  • Yeah...wish they would've come out with dual specs earlier. Would've made leveling my priest much more fun...a holy priest was a slow and boring process in solo PvE but a shadow priest was boring in dungeons. And I liked doing both.

  • SM was the worst for it.

    And there were so many quests.

    And there was so much lore inside.

    But if you were an alliance player on a PvP realm you were guaranteed to get ganked waiting for the rest of your party to show.

  • Oh as a shadow priest in TBC you hit me right in the feels.

    Shadow was so great for levelling but shit for healing. And holy was great for healing but shit for solo play.

    Towards the end of TBC I was doing disc and having a blast as a squishy healer in PvP.

  • Before that...QuakeSpy.

    Quake kicked ass and defined my childhood and my adulthood. I was like 10 when that game came out.

    I wanted to play that game so bad but my dad was hogging the phone line all the time!

    So...I did some reading online. Found out how to build a simple network. Went to the computer fair and got some network cards that did 10BaseT or 10Base2. Went to RadioShack and got some coax, bnc ends, and terminators. Installed WinRoute on my dad's computer. Set it up to share his internet so we could both be online. Set it up so his computer would automatically dial when I wanted internet if he wasn't online yet.

    Nearly 30 years later and now I'm a Network Architect.

  • There's some rose-tinted goblin welding goggles there.

    Pugs for 5-mans used to be a huge pain in the ass. Especially for lower-level dungeons or for DPS classes (and especially the boomkins, the fury warriors, and the ret pallys).

    Remember spamming city chat, LFG BFD?

    And if you were a warlock, you were expected to run all the way there (remember not getting mounts until 40?), and wait for two other people, so you could summon the last two?

    I haven't really played much since TBC, or at all since LK. LFG was a huge improvement. It had flaws, for sure...it did break the community a bit, as you said...but it made the game playable for people who didn't have hours to commit to getting ready for a 5 man dungeon.

  • Trump officials to receive immediate clearances and easier FBI vetting
  • President always had that capability, as head of the executive branch. It wasn't used often (dire situations may apply, like needing to get an expert cleared quickly to be brought into a highly sensitive project -- in this case the request is likely following a chain-of-command and the individual likely has a positive public or professional reputation that proceeds them), because it's shady as fuck and everyone knows it. Certainly not on a large scale for an incoming cabinet.

    But ultimately, security clearance is on the approval of the president, just delegated through the state department.

  • Help us please
  • Because stop me if I'm wrong, but when prices go up and salaries don't, then that's having a lasting impact. And if you haven't done anything about that lasting impact, you haven't done enough, or convinced enough.

    Presidents don't have a magic lever to adjust for price of goods or price of labor.

  • Help us please
  • Wait, you're mad you didn't get a good raise for a few years, and that's somehow Biden's fault?

    Dude, greedy business owners keeping as much profit for themselves happens under every president.

    I think you are confused as to what POTUS does. POTUS doesn't set or approve your payroll.

    Conservatives be all "market" this and "market" that. The markets biggest influences are on costs of goods and costs of labor, and when the market does what the markets gonna do, that's the Democrats fault? Motherfucker, do you understand the society we live in?

  • Demand privacy
  • No single company can properly compensate all of their users for the damages caused by mishandling their personal data.

    What do you mean? Every time I've been involved in a data leak, I got offered 6 months of identity monitoring. What more could you want?

  • Found at Middle Eastern market in MA, US. Is this a computer chip?

    HBO should use a different bumper for streaming.

    The bumper...I don't know what it's called...that little clip with the snow that fades in and reveals the logo.

    It's terrible.

    For one, a lot of people actually don't know what TV static is. Analog broadcasts stopped almost 16 years ago, and before that, most younger people had cable.

    For another, static is really difficult to compress. It looks horrible and consumes way too much bandwidth for just a couple of seconds that won't even load right. If anything, they should cache a local copy of the bumper in-app in a format that doesn't look like ass when every pixel changes every frame.

    That moment when he realizes he's done a dumb thing.

    Apologies for the potato quality. My wife has an iPhone.

    He's on a different side of that fence from where his run is attached.

    TIL if The Bare Naked Ladies had $1m when the song was recorded, and parked it in S&P500, they'd be rich.

    While $1m USD in 1988 is worth only $2.6m in 2024, if they just put it in the S&P 500 back then and left it there, it'd be worth over $44.6m today.

    I don't know if the Dijon ketchup is really worth it.
