    Tip 1: Use a party member to start dialog with vendor, then in the bottom left corner of the screen, it lets you select your thief. Walk up behind the vendor, enter stealth, then pick the pockets. If you get caught, it will cancel the conversation, but until that point, the vendor wont move...

    You were obviously trying to kill one. Now, you wont get caught, as long as no one says shit, but if you don't know it's illegal with a heavy fine, you may be more likely to say something to someone that may report you. Fish and Game wardens are a sneaky bunch, and kids cant keep a secret for...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Money is hardly a consideration when the US government is paying for it... It was still a good idea to have a backup program in place, in case Space-X failed. The chances of that are now only in the case of bankruptcy, though.

    Any bodybuilder that is in the spotlight, like he is, is in a bit of a tough spot. In order to use steroids in the safest way possible, a person needs to be educated on them or they can fuck up their body. So being public with your roid use can encourage teens and young men to do steroids, and...

    What If...?

    Off hand, anything over 30% seems absurd. The mass Indian extinction event theory, due to the Spanish invasion, would certainly need to show some solid vectors of how the various diseases spread. I would assume they have that, for it to get any traction at all, but then again, it could all be...

    There is evidence for pre-Colombian trade from all over the Americas in archaeological sites; which are from excavations from at least the past 40+ years (not necessarily at high volumes, but it was there (also, some of that "trade" was by payed with blood not barter:emoji_nose:.

    Not sure where this should go, since there probably isn't enough interest for it's own thread, but I think there are some Daggerfall fans around here (I'm more partial to Morrowind). It's free, since Daggerfall DOS is free: https://www.dfworkshop.net/daggerfall-unity-1-0-release/

    Well, if someone wanted to cause her some hassle, but not have it trace back to them, it's not beyond the realm of possibilities that someone slim-jimed her door and opened the tank then.

    Yea, if you have the auto lock feature on, then it would be rather difficult for some kids to fuck with it, and I wouldn't suspect anyone else of doing some stupid shit like pouring sugar in it. You can usually(?) find recalls by searching google with year/make/model "recall" and maybe add the...

    That's rough, as it's hard to really verify anything once it's in the shop. I don't know enough about fuel to say what "sugar like substance" can mean, other than someone directly putting sugar in your fuel tank, and how long ago that could have happened. Like, could someone pour some sugar...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I assume that all the romance shit in this game was written by women or effeminate gays (or maybe there are no rules for who hits on who, for the gays). Since straight men hardly ever get hit on, they don't have the experience of "aggressive" or "horny" men/women coming on strong, and that's why...

    Ah, yea, that sucks and surprised it isn't fixed. I've done the minor illusion trick the last 3 times I went through that area, and never went into turn based, maybe that bug, on the first playthrough is why.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I don't understand what the issue is? Even on reload, it wont let you leave turn based, or every time you enter combat, one of the deactivated turrets gets put into combat with you, no matter where in Underdark you are? Also, why are you even in turn based to begin with? Just use Minor Illusion...

    I don't know about the auto industry, but the oil industry down here had/has a drafter employment path that doesn't need a degree. It sounded like they do almost everything an engineer with a degree does. The engineers still look over and sign off on it, I think. Dude I knew in high school went...

    Toyota is the premo truck brand that commands premo truck prices. From my very small sample size of driving a 2010ish Tundra VS 2018ish F150, that rep is well deserved (also driven a handful of older trucks from Chevy/Ford that were all worse than the Tundra). @Big Phoenix: Dealers are going...

    People like to complain about the amount of changes that EU4 and Stelaris have gone through over the years, but it is really the thing that keeps me coming back to them.

    There are people using borescopes and teardowns to show what these additives do. Now whether the visual differences actually help the engine run better, can be debatable.

    The "tune up" is usually the colloquial name for replacing plugs and wires, along with the rest of the service recommendations that come along with that. Which is different than getting your car "tuned" on a dyno, which changes the computer programing for timing, fuel/O2 mix, and some other...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    I had changed it to two weeks instead of one, right off the bat, so it switched hunters and rogues when I looked at "all" VS. 80 percentile. Regardless, "all" usually has a good deal of difference to top parces on retail and I would imagine the skill gap will get bigger with the higher levels...

    Even that can change, depending on how you use the tool. "All" parses are kinda meaningless when you are counting a bunch of scrubs that can't play their class. I used to use 85% or better, on retail, when looking at log ratings:
