When I was younger I binged a lot of Alistair MacLean. To continue the list with some of my other favourites:
The Satan Bug
The Golden Rendezvous
The Dark Crusader
The Last Frontier
Ice Station Zebra
Fair warning though: he's quite formulaic and it is not recommended to finish one of his books then start another. Read a couple of books inbetween to give yourself a break.
And this is how I, a foreigner, know the sun has risen over the US.
This aspect of gaming really annoys me. I'm old enough to have played games for months or years because I just enjoyed playing the game. This notion of unlocking shit, seasons, cosmetics etc, whilst fun to be rewarded for, should be a minor reason for playing a game. Once I've unlocked everything in Helldivers I'm likely to continue playing regardless because I find it fun - to the point where I'm not sure exactly what everyone is complaining about. So they unbalanced a weapon to make it a shadow of its former self, just use something else you sook. The tiny attention span of people these days does my head in.
Not sure on the reason for the downvotes here. My understanding is they marketed it very poorly and they brought a hero shooter to a saturated market without adding anything new
Because once again, Trump just gets away with it. This is fucking bullshit.
And if Battlefield were still worth playing I'd give a shit. It has been well over 12 years since I got excited about a Battlefield game.
Are any flights involved? I feel some flights should be involved in this setup...
Part of the solution is definitely weeding out the people purposely working against the good of the country.
They are maximising choice by creating a new lowest rung on the ladder of choices. Now you can buy something good, or buy a Ford!
Rich guys and private islands... I'm sure nothing bad has ever come of that.
Street Fighter was OK, wasn't it? I'm asking because I haven't seen it since I was a teenager and my sensibilities may have changed since then.
Check out the first Mario Bros movie (1993 I think?) if you want to feel your brain vomit out your ears. How they got to that story with the source material is anyone's guess.
Isn't the point of the Olympics to go there and represent your country? Isn't that what people aspire to do? So fuck off with this nonsense! Let people represent themselves, or admit the Olympics is now defunct and no longer worthwhile.
At least be consistent with it too! I don't know what it's like in the States but internationally we don't get 7/16" bolts or whatever, we get 10-gauge or 8-gauge etc. What the fuck does that mean?? And wiring too: no 8mm wire, no no let's have 6AWG. Jesus christ it's like they enjoy making life difficult.
True! We used to use pounds, shillings, pence as our currency and I'm very glad I never needed to deal with that shit.
Yes. That's how proxies work.
Sure, but do you need some sweet sweet couch in your life? Or if you prefer love handles, perhaps an armchair?
I am absolutely sick of Windoze and I'm trying out Linux Mint for my work computer. This has been a bit of a learning curve but I have almost everything working the way I want... but the sticking point is my company uses Dropbox for all file sharing and repository.
I first naively installed Dropbox from the Software Installer but that tried to sync the entire company (many TBs) to my computer. It seems there is no Smart Sync option.
Next I installed Rclone and logged in using that, but it seems to be completely command line based which is absolutely useless. There is no way I'm going to sit here typing out full directory paths and file names every time I need to access something (which is always). I then installed RcloneBrowser, and later the Rclone web GUI, however they BOTH skip the parent folder and put me directly one level down, which is also useless.
Ok I know what you're thinking. I need to create an alias, right? So I did, and my config file now has the lines
[DB]
type = alias
remote = Dropbox:/
but this makes no difference in the web GUI or RcloneBrowser! The frustrating thing is if I use the command line the results I get are:
rclone lsd Dropbox:/ parent directory. Good so far...
rclone lsd DB: parent directory! Yay! So why doesn't this work on either GUI???
If I can't get this to work then I will have to get rid of Linux unfortunately. I can see in many forums I am not the first to have massive issues with Dropbox, but it seems the alias approach works for everyone else. What am I doing wrong?
Apart from Australia getting completely ripped off, I am wondering if anyone had any insight into why they're paying almost $500 million for an aircraft that is worth about a fifth of that amount. This has got to be a continuation of the hilarious AUKUS joke that's been played on them, correct?
