They Should have already confirmed working / replaced everything from the modem to the wire between the house and the local pole by now. So them coming out (given everything else) is nearly pointless short of doing a traceroute command (while it's out) to see where in the hops it's dropping. That should give the EXACT IP / location for where the failure is at that point in time. I say that because things don't Always take the same path depending on the complexity of connections between your house and the hubs as there could be alternate branches that the connection may take.

1/10 for no real dragons

Fair enough, I guess if you're looking for the Root folder for the game, then that wouldn't be the most direct method of identification

Right click the icon you're using for the game and look at the Properties window. It'll even give you the option to "show in folder" / "open file location" normally which is probably more helpful.

Which in the modern world is BS because they're now essential services (for internet / phone)

While the shared connection nature of cable IS an aspect that could easily be a component, the bigger contributors (aka business) should be isolated from (consumer) your lines. There is of course the local streamer who could be clogging things up, but even they are only likely exacerbating, not causing the issue. For frame of reference, when we had DSL (until I pushed for cable), anytime it rained, their little shack of a local node here would drop (probably because it wasn't likely sealed properly), so yeah, that'll do it too. When I was up north, we had squirrels get into the close-to-the-house junction box and cause us to be down all weekend (bad for college kids). If this continues much longer (and/or it looks like you're being pushed aside), then I'd push to have an outside (call the news?) source look into it as being an act of ineptness or bureaucracy (who really owns the lines / node causing the issue?!?). What it Feels like is that said point of failure is being managed by the next tier up the chain (of ownership) and They're dropping the ball.

Such a good tech and he didn't leave notes?!? If it's multiple people / homes, then they need to troubleshoot the first node between them and their nearest main hub. If they can't figure THAT out, then they all need refunds on their schooling.

Are we sure they're Emus and not Pushmi-Pullyu's?

Gonna say, "this is a job for LKN!!!" 😛

HOLY SHEET PEOPLE!!! I'd never get to play (when I actually played) had I gone nearly this far. 😛 That's why I liked CoH Faces back then. Shame we don't have something like that now (that I'm aware of).

Yeah, I don't get to my normal socials until After here because this takes less time, so hadn't seen those flow by yet. 😛

IDK, I kinda like the "Wait! No, no, no. Accident!" movie a little more.

K... Almost instinct marked it as spam, but the OP has normal posts.

Oh, I thought this was a new AT suggestion. Kinda like the ability to do a Jekyll and Hyde type character. It would have to be a ground up AT for sure, but would be interesting.

Depending on the person (age, etc), it may still be 😛

Everyone's for smaller maps until some goofball Troller SS' the Scraps in a cave. >.<

Keep in mind that things like the recent "Winnie the Pooh" horror films and similar Mickey Mouse movies only counted for THOSE variants, so you could still get smacked for using the name / likeness most likely because their Current variants are close enough to count.

This sounds like it could be logistically challenging and easy to abuse. Probably the best thing would to simply dual-box, leave the secondary idle in the background (use the low fps command to save the limited performance hit), and when you get inspiration toggle to the other window (will need a 2nd account), do the quick check, and you're done. What you're asking for overall seems like it would ask for things that would take a bit of an effort to script and the next thing people would then ask to be added to it would be "well, how much Longer until it's available" and "can I make an in-game timer Macro?" which will both go bust when the original person decides to play that character, resetting the timers.

When thinking about it from the perspective of differentiating ATs, I think that a Brute is what was intended as a "more strength" variant and perhaps why it wasn't done.

Shhh, we don't talk about Disney's slave labor tactics. That's back in the pre-Joy-Joy days. 😉

Finally got a response and apparently this is what we're dealing with. So basically, we could probably do this with a multi-core potato. 😛 The email does mention that this is only One of the resource intensive apps, but I'm assuming the rest will likely be in the same realm of requirements, or at least in the build recommendation scope. https://www.stata.com/products/compatible-operating-systems/ Stata requires 64-bit Windows for x86-64 processors made by Intel® or AMD (Core i3 equivalent or better) Disk Space: 2 Gb RAM: 4 Gb Stata/MP can perform calculations in parallel on 2 to 64 cores App is I/O intensive No specifics for GPUs So yeah, whatever I had in mind is perfectly fine, but since the app is I/O intensive, then I'm going to highly encourage the dedicated SSD for the app / cache data. Something that I figured would be a thing considering the nature of the app. Again, I figure they might play Civ7 on it too (unless they choose to use the new XB I got them for that), so I'll still keep that into account. I'm still not solid on the GPU, but I'm only being held back by the fact that the 7900 XTX doesn't have the newer stuff and the 4090 apparently runs circles around it. What I'll likely suggest is to keep their current GPU for now as that'll keep the initial build cost at bay considering the CPU has an APU that can also be used for now. I think I'll still suggest getting the updated PSU to cover the future GPU upgrade and avoid the hassle of needing to swap it later.

Yeah, from the sounds of it, it hit the coast and fell apart. I think the East Coast tornados probably caused most the damage.
