Meh. She's still a "secret" party member that you're very unlikely to accidentally unlock on a good run.

This is just letting experienced forum-rrading players recruit her a bit more easily.

It was probably closer to $30, but a squeezy poop claw to clean up after my dog. Works so much better than a shovel.

Ukraine is attacking military targets. That's the big difference here.

used to alert the rider that the software has overridden user input

I think this is the whole point. Riders were asking more of the boards than the boards could do, and when the board was unable to comply the rider would lose their balance. Haptic feedback tells the rider "nah, not doing that" so they're aware the board isn't going to do the thing and can adjust their balance accordingly.

“Market prices for this new housing are likely to far exceed the already high prices that existed in Lahaina before the fire. For renters, the old housing stock that was destroyed provided opportunities for reasonable rents,”

I think this is the issue. Poor folks live in older buildings. Can't rebuild new old, run-down cheap neighborhoods.

My dad (silent generation): Back in my day, a guy could get a job at a gas station and be able to own a house and support a stay-at-home wife and kids. I dunno how you kids make it.

Me (gen X): Back in my day, a guy could get a job at a gas station and afford rent and food. I dunno how you kids make it.

I'm not sure when the guy in the comic was born. Medieval times maybe? Because economic conditions for working class folks have been getting steadily worse for the entire lifespan of everyone alive today, at least in the US.

Playing music. Started on a shitty hand-me-down acoustic guitar. Got a better guitar. Got an electric. Got a better amp. Got a couple of pedals. Got a better amp. Got like 6 more amps, some cabs, 5 more guitars, a huge pedalboard, a cello, a keyboard, an audio interface, attenuators, mics, etc etc.

You gotta understand... I need all this stuff. There are subtle differences that you've never noticed before but will probably hear once I do an a/b comparison for you, and I absolutely must get an AC15 next to round out the collection instead of buckling down and recording something.

r/interestingasfuck and r/shittylifeprotips are both total free-for-alls. Nsfw, spez hate spam, random shitposts... I assume r/pics is still John Oliver. NSFW subs are posting Christian content.

Reddit is kinda on fire at the moment.
