re: Train Derailment in Pecos, TX

Posted by dome53 on 12/19/24 at 9:09 pm
The train crew is dead because of the stupid truck driver.

The railroad I work for had an incident where a a guy hauling a d11 dozer moseyed up to a crossing and centered it about 30 seconds before train arrival. He was trying to raise the trailer on top of the crossing. Derailed the 2 locomotives on the head end and 16 loaded coal cars behind it. Dude was lucky he the crew survived.

I got into the mid 70s on Tuesday with about 60 hours of playtime and haven’t played since. For reference I have 4K hours in POE1. I usually put several hundreds of hours in each league launch over 6-8 weeks. I have no plans to come back to POE2 in its current state. I think once more people get to the endgame they’ll quit.

Maps are huge with few mobs and you end up backtracking in every map. The 1 portal map feels awful with monsters having on-death effects and random off screens. I got to T7-8s with capped res, Monk defense ascendancy, and Evasio/life on all gear and I’d still die to a random one shot. I wanted to beef up my character but since they “dumbed” down the game there aren’t any defensive layers to get. There’s almost no defense in the tree. Fortify, phys damage conversion, spell suppression etc. don’t exist in POE2.

I think the campaign feels like a hardcore version of D4 which is I believe what they wanted. The endgame is terrible right now. Also they somehow made Ascendancy trials worse than in POE1

Yes. As someone who grew up on D2, I was surprised when one of my friends said he hated D4 and wouldn’t play POE 2 because of the camera. But I guess it’s not too uncommon.

Early access is in 5 days, not 2 weeks.
I watched a few minutes. She’s dumb as a rock and 100% cheating on him.

This board shits on lazy union workers then bitches because the unions fought for raises based on the bullshite economy we have. Almost seems like the unions are sometimes worth it?
I’m somewhere between keto and carnivore for the last 2 weeks. Basically eat 2 meals a day, one is bacon and eggs or steak and eggs and the other is whatever I can get that has near 0 carbs.

As a Type 1 Diabetic, I should have been doing this my whole life(diagnosed at 5, 34 now). My time in blood glucose range is 95% over the last 2 weeks. Before it was always under 50%. My last A1c was 7.3 about a week before I switched my diet. I’m hoping to get in the 5’s for the first time in my life in 2 months.

Most of those people live in shitty apartments or homes with no space or hookups for washer/dryer.

Wind blowing in at 15 MPH and getting worse on defense with Jones replacing Tre at 1st? Nah

He’s pitched on 5 days rest twice this year. He’s going to pitch on 4/5 days rest for the rest of his career. Not saying he will or should pitch Thursday but acting like it’s impossible is silly.
What does this have to do with LSU giving up 12 not even through the 7th?

It would be nice if when he does swing, he tries to make contact instead of trying to hit a dinger every swing.

French door all day if you are going to have a deep freezer. You're opening the fridge 10x as much as the freezer. The extra space/access to the fridge is so much better than a SxS.
