I only have Destiny 2. I check the Rocket League one when a new season comes up, but I haven't paid to activate the premium tier since like... Season 3? I also check the Marvel Snap one, haven't gone Premium on that one in a couple months.

Not an f-up.
You caught a potential problem when there's still time to make changes to mitigate it. You should thank him for the heads-up!

You're twisting what I actually said purely to be confrontational. Knock it off. "Don't currently intend to re-sign" in the context I chose to use it in, means literally that they haven't said they intend to re-sign. Why has no bearing. The fact of the matter is, the team has not said "we intend to re-sign". They've said that they want to, but it's up to Brady. That doesn't sound anything like "we intend to re-sign".

It's literally just semantics. If they were 100% for sure, matter-of-fact, "come Hell or high water" going to re-sign him, they would specifically say so. He's still with the team until the league year flips over, so they're allowed to do that per the league rules regarding pending free agents. The fact that they aren't means it's not a 100% guarantee.

Again, "very much wanting him back" isn't the same as "intend to re-sign".

Right... But there is one answer: "we intend to re-sign", and anything otherwise would be not currently intending. Wanting, hoping, thinking of all fall into "not currently intending". It's like travel speed: there's stopped (0 MPH), and all other speeds.

I honestly don't know, they may have soured on the idea of a QB that learned from Brady after Jimmy G (who they did nothing but kneecap the entire time he was with that org).

Today's fun fact is technically correct!
However, the Buccaneers don't currently intend to re-sign him, thus making him a free agent when the league year turns over, and who knows if anyone will pick him up. I don't believe that he'll be without a team next season, even if it's a one-year deal to give a team's future franchise quarterback time to mature and learn from one of the best to ever play the game.

Reply to comment by serotoninzero in LPT: Colour code your USB cables with cable ties. by ikothsowe
To be fair, my primary computer is a laptop, because I travel a lot for work. I have an external hard drive that I don't take with me when I travel, a webcam that I unplug when I'm not using it, an Xbox controller and a flight stick (which I unplug when not in use). Then, I have a USB KVM switch so I can connect my keyboard, mouse, and headset to both my personal and work computers.

You didn't even read the rest of the comment thread, did you? OP stated that the USB hubs are switched, so the individual ports can be turned off without having to unplug the device. Which is the best option in this scenario.

The biggest issue with these keys is that unless they're made to only insert one way (using a guide rail or notch or something), one key can potentially open two doors (if you can find the "mirror" lock.

Good grief, why?!? Prolong the life of your devices by unplugging them when not in use. I have 1 USB hub/switch, which has my keyboard, mouse, and headset, which I use on both my personal and work laptops. I only plug in my controllers (an Xbox controller and a flight stick) when I'm going to use them, an external storage drive, and a webcam (again, only plugged in when I'm planning to use it).

Reply to comment by TheLeftHandedCatcher in TIFU by getting involved with a communist group, all because of a girl by Ingegner-Cane
I'm also American, and yes there was a time where being associated with Communists was "problematic", but not strictly illegal. Also, I find it humorous that many Americans seem to equate Communism as anti-democracy, when it's actually anti-Capitalist. Personally, I think that system built to be purely Communist has too many issues, but also a system built to be purely Capitalist has too many issues as well.
I'm personally in favor of the concept of universal basic income. We keep trying to toot our own horn, claiming to be the "best, wealthiest, most powerful nation", when too many people, including war veterans are homeless. There's no logical reason for the US to have a homelessness problem beyond pure greed. Same goes for malnourishment.

Reply to comment by 9thGearEX in How many premium battlepasses do you currently have active? by 9thGearEX
It essentially is. Without buying the content, you basically get the new (and/or returning) location, one mission, and the "basic" upgrades/improvements and loot. I tell people who are interested in the game that they should still use the free-to-play offerings to get a feel for the basic gameplay mechanics, but expect to buy content if you like the game.
