That shouldn't have damaged anything. You basically told the PSU to expect a 230V input and you were only giving it 115V, so you were under-volting it.

Right to an attorney and all that?

Right to an attorney is limited to criminal trials. Impeachment is not a criminal trial or even a judicial process so it is not covered by the Sixth Amendment.

Yeah, even with plenty of space and hot water it always seems better in theory than practice. Although that kind of depends on what you consider 'sex' too. Some activities work better than others.

Winchester by far, Frank was just too one-dimensional as a character. Frank literally had no redeeming qualities, which made the whole relationship with Margaret kind of unbelievable.

Winchester served a similar role as a foil to Hawkeye and BJ, but he could also stand on his own as a character in a way that Frank never could.

That's dumb...

Strife could work, but Fury has a little too much crossover as a concept with War as well as the Greek "Furies'

Strife is pretty close to War too, but I think they had a similar thought that Pestilence and Famine didn't lend themselves well to the gameplay.

Darksiders 3 and Genesis were pretty bad anyway, for reasons not solely tied to the characters.

I've never used them. I own a car to drive locally and I generally rent a car when I'm traveling. I've taken a traditional taxi once or twice, although that was long enough ago that Uber/Lfyt might not have been an option.

I would have to imagine there are large areas of the US that have little to no Uber/Lfyt drivers because the population density just doesn't support it.

I'm pretty old and since I've been a kid softcore porn is porn where you don't show penetration. Doesn't mean penatration isn't occurring, but they shoot it in a "tasteful" way to where you don't actually see it.

Which is what I saw. Granted I didn't subscribe to her so I've only seen a free clip I found online.

There are leaked versions that are definitely not that.

Building a bomb that can take out a building isn't really all the complex if you have something the size of an RV to put it in. Oklahoma City and the World Trade Center bombing demonstrated how much damage someone can do with sufficient amounts of fertilizer and fuel oil.
