I clicked the provided link, long pressed the link button, then clicked the address on the popup which got the thread to load. After finding the comment myself, I hit Copy Link in boost and got a db0 link out of it, which is odd.
I was in a rush and I needed to pick up a quick snack that I could eat during class. I chose these Nature Valley bars which said they had ten bars inside. What I failed to notice is the tiny print at the bottom where it says 5 x 2, i.e., 5 packets with two bars....
I actually like the taste of pure cranberry juice, but it’s too expensive to buy just for drinking so I mostly end up drinking half the bottle while I cook holiday meals after I’ve started the cranberry sauce
I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a ‘user...
This is a pretty maintained list, and even if I disagree with the inclusion of some things because all you’re missing is cosmetics, it is pretty easy to argue that “complete game offline” should include all content of that game, so I’m not gonna start a fight about it
In a since-deleted post on her site Pottermore, the writer argued that while freeing the slaves was noble in isolation, being enslaved is what’s better for the elves right now and they should stay that way until they politely ask to not be enslaved.
I don’t know who the original writer is and I don’t know of an archived copy before Pottermore ended and everything was transferred to Wizarding World, but I believe it’s from an era of Pottermore where she wrote the blog entries herself
Nah the actual in universe explanation is that Dobby is weird for wanting to be freed. Literal direct quote from Goblet of Fire
“But Harry set Dobby free, and he was over the moon about it!” said Hermione. “And we heard he’s asking for wages now!”
“Yeah, well, yeh get weirdos in every breed. I’m not sayin’ there isn’t the odd elf who’d take freedom, but yeh’ll never persuade most of ’em ter do it — no, nothin’ doin’, Hermione.”
Hermione looked very cross indeed and stuffed her box of badges back into her cloak pocket.
I mean, using a controller in and of itself is not suspect, but the model they used is the cheapest one you can get with a recognizable name and is known for being unreliable, which is absolutely a suspect decision to make when it’s the only method of control
I’ve got a VPN set up on my home server so when I leave the house, my public IP is still the same on my laptop as it is at home. If you’ve got people sending you messages directly via IP why wouldn’t you just set that up?
Not actually! I mean, yes, you’d need another device, but your router itself can be the VPN host if it’s the right model. The VPN server software is extremely lightweight, so most higher end routers just include it as an option in management, but you can get away with a cheap router and something like a cheap raspberry pi/clone, which would also give you something to put pihole on
Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.
My main monitor is a 27 inch so the task bar is only like 23 inches, but the amount of stuff I have open at any given time has my taskbar 2/3 of the way across my screen. That said, I’ve had mine at the top of the screen ever since my iMac G3 and Windows 11 doesn’t allow that either
Brotherhood skipped a lot of stuff that was in FMA03 on the assumption that anyone watching Brotherhood at release would have also seen 03 and would know the divergence point, which does weaken Brotherhood to an extent as time passes and more people watch it without 03.
While I feel Brotherhood had a better ending, I still really like the ending of 03. The writers had to basically guess an ending based on an incomplete manga? And they went for a really personal, small stakes ending that lined up with the clues given and I think they did a really good job. Mangahood ended with a giant nationwide crisis and the intensity of the stakes at that point made it clear the home team would succeed. FMA03’s final conflict was so personal that you could believe the bad ending was a possibility, and in some minor ways I appreciate it
What does this post have to do with anything when it launched on PC the same day as PS5 and XSX? As well, a 10 year old pc would likely have a GTX 1070 or better and that’s enough to run the game just fine?
It does currently have ads at random on the home screen, but they’re static images. This is about the addition of video ads that play when you select an input
“literally” being used to mean “figuratively” dates back to 3 years after the word “literally” began meaning “actually”. If this is a hill to die on, you need to use “literally” exclusively to mean “as written in the texts”. Common usage of “literally” to mean “actually” and “figuratively” both date to the 1590s
