If I remember, the devil “bowed his head because he knew that he’d been beat”. So why did the devil give up so easily? Surely the trickster would have come up with some obscure reason for him to win the contest, unless he deliberately lost for an ulterior motive.

Not to say this behavior is okay, but there are some companies that also just exploit the alternative to high heaven, like the post shows. You can pay $20 for a 12 cent replacement part, or order one and return it. Some people will pay for the part, but significantly less will when it costs and arm and a leg for something so cheap.

It’s basically taking the measurement of the area under a curve. The left does it in uniform chunks, and is often less accurate depending on delta x (the size of the chunks). The right effectively makes the size of the “chunks” infinitely small and gives a more accurate answer.

Simple version: Me: Close but either too much or too little potat removed. Mom: absolutely perfect with no skin and no wasted potat.

Yeah VGA is still pretty much gold standard for supportability in my experience. It’s like a console port with baud rate settings, worst case scenario those two should always work.

The other person already said they probably won’t do it. The name is too central to their brand to change it or back off. I would be curious if we see anything to emphasize his last name somewhere though.

Just like a “hey everyone this is Luigi MARIO a very distinct character not based on any real person!”

I mean you can see it even a bit with Payday 3 and 2, if 2 wasn’t such a cash cow you can believe a lesser company would’ve shut that thing down ages ago

It’s not like “oh dear God” levels of bitter but it’s enough to just be like “pteh ew” and spit it out.

Actually yeah now that you mention it, it does sound like something out of a renaissance festival where they’re setting up a scheduled show lol.

“Dirty Dave I’m calling you out! You and I are going to have a duel to the death! At 12:00 in the town square! Right in front of the Hootenanny Stage! Be there to see who is the winner! Tips welcome!”

I’ll just add to this, 9mm, or any handgun really, is still very loud. The reason it doesn’t seem as loud is because when most people are shooting there are two main things happening.

1. They’re behind the barrel, normally this doesn’t matter much, but the sound is at least a little directional, so being in front of it is going to make it sound much louder because you’re hearing the initial explosion, not an echo.
2. Most people aren’t shooting it in their house, they’re at a gun range. The space in front of you at the range allows for the sound to travel and the pressure to spread through the room, slightly reducing the impact of the sound. Shoot one in a tiny room and it’s going to be much worse for you.

Again it’s still really loud, but the context of where the sound is being made does make a difference. Obviously larger rounds will be louder, but that doesn’t mean rounds like 9mm are safe for your ears at all.

Also sounds like you had a crappy realtor. If you’re using a realtor, get them to work for you, that’s what they’re for. Give them the specs of the house you’re looking for, sure, but they should be calling you with listings, vetting the homes before they show them to you, handling negotiation relays and inspection setups, etc.

Just general advice, yes you pay them, but if they aren’t working for you, pay someone else.
