  • That’s actually amazing, can you choose the bots you’re filling the raid/party slots with? I’ve got wicked nostalgia for wotlk and my partner was interested in wow when classic came out but they’ve had bad experiences with pug raids in other games (heck, even issues with guilds). Would you mind posting a link to some of the guides you used?



  • I’ll bring it up every time he’s mentioned, dude continued exporting this shit after his tenure through the idu (recall him supporting Orban for example), Farage has totally publicly cited Preston Manning and the reform party as influences/models. Don’t forget the barbaric cultural practices hotline either, killed the per vote subsidy too.

    I recall there being a lot of ties between the Tories and the republicans stateside too, but can’t find an article to support.

    Legitimately, I think it’s a toss up between Manning and Harper as to who’s worse, thinking about their damage abroad too. Can also add the treatment of Omar Khadr (which does fall under capitulation to the us, and just general trampling on rights), there’s a presser from around the time of the scoc ruling with Poilievre which highlights the Tories constant attacks on the judiciary too.

    So much happened in those years it’s honestly hard to keep track, Harper should be kryptonite to the Tories like Bob Rae is to some people for the ondp.





  • A lot of companies require parking so you can pull out of a spot as a safety thing, it’s just second nature to me even though I haven’t had a job that requires it in years. It’s easier to see traffic that way, larger vehicles especially it’s just way easier to park that way. I’ll usually pull through if I can, but not always an option.

    For the work I did, safety wise it was so that no hitches were sticking out into traffic (pedestrian or vehicle), being able to maintain eye contact with other drivers and pedestrians and for evacuation in case of emergency.

    Industrial cooling towers are usually evaporative in my experience, smaller ones are large fans moving air over a stack of slats that the return water is sprayed or piped over and the collects in well for recirculation, larger ones afaik (like what you’d see at power plants) operate the same idea. Top ups and water chemistry is all automated.

    Those systems have operation wide cooling loops that individual pieces of equipment tap into, some stuff uses it directly (see that with things like industrial furnaces) but smaller stuff or stuff that’s sensitive you’ll see heat exchangers and even then the server & PLC rooms were all air cooled, the air cons for them were all tied into the cooling water loops though.

    From a maintenance POV though, way easier to air cool, totally seen motor drive racks with failed cooling fans that have had really powerful external blowers rigged up to keep them going to the next maintenance window. Yeah, industrial POV but similar idea.


  • I’ve used the wired equivalent of the Logitech g502 for a while, and my partner has the wireless one, I liked them as well. I’ve used Logitech, steel series, Razer and Saitek mice over the years, started with a Logitech G7, and there’s a reason I went back to Logitech mice after using some of the others. Imo you can’t really go wrong with one of their midrange models with a decent sensor, won’t break the bank and found them fairly reliable.

    As a bit of an alternate, I know you prefer wireless, but I’ve been using a Ploopy Mouse for few months now. I don’t do online fps stuff anymore, but was great for FPSs (some boomer shooters mainly) and RPGs it’s solid, been playing a lot of Diablo 2 recently and it’s great. It runs qmk so it’s customisable however you want, sensor seems decent and the entire thing is open source, designed for user serviceability.


  • Telling an obese person to “stop it” is like telling a depressed person to stop being depressed, it totally ignores the underlying reasons.

    I’ve struggled weight wise my entire life, been up and down 50 kilos over a decade, since actually getting an ADHD diagnosis and therapy it’s trending downwards to where I want it to be.

    I strongly believe from my own experiences (and others I know) there’s a strong addiction component to obesity, would you describe smokers as having poor self control? There’s a massive mental health (and genetic for that matter) component to obesity that’s frankly overlooked, often can be a trauma response, maladaptive coping mechanism or as I said, addiction.

    Have you ever talked to an obese person? My weight is/was a huge source of my self negativity, not a single person I know actually likes being obese, don’t want to be that way, that cycle of self loathing is a spiral and it’s really hard to break that, especially when society sees fit to attribute the entire condition to some sort of moral failing that makes it even harder for people to want to ask for help, let alone receive it.

    I’m lucky, I’ve always been pretty active so judicious food logging + exercise works for me (and has in the past), others not so much. GLP-1 Agonists are an absolute godsend for people who really struggle from what I’ve been told (my ADHD meds kill appetite too, totally won’t discount their contribution) they totally kill any food noise, actually helps keep them satiated, and importantly, kills their food stress response. Literally life changing, enabling them to actually get to a place where they can sustain it.

    All of this is just the mental health components, there’s other barriers in some places, food deserts are absolutely a thing and lack of walkable neighbourhoods does not help either.
