Ended up ordering a Samsung Galaxy Xcover 4 and I probably overpaid, but I can have it in hand in a couple of days.
That would be all games you have currently installed. umm, whenever I start a steam game the steam executable starts first.
I actually met DJ premiere and Guru, made some off hand remark about Guru approaching drinking like it was an olympic sport. He was drunk AF. Didn't even know it was them. If I had I would have said some dumb fan boy thing instead, that's what everybody else did. I kept it cool by pure accident.
Gorgon replied to JFSOCC's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Nothing wrong with having 'useless' avenues for stat increases that might give you more options for dialogue for instance. I like the idea of making stats less important when weighed against feats, low stat requirements for feats would make for less min-maxing for instance. Are they called skills in Pillars, I can't even remember. EDIT : Skills, abilities and talents should have more diminishing returns imho, you could go all practical but the loss compared to trying out an 'unfeasible' path should be less. I hesitate to use the word 'powergamer' but that's usually what I wind up doing, I can't help myself. Whenever I play a game with less requirements and less lost in the creation of an unlikely build it feels liberating.
Getting an Android to replace POS windows phone. Heard good things about Xiaomi as well.
It is pretty odd that there have been no new STALKER games though,. I'd buy the hell out of one.
Animations are the same pretty much tho. So is it just a texture pack ?. They don't really hold up for 2017. The creatures that is, the HUD and weapon amims are new.
So it's a remake of Call of Pripyat? Nice. What I really want is a brand new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game (is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 ever going to happen?), the Metro games were great, but much more linear and scripted experiences (not that that's a bad thing), whereas S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was more open with much more emergent gameplay (one of the best emergent gameplay experiences ever IMHO). I'll take it.
I watched Jimmy Kimmel a few days ago he said stock had plummeted to the point where United could have bought all three passengers their own jet instead of kicking them off and the cost would have been the same. I don't think that a settlement will necessarily help United that much though, they may not be able to kiss and make up with a large bag of money, the damage to public perception will still be done.
Point being that it's completely meaningless without doing what it takes. If you remember Iraq, that could mean hundreds of people with free range to go wherever they please.
One of the first things he says is that Syria hasn't got chemical weapons. mmhmm. The process was simply Assad going 'here's what I got, come and get it'. No inspectors no nothing.
mmm. I find it unlikely that a bomb hit a rebel chemical weapons depo by chance. I also find it unlikely that it would all be a hoax designed to get the US more involved, but there is also the fact that chemical weapons are unique in their ability to penetrate to western TV screens. So much so that this negates much of their use on the battlefield, politically they don't seem worth it. My guess, a local commander did it of his own volition. Assad has chemical weapons tucked away for a rainy day, why wouldn't he. He's in a war, is he going to give up weapons. No, he's going to make a show of compliance and that will be enough.
So if everyone lost their scissors at the same time...
actually, there is. an ordinary english speaker would likely believe a passenger has boarded an airline when they physical step onto the plane. is at least one aviation attorney we spoke to who told us boarding is a process, and a passenger is not considered to have actual boarded until the plane leaves the terminal. law is replete with definitions which do not adhere to simple english meanings. most lawyers we know is gonna be very careful 'bout identifying actual meanings o' overbooked and boarded and whatnot. the problem with unique definitions and simple english readings is a frequent hurdle for Gromnir when attempting to explain Constitutional law to lay folks. folks read their pocket Constitution and become more confused when Gromnir explains what case law has interpreted the Constitution to actual be meaning. "but the tenth amendment says..." *shrug* typical, ambiguities in a contract is decided 'gainst the person who wrote the language in the contract, but is not always the case, and again, for airline travel you got custom and fed law to deal with. HA! Good Fun! Well a document like that should be parsable by the general public, so reasonably there should be definitions whenever ambiguity is an issue. Maybe there are, it's not like I read it. I sometimes wonder if legalese obscurity is a cunning plan to make sure no one but lawyers understand it so they will always be needed for translation.
When the sun is directly overhead in Hawaii, it looks like a bad video game render
we would caution 'gainst hiring this guy. am no more an expert on the subject matter than is he, but even we recognize what a shallow reading he gave the contract of carriage. boarding, for example, is a term o' art which seems to have a meaning divorced from simple english. likewise, federal laws is very much a factor when deciding when/how a passenger may be removed from a plane. the internet is a dangerous place. HA! Good Fun! Yeah but this is overbooking, that's covered by the customer-airline contract. The captain can deny anyone for the slimmest safety reason, the cops can have all kinds of cause, but again, this is explicitly a case of overbooking. Once you are on the plane you have boarded. I seriously doubt there is any legalese that would offer a different definition.
Lawyer youtube guy says there is no rule covering the forceful removal of an overbooked passenger, just removal due to 'unruly behavior'. Point being once you are on the plane it's too late to envoke overbooking. That happens at the gate. Who knows maybe that was intended to avoid just this kind of situation.
