    Wait till the checkout person ask if you want a senior citizen discount. Yes please. In the crazy world we live in the same person that ask if you want a senior citizen discount will also have asked minutes before for ID to show you are old enough to buy alcohol.

    UPS tracking, your package is in transit and on schedule to be delivered April 28th. You would think they tracking would change automatically to "delayed" when the date has passed.

    Maybe, but at the current price of oil there's not a lot of "new" exploration going on. They are still producing wells but not mass exploration at oil being $60/brl or less. My segment of industry is backwards. The more the price of oil/gas fall the busier we get with all the extended...

    Yeah, I think the way it works as a cleric you get all your pells you can cast at that level. Then you prepare a certain number and once prepared you can cast that spell as long as you have a spell slot for it or upcast it to a higher spell slot. LVL 1 spell so lvl 1 spell slot you chould be...

    Yeah I did a few quick searches for a similar system. Newegg came up a lot, I used to order odds and ends from them but nowdays I most likely would avoid them especially an entire computer. But I'm not very adventerous when it comes to buying stuff.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Just looking at twitch looks like D4 has a new season or whatever they call it. I paid for the game when it came out and never played out. The one stream I watched for a few minutes didn't look that enticing.

    Weather

    The Mississippi river is high apparently at least on the south end. Barge broke free in Baton Rouge and it wound up coming to a stop on top of the levee. I normally cross in Natchez but haven't been in a while. I didn't realise it had been raining thtat much further north.

    Yeah I would think for something like a place a short order cook would work needs a fair amount of foot traffic. They may still be popular up north or more urban areas. There is no foot traffic in the south for the most part. More likely to see a place that has special parking spots for dually...

    My niece and her son were over and her son who is in the 8th or 9th grade had never heard of a short order cook. Never been super popular here but I've ate at places that had them numerous times.

    I haven't opened my computer but I looked through my "stuff" and I had two 8 pin cables for a modular power supply and it's the only conmputer I've one in. More to think about. I looked up the gigabyte 3060ti to be sure and yeah it had a single 8 pin.

    I liked Sentinel league. I had 3 characters to level 90-95. Kind of in the "time to move on" mode now. I liked the league a lot but mostly due to the currency exchange deal that was introduced.

    Have a 3060 ti I am using as a backup now. It kind of whines at times. I guess I am in full use it till it burns up mode. If I got a 5070ti or 9070 I "may" have to change out PSU I'm not sure. It's 750watts but I have different connectors and it's a modular PSU but not really sure what I did...

    A pivoting walkway that I did the roof for that went to a river boat in Baton Rouge collapsed. Not the roof but the actual walkway. The fabricator called me today. No my problem, it passed inspection when fabbed and installed 30 years ago. The casino has been closed for a number of years and...

    I'm considering a new run, shadow monk is probably great. Eventually. The most gold I ever had in a run andd every vendor was just wait for a respawn picked clean lol. Even if you failed and they aggrod you could get away. I guess I'm going to research the new sub classes.
