    People ask me about markets from time to time. I'm not a big investor at all. I have money in the market in index etfs and some stock inherited. I have noticed a number of people if they don't have a reasonable idea of how much money you make because your job title/description means nothing to...

    I use Fidelity. One thing that happened to me that I put in their plus. I had an issue with my account and I called them after normal business hours. I talked to a real live human that was an english speaker from South Carolina I think. She got the problem fixed in minutes. Silver looks like it...

    When the board had a guild several years ago playing EQ I used the ranger epic to slow crap, until i bought a shaman from someone in game for next to nothing. Then I no longer needed a guild/group lol. The haste weapon was replaced a long time ago, but when it was new it was great.

    Might have been an all time high here in southwest MS for Christmas. I didn't look earlier but they said earlier it was probably. Pretty warm, not as hot as it was the year my grandfather caught the pasture on fire burning trash on Christmas and we had to put it out. Pretty hot.

    Just started, I took classic and like you figured it was the medium. I'll most likely start over at some point once I figured out the UI and such. Then just settle for I suck at the game.

    I've seen it in several places that silver is being used in production of "stuff" at a greater pace than is being mined for the last few years. Mexico mines the most silver, so I blame them lol. I don't know about central banks. Probably a combination going on...

    AI and the companies I work with keep machinery going for many decades. Some have been upgraded over the years with new controls. Some computer/CNC and some still on tapes and punch cards from the 60'. Of course a lot of stuff is made in China or Korea due to machinery. One shop uses a vertical...

    I don't know if it is the same in Divinity, but I hope they fix the way doors work in BG3. If you open it and walk back through it later often you have to close the door and then open it again. Small things lol.

    No idea, but just guessing a large number of the new and past games are games most people never see or ever heard of. They're just on steam. I know steam recomends a small number of games and anything outside that I have to search for because I saw it elsewhere.

    He only eats 3 items and you get a large number of junk ones. I'm not saying you are complaining about that, and he is annoying. But I've seen people complain about having to give up an item. Right off you can get a magic item that cast dancing lights. Problem solved. I haven't looked at...

    My niece has problems now. Well kind of first world problems. She has twins. The boy got accepted to a special state high school and the sister didn't.

    Didn't Larian tone down the gayness some time after launch because people complained about it? Problem is "mostly" fixed if you play it solo, kill off numerous potential party members or shut it all down in dialog early on (maybe that's what they changed). Of course that cuts off a lot of...

    Don't know wbout WA but Wyoming is always windy. Kind of the reason they have a mountain range called the Wind Mountain Range.

    Yeah you will hit max level very early in act 3 even if you had gone through at a casual pace and not been someone that did every quest and such in previous acts. I know this goes against a lot of what DND is and honestly against the part I like is the the game throws equipment at you in...

    I think they did a good job with the mechanics and getting DND stuff into BG3. The overall story, meh. They had a lot of detail but the story from the start was a turn off to me.

    I have parathesis, parathesia (I get it spelled both ways) in my hands. It's supposed to be real bad nerve pain but to me it's like you dipped your hands in hot wax and it dried.

    I get people don't follow NASCAR, but he was a top driver for a number of years. You don't fly for Rousch and he low man on the totem pole as a driver. Rouch is "the" Ford team in NASCAR.
