I’m from Iceland and this pretty much checks out. Pro tip, renting a cabin with a hot tub on days with good conditions is really good. Also travel with people who smoke so they go out and check on a regular basis.

The default theme could be better but you can customise a lot of it. Or you can wait for the current trend of rounded borders to end and KDE will be ahead of the curve.

Also, they always play until checkmate. If there are two geniuses playing chess one of them would resign at least 3 moves before reaching checkmate.

I can relate, I’m a shower person and I just love watching an anime episode while showering.

I like all of those things but currently I really like it to be light enough so it doesn’t bother my shoulders. On the go I want it to be light, at home I have everything with peripherals such as a USB hub, external monitors etc.

I really want to get a dock so I can plug everything through a single USB-C port but they are expensive and often have bad Linux support.

I remember one game having the replacement mag taped to the current so it was an easy out flip in every time.

I think this is it. Posting is reinforced by getting feedback on posts, both up votes and comments

I mean, it’s kinda true. A rocket just makes fire which expands and pushes whatever it burns out to make it go fast. You got the fire, the fire pushes things away from whatever you’re burning and the rest is just optimisation.

If you manage to make a helium balloon that floats in the air, attach a burning log fire to the bottom of it and enclose it in a way that the air intake is on the top and outlet is on the bottom you’ve made an engine that you just need to aim with a ballast weight.

Still wrong, but you were onto something.

I feel like I’ll be prepared later on but I’m fully expecting to not be ready when the time comes.

I’m an autistic male and for me expressing myself in general is a bit awkward. During tough times I really liked expressing it to my friends and siblings since it’s a decent way to process the feelings.

This is such an immersion breaking aspect of modern games and an absolute garbage approach. They’re idea is to not break the “flow” for the action players but for players that like puzzles it’s absolute horror. They just need to add during new game a “Puzzle hints” menu with Normal, Low and None.

“That rock looks fragile”, “Have you seen the rock next to the windmill? It has cracks in it”, “What if we shoot the rock with the ballista?” at those points I just want a “Shut up” option.

If I can’t figure out the puzzle myself it removes all satisfaction from solving it. I want to be confused, open up a journal that I need to skim through to get relevant information and then put the pieces together.

nzb360 that I got a perpetual license for at 10eur. It’s so easy and convenient to torrent stuff for my Jellyfin.

Niagara launcher is free but I paid for the perpetual license. It’s a third party launcher that I really like.

I’m also a Jetbrains fan depending on the language, they have so much support for everything just out of the box and are on Linux.

Also games, but I guess people don’t want to hear those here. Factorio was definitely worth.

I’m really bad at spending stuff on myself also. I like prioritising paying back loans, buying stock and so on since it pays itself back later on.

The way I look at it is that the less I spend on luxuries the less I have to work (currently and in retirement) so I don’t feel weird about it.

Another rule of thumb is to delay purchases by 3 months and it doesn’t set back your financial goals. If you’ve been wanting this Macbook now for 3 months and you have the money for it and you feel comfortable with your current financial situation I’d tell you to get it. If it’s an expensive car it’s a financial catastrophy usually so don’t get it even if you’ve wanted it for 3 months.

No idea if that helps but don’t feel weird about being frugal. Frugality is incredibly useful and can set you up for an easy life.

No, I wait 3 years usually. All bugs fixed, everything works, mods in great shape and price down 50%. Plenty of games older than 3 years also and much lower hardware requirements.

I made an exception for Elden Ring last time but that’s about it.

Can’t ban chemtrails but you can reduce contrails which play a weirdly large part in warming up the planet irrespective of fuel consumed.

Just putting the word out for an underrated climate thingy.

Coffee and beer, my two favorite drinks

Yeah, I love reading these and I’ve been using Linux for 8 years. I recommend Linux regularly and I want to know enough about new people’s experiences to know what questions to ask.

Do you use Photoshop? Do you have modern hardware or fancy monitor? What GPU?

Good thing we can all boot up TempleOS and find the answers we seek. 🙏

I see, it’s about flying under the radar if you’re up to something illegal. That makes a lot of sense for something like having weed in the car.

I treat a serious prod issue as annoying because it is.

Can someone provide a couple of practical examples?
