Nonsense. We’ve been doing Lugia raids with ~10 here in Seattle. The typing is a little harder to get super effective against, but once you figure out the matchups it’s not a whole lot harder.

Personally, I’ll be using “murdered by a cop”.

Yep and they’re the strongest Pokemon in the game - this is now officially a pay to win scam.

Quiet The man is a war hero and I’m trying to not wish that his clot killed him.

There was quite a bit of press that he was the yes vote that they needed, if he actually doesn’t support the bill he could be coming back to vote no and make sure to kill that narrative (for his legacy, since I’d be shocked if he runs again, he doesn’t really have anything to lose by finally finding his spine).

Seriously, my grandfather was a first generation Italian-American member of Sons of Italy. He loved him some Olive Garden. Of course, that was because it reminded him of the cheap food of his youth (loaded with fat and salt), but still.

The motivation for everything this “government” does is glaringly obvious if you accept a few simple suppositions. 1) They’re in bed with Russia. 2) It’s all about their own personal fortunes. 3) Literally nothing else matters to them.

He literally only took the job so he could ease sanctions on Russian oil, so he and his buddies could rake in billions. Now that congress is blocking the administration from doing so it’s no surprise he’s no longer interested in the job.

Except they’ve been practicing this for years with Ingress events. They had all of the information and experience internally that they needed to scale appropriately and pull this off. From what I’ve been reading, they didn’t even try.

They have no excuse, they’ve held ingress events that had pretty big attendance, with people also flying in from all over the country/world. The first few of those were rocky as well but they figured out the scaling. The fact that they dropped the ball here is absolutely inexcusable, they’ve already gone through their…

My question then is why in the hell did they hold it in Chicago?! Niantic is based in SF, and they’ve held events all over the country for Ingress. Surely they knew people somewhere at some park that could have helped them.

You get ~8 balls with roughly the catch rate of a standard pokeball, even with a golden berry, the catch rate is <5%. Then, when (not if, when) it flees, you can’t just play the same raid again with the same people. You have to wait for another one to eventually spawn and hope you can get the necessary ~10-15 people…

.

Yes. 100%.

So, just to be clear, I don’t have to have inflicted “Iron Fist” on myself to be able to watch - and get - The Defenders, right? Because if I have to, I will, but I’d really rather not.

Yeah... right... a “DDOS attack” that used the FCC API which requires approval to access... Suuuure. They know exactly who did it, and I’m betting that it was on Pai’s orders. The FCC is headed by lying morons.

I still don’t know who Ed Sheeran is, and frankly, still don’t care to find out.

This is a pretty great deal. Just a note: you don’t actually *need* the Hue Bridge if you already have a smartthings hub you can connect to and control them directly, you just have to install a custom handler and you won’t be able to disconnect them from the hub without buying a Hue hub/remote later (but you shouldn’t…

I’ll buy it when I want to eat a pint of something cold but there was free food at work that I already ate too much of. It’s an important niche.

Science denier? That’s rich coming from an idiot who can’t understand the basics of photosynthesis. Quit your bullshit.
