I didn’t know they had an Air Force

Same, but nvidia shield. I’ve tried pihole and pf-blocker with no success.

Rabbits I’m not sure. Cats naturally want to bury their leavings, so they actually train themselves just fine. Show them where it is, keep it clean, and 99% of the time that’s that.

Same actually, and a refurb m1. That’s not to say apple doesn’t use predatory tactics, and hard agree with complaining about laptops sold with 8gb of ram. I use windows, Mac, and Linux daily, and for my devices I want to last and not worry about, I go apple.

For the comedic value, have you tried He Who Fight With Monsters? It’s my most reread series by far, and is what I always give people after Carl.

Cradle is the other big one. The first half of book one is a bit of a hump for me, similar to reading Kal’s perspective in Way of Kings, but it picks up fast. The audiobook is magical; just about anything read by Travis Baldree is worth the time.

Dungeon Crawler Carl reference with a Way of Kings username? I’ve found my people.

I don’t love the idea of roaming security cameras, but at least they’re actually getting warrants.

Accepting that’s is ok to sometimes eat a frozen meal has been absolutely instrumental in helping me reduce eating out.

I got caught in the trap of perfect, trying to make tasty, healthy, low-cost meals, and then giving up when I couldn’t just do that every day with no experience.

It’s actually really important to keep your lawnmower blades sharp. Makes the whole process much easier, and the engine won’t have to work as hard.

The whole We Were Here series is marvelous. Asymmetrical co-op puzzle games. My friend and I’s recent games list looks very similar to this.

We also do a lot of single player games with one of us streaming over discord. When it’s a slow-burn puzzle or mystery game, it doesn’t really matter who is actually controlling.

For those types, I really recommend Return of the Obra Dinn. We’re currently working our way through the entire Frogwares Sherlock Holmes collection. The old ones are so terrible, which is a greatness all by itself.

It works by encouraging union and co-ops, actually punishing companies that break laws, and providing social safety nets. Basically everything this comic points out.

From literally the first paragraph stating it’s still there.

The original motto was retained in Google’s code of conduct, now a subsidiary of Alphabet. Between April 21st and May 4th of 2018, the motto was removed from the code of conduct’s preface and retained in its last sentence.[9]

Gonna go on Countdown with the line “Dictionaries aren’t rule books, they’re record books” and fight Susie Dent.

That is a meaning for the phrase, yes

Props to teenagers getting out there and making things, but I’m skeptical of fact checking with the same technology responsible for making up half its output.

Normally I’d say it would be ridiculous for a company to push legislation for such a small demographic, but since Korea has mandatory service still as far as I know, they basically get to put a Samsung in the hands of every male citizen. And they’ll most likely keep using the same brand of phone after.

Interesting. I generally cannot stand deus ex machina, so I’m surprised to not really be able to think of heavy examples of it for Lindon. He certainly gets out of tricky situations, but maybe to me it felt like they were either foreshadowed or somebody like Aethan gets him out of it?

I’m planning another reread soon; I’ll have to pay special attention to see why it didn’t register for me in this particular story.

This is probably my favorite fantasy book series, so I’m super curious what resolutions you’ve found annoying.

I’ll say I find the first book a bit of a slog, but that’s mostly because I can’t stand the secondhand embarrassment of Lindon’s behavior.

Once Aethan shows up, it’s a straight shot to the top for me.

I know historically “deaf and dumb” meant deaf and mute, but, at least in the classes I took in college, I was told we don’t use that terminology anymore, for hopefully obvious reasons.
