Kinda crazy when they subvert expectations like that sometimes and actually prove themselves as a journalist.

You’d think a journalist for Teen Vogue or Cosmopolitan would be a hack and then all of a sudden they drop some in-depth, well written op-ed that makes you go “what? How?..”

Like I said elsewhere, I’ve actually got a couple copies of Rolling Stone from the opening weeks/months of the Iraq Invasion (their somewhere in my personal library) and the comparison to issues from before the war is staggering. Their journalists were actually really good and when they weren’t being told to write a bunch of gobbledygook about a has-been one hit wonder, they were really capable journalists.

Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.

Oh the memories.

That said, before multiplayer was centralised, you checked the server pingtime before joining the server.

Scrolling through servers on CS:Source trying to find one that wasn’t pinging harder than my anxiety… Those were the days.

There’s still a way to do it but it’s convoluted compared to if they’d just add a damn resource monitor into the game itself.

If you still care about figuring out your ping: this comment on reddit from a year ago tells you how to find your games server IP, from there you can just fire up command prompt and hit with ping -n 100 <IP/Adress> This should return your ping and packet loss with the server.

I’ve had mine for a good while now and it’s out up with all maner of abuse. Plus mine has a canvas strap that I prefer over metal or silicone.

That or the Casio Pro-Trek if you want something that’s not the G-Shock

Wind or Nuclear.

I get that nuclear is a Boogeyman for some but it really is one of the better options for taking a step in the right direction and getting us closer to less oil dependency.

It’s great because nobody can figure out who may be doing it.

There’s a running theory that it’s the same graffiti artist that had been doing anti-corpo stuff during Occupy WallStreet like some kind of ancap banksy but again, they haven’t been caught nor identified.

Example A of why you should always have a trusted friend or family member that you make contact with regularly and the understanding of “if you don’t hear from me in x amount of time. Something’s probably happened to me.”

Some person(s) in my city used to go around slapping stickers over Trump bumper stickers that said “drink beer, support the queer!”. As of recently several Teslas have had “Built by fascism” slapped on them… Wonder if it’s the same person(s).

The same guy who has toddler level temper tantrums when people call him out for being a man child.

Inb4 even more “fuck u/spez” spam happens.
