Pickups usually for the character you're playing as though right? I might, you're very unlikely to get a Demon Hunter item like that when using the a Wizard right?

Yeah, I wasn't expecting to drop wizard equipment on the DH, it started it just to farm bounties for the crafting materials. I was just amused that I dropped one in practically the first day of playing the DH after all the farming, gambling and upgrading I did with my wizard.

I just ended up replacing the primal with a normal Yang's Recurve. Still ended up being a massive damage boost just from the Multishot bonus along with the resource cost reduction.

can't the prosecutor do both? idk, i think i've seen it done in past cases, not sure.

There are likely statutes in place that prevent them from doing so, but I'm no lawyer so I'm not exactly sure. I work in a court though and you frequently see family members in things like DUI Manslaughter cases pushing for murder charges because they're distraught and seeking the most punishment possible.

I know it at least some jurisdictions the prosecutor can present lesser charges to increases the chances that the jury will convict on something, but sometimes that can be a double edged sword.

Normal coca-cola of course.

The only coke I see around here in glass bottles is the Mexican Coke with real sugar, which tastes vastly different.

Considering they only presented first degree murder to the jury I can see why they acquitted her.

Hopefully the Moon will come to the Earth's rescue by either taking the hit for us or by sending the asteroid on its merry way via gravity-assist / slingshot.

The moon being hit could be worse, I believe.

The Earth big brother Jupiter might take the hit for us. He's done it before...

Highest chance is that it will fall into the Sun. Venus has the highest odds for planets at 26%

"The orbit of Bennu is intrinsically dynamically unstable, as are those of all NEOs. In order to glean probabilistic insights into the future evolution and likely fate of Bennu beyond a few hundred years, we tracked 1000 virtual "Bennus" for an interval of 300 Myr with the gravitational perturbations of the planets MercuryNeptune included. Our results ... indicate that Bennu has a 48% chance of falling into the Sun. There is a 10% probability that Bennu will be ejected out of the inner Solar System, most likely after a close encounter with Jupiter. The highest impact probability for a planet is with Venus (26%), followed by the Earth (10%) and Mercury (3%). The odds of Bennu striking Mars are only 0.8% and there is a 0.2% chance that Bennu will eventually collide with Jupiter."

There is a strange lack of actual sources for the information in that article.

The downside of two characters, I got my first primal for the demon hunter. At least it was something I could use temporarily.

you're assuming any area code is from the state i'm currently living in.

You've also said what county you live in.

If it is a cell phone though it could have been issued anywhere in the country since you can take your number with you.

Assuming it is life without possibility of parole, yes. Removes the possibility of something going wrong during the trial and dragging out the process for years. Besides, given the rate at which FL is performing executions he's more likely to die of old age anyway. (347 inmates on death row and they've executed 30 over the last ten years. )

i looked up reserve officer rules in california

https://www.post.ca.gov/reserve-officer-program.aspx

16. Can Level III reserve officers carry firearms?

Level III reserve officers are peace officers and are authorized to carry firearms in the course of their duties. Their entry-level training requirement includes firearms training. However, some agencies have chosen to restrict their Level III reserves from carrying firearms.

so he at least has had training, so what the fuck

Apparently they need to revise their firearms curriculum

And teachers shouldnt be willy-nilly teaching kids on gun safety if they cant do t right themselves.

Gun safety doesn't strike me as part of the standard public safety curriculum either.

Apparently in addition to being a teacher and a reserve police officer, he's also the mayor pro tem of the city.

"Under French law, a court can ban parents from giving their child a name that they deem to be against the childs interest. In recent years, courts in France have intervened to prevent children from being named Nutella, Fraise (French for strawberry), Joyeux (French for happy), MJ (after Michael Jackson), Manhattan and Deamon, among others.

Ironically, this is actually representative of more lax regulations in France. Prior to 1993, parents had to choose a name from a government-mandated list of approved monikers, but that was scrapped under President Francois Mitterands administration."

fraise and joyeux are fine as names though

the others, well, no. not so much.

They probably seem less fine if you are French though...it would be basically the same as naming them Strawberry and Happy in English.

Although, Joy is an ok name in english...

True, but the French word for Joy is Joie.

didn't they do this with halo 5 too

It is not the first special edition I've seen with no game.

I ended up taking a Demon Hunter to 70 last night. The problem with my wizard build for bounties isn't the killing speed, just the general mobility. I don't get a lot of teleport refreshes from Illusionist on T13, so bounties that require me to cover a lot of distance just to get to the objective felt very slow.

DH offers Vault/Tumble plus the 60% movement speed boost from Tactical Advantage and it just feels a good bit faster in bounties where I largely want to ignore everything until I get to my objective. I'm just going to kit it out as a dedicated speed farming build, if nothing else it will mix things up a bit in swapping between that and the Wizard for GR's.

Gotta find the sport in the olympics thats the equivalent of kicker to football.

Running backs? Done by 30.
Kickers? Still kicking at 45.

