Then yeah, that’s at least pretty weird. Is it like…HS logos on it, clearly a high school uniform? Or is it like…work casual clothes that just also happen to meet uniform requirements?

Lol he’s had quite a few issues on previous set ups. I think he has already broken 2 previous engines, but I think they were R1 engines? Don’t quote me on that tho

Herlings is still that dude. Guy just looks stupid fast still, but…Lucas Coenen looks better when he isn’t on the ground. Vialle still solid, Gajser finally showed up. Good to see Kay de Wolf showing up too; I was expecting way more from him.

250s are basically Sacha Coenen show I think. Langenfelder is lacking something right now, Farres being the surprise 3rd right now I think. Everts still likes crashing a bit too much, but he’s looked good when he’s up. Reisulis in a year or 2 I think will be the top guy. He just keeps getting better.

Tomac getting hurt is huge. Big shakeup, and basically turns this into a 2 horse race in the last 3 rounds. Kenny still looking very solid, and this may be the best he’s looked since his wild 2017 injury. Idk if he has the straight speed to beat Hunter, but he’s way more consistent currently. It’ll be interesting to see how it shakes out. Gotta mention JCoop too, guy has been solid lately. Just wish he’d find this at the beginning of the season.

250 was pretty wild. Thrasher pulling it out, just another guy who has speed and no consistency. Landen Gordon being a rookie pulling out 2nd is everything Dudney was unable to put together earlier. Both are young, both will still have shots, but Gordon looks great. Hammaker down 21, unless Davies fully tosses a race away. Guy has the worst luck I think.

I guess it depends on the uniform. Plental of people wear college sports jerseys or other stuff displaying their Alma mater, but I guess thay isn’t strictly a “uniform”. If you’re wearing the designated, every day uniform if a high school or something as an adult well past the age, then I wonder what the motives for it are.

I’ve really liked this dudes stuff for a while. I don’t follow him specifically but he’s just the right level of knowledgeable, sarcastic, and self-deprecating that it’s entertaining. Plus he’s doing some interesting stuff

Concerning shock would be that you find it hard to let go; the current causes muscles to contract and your hand to close, and you actively have to make yourself let go. Appliances and household voltage can do so, but there is no mistaking it when it happens, and it’s not something you just brush off, especially if it happens repeatedly. And then why would you be the only one experiencing it?

I’d be having people recreate your conditions; if you open it early, length of time, close time proximity to when it occurs. What would you think the cause is, if not something similar to faulty appliance?

I don’t think that’s biology. Old CRT style TVs used to emit a really high pitch frequency, and from the ground floor, I could hear if the basement TV was on. With laptops, if it’s an older one or you have a bad power supply, you may be smelling ozone and that’d your queue, or if your room is small with little to no circulation, you may just be sensitive to the heat coming off it. As for the microwave, it may be faulty or ungrounded. If you were getting shocked by a running microwave, I do not think it would be like a static shock where you just get a little crack. They don’t deal with low power or voltage, it would be a concerning shock that you receive.

Is it just the slight vibration-type shock? I had a laundry dryer with a bad fuse be “live” one time, where if you touched it, you’d be getting shocked, but it was low voltage. But with the regular machine vibration and due to it not being a really powerful shock, it was hard to notice, plus like a microwave, when you pop the door, it largely turns off. The machine vibration coupled with the low power shock, I legitimately didn’t know it was shocking me for like…a few weeks. Because it was such a quick interaction with the machine, if you even touched it while it was on in the first place, it’d be hard to notice.

Yeah, we’re not starting off on a solid foundation, for sure

Concord didn’t last long enough for anyone to notice anything lol

I mean, we’re all rational here, I assume, so that would be a pretty big stretch to say it was shoved down your throat. If you wouldn’t feel threatened by a dude at the store saying you looked cute, then I don’t think BG3 is any worse. The women throw themselves at you equally as quickly as the men, if not more so. Lazel seems like she hates you, and then by like Day 2 is like “well, we may as well smash, you do well with a sword and that’s what counts”.

What games in the same vein as KCD2 have shoved hat relationships down players throats?? What would they even be referencing as the “woke” games?

Imagine finding a way to piss off everyone simply by opening your stupid mouth…lol

Without incarceration? I don’t think there is a massive anti-incarcerarion argument in the US, to a point. With the current iteration, sure, but other countries do incarceration correctly, where rehabilitation is the focus. But I don’t think there is an appropriate option for those crimes (jaywalking withheld lol) that isn’t some kind of separation from “polite society”. Obviously grey areas exist in some cases; self-defence, crimes of passion, etc where there are mitigating details, but just in general, I wouldn’t have any good options for those cut and dry convicted criminals that isn’t incarceration of some form. I guess the option would be round the clock services and supervision for redirection and rehabilitation? But that has a whole host of problems and you’d likely need a dozen or so people per convict? As well as housing facilities, and specialized workers for therapy/education, etc, and then it looks a lot like prison, just without the physical walls at that point.

I would agree the US version would not be helpful though, aside from attempting to give society some kind of satisfaction of “justice served”.

It’s crazy that the company won’t allow this. If it doesn’t effect your work, then the only reason to not approve it seems to be because the health and care for your wife should come second to the company. That’s pretty shit and it sucks that was a choice you had to make.

I did “haha” up until somewhat recently. I started using lol sarcastically, and it quickly bled over into the haha usage. I can’t break the habit either…

I do tend to ignore the flat bottoms of both KY and VA, I’m thinking more of the “divot” before the meaty part of the leg occurs being more prominent in VA, whereas KY is a uniform-ish slope.

Maybe a 1a and 1b situation for “States shaped like poultry” ranking lol

I feel like that’s what enhances it? Lol I think of a chicken leg as like…skinny bone with a bulb on the end, and VA has more of that imo. KY ends up being more like a uniform line until it gets to the think part. 🍗 shape. I also just mean I’m reference to the shape itself, not as a memory tool. I’m from WV so I loooove the void we left in VA lol

Virginia has a similar shape tho, if not more chicken-like because it’s larger on the meaty portion

One of the few games I enjoy buying on multiple platforms.

Coenen looks wild in MXGP. Dude blew past Herlings twice, in the sand. That doesn’t happen. Already looking to be a 2 horse race, but Febvre can’t be counted out, and de Wolf will probably get more consistent soon. Gajser does not seem to be liking the Yamaha either, Vialle seems to be averaging out, but he looks like a solid top 5 guy, which I don’t think he would be in the US.

MX2, other Coenen kinda tossed the win to Langenfelder. Everts looks strong too, Belgium will be a force at MXdN for the foreseeable future. Also, Reisulis deserves a mention, as well as Farres and McLellan. Strong results, especially from the Triumph boys.
