphone camera, recording the belligerent woman and the poolside encounter that turned him into the latest victim of #LivingWhileBlack.
But the lens in Sebby-Strempel’s face seemed to anger her more. She struck the 15-year-old in the chest, then at least twice in the face as he walked toward the exit, police say. She called them “little punks” and used racial slurs.
The boys left without retaliating — even saying “Yes, Ma’am” to Sebby-Strempel, who could not immediately be reached for comment Monday. But DJ’s parents were incensed when they saw the video. Family members posted it on Facebook, where it became instantly viral. Then they called the Dorchester County, South Carolina, sheriff’s office.
Investigators think the video and the witness statements were enough to charge the woman with third-degree assault. The police report deems it an “unprovoked assault” and says that Sebby-Strempel “is clearly the aggressor in the assault even going as far as to continue to assault the victim as he was walking away from her.”
Investigators say the woman was also the aggressor when they attempted to put her in handcuffs. She became “physically aggressive” when officers showed up at her home to arrest her. She pushed one into a wall, injuring his knees, the report says. Then she bit the other detective’s arm, breaking the skin.
She was ultimately arrested and released on $65,000 bail, the beginning of a court process that could stretch on for weeks or months.

https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2444290/incredibles-2-has-passed-the-incredibles-at-the-box-office
QuoteWhen The Incredibles' time in theaters ended more than a decade ago, it had collected a little over $633 million worldwide, making it the fourth highest-grossing movie of 2004. According to Box Office Mojo, Incredibles 2 has soared past its predecessor and then some, as it currently rests at nearly $648 million worldwide. What makes this even more impressive is that unlike The Incredibles, which opened in November of its year and only had The Polar Express as major competition, Incredibles 2 opened smack-dab in the middle of summer blockbuster season, sandwiched between the likes of Ocean's 8 and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Even accounting for inflation, the fact that Incredibles 2 has passed The Incredibles while holding its own against other major movies is... well, incredible. It is worth noting, however, that when it comes to foreign box office receipts, The Incredibles still reigns over Incredibles 2, with $371.5 million vs. $208.2 million.
It will probably do double the originals domestic box office.

https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2444360/harvey-weinstein-could-face-life-in-prison
QuoteDistrict Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. announced today that a Manhattan Grand Jury has indicted Weinstein "on some of the most serious sexual offenses that exist under New York's Penal Law." Specifically, the producer has now been charged with an additional count of Sexual Assault in the First Degree and two counts of Predatory Sexual Assault. Back in late May, Harvey Weinstein was charged by the New York City Police Department with "rape, criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct for incidents involving two separate women." If convicted on those charges, Weinstein could have faced as much as 25 years behind bars, but with these additional counts, now life in prison is on the table, or at minimum he could have another decade tacked on to a prison sentence.

I just renewed my subscription and I'm surprisingly having a blast with it despite its age.
Do they have all of the expansions in one collection? When I get a new PC I wouldn't mind joining you but it might not be until next month.

QuoteComedian Andy Dick has been charged with sexual battery on allegations that he groped a woman in April.
The Los Angeles city attorney filed two misdemeanor charges against the actor and is seeking an arrest warrant for him, The Times has confirmed.
The charges, filed on June 27, include misdemeanor sexual battery and misdemeanor simple battery stemming from an incident dated April 5.
According to legal documents, the comedian "did willfully and unlawfully touch an intimate part of another ... against his or her will for the specific purpose of sexual arousal, sexual gratification, and sexual abuse."

That looks fine. I use this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608008 I like it because it's easy to spread and tends to do well enough in third party testing.
Cool I'll go with that one and thank you for the help.

Anakin must of been a Gary Stu by doing everything perfectly like pilot a pod racer with enhanced Jedi reflexes, fly a spacecraft perfectly his first time or pass the test by the Jedi council without any training. It couldn't possibly be that Jedi have different levels of connection with the force and the stronger the connection the easier it naturally comes to them?

A card game where players have a family and you have to make them miserable before killing them off. The ones with the most points at the end of the game wins. I play it at my friends house and it's very fun!

You can't buy the good PR that MS and Nintendo have had since E3 with Crossplay, for both Fortnite and minecraft. You know, two of the most popular games available.
Didn't Microsoft buy Minecraft for $2.5 Billion? I was wondering why they would release it on other systems when it could be a X-Box exclusive?

What about the multiple buttons needed? I grant that the simple movements can be tracked, but VR is actually worse than track IR for sims if you need to use the keyboard as well.
Maybe they could have everything in the virtual cockpit mixed with voice commands? I figure it will get better if they have a few generations of VR. Just a wishful idea.

How do you plan to yaw, pitch, and roll your ship without a joystick? VR is great for looking around, but it doesn't replace controls.
If it can make you think your holding a apple or other items why not a virtual joystick and throttle?

We will never get another Star Wars flight sim, primarily due to the fact that no one uses joysticks anymore. The best we'll get are single-plane arcade-like games similar to Rogue Squadron. Don't get me wrong, I like those games, but they aren't the same thing.
VR could potentially replace needing a joystick eventually imo so maybe a flight sim game could happen again?

Board Games & Stripping 101?

Could it be that Microsoft is willing to lose a lot of money doing this to try and sink Sony? Microsoft knows Nintendo isn't a threat so seeing Sony pushed out of the console market would be a huge win for them?

I don’t know anything about thermal glue. I always use paste. Just find something popular that has a lot of positive reviews.
I'll get the paste like this? Looks like it would be easier to use.

I don't really see what's so hard to understand about what would happen to the 23rd upon DC statehood: it seems like it'd just exist without doing anything since the entity it covers no longer exists.
Wouldn't it just be kinda like how some laws are still on the books but no longer enforced?
QuoteAre female motorists in Tennessee bad? Someone in Memphis didn’t have a lot of faith in them. No worries ladies. If you want to drive your car legally, you DON’T need a man to accompany you in it. It’s nothing like that. You just need a man to be either running or walking in front of the car waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians.

Could we make this the official marijuana page? We could list each state status?

@Massdriver Would any thermal glue work? On newegg they have some from $8-$80. I need to replace the heatsink because my previous one died.

I'm thinking about replacing the CPU heatsink in this PC and using it in a home build classic arcade cabinet with help from a friend.
