I bought it on humble because steam was broken. They ran out of keys shortly after I purchased it, had to wait a few hours until they restocked them. They temporarily took silksong off their store during this time.
So gog might be the only one that wasn’t broke
I worked on industrial solar grid power plants.
The problem with solar is the battery technology hasn’t caught up with what can be harvested from the sun via solar panels. There isn’t a viable way to store it to be available for what the grid demands.
I’m also hesitant to call it a “green” technology when the rare metals required to make the solar panels and batteries make quite a bit of pollution and require slavery mining in Africa.
Nuclear is the way forward 100%
I love NFS. What made you dislike it? Just curious.
It works very well for me running arch on the desktop and unRAID on my NAS in the basement. NFS lets me blend my whole data pool into my file browser easily. Using the terminal on files on the NAS is chef’s kiss
My only complaint is sometimes it takes some finicky bullshit to auto-mount all the time. But I think that’s more of a problem with fstab. I don’t even remember how I fixed it last time.
Time to back up my fstab file lmao
I was there for work in my early 20’s. I worked on the industrial solar farms that supply utility power.
Even with a $75 per meal per diem, hotels paid for, rental pickup truck, etc, I still had no desire to gamble. I mean I was mostly working 80 hour weeks and going out to dinner but the slots were everywhere, even gas stations and dive bars.
Used to be you could play penny slots and get free drinks. I doubt that’s a thing anymore.
I did eat like a king tho. Steak and lobster like every night.
Already did this ages ago. Been building a collection for decades now. I’m pushing about 10k albums on the NAS. Haven’t had spotify since like 2018
AOC is liberal as hell
Where the hell are you getting 10Gbps for $50/mo? I’m paying $95/mo for 1Gbps
I got some news for you about Australia then.
I’m nowhere near as worried about this for kink stuff as I am about us LGBTQ living in the US.
The power supply is only going to output what it needs, nothing more. The wattage is a max rating. Oversizing will never harm anything
I didn’t go with speed queen because they’re nearly double the price of all other washer/dryers. I know they’re built like tanks and don’t really fail, or if they do they’re easy to fix. But I’ve also heard they can be tougher on clothes and wear them out quicker.
Ultimately ended up going with Maytag. It’s been solid for the past 6 months, no issues at all and I got a free 5 year warranty from the small local appliance store I bought it in, so maybe check them out opposed to the big box stores. They fix it if there are problems, not Maytag.
Also look for one with a “deep fill” option. All new washers have a federal requirement now that makes them “high efficiency” which really is just using way less water and spraying them for an hour. Whether this fully washes your clothes is a bit of a debate, but I guess that’s how most are in Europe now. The “deep fill” option is supposed to be if you’re washing bed sheets or very soiled clothes, but I still use it to soak my clothes.
Man sign me up because I haven’t had AC in like 10 years haha.
Some folks on here said they have problems with the EA launcher on Linux. Is the steam deck different or did you just work around it?
My city only has the bus, which is super unreliable and the times might as well not exist half the time, or what happened to me recently was they changed stops for a route and Google maps never updated. It’s typical to wait for an hour for a bus, sometimes they zoom right past you, or you need to transfer between lines. They’re also planning on cutting 35% of bus lines next year, raising the fare, and stopping service at 11 pm, all due to lack of funding. You can read more here:

There is a train, but it only goes to the suburbs outside of the city. The bus is your only option when you’re in city limits.
I would take some more confusing steps over there not being an option at all.
There are a few countries like Sweden and India that are pushing more and more towards all digital payments and slowly trying to wean off cash. I think this is terrible for a number of reasons.
The big one is I work on the side as an electrician from my day job. I get paid in cash (it’s usually only like 5-10 hours a week). I save up that money and have been paying my plumber or tile guy for work that I don’t want to tackle on my own at my house. There’s a whole undercurrent of labor and an economy that gets paid in cash that does not need uncle Sam’s prying eyes. I imagine it will be a long time before banks would stop taking cash in countries pushing for everything to be digital, but who knows.
The other reason is the more vulnerable people in society. You can’t tell me that making everything cashless and only payable via smart phone doesn’t massively screw someone over who’s homeless. A lot of people only get by via panhandling and if suddenly they can’t buy food or ride public transit without a phone that is connected to cell service, that is a massive barrier.
Lastly, all cash restaurants and bars. They’re still common in my area. Things are usually a little cheaper there and I like paying cash for a few drinks. Or like the one bar I go to is still kinda lawless haha, a PBR is $2.
1890 here as well. I love it, it’s nestled in the woods and built into the hillside so these massive retaining walls surround the first story. With all the trees and shade and basically being underground, this makes the first floor naturally cool. I’ve gone whole summers without AC. What’s also interesting is there’s a door on the second floor landing that goes right out into the hillside. There’s like a 2 foot wide platform and then the hill. Not much up there other than a steep overgrown mountain though.
Another thing I love is being able to see the river from my front stoop. I’m still in city limits of Pittsburgh though, so I can easily walk or bike down to more of the city type stuff. Or I can bop across a bridge to a couple other towns.
I’ll definitely spend my life here, as I’m slowly remodeling the place. But of course, a house this old comes with its own slew of problems. I try to tackle as much as I can myself tho.
Connor fucking lamb is the “resurgence” lmao what. I live in the city limits of Pittsburgh. He got elected in the suburbs right outside of the city, in the most liberal white collar suburbs. He is also the most plain white toast nothing burger of a politician. Complete and total centrist in every meaning of the word in American politics. If he’s the resurgence then the Dems are cooked
I liked when someone at work told me that yellowjackets are bees and I showed him the wikipedia page that says they’re in the wasp family and he was like “no that’s wrong”.
Then another guy came up and he asked him and that dude said they’re bees so he was like “see? I’m right”
