Ah, fuck me, you’re right; the version I always heard was that the stave churches were from before Catholicism spread to Norway. I didn’t realize they were mostly medieval construction. And yeah, I grew up Catholic and fucking hated that evangelicals thought that meant I wasn’t “Christian.”
Tim Walz is standing by
AmeriKKKan evangelicals are a cancer. Few things aggravate me more than the fact that when Norwegian black metal musicians decided to start burning down churches, they stayed in Norway and torched old pre-Christian “heathen” churches built by Norse pagans. If they could have just come over to the US, they could have had a grand old time with some of the evangelical megachurches out here, many of which aren’t built or wired up to code because in spite of somehow being able to afford $2M in real estate, the clergy are still penny-pinching chodes.
The problem with capitalism is that you eventually run out of Satan’s dinosaur bones 
Apparently listing any sort of policy positions on your campaign website must cost at least $1.6 billion.
Am I a joke to you?
I know I say this like every time it’s brought up, but I will reiterate yet again: FF13 is the ideal JRPG to play while drunk. The out-of-combat mechanics are “Hallway Simulator 2009.” The in-combat mechanics are “mash these three buttons in this sequence, unless it’s this slightly more annoying type of encounter, then use this other sequence instead.” The rest of it is forgettable cutscenes where Snow yells a lot over his shitty nu-metal leitmotif, and the story is so incoherent that it wouldn’t matter if you were sober anyway. Some people drink to forget; if you’re playing FF13, you drink to not remember in the first place, and it’s a better experience for it.
Yup, this mechanic is EXACTLY what killed FF9 for me. I’ll probably get around to finishing it one of these days, but I’m not going to be happy about it.
Summoning coffee slaves with a bourgeois phone app is “bad vibes”
Their Icon series windshield wipers are surprisingly decent. Project Farm on YouTube did a shootout video a while back with one hell of a testing rig.
My only complaint on them is that the cover that goes over the wiper arm hook is really flimsy and has a tendency to come loose and flop around. I’ve had the same set on my car for going on four or five years now and while it’s definitely time to change them out, both covers have been fucky since less than a year since installation. I think the plastic just doesn’t tolerate sub-zero temps very well, least of all when you accidentally thwack them with a plastic ice scraper.
Posadists need to fucking chill with the lathe already
Ah, weird. If TPM is disabled in BIOS, that will do it.
Windows 11 requires a CPU that includes a “trusted platform module” (TPM), which basically just adds boot-time crypto support in hardware and is supposed to help cut down on stuff like boot sector and firmware-based malware. Older CPUs didn’t have the version of TPM required by Win11 (TPM 2.0), so this is planned obsolescence biting us all in the ass, as well as a personal “fuck you” from Microsoft to AMD first-gen Ryzen owners.
Intel has supported TPM 2.0 since the 8th gen (e.g., the i7-8700K generation) and AMD has supported it since the Ryzen 2000/Zen+ series (e.g., Ryzen 7 2700).
I guess they wanted to make sure that all of the spyware uses signed code and comes from a “trusted” source.
How long until she declares the Louisiana Purchase unconstitutional at this rate? 
Oh shit, OOP is the indie dev who is allegedly working on a game called Sheep Lad, which is a souped-up Zelda II: The Adventure of Link-esque Metroidvania with some pretty deep sword fighting mechanics. They’ve been picking at it for a couple of years now.
Posadists stay winning…?
Depends, is it a “bring your own fertilizer” kind of shindig?
