I wish, Steam would make another steam machine with steamOS
The last thing I want is a gaming PC
The steam machine program was where OEMs could partner with Valve to make a gaming PC that shipped with a steam controller and Steam OS. That’s it.
You stated you wanted a steam machine, but also say you don’t want a gaming PC, but… That’s what a steam machine is

I stream but from my own server.
I’ve got a collection curated over the last 15 years by my partner with over 40k tracks. I can shuffle and it will play for over 3 months without a repeat.

Do you have a designated table you put the peanuts on?
I knew a guy years ago who managed to start trading with the crows in our neighborhood by having a table with two sections, one with bird snackies, the other empty (I think he may have put some foil there at one point?) so they’d have a place to put their payment.
The always got little plastic things, bits of mylar, twistie ties and what not.

Their website advertises it as a homeopathic product, are you sure this isn’t a scam? It looks like its just some vitamins C and Zinc.

In some places you can build your own. While not very popular, there are several exo-cars that can be purchased as “build your own” kits. They’re a nightmare to register, because of safety regs and the difficulty in getting a VIN, but it can be done.

Kraken is the term.
Krakens are physics glitches which generally get worse the deeper into space you are. Some craft are designed to be 100% kraken powered and don’t even have engines onboard

While their process is organized lengthy, EA reps will go really far to help you prove you own an account to recover it and change the login info, over the phone at least. I’ve had to work with them recovering accounts several times because I never learn from a mistake the first time.

I feel super sorry for whoever has to do my next tire change, the previous owner of my vehicle (just purchased otherwise it’d already have had a tire change) was using fix-a-flat for top ups so the didn’t have to lug out the air compressor.
I have no idea how much goo is in these tires, but I can only assume they look like the aftermath of a ménage et troi with 3 “Slimers” from ghostbusters.
- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 5 weeks ago:
Much of this specifically is devs implementing MSAA, which once upon a time was cheap, efficient, and looked fine. Nowadays with RT added into the mix MSAA just simply can’t function well on modern hardware, to the point where even city builders like Cities Skylines 2 will crawl to 14-15fps on low settings if you haven’t overridden the graphics pipeline to remove msaa and replace it with one that actually functions.

Huge phone, big app icons.
I try not to use apps other than my browser for privacy reasons, but also I’m super easily distracted so I try to keep the apps I freauently use on my home screen and HUGE so I don’t get distracted by other apps or bright colors.

I’m easily distractable so I have the scale cranked up and the color cranked down so I only do what I opened the phone to do.

Hiya! Former optician here!
Have you taken your progressives in figure them adjusted or aligned?
Progressive lenses must be fitted in the perfect spot in front of your eyes to give you the best possible vision.
Once fitted correctly, they mimic the way your focus changes naturally by applying +power as you progress further down the lens, basically shifting towards spherical shape to “magnify” a bit, the same way the muscles in your eyes bend your inner lens to do the same!
In order to use them efficiently:
Folks tend to point their nose slightly downward as they view distance, keep this in mind as your distance section is at the top!
When looking near people tend to slightly cross their eyes and look down towards their nose! This is why the bottom of the lens feels stronger, its where you’re expected to read through.
Midrange is the tough one to nail. I recommend holding a piece of paper with text at arms length in front of you, find the spot where its perfect and slowly drag it from that spot to where you’d prefer to read. This will help to train your eyes to follow that track to vary the focus.
Dont give up! I usually recommend giving your lenses a few weeks to adjust to a new style of lens.
Remember though, while they may be difficult to use at first, your vision should be perfect when they do work, getting them to work 100% of the time is the part that takes effort.
