This entirely depends on the company and/or the type of work you do. My manager is considering implementing it after I proposed it for our team. That was only a few days ago so we’ll see where it goes.

I don’t remember for sure about the old games, but the Legendary Edition has one for each game.

Interesting. The only two references I’ve ever heard to Paramour are the band and the achievement in Mass Effect. I’m now wondering if the devs of that series knew exactly what it meant (infidelity) because you get the achievement for having any relationship. Maybe it’s because you can’t remain loyal to your original partner to get it in all three games with one playthrough.

I’d love to experience the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time again. Especially since I started with 3 so I already knew the ending when I went back to the other games.

I don’t remember the first song I played, but I remember blasting Eminem’s “Without Me” at full volume with my new 12-inch subwoofer from Walmart. An officer pulled up next to me and my teenage self just about shit a brick. He just started nodding to the beat and drove off.

Microsoft purchased Blizzard.

Why terrifying?

My spouse and I rode our motorcycles from the Midwest to the East Coast over Thursday and Friday. We’ve spent the weekend hanging out with family and friends that we haven’t seen in months. It’s been a good time and we’ll be here for the rest of the week.

Interesting. I’m not seeing my instance in there at all.

How can you check to see if your instance is federated with them?

I like to drink Body Armor when I’m cycling or riding my motorcycle on a hot day.

I actually do customer support for a faxing service. You’d be amazed how widely used it is still.

Maybe Eminem’s “Shake That?”

I mostly do my own work, but whenever I do take my car to the local Mazda dealer, they always provide a full inspection report as well as a video of the tech checking everything and explaining anything that they’ve found. Even when my wife takes her car in for only basic maintenance (it’s still under warranty so we take it in for oil changes), they do the same thing and don’t charge anything extra.

Same dealer network owns the local Ford dealer and I ended up taking my old Fiesta ST there for an oil change as I didn’t have the space to do it myself at the time. $45 for an oil change and tire rotation, and I got the same inspection report and video.

A while ago, there was something that showed the higher failure rate of various components on EVs because of the lack of routine service that has cars have. Basically, gas cars get a service and inspection every 5-10k miles when the oil is changed and any worn bearings, bushings, etc. are found. EVs don’t have that so things go unnoticed until they fail. Could this be the same? Could the “reliability” concerns just be normal wear that isn’t getting caught since there are no routing inspections?

How difficult is it to host your own instance? Can you still use apps like Connect with it?
