    Yeah I often have issues with the Outlook app but I saw that too so probably the actual cause.

    For me, The Heat scene is basically perfect. I'm not convinced it can be topped.

    Does anyone know if he is a good dude that's too vocal about Jesus or one of the crazies?

    An occasional foray into big-budget moviemaking such as Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves notwithstanding, Latcham was focusing on inspirational movies such as the Wright Brothers feature Flyer, for the faith-focused studio Wonder Project, where he also helped make House of David, a TV show about the Biblical figure. The producer is known to be vocal about his Christian faith and his desire to make uplifting projects.

    Similar to Brexit, it's mostly lies and ignorance combined with pro-Putin aligned misinformation.

    Alberta is Canada Texas. They are mad at the Federal government policies for not being pro oil & gas enough and not pro pipeline enough. Canada has an equalization payment system between the provinces to help maintain a standard of living for everyone and they claim that Alberta unfairly supports the other provinces. They also think they could run their own country better.

    They also think that if they separate Canada will still let them still use Canadian passports and Canadian currency. They live in a fantasy land.

    This is the way. I've also only ever used the Northern Realm and I'm not mad about it. I can't decide if I want to do my first playthrough in 6 years now or wait for the DLC.

    I recently upgraded from a 3070 to a 5070ti but I exclusively game in 1440p and the 3070 was plenty capable, especially as a stop gap measure. I could run most modern games that are technically demanding in the medium to high range with the 3070 and still pull over 60 fps. That's honestly all I care about. If that's fine for you, the 3070 will do the job. If you want 120+ fps then you will probably need to invest in a newer card.

    That said, I feel like 1440p is the perfect resolution. Noticeably better than 1080p but significantly easier to run than 4k. The step up from 1080p might be a similar revelation for you.

    While you're probably fine with the 850W PSU, if you can step up to 1000W for a similar price then you might appreciate that. Not an expert, so could be overkill, but I got a 1000W PSU with my 2021 build and made upgrading to the 50 series cards less concerning.

    That's a wild alarm to use outside of like a fire alarm? At least for McDonald's. I have never heard it at a McDonald's in Canada or America, but I don't know the context of when it's used at yours.

    My wife and I watched The Invite last night. I liked it more than I thought I would, although I guess I shouldn't be too surprised considering the cast. Norton and Cruz were great but not surprisingly the movie is really carried by Seth and Olivia. Their banter, their hatred of each other, their snipes. It felt real and was also hilarious at times.

    I knew the movie basically happened in one location and involved something to do with sex, but beyond that went in pretty blind. It's always impressive when a simple premise can be pulled off so well.

    Yeah, I don't know either. It's more just that we haven't had it before, so with more vehicles it could have been some silly good times. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see the mod talk about rebalancing and to your point, most maps are probably too small for 32 vs 32 let alone 64 vs 64.
