Correct, they do scale the boss HP when solo vs a normal trio game, you also get one guaranteed free revive and shops are guaranteed to sell a revive item. Personally, I'd still rather queue with randoms, but we'll see how that goes when they add duo games. Queue times can already be a bit long sometimes, and I'm a bit concerned that losing duo teams to their own mode will make solo queues even longer and more annoying.

I'll admit I tried talking to a local deepseek about a minor mental health issue one night when I just didn't want to wake up/bother my friends. Broke the AI within about 6 prompts where no matter what I said it would repeat the same answer word-for-word about going for walks and eating better. Honestly, breaking the AI and laughing at it did more for my mental health than anything anyone could have said, but I'm an AI hater. I wouldn't recommend anyone in real need use AI for mental health advice.

As someone who was in Christian Schools/Home-School for my entire education, this is lowkey the real reason. Most won't (openly) admit it, but the whole Christian school movement was a response to desegregation. Eventually the reasons would grow into "we don't want our kids being taught Evolution" and now "we don't want our kids learning that LGBT exist" but the original reason was desegregation and racism.

As someone who has casually considered running for office in South Carolina (because our local representative is an incompetent buffoon, and while I don't consider myself qualified to run, I know I could do a better job), I kinda agree. If you want your representatives to be normal people, and understand what reality is like, then you really need to pay them at least a somewhat liveable wage, because as it stands, the only people who can afford to do the job are those who are basically independently wealthy, own a car dealership or some other business that basically runs itself, or are retired. I'm not saying politicians should be making boatloads of money. But their pay should also be a liveable wage for the area they represent.

Considering Eric Adams already is running as an independent, Cuomo is more likely to siphon votes away from him. Although I think it will be ranked choice anyway, so "splitting" the vote won't really matter.

It's funny to imagine how much the War Thunder community could have gotten in exchange for a sponsor deal.

I think hams are still the most likely people to track down and get illegal stations shut down. At what point do we say, "nah, don't care who you sold our frequencies to, this is our bit of spectrum and we're not moving."
