Last artist I found was because of tracks played on the Sirius Bluesville channel.

The head mount would be useful for Work Time Fun emulation:

I work for a very large company. Late last year they decided to completely eliminate our division in Sydney, Australia.

That, on it's own, was not a problem, stuff like that happens all the time. What WAS a problem was that nobody in North American management was told until a week before the shut down. "Oh, by the way, Sydney's last day is Friday..."

So those of us in North America were like "Welp, writing is on the wall..."

I was out for medical starting 1/14, I came back for one day on 3/24 and found North America was shut down too. My last day is 5/22 and until then I have a no show job followed by 5 months severance.

Except what Gilroy produced isn't Star Wars. 😉

So 2 problems here:

  1. The link goes to a 404 not found page.

  2. It looks like you copy pasted the entire article before it went down which lemmy.world specifically prohibits for copyright reasons.

I'm removing it for now, if you can update the link to a working version and whittle down the copy-pasta to the 2 to 3 most relevant paragraphs, I'll restore it!

Photos and seeing the chair in person were enough. There were no actual inspections until we got her home.

And yeah, dealing with all that + cancer sucked. At one point we were both actually in the same hospital at the same time. I went in for my surgery on 2/19 and was in until 2/23. She was in 1/26 to 3/5.

I agree, Rogue One was incredibly sad.

A bad taste from one thing and a complete lack of trust in the show runner.

He's not interested in Star Wars, I am. That's the key difference.

I'm sure it's very good for what it is, but it's not Star Wars.

It would be like if someone told me "Oh, you like salads? Man, I have a great salad recipe, you take chicken breast, cut it into pieces, marinate it in soy sauce overnight and then grill it. Take an onion bun, paint one side with peanut sauce, the other side with hoisin sauce, pile it up with shredded cabbage and carrots and cover with Thai sweet chili sauce, top it with the chicken. It's great!"

"Yeah, but what you describe is a sandwich, not a salad."

"Well, you know, I never liked salads, I have no reverence for them."

(it is an AWESOME sandwich though)

"Driving the news: Kat Abughazaleh, a left-wing influencer and journalist backed by Justice Democrats and the Sunrise Movement, lost to Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss in the closely watched race in Illinois' 9th district.

Biss and Abughazaleh were both opposed by AIPAC, whose proxy Elect Chicago Women spent millions in support of pro-Israel state Sen. Laura Fine, who came in third.

But AIPAC pivoted in the final week of the campaign to focusing its fire on the more pro-Palestinian Abughazaleh than Biss, who was backed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).

Another AIPAC affiliate, Chicago Progressive Partnership, ran ads painting Abughazaleh as a closet Republican and boosting a lower tier leftist in the race, Bushra Amiwala.

A similar story played out in the 8th district, where progressive Junaid Ahmed lost to moderate former Rep. Melissa Bean (D-Ill.), the pick of both AIPAC and crypto and AI-affiliated PACs.

Unlike Abughazaleh, however, Ahmed was supported by both the CPC and Warren, as well as Justice Democrats, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and a local Democratic Socialists of America chapter.

Zoom out: In Illinois' 2nd district, progressive state Sen. Robert Peters came in a distant third behind AIPAC-backed Cook County Commissioner Donna Miller and former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.

And in the 7th district, CPC-backed labor leader Anthony Driver Jr. and progressive organizer Kina Collins finished third and fourth.

The race was won by state Rep. La Shawn Ford, who edged out AIPAC-backed Chicago Treasurer Melissa Conyears Ervin.

What they're saying: "Life looks pretty good," AIPAC said in a post on X,"

New Comics Week of 3/18! (leagueofcomicgeeks.com)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by jordanlund@lemmy.world to c/comicbooks@lemmy.world
 

Been away for a bit and I find out, in my absence, our usual source of new comics kinda fell down.

Not sure what's going on, but it is run by one guy and life does happen (ask me how I know this!)

So subbing in League of Comic Geeks for now to keep the conversation going!

What was I buying again? Feels like a year but it's only been 2 months:

Ultimates #22 - Almost the end of the Ultimate line.

X-Men #27 - Hasn't really recovered from the latest crossover sillyness.

Lobo #1 - Written by Skotty Young which is just the right kind of unhinged for Lobo.

Wonder Woman #31 - Always a great read!

Marc Spector: Moon Knight #2 - Rebooted AGAIN!

Geiger #22 - Continuing the Geiger/Northlander soon to be Redcoat team up!

Mortal Thor #8 - The human side of Thor has been compelling.

Catacomb of Torment #9 - The new era of EC comtinues!

D'orc #1 - No idea, but the concept looks hilarious! Half Dwarf, Half Orc.

Future Is ****** #11 - I'm amazed that they are on track for their 60 issue plan!

Quote from whoever is left at the developer:

"Today we’re sharing difficult news. We have made the decision to permanently shut down Highguard on March 12.

Since launch, more than 2 million players stepped into Highguard’s world. You shared feedback, created content, and many believed in what we were building. For that, we are deeply grateful.

Despite the passion and hard work of our team, we have not been able to build a sustainable player base to support the game long term. Servers will remain online until March 12th. We hope you’ll jump in with us one more time to show your support and get those final great matches in while we still can.

The team is excited to release one final game update to enjoy in the remaining life of the game. We'll be adding a new Warden, a new weapon, account level progression, and skill trees! Full patch notes are coming, and we're targeting tonight or tomorrow morning for patch release.

From all of us at Wildlight, thank you for playing, for supporting us, and for being part of Highguard’s story."

Had the surgery 2/19 to remove the entire sigmoid colon and all the related lymph nodes.

Was in recovery 2/19 to 2/23 and released to go home!

The biopsy results came in late today and confirmed 0/12 lymph nodes were malignant. That's it! It's clean! No stage 3, no chemo required!

Follow up with the surgeon on 4/1 to talk about where we go from here, my guess is colonoscopies 2x a year for life now since it went from 0 to stage 2 in 6 months.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, wear blue and get checked!

#✅UR:

Not sure when I'll be back modding, I still feel like someone slammed me in the gut with a baseball bat. Cricket bat for our international folks! Maybe another 2-3 weeks.

I still lurk and comment occasionally, just as my health allows!

Edit Bonus - Since my wife had her own medical event this year involving a massive infection, spinal intrusion and below knee amputation, we already hit the out of pocket maximum on our insurance for the year.

Sooo...

Get insurance guys, no, seriously, get insurance.
