You got to give Trump credit. This was a shockingly successfull operation.

I can give him credit for a successful operation…

While thinking said operation likely shouldn’t have happened. But I’ll hold off on finalizing that until after his press conference.

I really just want to play the new GTA.. probably never will.

I’m more optimistic that PC component prices will normalize than I am the next GTA will release :lol:

B. Does the resident have a current lease/rental agreement that is not in arrears. If the answer is no the police should come and handcuff them for trespass. The process shouldnt take more than a day.

For people “overstaying”, I agree. That’s usually a self created local law problem. However, it’s become a common scam for people to forge a lease and rent payment receipts. As soon as they flash those, law enforcement says “sounds like a civil dispute” and washes their hands of it. I’m not sure how you fix that quickly without accidentally breaking things.
I'll believe this one when I see it reported by someone reputable. I saw this on reddit this morning and the only source was a link to a Chinese website.

If you have two factor on everything, it doesn't really matter either way. If someone takes control of your second factor, they can likely "recover" the account without the password, regardless.

It's why two factor is pushed so heavily by enterprise security.
Boring, unoriginal take is boring and original.
Manual or motorized bike?

I’ve had multiple adults on motorized “bicycles” shoot out of blind spots across North Blvd and cause near misses. The last time, I told the passenger in my car that I am going to feel horrible for the person who inevitably kills one of them through no fault of their own.
Please tell me that this is an extremely shiny hook…

Yeah, everything was about Texas Hold Em back then. And at the end, each hand got progressively more and more impossible.

In fairness, movies struggle with even single “rounds” of games, from cards to chess, even when they don’t affect the plot. Having multiple plot affecting rounds is hard to pull off. Even something like Rounders wasn’t perfect.

Not making excuses as much as giving the reason it isn’t a deal breaker for me in evaluating the movie as a movie.

it was ok aside from the absurd poker game

Changing it from baccarat to hold em to tap into the then-current zeitgeist was a choice I don’t particularly agree with :lol:

He needs to list off a few games that he wants to play. You’re shooting completely into the dark otherwise. If he truly doesn’t know and won’t go find out, you’re about to set $2k on fire on something he is just going to use as an overpowered porn box :lol:

Even if you liked the film it still changed bond as a character due to instilling "modern values"

It didn’t “instill modern values”, in spite of what ChatGPT is feeding you; it simply had deeper, more complex characterization… that followed the plot of the novel written in fricking 1953 :lol:

Casino Royale was the first Bond book Flemming wrote. What happens to Bond in that novel, and movie, turned Bond into what he was in later iterations.To call that a “modernization” fundamentally misunderstands the character.

If you’re saying it’s the best modern Bond? Fair. Best reboot? Absolutely. Best Bond movie ever? frick No.

this is the same crap that started the downfall of the 007 with Daniel Craig and Casino Royale.

Casino Royale is arguably the best Bond movie ever made. Get the frick out of here with that :lol:

I had to pay a fine a few years ago because the program sponsor didn’t submit the information in time.

They must have been late as shite, being they have until January 31st to report.

Speaking of, just got the email that my last four hours just posted :pimp:

The biggest problem in modern video games isn't necessarily the quality of releases but the infrequency of quality releases. There simply isn't high enough volume of quality releases compared to what it should be IMO. Regardless, the year was overall quite meh IMO.

Have you been able to play all of the “quality releases” over the last few years, because I sure as shite haven’t :lol:

I’ve been doing a fair amount of woodworking this year just for fun. Small things on the lathe, etc. My brother took one of my favorite pictures of my old dog that died last year, made a logo out of it, and ordered a small brand for me with the logo. Definitely cooler than the random stuff I usually get.

That’s a very solid gift. Kudos to your brother for that.

Correct. It's the way to go, typically, if you can

I used to teach regularly until a friend conned me into teaching a “nuts and bolts cle for new lawyers” and walked into a room with like three new lawyers and dozens of experienced ones. I got about sixty seconds into my prepared basic materials before just throwing it out and doing it off the cuff. I’ve refused every request since :lol:

Ask Princess Diana about the paparazzi in Europe.

Her death notwithstanding, France has some of the most strict paparazzi/libel laws in the western world. Celebrities and public figures have significant privacy protections and “truth” isn’t a blanket defense. I imagine that, combined with just being less known there, is what he’s talking about.
