    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.

    The Fast Food Thread

    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...

    Well it's not true DnD but when can solo it with true negative AC the entire time....you still hear a lot of people that AC is king in BG3. Damage reduction a lot of people ignore it but with items and stuff like heavy armor master you can literally take zero damage if you know what you are...

    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'd have to look up what was new and what was already in the game. Lot you can do especially if you multiclass.I mean people even finish...

    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...

    Building two in Louisiana near a nuclear plant. I figured they would at some point. On the MS river and within 100 miles of 3 nuclear plants. Too bad come summer time when it's 100 degrees for a while some poeple will be without power, so let's add a lot more demand. They haven't added any power...

    I don't have kids, and don't really know what Roblox is. But how can anyone not heard about how bad it is with adults chasing kids on there? Seems like it comes up pretty often for some time here and elsewhere. Or like you said they trust their kid.

    There's a shitload of workers in the US that below the 1% threshold in skills. I've never worked anywhere as an adultl that anyone made minimum wage. Lots of people now think fast food should a life long career, and not only a career that pays well enough to afford a house. Maybe work on...

    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. I think those types are a minority and most likely not people who work on video games. Nobody is going to...

    They have umpteen actual parades. Each crew has one. The big ones are on or near Mardi Gras. The smaller ones for smaller towns that are family oriented are always earlier. We sure don't get Mardi Gras off here unlike Louisiana does. Not mine. My sister lives adjacent to Baton Rouge in a parish...

    Same here Saturday. Woke up to the sound of the wind blowing. 35-40mph. The forecast was way off for the day but tonight it's dropping down about like predicted. Can't imagine going to hustle for beads with windchill in the single digits. Imagine reaching to pickup a bead or doubloon and...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    I read some time ago the woman on there that was the sister of Redd Foxxs wife. Esther (LaWanda Page) was a big comedian and at one time a fire dancer. Reading the story she was terrible at first but Redd Foxx wanted her. She couldn't do a script at all and needed to adlib so that's what she did.

    Crazy part is silver had a 25% hit and is only back to where it was about 3 weeks ago. Lot of people didn't want to be left holding the bag at the top. Guess we'll see. Did learn that the Chinese market price of silver includes their tax/vat or whatever it is.
