  1. If they weren't oppressed by a dictator supported by the US government or any other government, if the bosses didn't loot their country's wealth while turning the fertile soils into deserts through the intensive monocultures filled with pesticides many persons woud stay in their country istead of immigrating to the US or anywhere else. So they immigrate to the very country they blame for all their problems? In what world does that make any sense at all?
  2. I think we can all agree that covid is out there, it is spreading, and that it can kill...... To deny it, is just a bit disingenuous....... The news is filled with it, from both sides. (and rarely do they all agree on anything at all, even what color grass is...) As for 'prevention measures', staying away from everyone else is likely the most effective. If you aren't near anyone that is infected, then you are not real likely to contract it. Right? Now, avoiding ALL human interaction would be difficult, if not impossible..... at least, not for months on end. (unless you wanna do subsistence living out the woods, or some such.) Not to mention that some human interaction is required for our society to continue operating..... Wearing a mask? Just is still out on that one. It sure can't hurt though..... I keep seeing different opinions on gloves though... Some claim they help, others claim they don't, still others claim they actually INCREASE your odds of contracting it.... Seems odd, but, I haven't dug too far into that one.... At this point, we are still pretty much in the early stages of the pandemic. We won't know the true cost for some time yet. If we don't find a vaccine, we will continue paying the cost until the virus dies out naturally. Or, we will be stuck with it for the foreseeable future.... I don't recall seeing anything at all about a preventative measure that was truly effective. (aside from hiding at home, and not seeing anyone....) I saw a lot of rumors, and then I saw a lot of articles claiming it was misinformation. (and Trump REALLY isn't helping on that front.....) I also hear rumors of various companies selling vaccines...... Yet I haven't seen anything at all about their effectiveness, or even what testing they have gone thru. Folks seem to be spending huge piles of money on it though.... (well, governments, and corporations.....) What's the truth? I sure don't know. Not like I trust ANY of the mainstream media outlets........
  3. Place Everywhere shouldn't have anything to do with it...... It's only really active when you are in build mode. I would more suspect there is a conflict between it, and one of your other FOSE plugins.
  4. Ask yourself why we aren't stopping the spread. It's not because quarantines don't work, it's because we waited way to late to start quarantining. The president you elected, decided that instead of quarantining all of the countries that were affected by Covid, he was only going to quarantine China, for basically political reasons. That came back to bite us because as it turns out most of the spreading in America came from those returning from or touring from Europe. Then in month between banning Europe after banning China we did absolutely nothing, implemented no quarantines, and just let it spread. The whole point of an effective quarantine is to do it ASAP and be strict about. It's effectiveness is only as good as its implementation. We implemented it poorly and thus it isn't working out well. But here's the cool thing, we can see the data for this stuff in real time, and you know what that data shows us. States that practiced heavier and stricter quarantine and lockdowns ended up reducing both the spread and cases of the disease. Like, just read the news and follow the data, everything you need to know about how effective quarantine and lockdown is can be inferred from there. About your second point, yes. That's the unfortunate side effect of a global pandemic, people and businesses are going to suffer. But you know what? Recovery is going to happen, it's a given. Will it take time? Yes. Will some people be left worst off financially than before? Yes. But economies can be fixed, you know what's permanent? Death. You're also acting like the unemployment extras are going to continue after Covid is no longer considered a pandemic and people are are able to get back to work. It's not a permanent thing, it's a temporary solution to people unable to work or fired during a national pandemic so that they can still provide for their families. Acting like people are suddenly not going to want to continue working just because they are collecting unemployment is a disingenuous argument with no data backing it up. The whole reason that extra money was given is because typical unemployment benefits received were way to low to help people affected by the pandemic. So yes, in some cases people are going to make more money than they did in their regular jobs, but this PUA is temporary, it was going to end in July but