    Best Voip option for a small business?

    I guess I'll post this here, but my question is for residential not business. Some background: my elderly parents are paying $45 a month for a landline. For the past couple of months they've had this constant background noise and it's been HELL to contact Verizon to fix this shit. Finally got...

    Do they actually have any popular characters anymore?

    Overwatch

    I'm new to Overwatch, been playing with a couple friends for the past few months. Lots of fun, but one major aggravation I'm having is how NO ONE COMMUNICATES. There's hardly ever any team coordination because no one talks. Does no one use voice chat or am I somehow missing an option...

    Also, don't be dumb like me and "sell instantly" to the TP -- you can lose a lot of cash that way. Look at the current buy and sell orders and price your stuff accordingly.

    Raised by Wolves

    I thought the first episode was fantastic. Special effect didn't bother me...everything looked pretty good I thought. I also thought the science of it made sense for the most part.

    Guild Wars 2

    What about dwarves? I'm not into the lore so maybe they're not a possibility, but from a technical perspective they could probably use the same armor and weapon models as the Asura. And would add another shorty race.

    Guild Wars 2

    I love solo'ing multiple hydras with my engineer. My particular builds gives me near perma-stability so I can't be knocked down, pushed, or pulled.

    Or you can grow a pair and solo that shit.

    When I came back I had a level 70 guardian with half of his hero points unspent. :rolleyes:

    Yeah this is a must. And I think it's on sale right now?

    The game has always been pretty smooth for me except when there are a bajillion players in an event.

    Guild Wars 2

    I don't think GW2 gets the love it deserves here. I feel this game is perfect for those that are tired of the WoW model.

    Bill & Ted Face the Music

    Yeah, I thought this was pretty good. Better than Bogus Journey, which I never really cared for. My only complaint were the daughters The actresses did a pretty good job of channeling Bill and Ted, but just came off weird with them being female. Lastly, they say Keanu Reeves doesn't age...

    Computer Issues

    Yeah this is what I ultimately ended up doing -- performing a factory reset. This feels like the same problem with Windows where you're %temp% folder and C:\Windows\Temp folders can grow over time when applications don't properly clean up after themselves. Unfortunately, being Apple, there's...

    I still don't have one. I've heard it makes Tangled Depths in HoT bearable, but other than that I haven't felt the need for it. But I think there's at least one Mastery Point that's only obtainable with the Skyscale.

    Guild Wars 2

    Honestly, aren't we all just done with the whole item +gooder stats paradigm? It's become absolutely meaningless now. I think it's always been mostly about cosmetics anyway. And GW2 has some really cool looking armor and weapons. That legendary pony-bow thing really cracks me up.

    I'm no elementalist expert, but I did level one to 80 and went Tempest following this guide: LOT of fun blowing stuff up.

    Guild Wars 2

    Maybe its just me, but I've found the elite professions (provided by the expansions) significantly more fun to play. Core professions feel kind of basic and repetitive.

    Guild Wars 2

    Vistas aren't technically "jumping puzzles", although some require a bit of skillful jumping. Actual jumping puzzles exist (usually hidden within a map) and give some kind of reward or achievement. But for zone completion you can ignore them. I recommend binding a mouse button or keypress to...

    Lovecraft Country

    Speaking of Good Times, we also had Sanford and Son and The Jeffersons -- fantastic series with all-black casts they I still enjoy today.

    I'm sure, and if it was any other moment in time I may have enjoyed it. But not right now.

    Lovecraft Country

    Read the synopsis of the book, so sure, its the theme of the book of racism in the United States during that time period. I get it, but they are truly beating a dead horse at this point. Not interested.

    I mean, is this the book? Or did HBO jump the median and do their own thing?

    I aborted at the moment we had a black dude getting sucked off in the alley by another black dude. Just tired of this dumb shit.

    Difficult programming question

    Yeah, this would be super easy in .NET since, you know, it's s Microsoft product and all. C++? Good God no.

    Boy, I bet those CW writers were triggered hard by the panoramic end scene.

    Yeah, I'm not sure how to interpret the evil plan of eliminating racism and giving everyone universal healthcare. I did laugh, though.

    Let me know if there's a better place to post this... Anyone know of a way to manually clear an iPad's cache? Not the browser cache -- but the third party / system cache. My mom's iPad has a whopping 6GB of "Other" showing in the iPad storage. It sounds like this is system cache and app...

    Guild Wars 2

    I sometimes kill some time in the middle of the day and there's enough people to easily take down meta events like Tequatl, the Shatterer, Claw of Jormag, etc. Those take a reasonably healthy player count participation.

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

    My current job we work with Angular and it's not my responsibility to "make it look beautiful". The building blocks were already created by the architects so we just put them on a page and wire up the services to the backend. It's not horribly complicated but it is, in my opinion, more...

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

    If you want a job in the industry I'd go in this order: React > Angular > Vue. If you want ease of learning then go Vue. There are many other frameworks/libraries out there, of course. Probably the only other one I'd recommend would be maybe Svelte.js. That one is very similar (in structure)...
