    Looks like my 6p is toast. Wouldn't turn on over the last day. Finally turned on today and it's at 70%... it's been plugged into 4 different chargers over the last 24 hours and the battery isn't charged lol. Talking to huawei, their only option is to send my phone to them and be without it for...

    Oh we've gone periods of time where the only thing in his room is a bed. The problem is once he is over the edge he can't be reasoned with, there's little rational thought. Room gets cleared at school and he has to be restrained on occasion (probably more than a dozen times this year) and he...

    RIFT

    For general leveling, should I be grinding zones or are things like the instant adventures viable? Did one for the first time last night with my 30s bard and nobody seemed to understand what to do. I joined as 2 people were making their way to a rift on the other side of a castle, then 10...

    5mg, not sure we're really seeing any change in behavior really. Tomorrow at school will be the first test. My wife put off starting it a week to go down a rabbit hole w/ doterra.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    What do people use for legit digital movie purchases? We've historically used Amazon, but considering VUDU for future non-kiddie purchases because Amazon has declined to figure out how to intuitively provide bonus features - and often doesn't include them at all. I wish a service provided...

    My son did that too. We had a couple of parent-driven false starts where we had him sitting on a kid toilet for periods of time and he simply wasn't ready. Then one day - bam - potty trained. Just clicks/happens with a lot of kids. My daughter is coming along a little slower, but she's about...

    It isn't. Middle-Earth: Shadows of War is a Play Anywhere title. Edit: actually a few others too. - Fallout Shelter - Resident Evil 7 - Ark - Spheroids - Silence - Riptide GP: Renegade Those are all on/coming to PS4 I believe. Xbox Play Anywhere | Xbox

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Do any PS4 titles do this now? Presumably their deals with Sony and the setup with Blizzard might prevent them from using whatever MS uses to do this for other PC/Xbox titles.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Yeah, if they did that id consider skipping it entirely. Asinine content exclusivity would have a chance to do it too. Played the original on PS4, I wouldn't have liked it nearly as much as I did if it was missing the exclusive strike, being relatively light on content.

    Composite image of the Fomalhaut star system. The ALMA data, shown in orange, reveal the distant and eccentric debris disk in never-before-seen detail.

    Forza Horizon 3

    The Forza Horizon series is more of an arcade-style racer, Forza Motorsport is the Gran Turismo equivalent. Not a fan (due to my patience or ability) of the latter. So if you like the general idea of racing and like what you see, you'll probably like it. Big fan of the Flatout, Grid, etc style...

    Some of the layers are pretty fucking amazing, especially X-Ray. This is what it looks like via optical and something like Hubble. ' In the nebula's very center lies a pulsar: a neutron star as massive as the Sun but with only the size of a small town. The Crab Pulsar rotates about 30...
