    In my defense it used to be a 3% interest high yield account. Now it's like .40%.

    Yeah PSUs and DRAM are way down. Platinum and Titanium rated PSUs are still up because people use them for mining efficiency, but nowhere near as high as they were a year ago.

    No, not across the board. We're probably looking at 6% inflation in 2021 across the board, which is bad if it was sustained, but considering we had outrageously low inflation from 2008-2020, it is ultimately nothing. And I say this as someone who has a lot of deposits in fiat who gets hurt by...

    They don't care about your deposits. That's why you get so little interest for them. The amount of money that retail customers have in their bank deposits is not even worth thinking about for today's banks. A bank run would do nothing. The government prints money, gives it to banks, and the...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Marc Jacobs is a fucking idiot who never understood what was good about DAoC. That game was only good by accident and they spent the next 4 years destroying it. I was pretty deeply involved in the internal development and was an actual credited QA tester for both New Frontiers and Catacombs...

    Done some work for that guy. He's as nice as he pretends to be. Not even close to a billionaire though.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The playerbase hates new systems. They also hate old systems. How do you design for a playerbase that just hates the game?

    You can call in a vehicle drop. I definitely did not like this map much though, and I wish they had just gone with Rush.

    There's literally nothing wrong with M+ right now other than the fact that you suck. It'll be even better when they add Legion Timewalking and Tazavesh to it.

    Since we're doing a toy derail, sold or gave away most of my vintage toy collection but I kept these two. One of these has a perfect top seal, the other is slightly fucked up around one edge: I may or may not have the slime pit somewhere still.

    You do realize that you just compared two things that have basically nothing in common, right? Apex has an extremely long TTK, probably the longest of any FPS ever.

    No, you don't have to go into about:config, you just have to dismiss them from the row under the search bar on the Firefox startup page. It autopopulates that row with those shitty sites, but after you dismiss them they are gone.

    They're just really bad at counting in real-time due to everything going on + general bureaucratic incompetence. August's numbers were revised substantial upwards, from a big miss to a solid gain. This is all FUD. ADP has more accurate numbers than the BLS.

    Battlefield 2042

    I'm really not getting all the hate, this is pretty fun. I'd like to see the other maps, and I'd like combat to feel a little more, I dunno, punchy, and obviously the bugs fixed. But the destruction, that big ass fucking storm, the vehicle drops, all really fucking cool.

    How is it different from Greyscale shares? EDIT: Nm, it's tracking companies that are heavily into crypto, not the bitcoin value itself.

    Technically all workers are paying those taxes anyway. It's just that a portion of it is obscured from your actual paycheck, because your employer is paying that portion for you, but it still ultimately comes out of the total potential compensation you could be being paid. When you're a small...

    I dunno. BF4 beta was bad, but BF3 Beta had the benefit of having insane graphics for the time and Operation Metro was a really good rush map. It was a buggy beta but you could see it was going to be a really good game.

    Battlefield 2042

    It just feels a little slow-paced to me, and a lack of visceral feedback to anything. It runs well for me though. And I agree with the statement that BF1 was a good game. The maps were fantastic. I just didn't really enjoy the infantry weapons of the era.

    Are you fucking retarded? That 1099 gets filed with the IRS as well. They are definitely going after anyone who makes over 20k a year from a 1099.
