I've always wondered why politicians get a massive break in the summer, seems like a really bad idea to have the people running the country not around to do their jobs in case of an emergency. I know they can be recalled, but still, that takes time. This isn't just a USA specific problem either.

That's what worries me a bit as well. As far as I'm aware, they seem to be pretty safe for now? Nostalrius WoW was a big private server that got shut down by Blizzard, but they were located in the USA. Turtle WoW is based in Europe (UK if what I found is accurate) and has done transformative work to the game, including working on a whole new compatible client in UE5 that should be releasing this year. But the issue still remains that they primarily have Blizzards assets, story, etc as the base of their game. I guess time will tell, I'm hoping it sticks around though.

Depends what you like, but I'm still nostalgic for old school WoW and find myself wanting to play every now and again but don't want to subscribe for a whole month. My recommendation for that would be Turtle WoW, it's an expanded vanilla private server that has it's own launcher and everything so it's pretty simple to get started with.

I had to stop myself from downvoting you out of frustration for just reading that comment. Like jesus fucking christ, 100+ people died and they're sitting on their ass worried about a 'six-figure deployment contract'. That's less than a million dollars! That's fucking nothing at a government level!!!

This is only a good idea if you live in a small town or if the road doesn't see much traffic, otherwise it is dangerous and illegal in some places.

I have a Milton Bradley Microvision from around 1979, the first handheld game system that used cartridges. I have the block breaker game, it still works but I think some components are wearing out as the game speed feels way too fast. Thing takes 2 9V batteries!

Congrats, it's been fun seeing these posts!

Man, I remember when WestJet was like the best of Canadian airlines, but that was when it was owned by employees. Guess who owns it now? Private fucking equity. Not a single thing they don't ruin.

Hmmm, no, couldn't be the climate change we've been warned about for decades, it's the chemicals the pilots are spraying secretly! If people are really dumb enough to eat this up, we're fucked.

There's this super dangerous one called H2O, apparently if enough accumulates in the atmosphere it will start to rain!

I think one of the biggest giveaways will be the voice recording and how they react to the situation. I doubt it will release publicly but it should give at least some idea to the Investigators.

And I was pretty surprised by the switches honestly, I figured they would have at least a guard and a spring loaded toggle, but it's just the spring loaded toggle. Those are used a lot for any switch you don't want moving accidentally, so it wasn't super unique or anything.

Turtle WoW is great, I'm dreading Blizzard shutting it down though. I'm hoping they avoid them but I feel their upcoming remastered client might attract too much attention.

 

Seriously needed this, I've not been excited about playing a game in a while now. 15 minutes in and loving it so far. Oblivion may not be the best game, but it was one of the first open world RPG games I ever played and holds a special place in my heart for that.

 

Moosehead Breweries, founded in 1867, released on Friday a giant crate of 1,461 cans of lager — which, assuming about one beer a day, is “just enough to get through the full presidential term” of US President Donald Trump.

The “Presidential Pack” is being sold only on Moosehead’s website. It’s available to residents living in the Canadian provinces of Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia for about $3,500 CAD ($2,400 USD), including delivery.

Damn, not avaliable in my province 🫎 Also one beer a day to survive the next 4 years is... optimistic.