got extended to January (I think), these people aren't going to be able to rely on it forever. But just taking it away will probably have a higher negative impact on the economy than keeping it going a while longer. And I haven't heard the fat lady sing yet. We are still right in the middle of the pandemic. Sure, quarantines SLOW the spread of the disease, but, will never STOP it. The disease isn't going to go away either. When quarantine is lifted/relaxed, we are going to see the numbers go up again. We still don't have a vaccine. In the end, the same number of folks are going to be infected. By slowing the spread, we *might* save a few lives.... but, that is one of those things we will never be able to measure. Trump is talking about signing an order to extend the unemployment benefits thru the end of the year. Then what? We are still going to be in the midst of the pandemic, and folks still won't be going back to work. Will they get extended again? And once the quarantine is lifted, how many of those folks are actually going to have jobs to go back to? The current unemployment rate is north of 13%.... which is significantly higher than it was during 'the great recession of 07-09... (10.6%) Do I have a solution? Nope. Should we drop the quarantine now, and try and save what's left of our economy? Probably not a good idea..... So, where does that leave us? Essentially, we get to look forward to a recovery from a downturn worse than the great recession. Once some of the measures preventing banks/landlords from filing on all those folks that haven't been paying rent/mortgage payments....... things are going to get even worse.... It will make the bursting of the housing bubble back in 08 look like a party in the park. (hopefully, everyone will be wearing their masks......) Yep. It's gonna suck. It will likely take years to recover, and that assumes we don't get another round of covid. (we REALLY need a vaccine....) So, prepare now, and be ready for what we KNOW is coming.
  5. your memory configuration seems to be suboptimal. for full speed you need a pair of same sized and compatible memory banks. but even with this configuration sse will run at least in fullhd Gotta agree with this assessment. Go for two 8 gig sticks.
  6. Yes, it will run the game quite well, if you want it to run even better, opt for a larger NVME drive, and install your games there as well. (just, NOT in the Program Files folders......) NVME are SCREAMIN' fast. :D In Oldrim, there are virtually NO loading screens on interior/exterior switch, it happens in just a few seconds. It's awesome. I wish I could same the same for FO4...... but, it just can't seem to manage it.
  7. But we HAVEN'T stopped it from spreading. The numbers are still off the board. I note that the republican convention was blames for a spike in numbers, but, no one talks about what is happening after all the protest marches. Isn't that interesting. We CAN'T stop the spread. We can slow it down some, and that's it. And maybe not even that........ We are still going to end up with the same number of infections. We *might* reduce the body count some, but, that is the best we can hope for. The whole idea behind the quarantine/lockdown/whathaveyou was to SLOW the spread, so hospitals weren't overwhelmed with patients all at once. Currently, we don't have a vaccine, so, slowing the spread is ALL we can do. Of course, by doing so, we are doing horrid things to our economy...... there are going to be a large number of businesses that simply don't re-open when all is said and done. Recovery is going to take YEARS. Not to mention what it's doing to the national debt....... Although, I really didn't see the point of giving everyone on unemployment an extra 600 bucks a WEEK.... For a significant percentage of them, they are making more on unemployment, than they were when they were working.... What motivation are they going to have to actually go back to work, once the opportunity presents itself? Heck, I don't make 2400 dollars a month...... I would LOVE to be able to collect unemployment. (my job was considered 'essential', so, I still have work once in a while. But, I was part time anyway, so, I don't think I qualified. ) For what it's worth, I don't think Donnie is very bright, or very presidential either. I still liked him better than Hilary........ and that is the ONLY reason I voted for him. But, folks here seem to only believe in black and white. You either hate him with every fiber of your being, or, you are a 'worshiper'..... No middle ground at all. One of the reasons that 'debates' here, never turn out well.
  8. Windows 10 is spyware masquerading as an operating system. :) It serves a secondary purpose as adware, if you leave all the MS bloatware intact. (advertisements in the start menu? Seriously??) I REALLY don't care for MS just shoving their stupid games onto me either. Candy crush? C'mon MS, if I want your software, I will go looking for it, do NOT force it on me.
