Took my partner to emerg last winter at 5am when she was so ill I was frightened.

The screen in the ER said an estimated 10 hour 15 minute wait time before seeing a physician or nurse practitioner.

She lasted two hours waiting there before begging me to take her back home. No doctor or medical staff saw her, we went home with nothing. All this to say I am unsurprised others are experiencing the same, it's awful right now.

You'll get less eye strain with 144hz vs 60. Long story short i swapped years ago and it was immediately worth it. My boss complained of headaches from screens so I recommended he upgrade, he mentioned recently he hasn't had issues since. Anecdotal of course but everyone i know with eye pain or headache issues have had a better time using higher refresh rates.

For those who don't know thia already - they just released a subscription for Payday 2, a game that launched in 2013. This is for access to some unspecified amount of the dlcs and they're getting clowned on (sorry) for it.

They don't ship in general besides the local area near their factory, it's pretty frustrating. Their website does list certain retailers that carry their shoes but with an outlier shoe size not having a way to place a custom order means I can't support the business despite needing to replace some boots and wanting to buy canadian.

You don't have to use the same image for the feature as the embed preview. The featured image is often the default (and you have a fallback just in case), but you can also choose to replace it for socials. Don't know what this is built in (on mobile) but it could just be using a different file.

I haven't seen this before so grain of salt but I'm assuming it's just to be eye-catching so you click to their site. I'm also assuming you wouldn't want it to be a gif on your own site because of accessibility concerns, but that depends on your requirements which vary pretty widely by country.

Homeworld 1. Childhood favourite space rts but wasn't good enough to finish it. Since progress and troops carry between levels, a screw-up early can really hurt down the line. The narration, the sound design, it was so compelling. I have the remaster, but always want to start a fresh run and try it all again. Never made it to the end without losing steam.
