They usually release a half assed PC port about a year+ or so later. If you are excited to play those games...get a used 360 and play it on that.
I admit that it looks amazing, and it may very well be a great game...but I couldn't be less interested in it. I'm sure I'm in the minority there, they will make a ton of money on it.
Alarm 1: Do you want/need to go in early? Alarm 2: Do you want to go in on time? Alarm 3: This as late as you should probably go in...
You get better sleep if you set it for the last possible minute. Harder to do than snooze, but it's true. But if you are just hitting snooze because you don't want to get up instead of being tired I guess it doesn't matter.
Not that it's a good idea, but the autopilot already does just about all of the flying. They did this on Mythbusters...the myth of the tower talking a non-pilot down. Wouldn't happen these days because the autopilot is perfectly capable of landing the plane.
I am talking about large commercial cargo or passenger planes...not bug smashers, of course.
I knew someone in the military that was getting ready to leave for another assignment for several months. The last thing he did before he left his house was take a leak. The flapper didn't seal and the toilet ran for about 2 months. I don't remember what the bill was, but it was astronomical. I'm pretty sure the water co. worked with him on it though.
I live alone, usually only take one shower a day.....hell, I'm sure I don't even average one shower a day (see the live alone statement)....and I pay about $30-$35 a month for gas just for hot water (tank style heater). And the shower is the only use of hot water, and I always take quick showers thru the week because I sleep until the last possible second. I use paper plates and plastic utensils (see, live alone) about 98% of the time so there is no dishwasher, only wash clothes with cold.
So, at least where I live (which is probably cheaper than most other places) a gas tank water heater is gonna be about that much a month even if you barely use it.
I'm sure it's possible that I have just always missed them...but I can't recall ever seeing a meter man anytime in the last 15 years. And I have worked 1st shift, 2nd shift, 3rd shift, and not at all in that time frame. Maybe they just don't do that at all in my area.
Or, just move to one of the places in California that won't bother you about it. Back when I still did that, I got sick of paying for it and got a book about how to grow the "right" way. One of their suggestions for the drawing so much power problem was to get something that could set outside and would draw a lot of power...electric kiln, Tesla coil, etc. They were very adamant about not stealing the power though.
Ofc, none of that will help you if they flyover your house with an IR camera. Not to go all tinfoil hat, but I watched a black helicopter obviously flying a pattern to cover the whole area a while back. I don't live in the best of neighborhoods (it certainly isn't the ghetto, but there is a LOT of top tier vwhite trash....they found a mobile meth lab in the dumpster of the local mini-mart a few months ago) added to that, it's in the main flight path to the local airport...the planes are on approach by the time they are over us, you NEVER see heli's flying around there.
I interned for a rather large company that makes personal hygiene products longer ago than I care to remember. The plant I worked at was located in the mid-western US. I recall how all the plant workers and management were just so fired up about how 'Wal-Mart has increased our business so much over the last couple years...it's saved this plant'
Wal-Mart did exactly what you mention to them. Until they couldn't afford to pay American workers anymore...because they absolutely couldn't afford for Wal-Mart to not stock their shelves with their products. I ride past that closed down plant every day on my way to work...
This is what it did to me on TV the other day....I have a huge buffer built up in the Celtics Heat game. I wasn't recording it, just pausing it when I went to the kitchen, or to do laundry, or when someone calls. In the middle it does the storm alert, and poof...no more buffer. I missed most of the second half.
Not saying it shouldn't exist, just that it really pissed me off that night. I know, all I had to do was hit record and it would have kept everything.
I know...and still pretty damn popular. I always hated that game....but I played it for hours and hours just because all my friends that gamed online loved it.
It's come out that they had more than enough transport capability to get him out. After the 2 modified "stealth" blackhawks landed they had 2 chinooks come in behind them. There were something like 79 people involved (I might have the number wrong).
They were told before they left to kill him...maybe it was wink-wink-nudge-nudge, but that was a hit from the start. Doesn't really bother me either....what does bother me are the things I read (speculation ofc) that said the military thought they might have to fight the Pakistani military on the way out. That could have turned into an absolute nightmare.
You would never have a security case. I almost want to email you. Every single PC I've ever had there was ONE virus. I know what I'm doing. Get out of the way is what I said.
And management wouldn't fire me, I am goddamned good at what I do.
True, but we are their best customer. You don't chase your best customer off. This is way way way better than what we used to have. Which was blowing all of us up.

a couple months ago I used one of my "anytime minutes". I told everyone I used my anytime minute.
I did away with snooze. I have 3 alarms now.
Alarm 1: Do you want/need to go in early?
Alarm 2: Do you want to go in on time?
Alarm 3: This as late as you should probably go in...

You should have said melting down. (I would have to say that I lean a little towards pro-nuclear...but that is still funny.

You know...I live in a duplex and noticed that there is a 120 running from my circuit box to the apt on the other side. I better check that shit out.
I know the people very well, they have 2 older children and 2 newborn twins, I've been in their side many many times....but you can never be too sure.

Then I think you're out...because I'm pretty sure they've already said that there's no LAN play.
You get 10% off Duke Nukem Forever if you pre-order on steam. That should tide you over.
I almost really pre-ordered because I thought it would be funny. Not $45 funny though.
I know...and still pretty damn popular. I always hated that game....but I played it for hours and hours just because all my friends that gamed online loved it.
Full disclosure...I was downright awful at it.
It's come out that they had more than enough transport capability to get him out. After the 2 modified "stealth" blackhawks landed they had 2 chinooks come in behind them. There were something like 79 people involved (I might have the number wrong).

nat gas....we haves it
haha...funny.
ok...you got to say whoosh. Congrats. I wasn't arguning with you.
I think it was....but you can't call me out for going OT

we are all smartasses....we've met each other....he was a smartass...not a troll
haha. I pay your salary and it makes you mad.
Fact remains. Wherever it is that you work....ppl like me pay your salary....and you hates it. Making widers work is easy....making money is hard.
we aren't going to convince each other...I bet we would get along famously,
True, but we are their best customer. You don't chase your best customer off. This is way way way better than what we used to have. Which was blowing all of us up.
