The site predates the comics by 15 years, I feel confident it influenced the character name.

What was ever cool about stormfront? I remember them as the ignorant assholes that got booted off public BBS and created it as a KKK safe space.

After typing it out, funny to me how that keeps recurring.

Edit - lol I guess "stormfront" they meant this character from The Boys, not the Klan site oops.

The easiest approach would likely be "scouting" on behalf of an associate, perhaps they couldn't make it and sent you. Take lots of pictures for your associate, and you're not personally involved with the purchase makes it easier to handwave questions.

If you insist on pretending to be rich keep discussion light, talk about potential renovations, take pictures to send to your designer. Ask about the history of the home, dig for unique characteristics. Inquire about the area and what kind of "crowds" to expect. Don't dress too fancy, don't pull up in a 09 civic (park around the block and walk), and if they ask, you made a small fortune trading crypto.

100% depends on who's performing. I've driven 500 miles for a festival, but probably wouldn't for a single artist/one night show.

I just haven't seen any interviews with him yet

Let me help change that, with one of his 'hot takes'

There's a lot of testimony out there on social media saying he may have!

We all saw Harris executing this baby in his 78th year, why won't Dems talk about it?

"I got involved with the Taliban" simply isn't a phase I thought I'd hear from a candidate, in any context.

Going to use this meme post to say I've done some research, and I can empathize with the Springfield community. They have taken in 15-20,000 Haitian immigrants for temporary stay, in a community of 60,000.

This does seem like a real issue that can reshape communities and strain local services. I do believe they need support. It's a bit of a shame it's been presented in such a ridiculous way.

Edit to highlight -

Springfield police, Springfield city and Clark County officials said that rumors of pets or wildlife being eaten by Haitian immigrants had zero verified reports of specific claims

I have a problem with my International Space Station 21321 set, all the blue clips that hold the panels to the main beams are crumbling, and weakened enough that I wake up to panels on the floor. I have no idea why this is happening, but hoping someone can help? Ideas I can do different to prevent it after I replace these parts? It seems to effect all the blue clips not just the big ones, even the little pod lost one of its solar panels :(

Some details, it's probably 4 years old now. I keep it on display but not under glass, in a 72f room. I have difficulty keeping it totally dust free as it's very fragile to begin with, but it's never really been touched otherwise.

Thanks for any ideas

Edit: not the technic connectors, the blue solar panel pattern tiles are the problem

I undertook a sizeable upgrade today, bringing a skylake era build into the 2020s with a 13th gen. All core components- memory, motherboard, GPU, everything must go... except the drives. We were nervous, my friend really felt we should reinstall. There was debate, and drama. Considerations and exceptions. No, I couldn't let my OS go. I have spent years tweaking and tuning, molding my ideal computing environment. We pushed forward.

Well I'm pleased to say it was mostly uneventful. The ethernet adapter was renamed causing misconfigured dhcp, but otherwise it booted right up like nothing happened. Sorry, linux is boring now.
