I can't remember the name of the book now, but in high school we read a 'true' story of child abuse. I'm sure it was edited to both tone down and turn up certain elements, but it was pretty much a brutal shock to people who are mostly from decent families that love them. Whether the kids were rich, poor, or middle class in my school, just about everyone there could at least return home to parents that didn't commit those horrors.

I remember the diapers, the exposure to the elements, and the way the other children were pitted against the abused kid, and honestly? It was the emotional abuse that was the worst to read.

You'd be amazed how many people learn the hard way that they first need to head to a separate store to buy a gas container, then head to the gas station. Most places could care less about keeping a container on premises because it is both a rare situation these days, and storage is at a premium in most stores. If you saw the back room or manager's office, you would see the floor-to-ceiling stacks of inventory (usually drinks or tobacco products).

I tried a while ago to get SC2 working, but didn't have luck. Are there any tricks to it these days?

I love the little aside about the rust. Some journalists still have fun.

It's okay, we're in this together. Though, my rig runs just about everything at medium graphics without issue. Elden ring ran on high settings without dropping my frames to a noticeable level.

Look up the CCPgrey video about who holds the keys to the kingdom. Napoleon wasn't necessarily being dismissive when he called England a nation of merchants. They were very good at organizing power structures in ways that benefited them.

Good god, there are still people who believe in phrenology!

Think of the children!

I'll believe they're thinking of the children when they use that phrase to make laws that agree with the environmental groups and governing bodies.

Jesus, my friend cycles between mechanical efficiency and sexual orientations like a clown in a stripper juggling show. Now I know why!

I use the one in the pic, and I have to say it is pretty damn good at predicting rain.

That one put me in fear every time I walked into a room in my house for weeks. I would always be looking above the door and to the sides, just in case a spider was on the wall ready to pounce. ugh!

I still do. If it works, it works. Until my video card self-immolates, I'll keep using it. Damn these modern infants and their cable endings! shakes fist at sky