  9. If you read what I actually wrote, instead of interpreting it with your "Dem Goggles", that automatically assumes that I 200% support everything trump does, and believes he can do no wrong....... Maybe we could actually have a discussion here. But no. You need to read your liberal talking points into everything I type, it's actually pointless to continue. So, I'm not going to.
  10. It really doesn't matter who is in the whitehouse. This particular virus kills people, regardless of their political affiliation. Woodrow Wilson (a democrat) was president when the spanish flu took a bite out of the population. In two waves. And in all reality, Trump could have locked down the entire country, told everyone to stay at home, disallowed any travel, or social gatherings, and what would have been the result? The virus would have been contained, until the lockdown was lifted.... and then it would spread, just like it is now. Lockdowns, social distancing, etc, aren't really going to make that much difference in the long run. The disease isn't going to magically disappear, it is going to run it's course, regardless. The only thing we are changing is the timeline. We are simply delaying the inevitable. That's it.
  11. The first reported cases were in Wuhan China. There were no other reported cases for some time thereafter. Isn't it a reasonable assumption that it originated there?? i assume you want to say that there were no other widespread cases identified as the first covid 19 in wuhan so far. what does this say about the origin and probably some not reported cases of the virus and the very first infection ? at least this was the reason why the official wording is not wuhan or china virus. ignoring that for political reasons or for reelection purposes is just embarassing! maybe or even probably nobody has noticed the first human infection because of minor symptoms. thinking crude like trump i can just assume that an us resident in wuhan was the first one spreading it to the wuhan population - who knows - you ? trump? and why not ? seems you are sure like trump what you are talking about ? i recommend what scientists worldwide write and not what trump or other ignorant chatterer assume. so why ignoring the offcial wording 'covid 19' ? just to show to be ignorant as so many blinded trump and right wing follower in the u.s.? Wow. You really have it in for Trump, and anyone that might even remotely prefer him to what the Dems have to offer....... There is likely a 12 step program for the irrational hatred you show here..... Well, lets think about this a bit. A virus likes to spread, there weren't ANY widespread cases reported before Wuhan. It is a simple matter to look at the spread of the disease, and see that the epicenter of the infection was indeed Wuhan China. So, your supposition that it originated elsewhere has zero evidence, or even logic, to support it.
  12. The way I did it in oblivion, it was just an inventory item. (though, could still be a worn item if FO4) To access its inventory, you had to drop it, then activate it on the ground, THAT would give you a menu to either pick it up, or, access it's inventory. It's inventory was NOT accessible while worn. (in the players inventory) When you picked it up, it would calculate the weight of the items in it, and then assign a percentage of that weight to the item you picked up. (it was zero weight when empty.....)
  13. The first reported cases were in Wuhan China. There were no other reported cases for some time thereafter. Isn't it a reasonable assumption that it originated there?? And then we have.... It originated in bats. Now, I see articles saying it didn't, but, don't offer any other theories. (aside from a bio-warfare lab.......) This is probably one of those things we will never discover. My main concern is that we find a vaccine for it, and have it go the way of polio, or smallpox..... But then I hear that it easily mutates, much like the flu.... so, the vaccine may be effective against one strain, but, not against others. Another story goes that we will eventually build up 'herd immunity', and the virus will die out from a lack of suitable hosts. Of course, we are still seeing infection rights climbing, right along with the body count. From the numbers I have found, it seems to be somewhat worse than the spanish flu from the post WWI era, but, medical science has advanced quite a bit since then, so it may actually be MUCH worse. Something we won't know until this is all history. (and likely not for several years afterwards.)
  14. There is likely an overlay .swf file (I think) for VATS, that was causing it. With archive invalidation, even if you deactivate the mod that installed it, the game will still use the newer file.....
