You can use bees wax as cutting lube and it helps.

The only game I have not been able to get work has been pubg. Everything else has been great and run fine once proton was up and running. I am using bazzite 41 as my current distro.

I bought one as the VIs were coming out because it still fit better for my needs than the newer hardware. Long live my 5V.

You shouldn’t be looking for a news source that directs you one way or another at all. You should be looking for a news source that presents facts. If you can’t find a strictly factual interpretation of the events being reported, then you should focus on understanding the bias in that information and determining why is is there, what the presenter is telling you, and how they want you to feel or react.

Between lone star tick disease and deer prions I am not really all that interested in being in the woods proper anymore.

Chupathingys are real

Ticks.

I can count very few things I use as much a my water bottle on a daily basis. It comes with me everywhere I go.

Gotta be the grapefruit one for me but Jarritos is the exception to my soda ban as well.

What program are you using for your rpg campaigns?

Minecraft server is fairly universally supported.

I tried kangaroo in Australia and it was not good.

With Att fiber, I had to use their gateway or not have internet. You can set it to passthrough mode but I didn’t really trust that even with my own router and their wifi disabled.

On Comcast/xfinity copper 2.5, I am 100% using my own modem and router. They kept pushing me to get a streaming box, thermostat, camera, whatever the fuck else and it took several steps to get just the basic service.

Now include property taxes and homeowners insurance. Most of Texas would shift bright fucking red.

Uncle Iroh, but post general/fire lord.

Texas sucks. Everyone talks about how much it has a low cost of living and minimal taxes because there is not a state income tax, then the homeowners insurance rates go up or get cancelled and you can count on property taxes going up 10% annually. We bought our house in 2016 and the amount has gone up 10% every year since, not including the other bond issues which increase the tax rate on top of the existing rate.

Kind of like Altered Carbon

What is the significance of the campfire? Is is just a campfire or does it mean something else?

All of my local libraries have cds and dvds to borrow.

You should checkout the public library.

I took a job at a “robotics” company after the owner sold me a huge line of bullshit (that I completely fell for which is a story for another time) after being in a toxic job for a number of years before. On day one at about 8:30am, I realized that it was not what I fell for during the interview. The boss was someoletely unhinged, the expected hours were not what I had agreed to and the work was constantly being micromanaged by the owner who knew just enough to look like a complete idiot when the discussions got technical. The only positive thing with the job was that I had some company stock coming in at 6 months so I held out until I was 100% sure they couldn’t screw me on the stock vesting and then immediately resigned.
