As pleasant as that looks, it matters not to me.

I ask my barber for the "full works", sit back, and close my eyes for half hour listening to whatever generic chilled dance playlist he's got going on YouTube. It could be a dude, a woman, or anything in between, it doesn't matter.

When he slaps my shoulders and says "ok boss, what do you think?", that's my cue to get up and leave.

It's my brief moment of indulgence every other month or so. Bliss.

If the designated driver goes rogue, then it's on them to pay the taxi fare home.

Expensive (probably) but simple.

Also, cool as fuck. Nice job!

Buy a six month supply, get double data on your next phone plan.

Things that also give you this sort of motivation:

  • Labelling machines;
  • New drill;
  • Air fryers;
  • Pressure washers;;
  • Chainsaws

No I largely agree. My limited understanding of modern firearms would suggest that with an unmodified firearm, the safety catch would have had to have been manually disengaged (which is daft enough) and whatever has actuated the trigger must have pulled evenly on the trigger safeties too, which I'm finding really unusual.

If they've modified their weapon system though, then yeah it could be all sorts of jank interfering with the safety systems.

I'm still not entirely convinced it's an actual discharge. The video feed I saw on the Bluesky post didn't have sound so the discharge can't be heard, and there's no signs of impact on the snow or pavement, though in fairness the video is of a low frame rate.

I can't quite see how that weapon discharges though.

The guy's arms are well out flailing at the time of the flash negating a flinch reaction or grab of the trigger, and it seems to be before the full fall which would eliminate the possibility of a mechanical failure.

I can only imagine the trigger hooked on a piece of equipment. I thought it might be something else but it sure looks like a muzzle flash.

edit: In fact, that's a really really focussed beam of light, perhaps it was some sort of tactical light mounted on the underside or side of the weapon?

I was surprised that two thirds of folk here think to be fair.

I gave up thinking years ago. I got bored of the smell of burning.

no no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there's no lyrics

Easy now, let's actually make it believable

Central Business District usually - mainly the commuter centre for a town or city, but is often used interchangably with "town/city centre" or "high street".

edit: London for example - the City of London or the Square Mile would be the CBD, but it would probably be used to describe somewhere like Oxford Street as well.

Orlando is the prime example of having a CBD rather than having a main shopping district in the city centre.

Link handling (feddit.uk)

Any chance the way in which links are handled could be amended? I've not seen the Summit design docs but it appears as though when a user clicks a link, a dialog box appears and the app tries to preview the link, before the user can continue onwards.

In this instance, it would appear that the preview call has failed in some fashion, and does not allow the user to proceed with either copying or opening the link - both buttons are unresponsive.

Any chance the previewing can be interrupted with a "Open Anyway" or "Force Open" button, with perhaps a first-time-only warning stating that only trusted links should be blindly opened?

Cheers!

So..

...even though the battery light was a bright red, I saved the game and it crashed. Now the save is predictably in a broken format and can't be read (at least without extra hardware).

I was rather enjoying my 10hr game, just before the SS Anne and grinding my 'karp to a Gyarados, with a recently evolved Sandslash.

I can see that there are save editors for use, but does anyone know if there are save builders - that put you in a particular location at a particular level with progression flags automatically set to your point in the story?

I can't say I'm big in to Pokémon lore - my introduction to the series was with Go - so some of the intricacies are beyond me but I'll faff with editors if I need to and import them into an Android emulator if it comes to that.

Thanks in advance!
