Also old people. So many old people sending links to lies and bullshit.

Steam up the windows/mirrors and write something. It’s only visible when the room steams up again.

“Help,” “I’m sorry,” “I miss you,” etc.

I also used to buy wall decals. You can buy Mario themed ones or whatever and leave them inside cabinets, behind doors, etc. The right kind comes off without leaving any residue.

Touch and hold a clip to pin it. Unpinned clips will be deleted after 1 hour.Touch and hold a clip to pin it. Unpinned clips will be deleted after 1 hour.

The crate is the dog’s safe space, not a punishment. If I need my dog to be in her crate, I reward her when she goes inside.

There are also hand motions to go with common commands like ‘sit’. I’ve found this makes it easier for a dog to understand me.

Oh no, you couldn’t possibly take out all of the AI data centers. That would be so awful for the shareholders.

Better general medical science. So much of what we use is very old tech. We still can’t regrow cartligage. We still pin bones together with titanium screws. We still mostly use fiberglass casts (though better alternatives exist). We still catch the common cold.

Yeah, I have a retro device that I spent hours configuring. When I finally had everything working… something got corrupted and I had to start over. I have not had the energy to try again.

I would vastly prefer a preconfigured setup.

Hated the ending. I thought the game was finally about to get good, then it was the end, and a bad one.

Yeah, the EV range is frustrating.

270 miles? Pretty good. Except you shouldn’t drive it below 20% or above 80%, so really the range is like 170. Cold winter? Now it’s like 75.

No regrets on our EV, but I would feel a whole more more comfortable with 2x the capacity.

Too bad we can’t buy BYD here.

Shop used right now to take advantage. Low mileage EV’s are crazy cheap. We saw ‘used’ vehicles with less than 30 (not thousand) miles for half off, straight from the dealer, full warranty. Much cheaper than a combustion counterpart.

At the price we paid, even if the car is worth $0 at the end of five years, we’ll have done alright.

I have one machine in Linux and another in Windows. I’ve also made bootable persistent thumb drives to save myself any accidents creating a dual boot. That way I can run Linux for daily stuff, and Windows when I’m too incompetent to figure out a workaround for a game or whatever.

Windows needs to be rebooted all the time anyway, so it’s not really that big of a deal to boot into something else now and then. Plus it gives you a little change of pace.

Wow. That is really dark.

Like the U.S.?

Aside from the config this looks cool

I bought a Retroid 3+ a while ago. It was an interesting experiment, but ultimately a pain in the ass to configure.

Ideally I just want to select a rom or game and play. I really don’t enjoy spending hours in settings and tweaking every detail to get a have to run decently. I don’t need AAA, but GameCube and PS2 would be cool.

Is that a thing? Or am I doomed to hangout in RetroArch settings?

Same. For whatever reason Jellyfin just does not want to work outside of my network. I have fiddled with port numbers, settings, and everything else. I have no idea why it won’t work.

Does it get noticable hot?

Yeah, it was an impulse buy that worked out for a few years. Now that I need to replace it, I’m sure there are better options. Carhartt makes good stuff. I’ll check them out.

I wear under layers if I know that I’ll be out for long, thermals and what not. Heated feels pretty nice though.

I recently tried duo lingo. I have a pretty strong background in Spanish, but want to brush up. It became apparent very quickly that the app is not about learning so much as keeping you in it. The lessons don’t make a ton of sense, and after not using app for a week, it demoted me to just 8 words that you would learn in your first class (hombre, el, agua, tu, etc.). There is no way to skip ahead.

In addition to dual booting, you can create a persistent USB drive. It’s a little tedious, but kind of a cool way to give your setup a spin.

I think you need Rufus to format the drive, to set up the USB drive so it doesn’t refresh when you reboot. I’m sure there are speed implications, but I’ve actually found it snappy enough for basic stuff once it loads. It’s a cool way to try different distros. I have a handful lying around. I still preferred mint in the end.
