I recall walking home from highschool with my friend on their bike, older person unintentionally let off their brakes while we were in the cross walk. Super low speed, literally couldn’t have been more than a few km/h but was enough to mangle the bike’s wheel, I got clipped in the leg but I was further from the car so was just a light touch.

That distrust of drivers carries over to driving (people should be driving defensively), people do stupid shit, sometimes without realising (which is scary in of itself).

Last place I worked, any event someone would always bring a Sicilian style Pizza from a local place, looked a lot like this.

.

Really good bread and seasoned sauce works, definitely not that unpopular!

I really liked their black/speed stuff, also love the new stuff, definitely a band that’s an instant add to the list when they put out new material.

It did get abandoned early in the series if I recall (been a while) and from what I recall he did tweak the results after Boomer so that more or less only he could tell so maybe it did work, the first “results” before her were totally fudged so who even knows. I had also forgotten that

Back in my first year (2008) we had these mandatory online assignments for physics and calc (think it was springer or something). Some of us would group up to work through things which ended up making our study groups. One of my friends at the time used to do all of theirs in excel and upload them (I was in residence at the time and there was a gigantic peer to peer filesharing network on campus) for everyone to use, I know there were a ton of people who didn’t even touch the homework without them.

It’s definitely not a new thing for sure.

Bad times with tear gas or other chemicals, heard stories of people getting them stuck with things like acetone vapours alone on top of it probably making it harder to rinse your eyes.

Honestly, people should be preparing with full face respirators that they’ve practiced using (and they’re useful to have around anyhow)

There was one in Calgary, Alberta in a parking lot that somehow people kept hitting too, global phenomenon apparently

I half wonder if it’s regional, I reserved mine when that went up and mine showed up a few weeks back, it shipped out of the states though so idk.

If you have a steamdeck, layout is close but it’s way more comfortable to use the trackpad. Rear buttons are a lot nicer than the ones of the deck. It feels closer to the oled deck stick wise, I have a lcd one which I swear has way farther travel. I haven’t figured out what to do with the grip inputs yet, not super sure how useful they’ll be for me to be honest but cool it’s there.

Small things and totally software that I appreciated, noticed that the back buttons are one by default with it, maybe that’s across the board now, was a small but appreciated change because I was always having to turn that on. Also like that steam input can ignore trackpad inputs if you’re touching the sticks.

Oh it hammed it up for sure, to me it added to the charm but I can totally get if you weren’t expecting it in the setting.

It takes a lot of inspiration from Disco Elysium, which is not subtle at all (and is extremely memorable for it). Having an election be a constant thing that you had to think about was an interesting way to work it into the world imo.

There’s an infamous Canadian serial killer, Robert Pickton, who was a pig farmer. Dude’s heinous so a bit of a warning if you don’t want to read about it.

It’s not a secret one at all as I based it on some existing seasonings but I’ve got a lot of mileage out of

• coarse ground black pepper
• salt
• cayenne pepper
• dill weed
• coarse ground coriander seeds
• garlic powder

I don’t have any smoked paprika right now or I’d toss that in too. Just grind the spices for a few seconds in a mortar and pestle. I’m pretty generous with the cayenne, say this ends up roughly 1:1:1:2-3:0.5:1 ratio, sometimes I add some red pepper flake too. The seasoning this is ripping off uses dill seed instead of dill weed but hey, use what you have right?

For one, mine would be

I think your idea for one could make for some interesting runs for sure, for sure some would rush the dlc, but I think it could help flow too by letting you do less back tracking. Relevant to my above, I think I’d totally go that way after Quelaag.

Yeah I had no idea why that elevator went up to iron keep, even flipping it as like a descent underground or something could be cool too. For me, let me bulk turn in covenant items please, it’s just kinda tedious.

ER - more somber/ancient dragon smithing stones. For me, somber is more of an issue, 14 somber in base plus dlc sounds like a lot, and for most people it probably is, but there’s a pile of weapons in the game and sometimes it’s fun to experiment. I know you can just roll with the +9 just fine, still would be nice to have an option for more, DS 1 and 2 let you farm max upgrade materials so it’s not like it’d be new for the series.

Data transfer is a mess afaik, big reason I tend to buy my cables in different lengths, if it’s long I know it’s for charging, short it’s for data. Some manufacturers do mark the cable ends with their capabilities (ugreen for sure does this, just checked my power ones are marked 240w and my data a marked 10Gbps), my stuff is mostly older though so I don’t have a bunch of different data speeds to worry about.

I’m with you though, I’ll take it over a bunch of different proprietary cables.

I use both, debian on servers and old machines, arch on my desktop. Arch being rough is way overblown in my experience, the install script makes it straightforward to setup and it’s been pretty much painless since I switched to it two years ago, I had experience with debian before that. Both arch and debian have fantastic documentation available.

Debian and derivatives, in my experience, are really well supported so that’s a plus. Age of packages has never really bothered me and cases where I want bleeding edge there’s options for that.

Both are solid options and I don’t think you’ll be upset either way, if you can I’d try both.

My partner got me one of these pill popper things (amazon link is the best I could find, sorry) that gets around having to fill it myself. Yeah you have to remember to mark the day but it works well for me, was that or one of those timer lids as there were definitely days I missed doses or weren’t sure if I took my meds and didn’t want to risk double dosing.

Saw someone describe it as 90s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and that was enough for me to pick it up. It’s short yeah but to me it’s a good example of games as art. The music choice is integral to the experience, I really enjoyed it and have been gently suggesting my partner play it.

I don’t pay attention to the people who yell woke at everything, what’s their issue this time?

The og did all of that through haptics, it worked really well. don’t see cutouts in the case for a speaker and I didn’t see any mention on ifixit, feel like valve would have listed it in the specs.

And even for fresh water, you have biofouling to worry about and what to do with the water after you’ve used it, can’t just dump it into the environment untreated.

That was one of the really cool features of the OG steam controller (and the deck too but I don’t use as much), pads can totally be setup to emulate a trackball and the haptics were weirdly good and giving you feedback. I found it really solid for games like warframe, that and gyro aiming (which I’ve never gelled with on the deck) felt pretty solid to me.

Otherwise, the trackpads can be used for things like rotary menus too which I definitely get a lot more use out of.