True, but I assumed he was asking if you could start training at 35 and make it. Dana Torres won 4 swimming medals at 41 and there have been a number of medalists in their 30's but those were all people that started young.

Kigalas posted...

Doubtful, 35 is past prime as far as athleticism goes.

I would tend to agree with you, although the age cap can vary a lot depending on the sport.

Are you guys vying or competing at the leaderboards? Or do you have a solid team for high GR pushing?

I am not even close to being competitive on the leaderboards, I'm currently sitting at 610 on the Wizard board. The guys in the top spots have more primals on a single character than I've seen drop.

I started a week ago and I'm lagging behind too. I'm playing as a Crusader and just managed to clear GR 91 solo; ranked 350ish. I have zero primals. I have seen primals but not for my build.

Ugh. I guess it is back to endless bounties, rifts and grs. Wash, rinse and repeat.

Have you tried reforging?

Last season I had 6 primals. 2 drops and 4 reforged.

I've been gambling with Kadala and I've upgraded some rares with the cube, but I haven't reforged yet. Mostly because I hate running bounties for the act materials. That was the primary reason I was thinking of starting a second character, just to get something a bit faster for clearing bounties.

Contemplating starting a second character, something a bit faster for running bounties.

People still use gas?, lulz

In some places. It's big in my current, for example...

Most people use it for heat and stoves...

Even in my hometown. It's used much less there, but still used...

Especially in older houses...

It is also more cost effective in a lot of areas and it is generally preferred for cooking over electric. I find it is better for hot water too, after having had both electric and gas.

I wasn't impressed.

Same. I mean it wasn't bad food but not something I'd go out of my way for and they are always mobbed. One mall here has one in the parking lot and one in the food court and they are both jam packed every time I go by.

Farming for flawless royal gems sucks and the augment ancient item recipe sucks even more for requiring three of them.

I don't get anything 'sent' to me, but all of it is available online at work so I don't really have an option to not keep it.

A lot of the settlement aspects of the game are pretty poorly explained.

There is a state route in our area that they were looking to build a bypass for since the late 70's but it kept getting bogged down in financing and various protests/lawsuits by property owners. The area gets more developed over time, which makes it even harder to find a route for the bypass. Finally about ten years ago they finally go ahead with a partial bypass, but there is only one overpass on the entire length and all of the other intersections are at ground level with traffic lights, so it doesn't really bypass all that much.

Wouldn't everyone on board need to wear flight suits to handle the g-forces?

Nope, g-force is related to the rate of acceleration rather than the overall speed. As long as you spread out the acceleration passengers wouldn't be subjected to any appreciable g-forces.

And as long as the plane doesn't turn.

They can turn as long as the turn isn't too abrupt. The Concorde operated as a supersonic passenger jet for almost thirty years.

can you use an external USB optical drive to run a reboot disc (or any CD that needs to be running while the computer starting)? or are optical drives only good for running CDs when a user is logged in?

You can do it, I had to do it for an old laptop once, you just have to make sure the BIOS settings will allow it to boot from a USB device.

I thought it was because Valve doesn't really make games anymore.

I think that might be my closest finish on a GR, killed the boss with 15 seconds left.

i say this every time the topic of insurance comes up but I am a fairly healthy 28 year old guy. Never had any major health problems until I got diverticulitis(colon infection) in which I needed 12 inches of colon cut out.

You dont know when you're going to randomly get sick. I am not trying to put fear in people but its true. I never had any major or even medium-sized health problems up until then.

Having insurance is the difference between paying 4,000 dollars or 45,000 which was around what the pre insurance bill was.

i got my moneys worth and then some.

yeah to me health insurance is not a scam. idk if i just purchase a good plan or what. but my surgery for my gall bladder would have been $30k out of pocket and i paid around $2k.

A long time ago my brother fell and broke his leg in a fairly remote area and had to get life flighted to the hospital. The transport alone was over $100k and the total bill between the doctors and hospital was over a million, but he was insured and his out of pocket cost was only a couple thousand.

it probably won't meet your homeowners or renters insurance deductible so that will be an exposure you will have to absorb.

unless it was like a really really really expensive pizza

like with truffles and stuff

There is a pizza in NYC that is 2 grand, $2700 if you go for extra caviar.

Jen0125 posted...

I really agree. I think insurance agents should be done away with. They don't actually ask you in depth questions to gauge what coverage you need. That means sometimes you aren't adequately insured and sometimes you're over insured.

I investigated life insurance and pretty much everyone there was over insured because agents were compensated based on the face value of the new business they generated, so there was literally no incentive for them to do anything other than sell the largest policy they possibly could.

Oh, I do.

Salesmen get nervous because I take my time reading the fine print before I sign anything. And the more they talk as I read, the more bullshit the deal usually is

Don't trust insurance agents would be my second tip. I spent close to ten years investigating sales complaints for an insurance company and some of the stuff they did was insane. (as well as criminal)

i mean if all the teachers are on strike then i don't have to go to class

right

Back when I was in school our teachers went on strike once, we didn't have to go to class but we had to make up the time once they went back to work so we lost most of our holidays and they extended the school year.
