The picture of the curve and the description of it dont match up, whats going on here

Yes it does.

"In the top 90%" means "from the top, you have to go down 90% of the way to find this person."

I live in the suburbs of Cleveland. It might make the target list due to access to the Great Lakes.

I'd probably survive the blast itself, but likely wouldn't live very long afterwards due to the fallout.

Jesus I thought WWE and AEW were bad with commercials lol

I mean they do have to set up an entire stage in the middle of the field. It takes a while. They gotta fill the broadcast somehow.

Wow, that was a terrible throw.

I got matt stafford interception yes

GGs to you. How much you make on that one?

Ahhhh, shit. I'm rooting for Cinci, but I hate seeing a player get hurt. Especially one that's been as impactful as OBJ has been for the Rams. :-/

Ok, looks like we got ourselves a game after all.

This Bengals defense is looking like trash right now. Rams are just picking apart the secondary.

Welcome to Super Bowl commercials for the last decade or more. I see you're new here.

Well, first stupid play call of the game goes to Cinci.

When is it starting? Thought it was 430

Already started...

All movies are art. Including superhero movies.

Exactly how good that art is depends on the person, of course. But it's objectively a form of art.

Super Bowl party? The night before the Super Bowl? Without a single screen to watch the game even if it was being played at the time of the party?

I think somebody misunderstood the concept.

Like 7/10 for me.

It fogs up my glasses, which is irritating but not really a massive deal. The real problem is because I have pretty severe year-round allergies. On any given day, there's like a 20% chance I'll be able to breathe through my nose. I sneeze constantly. And even when it's a good day and I can breathe somewhat normally, my nose will still run constantly. I probably have to blow my nose every 20 minutes at least, and significantly more if it's a rough day and I'm sneezing/congested. And when all of that is going on inside a mask, it's frankly pretty disgusting. I really can't wear one for more than a couple hours before I need to take it off and clean my face/get a new mask. I avoid wearing it whenever possible. And I actually try to plan my day to break up the time I spend in public so I can get a little rest from the mask every so often.

All that being said, I still wear it. Fuck anybody who doesn't wear one without a legitimate medical reason not to.

Honestly, your best bet might be to find your local area's Job & Family Services office. At least that's what it's called here in Ohio. It's the state government's department that oversees things like child protective services, unemployment insurance, public assistance, etc. They have an office in every county here, and you can walk in and get help and information for all kinds of different services. Could be simple things like job boards and referrals to temp agencies for finding work, to more sensitive subjects like finding a therapist, or even just getting some help understanding and filling out health care paperwork. And if they can't help you themselves, they generally can point you to the people who can.

Currently getting super hyped for the new Witch Queen expansion in Destiny 2. And I recently fell in love with Dyson Sphere Program.

Though I came across iskall85's Vault Hunters modded Minecraft series and the skill/mod leveling system looks amazing. I'm kind of thinking about jumping back into Minecraft again and checking that mod pack out.

This sounds dumb, sure, but it's actually illegal to fly over the far interior of Antarctica according to an international treaty signed by something like 50 countries.

It's not illegal to fly over the Antarctic interior. It's been done. What the nutcases refer to is commercial passenger flights. And it's not "illegal to fly over Antarctica," it's illegal to be more than X miles away from a safe emergency landing location. (That X is determined by the plane model and its capability) Which, obviously, there are zero of in the Antarctic interior.

I think you mean that Anakin Skywalker was Darth Vader before he turned evil.

No, his phrasing was also correct. You could also say "Darth Vader, before he turned evil, was Anakin Skywalker" for the same result.

Well considering the scenario dictates that I voted for him, I guess I'd be pretty happy?

I honestly have never used a money clip. I think I would be open to trying one in the future though if it was versatile enough to also carry my cards.

I ditched my old bifold for a Ridge wallet like 5 years ago. I tried a really cheap one at first to make sure I liked the style and see how I would actually use it before upgrading to a proper Ridge, and I absolutely love it. Though I originally thought I would really like having the money clipped or strapped to the side in a neat streamlined way. But I found I actually preferred using the Ridge just for cards and keeping a nicer money clip for cash separate. It feels more satisfying to use either one, since you're not compromising them both to make it a single piece. The difference in bulk is minimal, and even that's not a problem because I can just carry whichever one I happen to need at the moment and leave the other in the glove box/at home/etc.

I mean, if they're going to pay for both the demolition and the reconstruction (which will have to be done to updated code standards rather than the trash standards that this 150+ year old house was originally built to), and likely pay for my stay in an apartment or hotel for the duration........

...then yeah, I'd be happy to let them do that.

Literally nothing. Even if it's true.

'Cause we're the best, obviously.

It's less about height than about proportions for me. She can be smoking hot if she's 6' tall or 5' tall. As long as the proportions are right.

Though I do enjoy cuddling, and shorter girls are objectively better for that.

They'll always be the Washington Re-skins to me.

Nope.

I bailed on Facebook when they announced they were opening it up to people who were not college students. And the ridiculous hoops I had to jump through even back then to remove myself from the site just confirmed how poisonous I thought it was becoming.

I'm genuinely very glad I decided early that I didn't want to be involved with social media.

