If it was meant in a “lay off me” or “get off my back” way, I think “stop busting my balls” would be an accurate translation

Could that be translated more colloquially to “stop busting my balls”?

A screw, bolt, nut, etc. that could feasibly have come from the car itself

That’s because it’s the easy way out for those studios. Can’t design the macguffins so they’re interesting to find no sir. They’ve got to be well hidden, but that makes it too difficult for the player and we can’t have that! Better implement the Macguffin Highlighter Pulse™ to lead them right to it!

Was at a brewery last night where the “bathroom” was a row of sinks, and then a row of doors labeled “sit” or “stand”. The commode cubicles were full length walls and doors, totally private, and this just makes so much more sense to me

Baseball cap at a baseball game over the weekend, or a hard hat at work last night, depending if you count that as a hat

Are those themes actually present in game, or is this another “please don’t hurt our feelings” from China?

DOW II is perfect for co-op with a friend. You have much less to keep track of, and it’s a good time playing through it!

DoD work (both civilian and active duty) tends to bind people together a lot more than other industries, in no small part due to the factors you mentioned, but also because a) the additional barriers of national security/clearance work make it only really possible to vent about work to coworkers/friends from work, b) the work can often be unique enough that only coworkers have shared experiences to bond over and empathize with, and c) the civilian side of the DoD tends to attract career folks a lot more than it does transitory people. I think a disproportionate amount (when compared to private industry) of civilians who hire into the DoD stay in federal service for their whole careers. And people sticking around their whole careers tend to invest more in personal and professional relationships in the workplace, because networking is how you get opportunities, and you never know who you might owe a favor some day (or who might owe you one).

eldritch fish…

Well, there’s your collab with Dredge already written!

DLC in this context is pretty widely understood to mean in game content. So additional areas, cosmetics, missions, etc. not the soundtrack. Steam just categorizes the soundtracks as DLC for games in general.

I have not had first hand experience, but I would recommend you find out if the degree program you’re interested in from them is accredited or not. The school I went to for undergrad has ABET accreditation for the Mechanical Engineering program (and the applicable accreditations for all other degrees). A lot of employers do require your program be accredited, and whether or not TECH has the applicable accreditations will tell you a) whether it would be a good move for you career-wise and b) whether you can expect the appropriate amount of rigor from the program (i.e. The program may be a degree-mill rather than an actual learning opportunity).

I think the meaning is that the Lemmy.ml fascists aren’t actually communist.

Yeah they did. My reading of the policy is that YouTube does not allow content that shows off legally dubious (or outright banned in any state) accessories, and does not allow firearms in live streams (because shit can and often does go wrong, and live censoring isn’t really a thing). Teaching firearm safety is still very much allowed.

I feel like that comes down to misconceptions over X-ray vs. MRI. Because you absolutely CANNOT have any metal on you for an MRI.

Add chopped fresh roasted hatch green Chile, and I’m yours

That is correct. The ratio is nanograms of substance to kilograms of bodyweight

FWIW, one of the best parts of the Foosball Table set (21337) is the shear number of wigs and faces it comes with so you can totally customize your players. It comes with 22 “generic Danish interlocking children’s building set” men and 44 unique wigs/heads. It’s pretty cool imo

Any idea when these are gonna be available in the US?

Okay, most absolute basic troubleshoot check: is there an on/off switch on the power supply that might be off?
