    Not only that, but I have some other really basic questions, like where is the actual mayor of the town?? Does that person exist?

    Gonna take a lot of convincing to get me to sit through more of his tv shows. Ill probably skip the newest season of Mayor of Kingstown.

    I'm confused, is this a game or a tv show? Is this something you can do couch coop with someone locally?

    VS Code (normal programming) & SSSMS (db) at work, VSCodium at home. Sometimes Visual Studio for some SSIS or if I need to tinker with an SSRS report. For simple text editing Ill just use notepad++, I have micro or something installed for the command line, but I find it's actually just as fast to browse to a folder and double click a file.

    I don't see myself as switching away from vs code until there is a competitor that has the rich extensions that vscode has, especially with git.

    There are some great answers in here, and remember them, because when the hype comes they aren't going to mention any of it and they'll try to turn it into something else entirely like AI.

    yeh that pass play from the Giants at the end was an absolutely terrible call. One of the worst I've seen all year and I'm a Gator fan.

    Yes, the qb runs the option with the running back, and if he pitches to the running back, the running back can then continue the option with a wide receiver. On this play, both pitches were made so the WR ended up running the ball.

    I think probably the most amazing thing about this season is how for like the last 5 or 6 weeks, I have seen plays that have never been ran before in the NFL, this week the Lions ran a double pitch option. If you told someone from the 90's this play would be run in the NFL their head would explode, literally and actually blow up.

    This has been true for college as well lately, Louisville had 3 QB's on the field for one play in the first half against FSU.

    But I've seen your classic I formations as well. It seems like the game is evolving weekly, but there is still room for traditional lines of thought. I find it to be a very exciting time in American football from this perspective.

    Holy fucking shit, this guy just gets worse and worse. I figured centrists would continue a rightward turn, and that it will lead to defeat after defeat in national elections.

    Had to give up on Twilight Princess about 40% of the way in, I really don't like the 3d games as much but resolved myself to try and beat the entire series. This is the first one I've put down, perhaps Ill come back to it again at the end but it's just not grabbing me, the controls are frustrating me for sure.

    Next I'm on to Skald, since it looks bad ass.

    A mask ban in liberal LA.. the nation is moving so far to the right it's scary even if expected by astute political observers and historians.

    I've thought about replacing it with the steam deck. Basically it just needs to stream video from a web browser and be able to torrent.
