A surgery that my little one needed was being denied by insurance two weeks ago. Yesterday when calling for the pre surgery instructions we were notified that last surgery was approved. So we were doing all three requested surgeries at once and only having to put her under once.

I don’t know if this was the cause but there was a 180 on the approval.

Cold turkey worked for me. But it wasn’t this big thing. One day I didn’t want to go to the gas station to get more and that turned into, how long could I go? And now I smoke once a year on my friends birthday and HATE the taste.

You missed the (and doing it properly) part. Could you do it on his setup? sure. Could you do it on your setup recommendations? Sure. Could you do it on a little raspberry pi? Probably. A industry standard best practice for backup is 3-2-1. Do all companies follow industry best practices? Heavens no. Redundancy is great, it may save you from calling someone at triple rates for after hours support only to find your one 48 port switch failed. It’s all about what risk you are willing to take on any of this.

It’s not a word but ‘…’ ok… thanks… I guess…

What do you want? Is it on our do you want something else? It’s fine…

Cmon…

Because the last dog I rescued cost me $7k in vet bills and needed to be put down a month and a half later due to health issues anyway. We had him just long enough to get attached. Then i spent all night with him puking up more blood then i thought he could have in him.

If I buy a puppy from a breeder I know it’s genetics and can make sure it doesn’t have pre existing conditions from abuse.

Miss you Fen…

I played 100 hours before I found out Sprint was shift. And I loved every minute of it

I would rather not assume someone is just out to troll. I’m sure in a life-threatening circumstance, they could do any of the lines you listed.

But if they don’t have to and could just pay a little more for someone delivering it oh well. Will they pay through the nose for the convenience? Sure. Is it still a lot of money for the convenience? Yes.

Given how active flying squid is I don’t think he is just out here intentionally trolling. I could be wrong.

To OPs defense, i didn’t put 1 and 1 together until you spelled it out either. Wouldn’t have crossed my mind that the smell in an enclosed space would bother you.

Regardless of the rest i hope your daughter enjoyed her treat!

It’s less bs than you think, still unlikely sure, but not a non zero chance.

For awhile their was a single point of failure in telcom for the midwest in the us. Because the core router was so old and didn’t play well with failover. It took them several months and a lot of intermittent issues to get it replaced and working as expected.

Unfortunately you saying that still has the same credibility as your first statement. It’s just your word. I don’t doubt they do on occasion but to say ALWAYS refer to themselves that way is a lot to take on word alone.

I didn’t say automated bands based on reports. Yeah those lead to harassment and abuse. Obviously not a good case for automation.

But injecting code into the game with a 3rd party client could be automated if detected. That’s what i meant by automated bans.

What was said wasn’t an insult. “Your momma…” are jokes, “you suck do bad…” are insults. Tbagging a dead body is an insult.

Implying you are going to rape someone and then saying it’s not rape because you would enjoy it isn’t a typical “insult”.

So yeah i read what they said. It just didn’t really apply to the situation.

I 100% agree with enough mutes/blocks leading to a manual thing.

Automated bans are not great but they have a time and place. Theoretically they are getting better.

My point is something should be done about these things. I don’t have the answers, but something needs to be done.

Her saying she isn’t going to mute him doesn’t give him the go ahead to say the things he did.

Could this be a publicity stunt? Sure. Does any of this make what he said ok? No

Did you even listen to what was said? Insults are one thing but alluding to rape and then saying it’s not rape if the rapist enjoys it. Is on a whole different level of depravity.

The problem is you know you have to mute them/ block them after they say/ do something bad to you. When you block them it may stop them from doing that to you but it doesn’t stop them from doing it to others on the game. Making it a bad experience for others.

Mute/personal blocks do not fix the root problem which is the toxic players being toxic in the game.

Thanks for this! I may try this on my pond

Windows server license and CALs… don’t forget that extra little cost just because from MS

I’ve listened to thousands of hours of audio books and this is my go to player for sure. I tried a couple other ones again recently and ended up coming back to this one. Simple and easy to use. It does have a problem moving books occasionally if they are in the root directory and not a sub folder. I just make sure my books are in sub folders when i get them.
