Nah, I loved that movie. Great music and a lot of fun lines here and there. Definitely not an academy award contender, but still pretty fun.

Thanks! About 5 hours into a new playthrough of BL2 with my wife, so this is awesome!

Not unless he died in a sea battle in that thing.

Can also add filters for Trump and Vance in your user settings (I'm on Connect) and stop most related posts from coming up in your feed. Was able to rescue myself from a tidal wave of Sailor Moon Ai posts in my feed that way 😁.

Indeed it does. The term was coined by Jon Hein in reference to that fateful episode of Happy Days. He later created the website jumptheshark.com, which discussed similar moments in other shows.

Love it. The movie has excellent visuals and is scary but with a great sense of dark humor where appropriate. Just picked up the 4k release and ripped it to my plex server. Looking forward to watching it again shortly!

Yup, if you use mods, it's a good idea to set the game to update on launch through the game's properties menu in its steam library listing.

Since a F4SE nodded game is going to launch through the script extender's launcher, that keeps the game from updating automatically when starting a play session.

I also like to make a copy of my game folder and save it off in another drive so I have a backup.

Should be able to send to the service member's unit at FPO or APO depending on if they're in the army, navy, etc. This page https://www.usps.com/ship/apo-fpo-dpo.htm has more info.

You can absolutely receive mail and packages when deployed in the military, even during wartime. When I was in the USMC, getting mail while out in the field was a bit of a psychological life line.

Loved this movie when it came out too, though I'm pretty sure the car was a BMW convertible or some such. Not as cool as an 80s Countach, but not too shabby..! The 4k release is on my list of must score discs.

eBay is your friend here. Looks like there are a good number of turn key Nvidia GTX 1070 cards available right at your budget from some highly rated sellers, using this search string in the computer components and parts -> graphics/video cards category yielded 160 results:

1070 -broken -read -only -repair -empty -box

Here's a link to the actual search :

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=1070+-broken+-read+-only+-repair+-empty+-box&_sacat=27386&_odkw=980+-broken+-read+-only+-repair+-empty+-box&_osacat=27386&LH_BIN=1

be sure to make generous use of '-' terms as seen in my search string to filter out the giant wad of irrelevant/useless results that'll come up, and read the recent/seller feedback for the sellers you are considering doing business with and stay away from single digit feedback sellers with pricing that is far cheaper than expected for the item - (e.g. a $150 brand-new RTX 3080 from a seller with a feedback score of 5 is very unlikely to be legit 🫥) and you should find what you are looking for. Good luck!

Back in the day I used to love many of the fantasy novels by David Eddings (e.g. Belgariad, Mallorean) but after learning about the terrible child abuse he and his wife were prosecuted for, I can't look at them the same way.
