Ha, very much the same. The number of games I own is far greater than the number of games I’ve played. And like our universe, those two numbers will continue to grow apart in perpetuity.
Oh, final thing: I am pretty sure this was the first online PC FPS that modelled that M203 projectiles must travel a certain distance before the explosive charge will detonate
In SOI this was referred to as the fuck zone, because it was 14-34 meters (this is 15 years ago, memory’s hazy). Crude joke, but effective mnemonoic device. Was related to the number of rotations for the round.
In my civilian life, handled a case before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals related to mortar rounds, and his contracted had been terminated because the paint thickness had an effect on the arming distance.
I played this at the same time I played Tribes (renegades always) and this game was a novelty, Tribes was the fun.
My wife and I tried this. First book we did was Blood Meridian. We stopped.
I’ve talked for years with friends of mine about MLB+Steroids+Aluminum Bats. I want to see someone hit two 700ft homers in a night.
Right, give me Seinfeld shows on random. TNG. Fucking early seasons of Family Guy. Community to an extent. So many sitcoms that you can really watch a random episode and be good to go. Sometimes it’s midnight and you’re too drunk to go to bed and don’t want to think about what you’re going to watch.
I look slightly above their eyes, at the forehead or even as high as their hairline. I do not break contact with their upper face.
I swear people in on Zoom to testify and for some reason I took to looking at the camera because it perhaps makes it more official, since I assume they’re looking at me. I dunno. Life is one big joke.
This is pretty interesting. Can’t wait to do 3 minutes of “research” and completely forget about it.
I was 800 or so before refi in October '21 (which I am thankful every day for my 2.275%), and it dipped, but I’m back to 820 as of today. I dip from time to time when my wife gets spend happy on a shared card of ours, but for the most part I hang out there.
Unfortunately it’s meaningless now, because even though I want to do a home equity loan to make my house a little bigger, I can’t justify taking out an amount greater than my remaining mortgage, at a rate triple or more my remaining mortgage, for the equivalent of 180 square feet of living space. It’s all useless. But I’ll plod a long and pay my bills and do whatever.
My brother, though, is the kind of guy who goes and finds cards that are offering some incentives for opening, and he gets them, and then just hangs onto them. I don’t think he has 10, but at least five or six at this point, and he also has great 800+ credit. He just likes to work though. I like to not think about things.
I don’t understand what you mean or how that relates at all. And I’m not trying to be obtuse, I just don’t see a rational nexus between what you’re paying in rent now versus what you may pay as a mortgage on some completely different piece of property. Owning a piece of property and renting one are two different things.
Now, should paying rent be reflected on your credit score? I believe so, for better and for worse. If you are a good tenant, always pay rent on time, to me that reflects well on your fiscal health. I think the only reason it’s not is because who is there to report it? Only way it would be is if you could put it on your credit card, and I’m not sure any landlords take credit cards.
It was a response to someone asking why one would accumulate multiple cards. It’s a reason. I’ve done it. I have 800+ credit score. Guess it worked out. I think the most important factors are paying your shit down fast and maintaining a good ratio of high available credit with low usage. At this point I’m at three or four cards and one or two other lines of credit. In the past, it’s been more of each.
Basically, you don’t get a good score by not using credit.
Store offers 0% on items you need, appliances, bedroom furniture. You’re going to spend thousands and they let you pay that shit over the course of 12 or 24 months. To me it’s a no-brainer. Only downside is I can’t use my Raynour & Flannigan card at Best Buy or Home Depot, so I need their cards too.
How can it be improved further. If you’re going to say stuff, give us a “such as,” otherwise it comes off as a negative, it’s not good enough. Gotta be constructive with the criticism. I’m reading a lot of negative reactions and I want some actual rationale for it, because I guess I’m uneducated on the topic and I fail to see what the issue is. Credit is people giving you money. There’s a system that keeps track of your credit history. Don’t want it? Don’t get credit, that’s it. Have 0 credit and then reap the rewards of that if you want.
Can you elaborate? And excluding all the bullshit with leaks, that’s obviously an issue but I’m not sure it’s related.
If you have a bunch of recently opened cards with like $500-$1000 credit limits, that’s not great, but if you have several high limit cards that you are only using a small percentage of that limit, that is good.
I have to imagine credit ratings are fairly ubiquitous, since banking is international, and who’s giving the money out? Would make no sense to penalize someone for having a lot of available credit. Maybe if you have 10 cards with low available credit, and they’re all maxed out and you’re just paying minimums, that’s bad. That’s bad in America too. Amount of available credit less amount of credit used seems to be a big factor.
It was not so much you, but the folks who just can’t help but say that those are unhealthy and here’s a better option. Some dude took time out of his day to make a picture (maybe he’s AI, I dunno) and ask a question, and it just seems nitpicky and unproductive (and I guess I mean that in the dumbest way possible, I’m on my phone talking about pictures of breakfast confectionary, essentially).
That all being said, if the whole point is to start conversations, I guess even this counts and so upvotes to everyone.
EDIT: And sorry for your bad news but hopefully it’s good news because it’s not Schrodinger’s upset digestive tract, it presumably happens regardless of whether you’ve verified the cause. I don’t think I’ve got anything, but the older I get the worse things like IPA beers and heavy bread dishes hit me. Tired, bloated, etc. I just attribute it to my body failing me.
Was gonna say, dude has no hair; his body is just a rectangle. Headbanging, I’ll give it a maybe.
