Comment on Disney faces US investigation over Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices in ~society
dhcrazy333 LinkThey already took steps to do that, you know, by creating diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Why do these MAGA people always accuse the other side of doing exactly what they are trying...In a letter addressed to Robert Iger, the chief executive of Disney, FCC chairman Carr said he wants to ensure that the media company "ends any and all discriminatory initiatives in substance, not just name".
They already took steps to do that, you know, by creating diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
Why do these MAGA people always accuse the other side of doing exactly what they are trying to do? By trying to end diversity initiatives, they are basically trying to ensure discrimination can take place again. I mean I know it's their end goal, it's insane to me that anyone can hear their absolute twisting of what DEI is and not tell how bat shit insane it is. I just don't understand on a fundamental human level how someone can look at a practice of trying to be equitable and inclusive of people, and think "nah, that's bad. We shouldn't do that".
I wouldn't be surprised if Disney backs down at some point, but generally speaking, if there's a company that you don't want to fuck with, it's the Mouse.

Has the infuser built in, contains temp control (this one is present notches but you get the idea), and can pour the tea out of this?
I was trying to find others that seem to be more known brands or build quality, but haven't really found many. Most temperature control ones I find don't have the infuser built in and are moreso just regular electric kettles with temp control.

A lot of the finer details require a wider variety of blocks that takes more planning in survival rather than creative mode. Hope to have the exterior fully finished in the next week or two. Interior is a whole different animal that may never be finished, but one can dream!
The scale is roughly 2:1 of the real thing, so it is a bit more spacious than you would expect, assuming 1 block is 1 meter scale. It allowed for a lot more detail in the curvatures and other finer details to be noticed though, given we mostly only can go half block sized at smallest (not including miniatures we have on the server).

Haven't had as much time to hop on this week but I was able to AFK at the piglin farm and help re-stock some of our community quartz supplies.
Does the piglin farm break if the "unstackables" fill up all their chests?

Not saying 10 years is a sufficient cutoff or not, but it does have to happen at some point.
Whether or not Windows 11 is a sufficient replacement/upgrade of software is a different conversation though.

So much financial information to go through, inspections, offer timelines, getting competitive lender quotes, the last few days have felt like a blur. We are probably putting an offer in on one today so hoping for the best!

I never played the 1st one but the story in number 2 especially as you get towards the end is just phenomenal. I think the fact that it's setting is more of a slow paced outdoor style game really appealed to me over the city space of Cyberpunk.
If you're looking for another open world style game to try that also has a fairly linear story, I did recently play Ghost of Tsushima and absolutely loved it. It's open world but I don't consider it the same class as Cyberpunk given that it's mostly a story driven game with a few optional side quests (most of which are entire linear stories in and of themselves), whereas Cyberpunk has seemed more like "do this thing" side quests that are far too abundant. Also Ghost of Tsushima has a very beautiful landscape which while you can explore, is by no means required. The linear story of it does open up most of the map as you go along and you can take your own pace. If you haven't played Ghost of Tsushima I would recommend it. I played with the Japanese audio and used English subtitles. I think it scratches both itches of open world while being primarily linear story driven.

The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature.
I had a Plex Lifetime pass from many many years ago (want to say it was like $50 or $75 when I purchased it), so I had no idea that they were even offering this as a free feature. I always thought it was part of the subscription, but I guess not? Are alternatives like Jellyfin free remote streaming without a subscription? If not it could push people to swap services.

The complexities that have been added to the game over the last few years since I last played absolutely boggles my mind, as does the creativity of so many people in the server. Overall really enjoying being back into it for the time being.
I had been giving Cyberpunk a go for a bit. I used to love these types of open world games, but I'm just for some reason not super captivated. I don't know if it's because it's 1st person the entire time (I prefer 3rd person), or maybe I've just grown out of the this style, but I'm mostly just "meh" about it. I usually love a good story driven game, and while I do think the story so far has a solid foundation, I'm just not completely sold on it yet. Part of it is probably because I don't really empathize with the main character all that much. In any case I think I will continue to try and push through for a bit more on and off, but this could end up being a "does not finish". One last note now that I'm thinking about it, I also feel quite overwhelmed with just how much there is to do in the game that it almost feels like there's too much to do that I get demotivated to do all the side quests, which is odd because I usually try to do most side quests in games.
If I end up stopping Cyberpunk I think I may move on to God of War Ragnarok. Loved the last one, so excited to see where this one goes.

Hoping to have that corrected sometime this evening as it's throwing off the funnel placement and is a lot more annoying to fix than I'd hoped. Overall though could have been worse. Once it's back in alignment, funnels should be going up. Was going to use Yellow Concrete but I think Yellow Terracotta would be an overall better color. Problem is I don't know where to get a large enough amount of that just yet.
Once the superstructure/funnels are complete, I'll work on finishing out some of the finer details of the deck (vent shafts, rails, etc.) and finish off with adding the propellers and some final contour fixes.
Not sure what I'm planning on once this build is finished but I'll definitely put some time into re-stocking the community center with oak wood and other materials.

Trying to time recessions or other market behaviors is a fool's errand. As @fefellama said, time in the market beats timing the market. If you're not planning on removing that money for many years, even if we hit a recession, this will be a blip in the grand scale of the investment.
If it gets to a point where this crashes and never recovers, well we probably have bigger problems.

I think I'd like to set a 2nd home type area somewhere in the mountains either on the east fork or continue it further south down past Godzilla.
Edit: Path has been a bit more filled in, there's a small little cottage for anyone passing by to rest their legs. Also a decent view Godzilla vs. @TaylorSwiftsPickles.

Need lots of white concrete and oak for the decks, working on building up a stock. Interior is going to take a loooong time to complete, so I think getting the exterior mostly done is best.
There's also now a nether portal on the bow that links to the roof. From center town roof portal, follow the white concrete blocks.

No thanks.
So glad to see him continue to have great success throughout the years. There was a time period early on there where he had multiple concussions in quick succession, there was questions on whether or not he'd be able to continue having his elite status or if he should just hang it up. He's been a joy to watch over the years.
And now I feel old because I remember the hype when he broke into the league and I can't believe that was 20 years ago.
