Lawyer in Wisconsin focusing on traffic law and criminal defense, with an interest in employment discrimination and mediation/alternative dispute resolution.
Meanwhile in Wisconsin I have to pay an extra $100/yr for registration because I drive a hybrid.
Why?
Because, I shit you not, driving a hybrid apparently costs the state too much money, because we have to fuel up less, and so they get less tax.
What the fuck.
Lol. Yes I am! How did you know?? 😜
Not sure how uncommon you’re looking for, but I think I already did this.
I chose Sage.
According to some quick googling (read: not sure how accurate this is), Sage wasn’t in the top 500 names for my birth year, but my given name was top 100.
Though both names I’ve used have been trending towards more common for most of my life. Looks like my original name is now a top 35 most common, but Sage is still outside the top 100 for females and outside top 300 for males.(Really wish there was more data for the popularity of nonbinary names. I think Sage is probably one of the more popular enby names, so maybe it’s not all that uncommon, depending on how you define it.)
I guess I probably have more experience than the average player, about 25 hours so far. But I also learned my 3rd point the hard way, by doing ~10 hours of research outside of playing to try to optimize. It mostly just drove me crazy, but I did pick up a lot of little helpful tidbits. So if anyone has any general gameplay questions I’m happy to do my best to answer!
Just know I definitely don’t consider myself an expert by any means. I’m not even at the level cap yet.
Oh that’s my bad. I missed what community this was in. I don’t have any steam deck specific knowledge.
I’ve heard about some performance issues on multiplayer servers for console users, but iirc most people don’t have issues for single player. Wish I could say more but I’ve only played on PC, sorry.
Palworld is mine. I’ve been loving it so far.
I’d say a couple things though:
Don’t expect perfection. It’s still early access and there are bugs. They put out a patch last night that fixed some of the most glaring issues, but there’s still some wonky stuff. I’d recommend, when you build your base, to keep all the workstations that pals use on the ground level, and build your ceiling/second floor two units high. Some larger pals can’t get through single tall doorways.
Feel free to play around with your server settings if you want things a little easier/harder (but I’d say definitely turn off structure decay right away, and maybe increase pal spawn rate slightly, mine is at 1.2x and feels good). The game is almost entirely customizable to what you want it to be, everything between super casual fun and hardcore survival is easy to set up.
Don’t stress about min/maxing everything just yet. First of all, you probably simply don’t need it while leveling up. Second, people don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about yet. There are conflicting sources for the best of pretty much everything. So just play how you like (but I’d say wait until you have a pal you know you’ll use endgame before powering it up with essence/condensing, those can’t be refunded to my knowledge).
"Correctional officers from the jail responded to a medical emergency in one of the cell pods.
There, inmates explained that they believed [Jessica] Barry was experiencing a drug overdose.
Within 3 minutes of being notified of the emergency, officers gave Barry a dose of Narcan.
A total of six doses of Narcan, chest compressions, and an AED were given to Barry, but officers were not able to resuscitate her."
Tragic stuff. I know we all like to blame the cops, and usually I’m 1000% on board, but it sounds like they did everything they could here. At most they could maybe be blamed for not catching and stopping the drugs from getting in. Maybe the ongoing investigation will turn something up as to how that happened, but I can’t say I’m surprised. I’ve been that courthouse and jail. It’s not the most well-funded, and addicts tend to find a way. Sad stuff.
The meme says to denounce US sanctions. I think this commenter was pointing out that would also mean opposing the sanctions currently on the Russian oligarchs.
Hmm. I’m annoyed at my lawyer brain, all I can think about is how this would actually be a very interesting case. At least, based on my understanding of U.S. Torts law, which is not my practice area (but which is bar tested and a required law scool course). Don’t take any of this as real legal advice.
But, there’s a concept known as the eggshell plaintiff rule/doctrine. Basically, it states that if the person you injured is unusually fragile, you’re on the hook for their injuries regardless of whether they’re a typical result of the action you took. So, here, while the typical result of pulling a finger would be a fart, the puller may be on the hook for the entire damages of a lost arm.
However, undercutting that is the defense of consent. The “victim” here clearly consented to the activity which led to the injury, and should have known that the action may likely result in the loss of an arm, based on the lack of tendons/muscles/skin/everything.
I’m gonna have to save this to show at conventions and see how people think this would play out. I’ll totally be the coolest kid in school then. In your face, Mark.
So I don’t have one yet, but it’s on my list and I’m curious: what is it about it that makes you actually finish games?
Actually, here’s my fun fact: Alaska is the farthest North, East, and West state in the U.S.
See, e.g., the war on “drugs”
The GOP has been working towards making the US a dictatorship since the 60s. We passed the civil rights act and the right was so appalled that they had to treat people of color like, well, people, that they’ve been coming up with new ways to ensure progress never happens again ever since.
I still don’t know what an API is. But people who know more about it than me have told me in no uncertain terms that spez is scum for it, and I was able to confirm that because he put his whole ass on display in that AMA, and so here I am.
You just made an enemy for life!
