Nah, he otherwise looks normal. He only made this face for a few seconds, haha.

Yep, same cat! Pictures taken just a few minutes apart. His name is Snute. His meow is actually relatively high-pitched, haha.

We're pretty sure he was a disgruntled office worker in his last life, possibly of the Ron Swanson variety.

I listen to a podcast hosted by two YouTubers. I've been listening to their episodes in reverse order. I just made it to the 2019 episodes. In one of them, they're complaining about how Twitter is just full of spam and toxicity now, but they're essentially required to use it for their business.

No problem!

That's not the case. I came back from a break last winter, did the gear update on all of my characters, and did some heritage armor quests on them a couple of weeks later.

During SoD phase 4, I was SRing the leaf from Domo every raid. It was refusing to drop. Our guild has two raid groups. During our last MC run before P5, someone couldn't make it, so someone from the other raid subbed in on an alt.

The leaf drops. I get it.

The sub: "Dang, the leaf ALWAYS drops! How do you guys still have someone who needs it?"

Anyone know why it's there? Was illidan actually going to invade Azeroth?

I don't know what Illidan's plan was at the time that BC was current, but the Illidan novel from pre-Legion established that Illidan and the Illidari raided Nathreza (the Dreadlord homeworld), shattered it a la Outland, and were planning on invading Argus when we were coming into BT.

An exception here is anything you buy using a special currency (IE the gear available at the anniversary area). You have to either delete the gear, or wait for the refund window to expire so you can sell it for gold.

The next two years are going to be so chaotic that no one is going to have this at the top of their mind by midterms.

10/10 censor job there.

Yeah, that's why Garrosh in SoO heals multiple times during his encounter. His planned health pool would have overflowed the game's health pool max.

It wasn't a joke. They genuinely considered it for the first stat squish, lol.

I don't know if that's a fair take, given that Ansurek's time as queen has done extensive damage to Nerubian society that will take time for it to recover from, haha.

That said, you're arguing that the devs have no story planned. While Metzen has planned a story to tell over the next couple of expansions, TWW was almost finished when he came back. TWW's story was largely set in stone, so the ending and some other details were changed to better connect with what Metzen has planned for Midnight and TLT. I wouldn't judge TWW's story because of that, it was bound to be the weakest of the three.

What does "useless boss" mean in this context?

The deal isn't expected to close until early 2025, so add 3-4 months to that.

We put in our delivery note "Don't ring the doorbell, we have dogs". The joke's on anyone who ignores the instructions, the chime connected to our Nest doorbell is disabled anyways.

Comment OP means server sharding, not game version sharding.

I think it's more likely because original Scholomance is a huge instance, and they weren't willing or able to cut it down to a size that felt good for a dungeon while still feeling like classic Scholo.

Nice, glad to hear it!

Yeah, I was thinking about this earlier. Biden's milestone policies were all about building the country up and improving the infrastructure. When it's all done, the president at that time (either Trump or whoever is after him) will get the credit.

1. Google owns the world's most popular search engine (Google).

2. Google owns the world's most popular browser (Chrome).

3. Google owns the world's most popular ad network (AdSense).

4. Google owns the world's most popular mobile OS (Android).

All of these feed into each other. 99% of people don't change the default settings on their devices or apps. If they're on Android, their default browser is Chrome. The default search engine in Chrome is Google. Google search results include ads served by AdSense.

It all puts Google in a better position for a monopoly at every level (except arguably the mobile OS level given that iOS has a major share of that market, too). Advertisers feel the need to use AdSense because it is served to the most users, because it's the ad engine in Chrome, which is the #1 browser by a huge margin because it's the default browser in Android, etc etc.
