    What happened to..........(FoH Poster)?

    That probably makes you the longest tenured poster at this point. Most of the UO guys packed it in a long time ago. I personally arrived here because I followed some folks from Toril MUD to the EQ release, playing on Veeshan with a lot of that crowd. I was not aware of it fully at the time...

    What happened to..........(FoH Poster)?

    A lot of the old guard is long gone. I think if you could do a headcount of those of us who were around during the noows era, that 10ish number is probably about right. We lost a bunch to the hoofshots spat and a bunch more to the Jeffylys shit. But really when the core old guard hung it up...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Good work output never comes without a toll. Some people are social cancer, others just straight up assholes (me), and others sketchy/untrustworthy. Learning to cope with that to get shit done is pretty much the way you get to be successful as a leader, especially in IT. Well adjusted people...

    As much as we would like to believe it, we are simply not up to the high standards of racism and hatred that Asians operate on. She probably would be bored here.

    Everyone in agreement just makes your woman brain ("Don't tell me what to do!!") dig its heels in harder. The bottom line is the same. You won't know unless you take the risk and if the downside is unbearable for you then you probably are not ready to date and won't be for a while...

    He might not be the problem. You might be subconsciously punishing your self for the mistakes made that led to your prior relationship. Spending more time will answer some of it, as well as either confirm or alleviate doubts you might have. You learn a lot when you have to share a bathroom...

    Young Sherlock

    I get that you're arguing this like a lawyer but I was mainly debating the idea that people can't go back to past memories and look for additional details about specific things they didn't find noteworthy at the time. You're trying to diffuse it into some nebulous issue because you operate on...

    I agree with pretty much all of the advice being presented, but would add this: Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the ideal. All relationships involve sacrifice and personal investment by both people, if you want them to succeed. Keep an eye out for red flags and check him out in his...

    No, we get it. People can actually do this. Think of it in terms of something like watching the movie Fight Club and how many seemingly pointless details are in the movie that you do not make the connection on until the second viewing. For people with exceptional or eidetic levels of memory...

    Young Sherlock

    I can definitely say from personal experience that there is a layer of organization that goes on, even if its unconscious. Also, training does factor into it. People with exceptional memories will tend to have freakishly strong memories when the subject matter involves something they are well...

    Young Sherlock

    Not necessarily true. You can experience something and have a memory of it, but not understand its significance until you gain more information later on. I am by no means eidetic, but I do have a very freakishly strong memory, especially long term things. It does have a high correlation with...

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    There are some cheesy episodes and some outright bad ones, but a lot of the OG Trek was build on solid sci-fi ideas that let the viewer think without slamming them over the head with imposed morality. Special Effects have not held up (the remastered versions help a bit here) but the core...

    Cloud computing's revenue model works like drug dealing. Get people hooked cheap, get them dependent, then ramp up the cost when you have set the hook and they cannot go back. This is going to be the gameplan with AI as well, with a side of surveillance state thrown in to sweeten the pot.

    Well Trek has been progressive leaning since day one. But that does not mean it was bad story telling and DS9 had good story telling with complex characters where the viewer was left to decide what they had been presented. The bulk of the OG series and TNG had this going for it, where it was...

    Which is the difference between good writing and shit writing. Dukat was a fundamentally evil and selfish the entire time, but after his mental break and his Pah Wraith interactions, he went completely off the rails as you noted. This was actually part of the story and his character, not the...

    Well that was the literal strategy for a lot of these shows in the 2010s, particularly the ones on HBO. Have a great premise, with some high ticket actors, and some major titties during the first couple seasons. They were actually hiring literal strippers and whores as extras in many of these...

    I love dogpiling the Cowboys as much as anyone, living in Texas as a Packer fan, but they do draft fairly well. There issues are almost all in Jerry's choice of coaches and how he fucks with them. The Mike McCarthy hire was hilarious enough, but then he follows up with Iberfluss? The last...

    Marcus was the Super Mutant who had a BOS pal (started as enemies) who he helped set up the town of Broken Hills for which he was Sheriff for a long time.

    Actually I skipped the SB because of the streaming Peacock horse shit, the Gambling push, and the league making it clear that it is not just ignoring its core fanbase, but actively shitting on us. Not liking the teams has literally never been a factor, exhibit Eagles Chiefs last year. And more...

    Every team in the league needs O Linemen for the most part, thanks to longer seasons wearing them down and not enough talent (lowest paying job in the NFL and shortest career span, so no incentive) to go around. That's why you saw so much uncalled holding all year, especially after a couple QBs...

    NE did not start encountering actual defenses until the playoffs, for the most part. Once they did, well, you see the results. Fortunately for them, they get to play the AFC East again next year and the Bills are in freefall, so they get half a year of preseason calibre games to right the ship.
