- Comment on Can I DIY water backwashing through my basement drain? 22 hours ago:
So this is likely one of two things: a clog in the line or the sewer line between your house and the service is broken. You didn’t say how old the house was, but the older it is, the higher the chance the line is actually broken (especially if you have any drainage issues near the foundation or foundation settling issues). No matter what you’ll likely need to figure out what the issue is first by having it scoped and then figure out your next steps. Hopefully it’s just a clog!
Source: had a broken line in a fifty year old house. It was awful and definitely not cheap.

Actually in most places it was however the person wished to be listed and often included full first names and sometimes middle initials. Or could sometimes be a couple like “John and Mary Doe”

That means Musk will divest himself from any companies he owns that get government contracts …right? /s
- Comment on Microsoft to host security summit after CrowdStrike disaster 5 weeks ago:
Never said it didn’t. Doesn’t change the fact that Microsoft is notoriously worse by every metric and because of its position in the market is far more potentially damaging. Almost like if you sell an OS as something that can be trusted to run mission critical applications, you probably shouldn’t phone it in when it comes to securing that OS.
- Comment on Microsoft to host security summit after CrowdStrike disaster 5 weeks ago:
A third party vendor whose entire business model is predicated on the fact that security is such an afterthought at Microsoft that enterprise customers need to resort to this kind of crap for a bare minimum of security.

Believing accusers should always be the first step. But when independent organizations investigate and find that accuser’s story is contradicted by known facts and not corroborated by other witnesses or any evidence whatsoever, then no, we shouldn’t still believe them.

It’s Tara Reade first off. Secondly she defected to Russia in the company of a known Russian intelligence asset whom she termed a “friend.” So excuse everyone who thinks her story might be suspect.

Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the studios’ requirement - every big streamer I know of requires certain platforms for HD and higher streams because of the copy protection required.

Wasn’t it in Early Access before? I think this is about it coming out of Early Access?

Wow - while I sympathize with their goals, this represents a fundamental misunderstanding of how the Internet works. They need to restrict and govern corporate entities, not the Internet itself.

That was my thought too. I think I’ve got about 850 hrs over various playthroughs, and definitely will need my regular mods to be available.