  15. Place Everywhere makes building a breeze. You never see the red outline. Ever.
  16. Are you trying to target them in VATS? Maybe it's a menu problem...
  17. I think the scripts are applied to the projectile...... which is likely a property of the ammo...... :)
  18. Laptop likely doesn't have any place to put a second harddrive..... That said, upgrading to a solid state drive makes a MAJOR difference in performance, especially for programs that hit the harddrive heavily. (the CK, and pretty much every beth game springs immediately to mind......) If you just want to upgrade what you have, any decent computer shop should be able to clone your current harddrive, to an SSD. As it is a direct copy, nothing on the system changes, it just runs a LOT faster. I know we do this at work on a regular basis. We don't even stock mechanical harddrives any more.... as SSD's have gotten dirt cheap.
  19. technically I should be able to download at 12mb/s , and that has never happened around here. Yeah, and there are a lot of reasons you will never see those speeds. Most of which, Nexus has zero control over. I have a 15mb/s connection here at home, (yeah, slow by a lot of folks standards these days.....) but, the only time I see those speeds, is when I am doing a speed test....... For the most part, no matter where I am downloading from, if I see anything over 1.5mb/s, I consider myself doing good..... It isn't necessarily Nexus, or your ISP that is the problem either, it's everyone in between... Some folks purposely limit speeds on certain types of traffic...... according to theory, that isn't legal, but, it's done anyway. WHEN you download is also a factor..... if the servers are really busy, you get slow speeds.... if the servers have very little traffic, your speed is better. Tracking down these problems is just so much fun.... :smile: There is a 'troubleshooting guide' around here somewhere for download issues. (as they seem to be kinda common.....) I'm not quite sure what is at play here, but i get my moneys worth on both steam, origin, uplay, rockstar launcher, and so on. A direct download through google will even sometimes top out at 14mb/s. May wanna have a read here, and see if anything shakes loose.

  21. Most I imagine are fleeing communism / Socialism. What you dishonestly present as socialism is marxism-leninism, an ideology based on the concentration of powers like the right-wing fascist culture. What's more like I already explained in my other posts all the things the dictators need to make a coup d'état or a purge are the police, the army, the control of the justice and of the medias. In other words no dictator never made any coup d'état by creating a welfare-state or any purge by nationalizing a company. And the marxist-leninist dictatorships are fortunately very rare nowadays, most immigrants run away from dictators oftenly friends with the american government and from the slaver bosses (notably the american ones) who are looting the natural resources of the 3rd world. Ok, so the immigrants are fleeing the 'evil american bosses' to come to..... America..... Yeah, that makes perfect sense........ Maybe...... Ok, it doesn't. In fact, that simply defies logic. In the USA the american bosses (like all the other bosses by the way) can't take advantage of their workers as they do in the 3rd-world because nothing forces that heap of right-wing/fascist psychopaths to apply their country's work-related laws abroad so yes my statement perfectly makes sense, unless it's too complicated for your old brainwashed right-wing mind. You obviously aren't paying attention then..... Employers still take advantage of employees, especially the illegal immigrants they hire. Not that I expect that you will every concede any point at all. You call me 'brain-washed', but, all I see from you is ultra-left wing rhetoric, that you apparently totally believe. Have you ever even been to america???? My guess would be no..... You would likely fit right in in southern california.... in the rest of the country, that would look at you funny, and start backing away.... making sure not to turn their backs to you, till they were a good distance off....... Just like they do with any other rabid fanatic, regardless of ideology.
  22. I remember writing scripts for backpacks in oblivion....... but, I am certain that I didn't release the mod..... I simply don't recall if I just used them myself, or if I was working with someone else, and it was released under their name......... I suspect it was something that I used, and never released...... But, scripting in oblivion was easier (too me) than what we have now in skyrim/fo4...... I learned scripting originally back in the Morrowind days, but, when beth changed to using papyrus..... Never bothered to learn it.
