    Or they just fucked up and banned based on automated flag raising for third party software that wasn't correct. Which happens plenty. When someone reports you for botting GMs will punt your character around to see how you react, or log you off to see how fast you log back in and resume. This...

    The weapon is coming in the next update (40 days from now). Yea, it's early access so there is still a bunch missing. I'm guessing they are going to add more areas to clear as well. I can't imagine, based on the story that exists thus far, Zagreus's journey ends at the gates of the Underworld...

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    Well since it's a rogue-lite it's not story driven. The story is there and obviously unfinished but it's basically just a dungeon grinder so you're not really spoiling anything playing early access. And it's surprisingly polished. I've only run into one bug where Thanatos got stuck after his...

    Replace the cabinets completely with fabuwood, do laminate countertops. Probably a 7k job whereas trying to badly mask the existing cabinets would cost you like 4k and look like shit. Granite is expensive when its properly sealed and no longer porous. Cheap granite isn't usually sealed properly...

    After spending some more time I am officially hooked. Once you open up the mirror a bit and get some items the weapons become a lot more dynamic. Lots of different ways to play with each weapon depending on what aspect you choose as well.

    If that was the case I'm not sure why he would mention the ban at all in a YouTube video.

    People get wrongfully banned plenty. It happens. But even if he was doing something suspect he's asking for information on what exactly the reason was so he can at least try to prevent the same from happening in the future. Instead Blizzard says "We aren't going to tell you what you did, but...

    The market hasn't moved much percentage wise the past few days. And it's been very volatile for going on 2 years now. Not exactly news worthy.

    They calculate by "mill rate" in CT. Meaning 1 dollar for every 1000 appraised value on the property. Actually my taxes are going up this year by almost 1k because they raised my mill rate to 33. Which means 33 dollars for every 1k in appraised value. Which is literally the same as saying 3.3%...

    Security are the "bad guys" when they clearly don't know what the fuck they are doing or talking about. Which in my experience is like 90%+ of all cyber security personnel. It's a fast moving field and is kind of still in the fledgling stage for most companies so it's understandable.

    I wouldn't recommend BizTalk as an HL7 engine. Sure it does it but it's becoming an orphaned technology at Microsoft. They are even migrating a lot of BizTalk's core functionality to other technologies like Logic Apps.

    Right but you live in a very ritzy area in a much more expensive house. On the whole property taxes are much lower in Texas than CT. Is there legislation in Texas that prevents banks from refusing escrow waivers? All I know is I could not find a home loan here that would allow me to waive...

    Next time, if they have them, get the "Extra Crunchy" version of the southwest chicken El Monterey taquitos. They are much better. Trick is to get them out of the oven before the filling starts oozing out of them. The frozen Friday's potato skins are actually pretty decent too.

    I don't think it's a state law here I just don't think any banks/brokers are willing to allow borrowers to waive escrow around here. May have to do with how much taxes are here compared to a state like Texas and how much more money it allows them to have on their books as a result. My property...

    Oh I hate escrow and how it works. But you can't find a bank/broker that will do a home loan without it around here.

    I got sent a delinquency notice with penalties and interest so I then called the bank and had a bunch of back and forth with them to get it sorted out. At first they tried to make me pay it all by raising my monthly payment from ~2700 to ~3200. Eventually they sent the payment from my already...

    Well I will say this. I had the same view on the topic you do until my loan was sold to and serviced by a bank that "forgot" to pay my property taxes via escrow twice, tried to pass the penalties on to me via new "escrow increases" (my payment suddenly went from ~2700/mo to ~3200/mo) and then...

    To add to Denaut's instructions. Make sure to leave it in the oven too long and burn the shit out of all the toppings. Sorry... I meant to say "char all the toppings"

    I don't think this is true: https://www.metalsupermarkets.com/types-of-steel/ And it appears that the higher carbon content steel, while being harder, is also more brittle so you have to be careful doing things like chopping through bones. The type of high carbon steel used in the Misen...

    From their website: "The Chef’s Knife is made with AICHI AUS-10 steel, which offers an even better balance between lasting sharpness and durability with 2x the carbon content of some other “premium” knives. " Reviews of that type of steel seem to indicate it's more durable than other carbon...

    Bought this on a whim. Cool game and interesting progression system, but I really don't like most of the weapons and maybe I'm doing it wrong but I wish it wasn't so much "always be pressing dash". I'm only 4 hours in so as you unlock more of the progression stuff maybe the weapons start to...

    The Misono is absolutely carbon steel (it's actually the Misono Swedish I misspoke) and it's apparently very reactive carbon to boot. It's definitely made from good steel, but it's not really meant to be a beater knife. I'm not a chef and I don't treat or use my knife like a chef would.

    I don't think there is much wiggle room on the rates for most banks. Shop around anyway but like wormie said I've never really heard of rate negotiation being possible. Unless maybe you're spending millions of dollars and it's a very out of the ordinary transaction. In general, the shorter the...

    Not cold water, turn the tap to warm or even hot. And if you can't deglaze it (i.e. pour any liquid into it), it doesn't seem like a great cooking device.
