I think some people are very sensative to the tone of the "excuse me". The phrase "excuse me" has a sarcastic or ironic use (insert Tobias Funke gif here) so some people are more sensitive to that coming from a stranger.
I'm talking outta my ass here, but I have family members who don't use the phrase in the polite "pardon me" type of way but exclusively in a sarcastic mocking way.
I don't really say "excuse me" anymore when trying to get past someone/maneuver in a public place. I've found a lot more success/less weird interaction with saying "pardon me" instead. Hell even a "Please excuse me" or "Excuse me, please" is a safer bet if you dont want to deal with some grumpy asshole misinterpreting your intent.
Every ICE piece of shit deserves the wall and worse. This is fucking insane. I cannot believe the people brave enough to stand up to these fuckers aren't rolling deep strapped the fuck up.
You can! There's the Egyptians, Hittites, Canaanites, Sea Peoples, Mesopotamians, and the Achean and Pelasgians from Troy. All playable factions with a couple of varying amounts of different leaders to pick from in each culture.
There's two versions of Pharaoh, Total War: Pharaoh and Total War: Pharaoh Dynasties.
Dynasties is really good. It added back in a family tree and plays much more like the old historical games than Total War: Pharaoh. It's still very different from the older historical titles though. The resource management got changed around in a big way. It takes a little getting used to, but it makes sense for the most part.
Pharaoh Dynasties has always run surprising well for me, so big battles feel GREAT. The campaign map is very pretty, and I like most of the new mechanics. Sieges aren't total ass like they are in most Total War games, though still not super great.
I find it a much better Bronze age total war than Troy, but I did have fun with Troy Total War as well.
I'm happy they've finally officially announced that they're working on this. Still, this is a LONG ways off from being released.
I'm cautiously optimistic. I actually really liked Pharaoh once the Dynasties update dropped, and it made me think a fully fleshed out historical title might actually end up being good.
Still though, I remember Empire and Rome 2's release, so the announcement of this being the first game out on the new engine has bad connotations with CA's history.
I'm with you, I thought Dano was excellent, especially playing opposite DDL in that movie.
I have no idea who Austin Butler is tbh. Looks at his IMDB and I've seen some things he's been in, but I guess he's just never stood out to me. He was in Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, so maybe he was just the first youngish male actor that popped into Quentin's head at that moment?
‘There Will Be Blood’ would stand a good chance at being #1 or #2 if it didn’t have a big, giant flaw in it … and the flaw is Paul Dano. Obviously, it’s supposed to be a two-hander, but it’s also drastically obvious that it’s not a two-hander. [Dano] is weak sauce, man. He is the weak sister. Austin Butler would have been wonderful in that role. He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. The weakest fcking actor in SAG [laughs].”
What the fuck lol. I thought Dano did an excellent job with that role. This has got to be some sort of personal grudge, right?
I've been documenting my homelab experiments, set ups, configurations, how-to's, etc in both Trilium and Silverbullet. I use Silverbullet more as a wiki and Trilium for journal style notes. I just got into self hosting earlier this year, so I'm by no means an expert or authority on any of this.
So my Silverbullet set up contains most of my documentation on how to get things set up. I have sections for specific components of the homelab (Proxmox general set up, general networking, specific how tos for getting various VMs and LXCs set up for specific applications, specific how tos on getting docker stacks up and running, etc.)
I didn't document shit the first two times I set up and restarted my entire homelab, but by the third time I learned. And from there I basically just wrote down what I did to get things running properly, and then reviewed the notes afterword to make sure I understood what I wrote. This is never a perfect process, so in the following attempts of resetting my server, I've updated sections or made things more clear so that when I'm coming at this 8 months later I can follow my guide fully and be up and running.
Some of my notes are just copy pasted directly from tutorials I originally followed to get things set up. This way I just have an easily accessible local copy.
When I troubleshoot something, I document the steps I take in Trilium using the journal feature, so I can easily track the times and dates of when I did what. This has helped me out immensely because I forget what the fuck I did the week before all the time.
I learned all this through trial and error. You'll figure out what needs to be documented as you go along, so don't get too caught up trying to make sure you have a perfect documentation plan in place before deploying anything.
I'm one of those people who never really took notes on things or wrote shit down for most my life. Mostly because I've been doing shit that doesn't require extensive documentation, so it was a big learning curve.
Oh boy I can't wait for the inevitable slapstick comedy routine of asking the ICE pig who's asking me to remove my mask, to remove his mask first, as we go back in forth in a perpetual "Nuh uh, you first" standoff, before being gruesomely snapped back to reality as I'm violently pulled my from vehicle, beaten to shit, shipped to an American concentration camp, then to a foreign one to die in squalor with the thousands of other poor souls unfortunate enough to exist within the United States.
All because I didn't want my face in ICEs shitty database for 15 years. The database that supercedes birth certificate for some reason?
I fucking hate these people and can't wait for them to cease stealing oxygen. I will celebrate that day. In the meantime, 1000 shocky collars upon them and their families.
I get this issue about 60% of the time I click on a reddit link with ProtonVPN. Though for some reason this week I've had no issues, but the past month I kept needing to server hop.
I need to catch up. I've been really bad at setting some time aside to read for an hour this past month.
