    Not entirely. All cans currently made (at least for the US) have a super thin plastic liner to help the drink avoid taking on too much of a metallic taste.

    There are multiple YouTubes out there that will show you what happens when you dissolve an aluminum can; the dissolution process removes the aluminum and leaves the plastic liner.

    He does this thing where he tries to intimidate people by unexpectedly pulling them during a handshake. She was ready for him, to the point that he had to add in another hand to avoid her pulling him instead.

    Watch Biden’s face following the handshake (it’s right at the beginning of this link).

    She also stepped up when he tried to do that bullying handshake thing. He couldn’t even bully her subtly on the side, so he definitely doesn’t want to face her again.

    I can’t recall offhand. What I will say, though, is that your PS4 is not designed to be a streaming device. It can utilize streaming apps, but that is not its purpose or focus. The apps available on its platform will always be a step behind those for dedicated streaming devices such as Firestick, Roku, Chromecast, AppleTV, or specific streaming apps on a smart TV.

    If you are concerned about data harvesting, you should migrate away from Plex and onto something open source like Jellyfin overall. Once Plex closed their code and pushed towards monetization, they began harvesting data just like any other streaming service. That said, there is no Jellyfin app on PS4, but it is fully accessible through the PS4. Again, however, your PS4 is not really meant to be your all-encompassing streaming platform. A Roku or Firestick is very cheap, it is designed to only stream apps, both of Jellyfin, and Plex if you need to continue on that path, and will provide a far better viewing experience than a PS4.

    Typing this in-between matches and after playing for the last 4 hours: It sucks, but I’m still here 😂

    Honestly though: If you don’t take super serious, it’s fun to play. Every now and then I’ll buy the battle pass because there’s some character skins I want and when I can get a group of friends to play, we always have a blast together.

    People who lose their minds over a Moira who “does too much DPS” or send “tank diff” into the game chat make it annoying to play, and it can get frustrating if you’re a streaming who is trying to rank or something, but just jumping on to have some fun playing in the different roles and getting good at different characters’ kits makes the game remain fun.

    I hadn’t viewed the trailer before that prior comment.

    Judging from that trailer, they likely wouldn’t change anything about Black at all.

    Yeah, ain't no monetizing scheme is gonna save this one.

    This is the key marketing fail. They released an OW clone, and then failed to highlight the differences. I might have thrown $40 at it, if I’d known that there wasn’t going to be a battlepass or something equally asinine to come with that price tag.

    I played through their free weekend beta some time in July and didn’t hate it, but it was clunky and the designs were uglier than OW. That said, I had expected them to clean it up before release; anything except let it stand with its overarching veneer of greyige+olive green over every character.

    I think they just released it to say it was released and be able to do the write-offs. Otherwise, any game that had been in development this long would have seen a huge marketing campaign that highlighted why players should abandon OW, et al for Concord instead.

    I’m down. My Reddit profile even comments on how much I hate their official app.

    Regain can be downright traumatic. That said, the fact that I’ve done it once means that you can do it again.

    You know what to do (CICO), you have the tools (calorie trackers and exercise), and you can remember that sensation of when the weight started really coming off. When it comes to regain, it’s just a matter of not giving up.

    Keep on keeping on!

    I’ve put together The Mass Effect Show, featuring my Leah Shepard. A fair amount of effort has been put into removing many of the “game” elements and make this more cinematic. Weekly “episodes” planned through ME1-3. Any positive feedback is welcome as I’m an *extreme* novice in video editing. Cheers!
