There was a recent discussion yesterday that popped off about this topic from u/Adventurous_Top_4033 and it got me to thinking. I see people claiming the galaxy would be safe and peaceful long after the cure is distributed. Somehow the Council will maintain order, the Krogan will be peaceful, their planets will remain demilitarized, and everyone will live happily ever after.

I think the writers made a serious error in reframing the morality of the genophage from ME2 onward. Mordin shows massive regret, and is willing to sacrifice everything to cure them, ignoring the necessity of why it was done to begin with.

So I decided to do a little bit of a thought experiment. Imagine

I'm not jumping on the hate wagon for Niobe entirely. I understand that Vorenus was basically confirmed killed, and the paymaster stopped paying Niobe. I understand that the brother-in-law may have aggressively pursued her. However, she was still a willing participate and wasn't raped.

After Vorenus returns, they don't get along very well. She's disrespectful toward him, not at all welcoming, and this is picked up on by Vorenus. It didn't help that he first sees her with a newborn baby and accused her of cheating, but, uh, he was technically correct. Even after apologizing for being correct, she takes forever to give him his due back from the wars.

r/UNIFI•

Around 1am last night my AT&T BGW320-500 stopped communicating with my UniFi system. The USP Plug was stuck in a loop of constantly resetting the ATT Modem. I couldn't figure out what the problem was, so I removed the USP-Plug.

The UDM-SE shows no IP on the screen, and no internet connection.

I have the ATT Router connected to the back of my USP PDU Pro. The PDU connects to the 10g port in my UDM. My UDM connects to the 10g port on my USW Pro 48 PoE. Two separate U6 Pros and a USW Flex Mini connect to the PoE, which then connect to the UDM. The Pro 48 PoE connects to the 10g port on the NVR Pro.

I tested the cables from the Modem to the PDU and UDM. They're showing all good. I took new ca

Now that PayPal Mastercard is discontinuing their 2% cash back program, I was looking into getting the Sofi 2% card. I wasn't approved, and I'm having a hard time understanding what it takes.

My credit score is over 800. Income is over 200k annually. I do have a 30 year mortgage in the $3700/mo range. I currently use 4 different credit cards, being PayPal Mastercard, Capital One, American Express, and HEB visa. All 4 cards have a credit limit between $20,000 and $30,000. Utilization is always below 1%.

I was denied for 2 listed reasons. First reason being excessive credit utilization. The second being insufficient credit activity. My utilization is always low, and my activity goes back ma

Indoor Railing

Structural Analysis/Design

I don’t know if this post violates any rules, or if it will just annoy the regulars who will say "go hire an engineer", but I would very much appreciate it if anyone could weigh in on something. It may or may not be ridiculous of me to even ask this as it's totally safe and fine. If it's not, then I'm not sure how I will find an engineer, but I'll try that. First though, I'd love an opinion.

I have a new construction multi-floor building, and I take care of disabled pets. Many of the pets are cats who have suffered injuries or strokes that result in coordination problems. I've had some close calls on the indoor balcony already, and so I ordered glass railing to go on top of the balcony wal

I moved into a newly built home that I need security and camera complete coverage on. There is approximately 4300 square feet of area that needs to be covered in the physical house, and then of course full exterior coverage.

The house was pre-wired with contacts on every window/door, CO and smoke alarms, and it all comes to a panel built into a wall centrally located. Right now the wires are just hanging there.

I want to avoid all scams such as ADT and Vivent. I have had Ring before while renting, and I know for a fact that various people have unrestricted access to your videos. My wife, however, prefers notifications on her phone to see our kids/pets, and to know when someone approaches t

I just finished the audio book an hour ago, and I can't help but get some things off my chest. This is all a bit off the top of my head, but I'm just gonna go with it. Spoilers are hidden.

So... First off, I am a Galaxy's Edge long-time insider subscriber. I've listened to every book up to KTF 1 and 2 at least 4 or more times. I love the world building and the intricate stories they've woven. However, this book represents a major departure from their modus operandi. I lost count how many times I said, "Wait, what? What did I miss? What happened?", just to rewind and realize entire segments were just not there. This story was as if they had a storyboard outline for the conclusion of all thes
