    This came up before and some super leftist came up with some stuff I really never could follow. His "plan" was to not have gains set per year so he wanted to have taxes on quarterly gains or whatever he came up with in his math. Sad part at least in this country not sure about there these people...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    It's kind of like when channels started putting out a lot of shorts because they said youtube wanted you to, to help with getting shown as a recommended channel. Now a lot (not all) of channels are full in on the AI talking and reading shit that they just googled. I don't watch them but a few I...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    I guess some people it gets expensive all the travleing to conventions and stuff. My personal hobbies are not cheap, gunsmithing/owning a lathe/mill, hunting all across north America, guitars and flying giant scale R/C planes up to 42% scale with 200cc gas engines. Gaming is cheap.

    That was extremely bad. We just got power. Apparently lots of stuff from Baton Rouge to here are without power. We are 100 miles away. Apparently 6 tornado watches at once in the Florida parishes from Baton Rouge east along I-12 to I-55.

    2026 Winter Olympics!

    Friend of mine was in a wheelchair and played wheelchair basketball. Beyond rough. Not uncommon for someone to break a finger or they have to call timeout to get everyone back in the chairs again after a fight/collison broke out.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    When the son of your niece calls you and says "so you're the computer guy". I provided the computer because he is starting high school and not a big phone user and I had an extra. I have to turn off my phone.. I thought maybe he needed real computer advice. Hows to make the LEDs do such such...

    Health Problems

    This may not be news. But before I got an actual diagnosis every doctor just piled on pain releivers to no end, seems like at one time I had a prescription for all kinds except for morphine and fentanyl. I didn't need most of them and filled them and just kept them for "later". Now that I have...

    What tickles your pickle

    I got paid today. I know that sounds odd. I got the call that money was inbound and I thought surely it was a mistake. But transfered in shortly after. The money I get comes from the company that leased the mineral rights not who did something with the oil. Who the hell is drilling with the...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Finding new and inventive ways to die. Jumping from island to island in the astral prism after you kill the inquisitor. Jumped and kinda glaced off and kept falling and faling and falling. It took a long time to actually die. Reading up on it, happened to others at times. New one to me.

    I rarely eat at McDonalds since I worked there in high school. I wish they would bring back the McDlt but they couldn't now since it required styrofoam for the container it came in. Now they use something paper like.

    The game definetly spreads out when you get to act 3. The guy at Larian apparently said they had left the ending open ended enough for someone to build onto it for the next whatever. Of course it's not up to him. If someone is working on the game if you have the ability to disguise self or work...

    Each class got a new subclass in patch 8. All classes can finish the game even on solo hardcore "if" you know a enough about the game and all the encounters.

    I don't have an account and have looked at some of the silver subreddits as of late to see people piling on when it was at or near an all time high.

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    Good to know. I haven't looked into it in years. I know that used to be the "hard" part for making a rifle from scratch and if you watch some videos some of the gun makers are using machines that are multiple decades old to do rifling. It was much easier to buy a rifled blank barrel and chamber...

    Here's a novel concept. If you think your job or employeer sucks quit and get a new one. Kind of like minimum wage, your employer would pay you less if they could because your skill set sucks. Nobody is guaranteed a job, especially the job they want and like. Related to people that take out more...

    Only one of the shops in my industry are unionized and they get tons of oversite from OSHA and others. The one that is unionized gets different benefits, not really more and not more pay for being unionized. When I worked in San Antonio they had a shop in northeast MS that could ship via the...

    Some trade unions will help train and find a job if you lose yours. Like if you get laid off they might can find you one in another local whatever. Not that I am in any way a fan of unions.
