This has become fairly common with Trump after cities experienced him not paying his bills later.

So it’s not an official standard. It’s a buzz phrase used by people who wanted to make others think “crypto was next gen”

So what makes a site “web3” in the first place?

I have a 43” 4K TV as my monitor but I run my games at 1440p native pixel sizing. It makes it like a 27” 16:9 monitor which is plenty big and I don’t need an overkill card for it.

hacks, workarounds, and edge cases

That’s always what I thought when they release a new driver for a specific game. I’m like “seriously? Do they check the executable or something?” Yes, yes they do.

Am I the only one who thinks those prices are still too high for 25+ year old titles? Don’t get me wrong, absolutely love the games, but this “discount” feels closer to what it should be.

I just hope they’re not going to gamble with the astronauts lives in the process. Oh, who am I kidding, it’s Boeing, of course they are.

That didn’t answer my question though. There is a chance of issue with sending them back on the Starliner. Last thing Boeing wants is another Challenger incident. So ditch the Starliner for the sake of the crew.

The iPad ate my homework

So is the issue getting them home or is it using the Starliner? Couldn’t they send them back on SpaceX and then dump the Starliner to burn up in Atmosphere or a controlled crash in the ocean? Why are they tying the two together?

It’s also a simple word that they all know. You could try to analyze them and talk about their sociopathic tendencies and it’ll fly over their head. Call them “weird” though and they know that word very well.

“Every other road…” serious [citation needed] there. I live in San Antonio (you know 6th, largest city, metro of 2.2m people) and there’s not a single toll road. Austin, Dallas and Houston have a few but it’s by far not every other road. You can get around on 10, 35, 45 and the corresponding ring roads just fine.

Also the property taxes here are quite high compared to a lot of other states, but as such there’s no state income tax.
