Of course not, they are owed this because of oppression or something. Fuck.

It is definitely a reference and I don’t know why you got downvoted for that lol.

Get rid of smartphones entirely.

So much for all those studio purchases. What a waste.

You’re in the wrong sub.

Yes, look on their website for compatible models, there’s a handful of affordable ones, many which perform better on higher tier connections too. Been using my own modems with Comcast for 25 years.

You didn’t list the hardware or what the temps used to be before this. Assuming it’s a recent increase from sane normals, your best course of action is to move the system, give it a thorough cleaning, and change the thermal interface material. Underclock / undervolt is a temporary solution as inadequate heat dissipation can still occur even if the temps appear normal, degradation will continue.

You won’t brick the computer by moving it and changing the thermal paste. If you’re not confident enough, just watch a video or two online about how to handle the system, I bet there’s videos of your specific hardware out there. You’re more likely to incorrectly configure the hardware via software controls than you are to damage it by swapping the thermal paste.

Gosh you’re totally right about BG3… how did I blank on that!

I’m still gonna argue Skyrim being so good because it was obvious to me how much passion went into from those that worked on it. I’ll readily admit my bias though, given I came from hundreds of hours of morrowind and oblivion before it.

The Persona series comes to mind. But probably more than anything Witcher 3, Skyrim, Disco Elysium, Stardew Valley, No Man’s Sky, Nier Replicant/Automata, Metal Gear Solid 3, there’s actually quite a few imo.

Edit: oh and dwarf fortress!

Just add your own context menu shortcut for .deb files that runs sudo deb -i $_

Tab unload is neat I guess but it would be nice if it also prevented the tab from loading until you go to it. I often open a bunch of YouTube links in a row, to catch up on my daily channels. So I have 4-8gb of useless browser tabs sitting waiting for me to get to them because I started on my subscriptions page and middle-clicked the last day’s or so worth of videos. It’s not much more work to finish that step and add an extra step to unload all those newly opened tabs, but it would be a nice option to not load new tabs until they’re activated since they already open in the background.

Maybe there’s a config for it somewhere.

I’m in lesbians with you.

I was taught that bat shit (guano) is toxic to humans in ways that can make the person “go crazy” before they die. Similar to mercury poisoning and being a “mad hatter” from the days of mercury lined headwear.

Yeah, soft serve is just frozen sugar milk, comes in cartons like regular milk and you can totally just drink it, tastes a bit like whole milk but clearly with an unhealthy amount of sugar in it.

They first started selling hamburgers in 1958.

The wiki has all the info you need.

Litter box math is important. Very simple equation: 1 litter box per cat + 1.

A litter genie (like the pail you linked) is a great choice for building the habit of cleaning the litter box often. Recommended to keep one near each litter box.

Also be aware, pine bedding can be an irritant to humans and cats (and many other mammals). It’s usually not recommended— mostly due to the dust. Pine pellets tend to be more safe due to how they’re processed.

Be wary of canned tuna- it tends to have higher levels of mercury which over time (such as daily feeding) can cause heavy metal poisoning in humans an and small animals. I personally don’t even bother, my cat gets freshly cooked shreds of meat as treats once in a while and special occasions.

On the topic of training: be patient, don’t use a water bottle or snap / loud shouting. Instead, when they’re doing something they shouldn’t be, calmly pick them up and physically move them to somewhere they can be and provide a toy or activity to replace the thing they were trying to do. Such as a string toy or other floppy toy out in the open if they were caught playing with computer wires under the desk. This goes for scratching too, if they are scratching the door/couch/bed/carpet, etc— place cardboard or rope scratching posts and pads nearby and physically move them from the bad spot to the good spot. Move around the good spots as needed based on what you observe. You will have to do this a lot, generally, but be patient and they will get the message. Positive reinforcement includes those toys and scratcher, you don’t have to provide a treat every time, especially as they grow up and become more independent.

Since you’re asking for opinions, I think you might be overreacting. But that’s totally natural after an accident!

That said, if you’re considering never driving again, then you really have to be sure that’s possible. If your family pushed you into it in the first place, they might already know that it isn’t feasible to rely on public transport where you live. That is extremely common in the US, because there is so much damn space between everything in most places. If you have to rely on others to fill the gaps where public transit fails, then you have to really consider if you’re doing more harm than good by refusing to drive. Ultimately the decision is up to you but there’s lots to consider here that we don’t have all the information for. It’s a good skill to have but requires maintenance to keep.

All the time! I say maccas for McDonalds.

YYYYMMdd is best for file names.

I prefer verbose for my task bar

Dev betas usually have a LOT more logging and background processes running and battery life is expected to be worse than public stable release, especially in the first couple days after install while all the indexes get refreshed and rebuilt globally.
