Yeah, as does the capacitors above it, it’s rather funny

There is, D1 in lower right is an SMD LED

Sorry should have clarified. I have AOE 1 thru 3 with expansion packs, I dropped off about the time they did the aoeII HD remaster.

If any of those CDs require internet to install, they must have been later releases during the dying era of CD game installs. I have original CD copies of all AOE games and they dont need any internet at all.

For games that require the CD inserted, I have had mixed luck with dumping the CD contents to an ISO using dd, then mounting that for installing and running the game.

Using dd is important as you can flat dump every single bit out of the CD, including the hidden license information.

Also virtually every old game that requires a CD probably has a NoCD crack out there in the world. That was some of the easiest and most commonly bypassed DRM back in the day.

Ready for another Monday morning market open bloodbath that will conveniently make a bunch of brand new trading accounts $200 million

But he only has 3 pieces in his hand

honestly the only major safety issues with EVs is tesla specific and their ultra retarded door handle system. Yes lets take a simple mechanical system that has worked great for 200 years and make it an electric button, then hide the real mechanical release in a spot that you can’t find when panicked and choking to death on smoke. Great job, so futuristic.

Bigger issue overall is fire departments dragging their feet on not having the correct gear/training to handle self sustaining lithium fires. Gasoline is easy to suppress and dilute, lithium not so much, since it’s difficult to get water directly to the cells to cool them below autoignition point.

Not a blunder. Intentional grift. 100% guarantee someone in the admin was in on the deal and made out with instant 50% profit.

Any filament will have some non-zero transparency when laid in a thin layer. Additionally the bridging across infill will add some surface distortion that can also be visible.

Is this a multicolor print with a filament swap?

Add more 3-5 more top layers of red petg to make it more opaque. It may also help to use a different infill style, like lightning, or increase density/add multi-line.

And it’ll go just like last time, every Republican closes ranks and it wastes everyone’s time

How can they sanction us when global finance still overwhelmingly depends on the dollar though?

The world has been gradually de-dollarizing for over a decade now. USD held as global currency reserves has fallen from 70% to 40%. BRICS nations are implementing their own payment systems based on the renminbi, and the eurozone obviously can operate independently already.

A lot of global value is tied up in US investment systems, sure. But a nuke drop would make that value not very valuable anymore. It would suck and the world would be stuck in another great depression, but the rest of the world has plenty of functional financial systems to keep moving on.

Ahh that tracks. Glad you got it figured out.

Not in a majority of the country, they still use contract gig employees using personal vehicles in my town.

I refuse to buy anything except real chocolate bars by lindt or similar “premium” brands

Honestly, some of the best chocolate you can get is just semi-sweet baking chips

3.5% fee is now permanent even if fuel prices drop

also 0% of this fee will go towards the last-mile contract delivery drivers

Fuck you mean? All the US oil majors are ROLLING in cash right now, they still have plenty of supply but get to profit from global shortages. They love this shit.

Junior high at best!

And the oil markets responded appropriately, WTI is now $112.

Bye bye any economic performance for all of 2026!

Oh yeah. Global logistics with slow-boat tankers are scheduled multiple months in advance to keep the machine flowing. With every single route now completely thrown awry, there’s no going back for at least a year.
