I went into this expecting like a throwaway slapstick comedy but it’s weirdly kinda deep and surrealist at times. Like just the shots alone and color scheme of the sets look crazy.

I torrented Shrek in like quad audio, the Italian dub is pretty funny.

He’s like “eyy donkeh, no bene!”

Why is damn near everything in Chinese?

Both BOTW and TOTK are some of the most well optimized games ever made. It’s truly wild that both those games can be played on what’s basically a suped up smart phone from 2016 and look and play as well as they do.

Unless you’re talking about everything else in the game, idk

I had a great time roving around Tahiti on my way to new Zealand and Australia.

Don’t believe I saw any chain business except a single McDonald’s (which funny enough was packed to the gills)

I modded them back in haha

I played HL1 for the first time last month. I absolutely loved it but holy shit is the end hard. Straight chaos once you get to Xen and the final boss is sooo good

That does sound pretty jank for other reasons but those post jacks being installed long term are incredibly common around here, and yeah they’re only supposed to be for temporary use. I’m more surprised when I walk into a house that doesn’t have them. My house has them and if you look at the floor joists I’d be scared what would happen if you spun them down haha, the joists are all bent and there’s a slight warp in the floor in the portion that don’t have them. It’s a 135 year old home so I’m not really worried about it.

I was sort of in a throuple once and it turned into a huge disaster lol. Also didn’t help that we were all living in a 2 br house with 5 people and a dog.

Well, this wasn’t me but a friend of mine. But he told me he literally was taking a swig of beer as the flashing red and blue came on behind him. I’m not sure how much stronger that might make a breathalyzer, but he asked for a blood test at the station instead for that reason.

I live on a very narrow street with a turn that the big truck can’t get up. So a guy comes in a pickup truck to get it. I can’t put too much out or else he’ll refuse it. Happened a couple times when I was gutting parts of my house. I just drove around the city and found random dumpsters.

This whole area does not recycle I found out. We’ll have separate collection for recycling, but it all goes to the same dump in this county.

We only have garbage, and “recycling”. Nothing else.

I just mash mod key + backspace on hyprland to kill it haha. Bye mfer!

But also sometimes lately hyprland hasn’t been playing as nice with steam games and my mouse doesn’t interact with the game. The fix I found is to fling the steam client over to the other monitor. Works I guess. Linux problems lol.

29 months is long? What good for “the economy”? New phone every year?

I kept my last phone (pixel 3A) for 6 years. Only got rid of it when it finally stopped charging.

When I was working in the middle of the desert near death valley on solar power plants, I tried sushi at some Chinese joint. Holy shit it made me so sick hahaha.

Some of my friends were “freegan”. Meaning if meat or something was literally getting thrown away, or if they dumpster dived and found something that wasn’t vegan, it was fair game.

Take that as you will I guess

Hollow knight and silksong are both the best to ever do it IMO

Worked with this quiet dude for a couple years. Other than an excessive amounts of tattoos all the way to his face and neck, seemed like a pretty normal machinist / mechanic working at the factory with us.

Later, someone found a local news article from about 5 or 6 years ago. The cops had gotten called to his place over a suicide attempt and when they got there they found like a treasure trove of Nazi and Aryan nation shit, guns, knives, swords, fucking bomb making materials like acetone paint thinner and gun powder, diaries and notebooks full of fantasies about killing robbing and torturing people including minorities, teddy bears he bled on, drugs and paraphernalia

I guess his dad is a state trooper and got him off the charges, go figure.

Fucking christ, now the mini PC I cart around to look at drawings and schematics at work is going to freeze up and be slow even more than it already is for some crap I don’t need

By hand. Haven’t had a dishwasher or air conditioning for at least 10 years

One thing I’d add is a whole house surge suppressor.

I saw the power lines arcing to either each other or the bamboo outside our house last week during a bad storm.

A whole house surge suppressor is only like $100, I’m gonna get one soon and install it. I saw it’s best to install it as close as possible to the main incoming power lugs, one lead on each leg of the split phase 120/240.

A UPS will protect against surges but it’s just a good idea with how many appliances and devices have circuit boards in homes these days. Like your furnace, oven, washing machine, game console, TV, etc.

I had an insane surge last winter so it’s a long time coming haha. I woke up and half my circuits were off. I measured 170v to gnd on one of the legs. Power company and fire dept had to show up to fix it.

Power is ehh not great where I live.

Edit: for your point about a NAS failure. If that were to happen, since I use unRAID, I could just throw the disks on any Linux PC and my data would be fine.
