I checked it out from my local library via Libby and I’m enjoying it. Cats seem to be getting overlooked, but the birds are great.

Unusual origin for the apocalypse, and it’s definitely one of the more interesting origins I’ve seen for zombie viruses.

Regulations require specific colours for specific indicators.

Now where’s my warships?

It’s been a while since I’ve played that. But yes, it’s helpful to see a graphical representation of where noisy things are, as I’m completely deaf in my left ear and can’t locate sounds.

Hard of hearing also. It’s so frustrating that text signs that list announcements are so rare.

Captions on television/movies and games are commonplace, but in the real world, very few places care.

Might be because I’m in a red state for a few more years due to family; blue states likely tend to be more aware of issues like ours.

I did see written callouts of upcoming tram stops once, but I can’t recall which airport. It may have been ORD.

The marque is actually named for the daughter of the trademark registrar, Mercédès Adrienne Ramona Manuela Jellinek.

Some keyboards also come with software that lets you disable or remap keys. I turned Caps Lock into something more useful to me, for instance.

They and Tesla are the holdouts. GM only recently killed phone mirroring but those two never had it.

I will not buy from any of them.

That doesn’t really make sense considering it’s a charging standard and the entire point of a standard is to avoid problems like this. Hopefully it just means I need a software update for the car.

Which VW has been very silent about. I’d feel better if they explained what the issue is and what needs to be done to fix it, even if they say it will take time to fix.

It doesn’t work right. I have an ID.4 and even though my local charger is listed on the Tesla site as being CCS compatible with an adapter, selecting my car and claiming I have an adapter still fails to make the site show up in the listings.

The car has a CCS port and has been tested to work with the magic dock by testers, so it’s compatible. The app needs work.

VW is strangely silent on this, which is making me think that my next car will not be a VW. That, and Ford got Apple Maps EV routing working and I still can’t get it to see my car.

Naval aviation is the general term for what you’re thinking of, and is the term used in the United States. In the UK, carrier pilots are part of the Fleet Air Arm.

This is how I did it, using my Mac laptop. You can’t do it with the phone app, but a Mac or Windows computer can.

I’m really looking forward to getting rid of a lot of bag clutter. It’ll also be nice to trade in the lower crests that I can no longer use.

 

I want all the raptorcats.

 

Of all the dungeons that we'll see as keys for Season 3, I'm looking forward to seeing what Waycrest Manor is like.

 

Season 3 is launching on the 14th of November with the Amirdrassil raid and the new Mythic+ rotation.

Wowhead has an overview here.

 

We’ll choose a name for her over the next day or two.

 

As an evoker player (though not Augmentation yet), it's definitely frustrating to see that Augmentation players are getting kicked from groups for, supposedly, doing low DPS.

Support specs are new to WoW, so it's not surprising that there's no simple way to see how they contribute. But is it really fair to depend on a damage meter rather than the overall performance of the group? I've never felt as though damage meters really were as useful as many people make them seem.

An analogy that might help here: Augmentation evokers are force multipliers -- in military terms, that's a unit or soldier who makes others more effective. For instance, a forward air controller who calls in targets for ground-attack aircraft to hit. That FAC isn't going to do any damage on their own, but the aircraft they bring in wouldn't be able to damage its target without the FAC's assistance. The crew of that plane are vital, yes, but so are the people who tell them where to go.

And, going back to WoW figuring out how to properly track augmentation evokers' contributions to the battle is going to take add-on authors a while. Details is starting to try to make it happen, but for now the results aren't very accurate. But adapting to any new system, any new technology, takes time.

So if you see that small (for now) DPS bar in your damage meter addon, think twice before trying to boot a player who is trying their best to help you do your job better. Chances are that they're doing just fine. It's just a problem with how to measure the help they are giving you.

 

I’m personally looking forward to seeing Velen’s new prophecy.

 

This is definitely helpful in accessibility terms. I sometimes can't quite always make out a call to go somewhere or do something. I'm looking forward to see what this feature turns out to be capable of doing and how it works.

 

As a preservation evoker main, I'm looking forward to trying Augmentation to see what it's like, though I'm most likely going to continue to main Preservation.