Imagine thinking Johnny Manchild's opinion is relevant or accurate in literally any circumstance.

Dude had the world in his hands and literally threw it away because he sucked and couldn't put down the bottle long enough to improve.

Yeah but

It's the same thing. You could accomplish the exact same narrative goal by just training. SS1 had a function and tied into the lore behind Freiza and the Saiyans. The higher levels are just...stronk.

They do get stronger by just training. Their base power level does go up substantially. We see that all the time. But the base form's power goes up essentially linearly. So it's very slow and you're not able to make major leaps in power.

Think of it like this (numbers arbitrary just for explanation purposes):

1. They start out at base power level of, say ~100. Think of this like their body's durability, as well as the strength of energy beams and whatnot they can dish out. They do a bunch of training, and they double their power level to ~200.
2. At this point, their body has reached the threshold needed to be durable enough to survive turning Super Saiyan. This is a MULTIPLIER of their base power level, but is extremely taxing on the body and can only be used for a limited time before their body is overwhelmed and can't sustain it.
3. Through even more intense training, they can get their base power level high enough (and thus their durability) to sustain the Super Saiyan form's intense physical toll. They can also reach a new threshold that will allow their body to survive turning Super Saiyan 2, an even more intensely taxing form that grants an even higher power multiplier, for a short time.

So in theory, they could technically just train and get their base power level as high as they want to. Even higher than what we saw when Goku first transformed. Which they have. Ages ago, story-wise. But the form itself is a multiplier. So while Goku can easily surpass his original SS1 transformation strength from the Namek arc in his base form right now, he can still go SS1 on top of his current base form and be even stronger.

Basically, the base form can be theoretically increased infinitely. It just takes a ridiculous amount of time to do so. But by increasing the base form, they also gradually gain the ability to survive higher and higher levels of Super Saiyan for short bursts of intense power.

I'd open the present. I'm probably still breaking up with her, and I wouldn't keep the present if I did. But if she bought me a present, then she probably understands that things haven't been going great for us. And if the present is heart-felt enough, I might just sit her down and have a real deep and probably difficult talk. One last chance to support each other and fix what we're inevitably both doing wrong, before deciding whether to move on.

Mario 64

The jump to 3D was just mind blowing.

Honorable mention to FFX's intro.

Definitely these. To this day, my brother and I still agree that our N64 was the best Christmas gift we've ever gotten. Can't even count how many hours we put into Mario 64. And watching the FFX intro at my buddy's house the day it came out was literally the reason I started playing RPGs. I bought a copy the next day and RPGs steadily became my favorite genre.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll steer clear of it then.

With a take like that, I'm not surprised "User is not currently an active member" comes up when you click on his name.

I've been using a Ridge wallet for a few years now. Had a cheap knock-off version for about a year before that. It was alright, but the quality is so clearly better from Ridge that I think it's worth it. I took the cash clip off entirely and only use it for cards. I keep a separate money clip for cash, but I rarely use it. Most of the time I'm paying with my phone anyway to get perks back from Samsung Pay.

I do highly recommend slim wallets. Doesn't necessarily need to be Ridge, though. But I can confirm that Ridge does make high quality stuff. It's been a few years and there's still not a scratch on the matte black finish.

I suggest getting a really dirt cheap one first and using it for a bit to get a feel for them. See what options you use and don't use, and what problems you have. Then find a high quality one that has exactly what you need.

What's keeping you here on the gamefaqs.gamespot.com Current Events message board?

Boredom, mostly.

NFL football
Formula 1 racing
A few different esports I will watch occasionally, mostly Rocket League or HCS right now. Sometimes CS:GO. But I don't go deep beyond just watching the events.

Technically most of Bioshock is an underwater level.

Ironically, the few times you actually venture out underwater are the worst moments in the entire series.

Yeah, generally. I only really follow the NFL closely. But I'd rather have something like a basketball game on in the background than most other TV options. Except not baseball. Fuck baseball.

But even stuff like soccer, cricket, or billiards blows most television programming out of the water. I'd rather watch people doing something impressive and skilled than a bunch of idiots prattling on in stupidly predictable dramas.

I've been a huge fan of Critical Role for ages, so I love it so far. But I can definitely see how it's not everyone's cup of tea.

2 or 3 is pretty typical for me.

One "main" game, that is my major time sink. It's usually something multiplayer with a good group of friends who play, so there's always at least 1 person on at a given time to jump in with. Right now, that's Destiny 2. It was Warframe before that.

Then I'll usually have 1 or 2 side games that are either way more casual or strictly single-player experiences. Been hooked on Dyson Sphere Program for a while now as my second game and it's been so good. Seriously, if you like automation games like Factorio or Satisfactory, you really owe it to yourself to try out Dyson Sphere Program.

Occasionally I'll find something that's a short term kind of one-off quirky game to play for a bit. Something like Viscera Cleanup Detail or Hardspace: Shipbreaker.

Can I just say how appropriate it felt that the last post in the last topic was an apology?

Insane levels of dedication to keeping his body in the best shape he possibly can, with help from the best doctors and physical therapists money can buy.

You are trying to think of things to help people with suicidal thoughts and your first two instincts are a threat and a guilt trip?
