Don’t forget about insurance and property tax. The monthly payment isn’t all you have to spend.

Registration fees too.

I had never paid much attention to Kimmel, (or any late night host personality) but sure I’ll watch Kimmel now.

Doesn’t seem like that would be effective on something like the interstate highways. I’d imagine actually fining people would work.

An area close to where I live turned on speeding cameras for a work zone that’s been notorious for speeders. They clocked 38,000+ tickets in the first week.

One of them was for 106 in a 60 mph zone. I haven’t kept up with it since they turned it on but it was desperately needed.

Disclosure: I’m not any expert on road safety or driver psychology. Just someone that used to drive 50k+ miles a year and saw a lot of what I thought were trends.

Well, honestly they’re not really good for anything. Most manufacturers use a bake type method, which is not in anyway comparable to a house engulfed in actual flames.

As a general consumer, this is about the best you can do. Put whatever in a “fireproof” bag inside a “fireproof” safe and you might save your data in the event of a fire.

It’s the same thing about gun “safes”. They’re not really safes unless you spend big money. Like $10,000+. Otherwise they’re categorized as “residential containers”.

I should have clarified whether or not my answer was in response to “is it possible” instead of “is it recommended”.

I think they mean if you’re using removable media that is easily portable then the answer to your question about fire proofing is doable.

You can store them in a fire safe when not actively backing up or need constant access.

I will admit, it certainly comes across like that. But it was more an illustration of how America works. This entire event is some crazy satire political cartoon that manifested itself.

The 76 year old driving an S.U.V. faced no charges.

If you go for the 2” thick filters they breathe better and have more surface area.

When I worked in foodservice, we bought it by the gallon. People would ask for it as a dressing on their salads. Gross.

Typical South Eastern US.

It used to be easy to build a PC that was double the performance of a console for the same price. And it was even easier if you sourced slightly used current hardware. Now you’re lucky to get last gen hardware for a decent price used. The market is garbage.

Back in 2014 you could get brand new motherboards for ~$50, where it’s difficult to find any under $150 that provide decent features. I think the most expensive thing at the time was NAND due to flooded factories but everything else was super cheap.

It’ll be like Virginia where they just add on a character.

They’re features, not bugs in Bethesda games.

I’ve worked at a couple of Mom & Pop places in the south during my youth, and generally they were terrible with money, racist, and tried avoiding taxes any way they could.

Small sample size with a sprinkle of confirmation bias on my end, but there are usually signs.

Always need help? Discount on cash purchases? Making the customer pay the credit card transaction fee?

There are many others, but those are generally the biggest ones where management is just interested in customer sympathy and the bottom line.

That’s disheartening to hear. At least Tesla has to sell cars to even stick around and it doesn’t look good for them in Europe so far.

I was about to say, this seems pretty slam dunk for them.

It’s wild, I don’t remember the Witcher 3 being anywhere near this bad. I had my own issues in that game regarding the combat and some bs moments that made me reload and lose an hour because I was dumb and didn’t quick save, but cyberpunk doesn’t even feel like a cdpr game. Which is good in some ways I guess that they were able to break their own mold.

Idk, there’s just a bunch of little issues still. But if this is what it’s like 4 years later I can’t even imagine what it was like at launch.

I picked up cyberpunk last summer (finally) and while it’s visually stunning and fairly immersive, I had some game breaking bugs where I had to reload several hours beforehand and redo certain missions until they triggered properly. Not once, but several times. And I didn’t even mod anything.

I think my favorite was fast traveling with Claire, ending up in the sky and falling out of the truck. Reloaded, did the mission again only to splatter myself and die because I got shot out of the truck. Third time she wouldn’t stop driving around the block. I let it go for a good half hour just to see if it would end but it never did. Eventually the AI just kept driving into the wall of a building. Reloaded….again.

There were a lot of others but that took me all afternoon just to finish that one race. I had probably a dozen similar issues throughout my playthrough and it really tanked my enthusiasm for the game. I’ll finish it eventually.

Yea this stinks of someone’s palms not getting greased enough.

They did give out actual Gwent decks when you preordered the expansions. Idk who made them, Warner Bros I think, but they’re pretty good.

Thank you for putting a name to a face. I’ve seen these gifs forever and never knew who they were.
