Hey, he’s like, just this guy, you know?

Direct message

Did they really “fall” for it though? Or did they just spread it because it fit their agenda?

+1 for the Dark Tower books.

But I’d note, there’s a dramatic tonal shift between the first half and the last half.

After book 4, you lose the flashbacks to Roland’s youth and it’s a straight through narrative for books 5, 6 and 7.

I think the accident that almost killed him put the fear of god in him.

I was wondering what had happened, seemed like things got super quiet. Flipped over to my lemmy.world account and it was back to normal.

Plus, NORMALLY in reporting like this, there would be a link to see if the readers vehicle is impacted. I don’t think Reuters even bothered.

Says it’s updated as of 9/26.

I was part of the hardcore build it yourself crew for years and years, but I find now that for the last 10 years or so now, and especially with the death of places like Fry’s and all the bullshit Newegg pulled, it’s way easier and cheaper to buy a pre-built box that’s maybe 90-95% there, then tweak what you need to tweak.

Get that manufacturers warranty and forget trying to part it out yourself.

$3,500 here.

Pretty much. Try getting a job without online access, or applying for state and federal benefits. Or getting a doctor through your insurance plan.
