Making play dates

Whenever Melania opens her legs for Trump.

How to reduce road rage.

Just played the NES Contra yesterday for the first time in probably over a decade. Still can beat it first try although I did have to use a couple of continuous on stage 4. I’m so used to not dying that I forgot where to find the good weapons. But for stages 5-8 I still had all the muscle memory of where to shoot and when that I developed as a kid.

All I got right now is this box of one dozen starving crazed weasels.

Recently had the sewer backup into my basement. Didn’t expect the return ticket.

I was in the sane situation as you and what I did was buy a new drive to put Linux on so I could dual boot and get used to things without wiping everything. Linux can even mount your Window drive if you need to access data on it.

I tried a few distro myself but landed on Garuda Dr460onized Gaming. (You can look at different versions here) The gaming version came with steam and Heroic installed and had a nice colour theme picked. Gaming has been great and all Windows games that I’ve tried have worked better than when I was running Windows. (Rocket League, Hades 2, Uncharted 4 to name some) You can always keep Windows on your other drive and boot it for games like Fortnite that have kernel level anti cheat.

The only issue you might have is that Garuda is pretty bleeding edge with when updates get applied. This can be good or bad. There were some issues getting dual screens working for me at first, but those issues have gone away completely now. I also had issues with the top menu bar crashing and disappearing. Lasted about 2 weeks and then an update fixed it. (Survived by using the Meta + Spacebar search launcher and Ctrl + Alt + T to get into a terminal) So updates to fix issues come out somewhat quickly, but issues pop up too. I actually think it’s been pretty stable right now.

I used to have this really awesome early 2000’s transparent blue plastic keyboard with all the newest media keys. The only problem was that it had 4 windows keys on it! One on either side of the spacebar. The right side of the spacebar was Alt, Windows, Context menu, CTRL. That was a bit weird but it was alright. The next placements were crazy though. Someone figured there was space for more keys right below the Delete, End and Page Down keys but I guess they couldn’t really figure out what would be best for there so they put a 3rd Windows key, a 2nd Context Menu and then a 4th Windows key right there. This was pretty close to the arrow keys and if anyone remembers gaming in the early 2000’s, pressing the windows key accidentlly would often just crash your game completely. If you could get back into it, it could take quite a while for it to respond again. So if you were playing something like Warcraft 2 multiplayer, that button was a fucking nightmare.

Ugh, I loved the colour of that keyboard so much I put up with all those windows keys.

edit: I can’t believe I found it! I’ve tried searching for this keyboard a few times, but finally found proof on this site!

I like the idea. Subaddressing with a + on my gmail addresses has been very useful, but I like the idea of it being a first class citizen.

Is there any chance that a hyphen will be rejected by some online forms? Even if it is is valid, there are some bad validators out there. I’m just thinking it might not be possible to use this for some of those services if all emails to your base address get bounced.

And bringing my own domain sounds interesting too.

At least at the end of the mortgage you will have a house. If you’re renting you’ll be paying pretty close to the same amount but won’t have anything to show for it. And then consider that a house will usually appreciate in value over that initial $500k after 30 years.

Do you want to have 0 total dissolved solids? A lot of minerals in your drinking supply can be a good thing.

Very cool link though, thanks!

Haha, I hope it was a drooler!

Doesn’t matter to the suits, but it matters to the people who actually create the content.

Iove technology, so I was shocked at that part that someone would name their computer like that. But the character is 75 years old, so it makes sense.

A great SciFi book series with this is Old Man’s War. I love the brain pal concept in it.
