11:59 <@Mirage_> Snagged this today because it was on sale, went to play it, then promptly requested a refund thanks to XBox Live requirements.  https://store.steampowered.com/app/495420/State_of_Decay_2_Juggernaut_Edition/

12:00 <@Dagmar> Doh
12:01 <@Mirage_> They may have fixed it, but the XBox Live crap was removed 2-3 days after installing Windows because it kept popping up w/ shit and generally being annoying.  NOT reinstalling it.
12:02 <@Dagmar> Oh I don't blame you there
12:02 <@Dagmar> I have ignored the last couple of Ubisoft releases for much the same reason
12:02 <@Dagmar> I have no intention of playing a game where the "deal" is I'm allowed to play it as long as they can spy on me
12:02 <@Mirage_> I'll just keep playing this other game I also snagged this morning. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1338770/Sniper_Ghost_Warrior_Contracts_2/

12:03 <@Dagmar> Fuck that, and fuck any company who thinks that is reasonable
12:06 <@Mirage_> So my cable internet issue appears to have just been a series of bad modems.  Since the last guy out swapped hardware out for brand new in the box vs shrink wrapped in the warehouse I haven't had any issues.  
12:07 <@Mirage_> I'm just dumbfounded that the initial problem was a failing modem, which was replaced by 2 more bad/failing modems.  Awesome quality control... lol
12:17 <@Dagmar> Not much
12:17 <@Dagmar> @#$@#
13:17 <@Mirage_> Watching "South Park: Post Covid".. 10 minutes in and enjoying it.  The bit about Bitcoin/cryptocurrency when checking into the hotel is awesome. 
13:19 <@Mirage_> The constant assault on PC/non-offensive comedy is great

15:11 <@Mirage_> fucking hawk got one of our chickens a bit ago.  either while we were on the back porch or when we went in the house for a couple minutes to grab beers.
15:12 <@Mirage_> If weren't in town the bastard would have gotten shot.
15:28 <@Mirage_> Facebook really needs settings for:  Hide all religious bullshit, holiday crap, memes that make you dumber just for having seen them, and most of all shit created for the purpose of collecting random PII to help with cracking stupid passwords
15:47 <@Dagmar> That would eliminate probably 80% of their ad revenue, so... don't count on it happening
15:48 <@Dagmar> You can always join the ranks of people responding in a hostile fashion to all the bullshit posts that are clearly just fronting for stalky fucking profiling companies
15:54 <@Dagmar> So... Audra was a little peeved last night
15:55 <@Dagmar> She had to ditch an entire batch of spice tea because of a recall of a whole bunch of powdered drinks, due to "possible contamination by tiny pieces of glass and metal"
15:55 <@Dagmar> Translation: Someone dropped their fucking cell phone into the powder grinder.
15:56 <@Dagmar> Also, if you have any of that you might want to check it against this https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/kraft-heinz-voluntarily-recalls-select-country-time-lemonade-tang-arizona-tea-powdered-beverages-and

16:56 < PigBot> Nantucket man reportedly gives Joe Biden the finger (at nypost.com) https://tinyurl.com/y22ksn78
16:57 <@Mirage_> Yeah, I'd still take Biden on his worst day over Trump on his best because at least now we don't have to worry that the next time he runs his mouth he's not going to start a war with someone.  I honestly don't know how we didn't wind up in war with N Korea and/or China

20:28 < Evilpig> Mirage_: I need a second opinion.  took this on my way home from KY tonight.  this was after about 2 hours of straight 70 - 80mph travel.  https://photos.app.goo.gl/pAgPkqXauimFcxo67

20:28 < Evilpig> I have a feeling my thermostat is stuck/failed wide open and that's likely part of the reason i'm getting 17 - 18mpg
