The problem with your scenario is “competitive”. You’re describing single player competitive gaming. Few gamers participate solely in such games: single player free for all. You won’t find the relevant skills while players are participating in such games.

However, the overwhelming majority also participate in various forms of cooperative game play. PvE Raid groups. Team-based PVP competition. Air traffic control is a cooperative system, not a competitive one, and it is this aspect of gaming that is relevant here.

The same players who seemingly lack emotional control and maturity while engaged in single-player competition are very often also players who patiently carry newbs through raids and dungeons. This is exactly the behavior we expect from a controller.

A player who engages in the behavior you describe toward his own teammate is a player who doesn’t remain on the team.

I stand by my assertion. Social aptitude and communication are essential skills for modern gamers.

I’m hoping Corporal Couchfucker and the cabinet decide to oust him, but the earliest that would realistically happen is the end of January, after the new Congress is seated and he becomes eligible to run for two full terms himself.

USS Abraham Lincoln departed for a 180-day deployment on November 21st, 2025. That was ~270 days ago, and they are scheduled to remain on station until USS George Washington relieves them later this week.

Normally, the Navy schedules a port call for its carriers every 30-45 days. Lincoln hasn’t had a port call since a one-day stop in Guam back in December.

What Trump is really saying is that ships that had been scheduled to participate in the exercises are being diverted to support the Iran war. The Navy is reducing its presence in the South Pacific and repositioning them in the Indian ocean.

Donnie asked South Korea for help in Iran, and South Korea told him to pound sand.

Social aptitude and Communication are critical skills for online gaming. Your “doubt” is about 20 years out of date.

Let them eat slop.

You don’t need a static IP, you just have to keep track of what your current dynamic IP is.

You still need a public IP address. More and more often, IPv4 services are provided behind CGNAT, which won’t be able to work as you describe.

If you don’t have a public IPv4 for your LAN you can use IPv6. Or, you can reverse proxy your services through a gateway with a public IPv4.

I use a a reverse proxy (Pangolin) running on a VPS. A Newt tunnel connects my LAN to to Pangolin, exposing my local services via subdomains.

/edit; vpns are good and all, but they require you to setup software on the remote device to connect to it, and that typically routes most if not all your traffic back to the vpn server then out to the internet. That can create speed/bandwidth issues.

Tailscale, ZeroTier, and other similar services generally establish direct tunnels between devices, without a separate VPN server. They use a central service merely as a sort of common meeting point (STUN/TURN) for the devices to figure out how to establish direct tunnel(s).

What are you trying to accomplish with that?

I’ve got pangolin running on a VPS. It was dead simple.

They defeated one of the laws in one jurisdiction. The California law is still in place, international laws are still in place, and federal laws are being advanced.

Asymptomatic. Correct. You just agreed with the doctor that she was not displaying symptoms of Hantavirus.

Like the other 95% of asymptomatic people on board, she was already under quarantine. Like all of them, she was already being treated as an asymptomatic carrier.

That’s a very, very good point, but not the one you think it is.

Of the ~240 people aboard the vessel, 100% are experiencing symptoms of “anxiety”, while about 5% have been identified as also experiencing “Hantavirus”.

Everyone aboard is quarantined, and regularly being interviewed by medical personnel to determine if they are symptomatic. Did she initially report virus symptoms along with the anxiety affecting everyone? Or did the virus symptoms appear later?

“Ma’am, even though you have reported no symptoms indicating you have contracted the virus, we’re going to go ahead and say you have it.”

^ much more problematic diagnosis.

What were the specific symptoms she reported to the doctors?

If I go to the doctor and I report “I’m feeling generally nervous and a little scared”, I would expect the doctor to respond “That sounds like anxiety”.

If I report “I’m having a worsening cough, and body aches”, I’d expect “That sounds like a viral infection”.

If I were to report “I had a cough several days ago, but it has disappeared. I’m feeling generally nervous and a little scared”, should the doctor listen to what I am saying and conclude “anxiety”? Or should they focus solely on the symptom I reported in decline and conclude “virus”?

In a socialized economy, unemployment should be a goal. If a worker can be replaced with AI, the employer’s taxes should increase, and UBI should increase.

The economy that demands humans perform work better performed by machines is deeply perverted.

Nothing to apologize for! I wish they wouldn’t be cagey about their actual offerings. I’d recommend them more if I didn’t gain anything from doing so.

Gotcha. I’m doing everything I can to avoid spamming, but that’s kinda hard to do when OP has specifically asked for a service provider…

I know this link will work: https://my.racknerd.com/aff.php?aff=17772&pid=953

That’s for the 2gb/2cpu service I use. From low-end to high-end, pids 952 ($21.99/yr), 953, 954, 955, and 956($119.99/yr) are currently available.

What software should I use to actually do the forwarding/proxying?

I highly recommend Pangolin. It does exactly what you’re looking for: Establishes a tunnel between your home server and the VPS, to proxy services on your home network through the VPS.

It also automatically sets up LetsEncrypt certs for your web services, and provides an optional security layer so only authenticated users can get through the proxy.

You can also do TCP and UDP port forwarding for non-web services.

What’s a good VPS provider for this?

I use Racknerd. You will need an affiliate link to get a good deal. I would not recommend the services they offer directly; the prices are considerably higher. Pangolin’s quick-start guide has affiliate links for three services; I use the 2gb option. They have other options, but we’ll have to move to DMs.

Ah. I think I misunderstood your question.

Where did I say anyone was buying up shares after the event resolved?

When the event resolves, the platform pays out $1 for each share on the winning side. Shares on the losing side are worthless.

If you have a “yes” and a “no” share, you can join them together and sell them to the platform for $1, before the event resolves. You don’t have to wait for the event; you can sell them back at any time.

When you start, there are no shares to buy or sell. For a dollar, the market will sell you a “yes” and a “no” share. When the bet matures, one of those shares will be worth a dollar, and the other will be worth nothing. If you keep both shares, you’ll get your dollar back, nothing more, nothing less.

You think the bet will resolve to “yes”, so you want to sell off your “no” shares. You try to sell them at $0.50, nobody buys. You lower your price to $0.30, and they sell. Now you have $0.30 and a “yes” share that might be worth a dollar in the future.

You see someone is offering to buy “yes” shares for $0.80. If you sell your “yes” share, you’ll end up with $1.10 total.

Suppose after a trading back and forth all day, you find yourself with a “yes” share that you’ve paid $0.40 for. You have a “no” share that you’ve paid $0.30 for. At any time, you can join those two shares together and sell them back to the market for $1.

Half a cybertruck, duh.
