Jdtunn LinkI drove past this the other week accidentally cause I missed a turn. It's looking really good, but it's a shame it's way off on its own. There's not much around there.I drove past this the other week accidentally cause I missed a turn. It's looking really good, but it's a shame it's way off on its own. There's not much around there.

I've heard they've recently trimmed the fat significantly from the 2.0 AAR and 3.0 Heavensward content to combat this issue.

Monday night, on a random whim, I decided I'd pop back into the game. Imagine my dismay to realize that this patch was dropping and my download would end 10 mins after all worlds went down.
This is not the first time this has happened to me either. This happened to me with the drop of Patch 4.0 too.

Comment on Howdy, motorsport fans! What series are we all watching at the moment? What’s your favorite? in ~sports.motorsports

A box comes once a week, with the meals you pick out or whatever they select for you if you don't customize your box. Cooking them is simple, 2 minutes in the microwave, and it's ready to eat. Like a TV dinner, but not frozen and actually good food.
I have some free codes if you want to try it out. I don't get any kickbacks from them. PM me if you're interested.

Comment on What programming/technical projects have you been working on? in ~comp

I'd...For the last month in my freetime at work, I've been building an Excel sheet and vsb script that will create and update the locations of all my cable heads on my data center computer room. I'd love to use literally anything other than vbs, but because I'm not a dev, I don't have access to any of the tools I'd like to use.
My reason behind this project is that the panel schedules have not been maintained in over 20 years and tons of racks have been added and removed without things being updated. When I joined 9 months ago, I was horrified when I was handed a paper binder and told that was our panel schedules. I've already managed to transcribe what is accurate from those 100 panels, but the big task is still ahead, verifying what is where for every circuit in the room.
I just want my visualizer working before I start tackling that problem, but it's being a major pain because vbs.

You have a bad sponge, no amount of icing, no matter how good it is, can fix it. Yeah sure, you can definitely drown it out with the icing, but that still doesn't make it a good cake. Yes, there are cakes that absolutely do not need icing, and would frankly be ruined if iced, like pineapple upside down cake, but others, it's just not right without the icing.
That's kinda how I see and what I love about the different regional BBQ styles. They're all great at their own thing.
Maybe it's cause it's what I was raised on, but it's KC bbq all the way for me. I will ride my high horse straight to hell before I'm convinced otherwise. /j

It's the sauce that makes a good BBQ, and while Carolina bbq has some good sauces, I think KC takes the cake.Oh it's hands down Kansas City. Every other city that claims that title are posers.

The highest point in the state is called Mount Sunflower ringing in at a whopping 4039ft (1231m) above sea level, but it basically looks like flat land as far as the eye can see from there.

Insurance definitely would have totaled the thing, which would have been unacceptable considering I just bought it in April.

Someone drilled out my ignition switch to try to hotwire my Boxster, but little did they know, it's got an immobilizer, which disabled the car if it can't talk to either the ignition switch or the ECU.
Insurance didn't believe that the car wouldn't start. Had to have my agent come out to have them try to start my car. Spoiler: he couldn't.
I miss sleep. I lost several days of sleep. Working night shift, I'm usually asleep during normal business hours, so I had to stay up several times just to deal with insurance, the tow company, and the tow company again.

I bought it, played a couple times through the content available, and reported the bugs I came across, which wasn't anything really game breaking, and quickly dropped it. Haven't played it in almost 14 months. Really looking forward to playing the whole game when it comes out though. The mechanics are great, the game looks and runs great, considering my early adoption into the early access. I can see myself racking up substantial playtime after the full release.

This is kind of a perfect song that can easily be updated every couple decades, so I imagine it might carry on far longer than most songs.
I was unaware the extension was planned to go that far. This is good news to me as I'm moving up by River Market next month. But your point stands, it is definitely better situated than most other stadiums in KC, with maybe the exception of Sporting KC's stadium with its proximity to Legends. My hope is that it brings more development to that area north of the market, but I unfortunately am a little pessimistic about it.
