It’s harder to do insider trading if you aren’t manipulating markets by posting contradictory statements every morning from your gold-plated toilet.

Always eat your veggies first. I recommend asparagus.

Running the entire economy via a central planning committee is exactly the sort of right-wing free market the GOP voters wanted. I guess? Up is down. The past is alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

Pros: Longer barrel in the same overall size, or a shorter total length for the same barrel. A longer barrel means more exit velocity, while a shorter weapon means more agility in small spaces (indoors, for example).

Cons: the ejection port is close to the shooter’s face, making ambidextrous weapons nearly impossible. The chamber is also closer, making it more dangerous in the (relatively rare) case of a catastrophic failure.

“No, no, BAD LEOPARD, eat those other faces instead!!”

It’s been a year, so I don’t have a specific memory of a solution, but I must have done it. That’s pretty early in the game, isn’t it?

The original expansions are included.

Experience everything Oblivion has to offer with previously released story expansions Shivering Isles, Knights of the Nine, and additional downloadable content included in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

The deluxe edition includes some new stuff and cosmetics, as well as non-game extras.

• New quests for unique digital Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon Armors, Weapons, and Horse Armor Sets

• Digital Artbook and Soundtrack App

Edit: The MS store makes it even more explicit regarding the “additional downloadable content” included in the standard edition:

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Standard Edition includes:

• Digital base game
• Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine story expansions
• Additional downloadable content: Fighter’s Stronghold expansion, Spell Tome Treasures, Vile Lair, Mehrune’s Razor, The Thieves Den, Wizard’s Tower, Orrery, and Horse Pack Armor

This reminds me of the stories about Twilight being one of the most pirated movies of that era. Plenty of people didn’t want to pay $10/ticket + snacks, etc, but were still curious about the cultural train wreck.

It’s been 88 days since the inauguration…oh shit.

Yeah, I don’t remember all the details myself, so you’re probably right. I was basically trying to support your thesis that Bethesda getting nasty over mods would be something entirely new and out of character. The only example someone could even try to point to had a bunch of other (better) explanations than “mod bad, Bethesda mad.”

For all their faults, Bethesda may be the most mod-friendly AAA studio out there right now.

I can vaguely recall a single instance where they shut someone down, and that was over re-used audio assets from an older game. That was almost certainly about contractual licensing obligations to voice actors.

Took out a payday loan to buy the tires.

Ok, this is obviously stupid, but if we can turn the power of the nutjobs against airport scanners and biometrics and such, I say bring on the crazy.

On the one hand, it has to be a mistake, right?

On the other, malicious harassment of an immigration lawyer with a “foreign” sounding name is exactly the sort of thing you’d expect right now.

Absolute best case scenario for this administration is that they are prone to making stupid, dangerous, embarrassing mistakes that will end up getting someone hurt or worse. And that’s giving them way more benefit of the doubt than they’ve earned.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

For all we know, in that moment Elon was standing on some dirt, making him the wealthiest person on lower-case earth.

He is a certain type of anti-intellectual who believes “nothing is true unless I discover it myself.”

Education is useless, truth is a lie, etc, etc.

So he destroys everything he touches until he can recreate knowledge himself, poorly, expensively, and redundantly. Then declares himself a genius for getting back to basically where the rest of humanity already was years ago.
