@Gougeon 1st MRB I don't play HLL but I have had this same time out issues with DODS. What resolved the issue for me was restarting the router and modem. You can also try entering"ipconfig/flushdns" and "ipconfig/release" and ipconfig/renew" in your cmd prompt. Good luck Gougeon, hope it helps.

Yerrrrr congrats guys!

Here is a link to an interesting interview on how the use of selective language in the ca bill (AB2223) leaves room for misinterpretation and loopholes. "SEC. 7. Section 123467 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read: 123467. (a) Notwithstanding any other law, a person shall not be subject to civil or criminal liability or penalty, or otherwise deprived of their rights under this article, based on their actions or omissions with respect to their pregnancy or actual, potential, or alleged pregnancy outcome, including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, or perinatal death due to causes that occurred in utero." It seems to me like they are testing the waters, toeing the line to see what they can get away with. I think that public pushback and scrutiny is warranted.

Thank you all for your input. I appreciate hearing all the different perspectives and related topics. Heres a link to the statements made by Northam in case anyone missed it.

We see you lurking friends. Feel free to post your thoughts on this matter.

I have heard an argument like this with regards to homosexualism being natures way of maintaining equilibrium since there is no natural procreation in homosexual couples. I would be skeptical of any depopulation schemes.

Like a form of depopulation, I see, akin to euthanasia.

Like a form of euthanasia, I see.

Looking to start some civil and well constructed political discourse. Are you in favor of legalizing post birth abortion? Abortion after live birth seems to be infanticide to me. A W. VA or VA governor made statements a whie back to the effect of being in favor of with holding care of a newborn if the mother decides she doesnt want the baby. This would mean allowing the baby to die by with holding any life saving measures. A few states appear to be moving forward with post birth abortions, such as possibly California through AB2223. What are your thoughts on post live birth abortion?

Good read. These newsletters just keep getting better and better. Thanks.

"X member of x group did bad, therefore, all members of x group are bad" That kind of logic/argument is flawed bro. Hatred and intolerance is not cool bro bro. There was never a "triggered" and there was never a need to "settle" anything. More importantly, the SCOTUS decision was not about religious morality my man, thats the whole point. It was a question of constitutionality. The SCOTUS decision is not imposing religious morality on anyone. Furthermore, if a majority of American people really wanted to they could pass an amendment to the constituion. "The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives."

All religions have their set of values and beliefs. It is our choice whether to share or not share these values and beliefs. Attacking religious groups and using them as scapegoats because their values and beliefs do not align with ours is absolute idiocy. Hasty generalizations of religious groups only lead us down the path of intolerance, bigotry and hatred. Making these incendiary statements only create further hate and encourage violent extremist groups to attack churches. These statements do not provide any real solutions. Attacking religion because their revered scriptures speak plainly against its members engaging in homosexualism, abortion, and other activities is abhorrent. I believe that the SCOTUS came to this decision after much deliberation, and it was not a decision made solely because of "religion." I don't think that the SCOTUS operates under a "hey let's fuck over the American people" mindset, quite the contrary, I believe that the SCOTUS has the best interest of this nation and its people in mind when making any decisions. The natives had their own religious beliefs violently suppressed and mostly erased by the European invaders in the name of Christianity. This is a fact and trying to claim the moral high ground and shifting the blame by attacking only the bad "Catholics" is not correct. If we were to be honest with one another, it was Europeans who came to this continent to rape, murder, pillage, spread disease, and steal the lands in the name of their Religion, King, and Country. The Mayas revered pregnant women and also children. This is in stark contrast to medieval Europe where monarchies would let baby girls sit outside the castle walls and die because they were not deemed a "suitable heir." Attacking religious groups because they don't condone activities one may condone such as: homosexualism, adultery, abortion, among other activities is messed up bro. Respect needs to go both ways. People should be free to live their lives and to worship as they seem fit without having to be attacked, ostracized, or scapegoated by others.

First off, it is of utmost importance for all Americans to be able to respect each other's opinions, even if we don't agree on all of them. For those that may say that this was a secret plot by "republican evangelists," I would like to remind you that this country was indeed founded by people with Christian values and ideals. Even then, the constitution provides safeguards for your right to worship as you would, or not to worship at all. The SCOTUS was populated by a liberal majority for a really long time, and we can clearly see the effects of it in our society, for good or for bad. Now that the SCOTUS is populated by a conservative majority, these decisions should come as no surprise to anyone, and no one should target specific groups of people for slander or malicious accusations based on personal opinions or values. I am pro-life and I believe that human life begins at conception. Some may disagree. This belief does not make me a good or a bad person. It is simply my belief. People that are having consensual coitus without the use of contraceptives should know that it may result in pregnancy. The responsibility falls onto both partners engaging in consensual coitus to know that the possibility of pregnancy is present. There are many ways to prevent a pregnancy. If a pregnancy is not actively desired, contraceptives can be used to reduce the risk of pregnancy. Abortion is not the only way. However, I believe legislation should be enacted to guide our society when it comes to any instances of rape, incest, danger to mother, and or danger to the unborn baby. It seems to me like it will be up to the states to legislate on this matter. So have your voice heard. Get involved. Contact your legislators, be active and further your opinion through as many lawful ways as you'd like to. Also, let us not become so polarized as a people so as to not be able to speak courteously on civil matters, even though there are some OUTSIDERS (non-Americans) that would encourage such divisions within our society.

Brodie, I am no expert, but it might be worthwhile to look into the status of the retainer clips on each one of those keys. They tend to go out after a while and some are easily and inexpensively replaced. They run for like 5 bucks on ebay just make sure it will fit your model. Also, check out youtube to see how to remove the key and retainer clip. Good luck brodie!

Yerrr congrats! West with the knife contest?

Putin's Rasputin Urges Russia to Arm Cuba in Echo of Kennedy Missile Crisis (msn.com)

"" Name: Desert Punk Buck [LC] Steam I.D: [U:1:86972041] Reasons for the Ban: The player began harrassing a known juvenile player in the server by the name of "billy bones" by asking him "hey billy do you know what a hooker is?" Goose warned him against it and then he proceeds "its a lady that you pay for a good time, everyone knows what a hooker is." At this point I warned him in no uncertain terms in voice chat against such behavior. The player billy bones left shortly after these comments were made by buck. Recommended duration of ban/mute: At MP's discretion Demo Provided?: Goose and Cpl. Faraj where in the server at the time.

The issue was resolved by restarting the modem (Kevinsen's advice.) Thanks.

Greetings, I have been having issues with dods where the game times out and then ultimately disconnects giving me the message "lost connection to server." I mostly play in the 1st MRB servers and I have noticed issues on both servers. Any help is appreciated.

I think that if the west intended to support Ukraine they should have made it clear to the Russians that the west was protecting Ukrainian sovereignty against Russian encroachment. Rather than waiting for the Russians to invade and make threats of nuclear war to any would be helpers, the west could have made it clear initially that an attack against Ukraine would be met with a forceful response for example no fly zone and or ramped up military assistance. Let Zelensky tell you all about it. Russians saw weakness in our posturing and went for it, all in, balls deep. They are now making cowardly threats of nuclear war so they won't get their asses kicked by the superior armed forces of the west in a conventional war. I don't think appeasement of Russia would be beneficial . Isolationism by the west may signal weakness or worse cowardice, leading to wider abuse and violations of the rules based order by Russia. It does seem that there is some civil unrest in Russia but dissidents are being murdered, arrested and jailed. It is reminiscent of the "Great Terror" years of the 1930's; looks like putin taking a play from stalin playbook.

Yerrrrrr awesome read keep up the good work!
