- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 3 days ago:
Oh that’s handy, I set group policies on my wife’s Win10 computer, but I guess InControl automates that process. Nice.
I switched to Linux last year, but the wife has no interest in any of that. So I set the group policy and haven’t seen a single thing about Windows 11 popup on her computer… yet. But I have Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC flashed to a usb stick taped to her computer in case they find a workaround for that.

Can you imagine how much pressure the shower would have to generate to get enough flow through a single or even multiple RO filters to be able to recirculate the same shower water. It’s not going to be RO, 5 micron pre-filter and some type of carbon filter. A glorified Brita shower.
- Comment on card game shop 1 week ago:
It goes on at length about how the myriad filters remove everything. I hadn’t thought about that, but I don’t think it would clean the water THAT good.

Usually people say ground beef, but some call it hamburger meat, or just hamburger.
- Comment on grocery shopping 1 week ago:
Certain grocery chains in Canada employ these types of self checkout scanners. Every item is weighed, your bags need to be on the scale from the start and there’s a camera over each checkout.

- Comment on Anon checks up on a childhood friend 2 weeks ago:
I cheat my way through games, I may be losing some of the gameplay experience. But I like getting an hour to myself to play a game and not have to do repetitive in game tasks. Playing Roadcraft right now, and sure I could use the dump truck to drive back and forth to the sand pit 300 times or I could use a trainer, have unlimited sand and fill in anything that would prevent game progression. And increase the game speed so I can actually get things done in the small 60 minute timeframe I have. I envy those who can spend hours in the game getting absolutely nothing done.

I use Gemini for my web searches now. But still donate to the WMF. In most cases I just want an answer with the least amount of bullshit. Even using Startpage to get Google results without Google bullshit, it’s annoying. My wife demands sources, and Gemini will provide those as well.
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 4 weeks ago:
You’re right, this was more common in the warez days. Nowadays, I generally trust Pirates. If you’re stupid and download a game from some rando site, and not a trusted repacker then you deserve what happens.
If you’re paranoid, stick to clean steam files and use Goldberg.

This is my go-to for anything that doesn’t want to run:
github.com/…/wine-dependency-hell-solver
I’ve switched a few friends to Linux and whenever they have trouble running a game outside steam, I just send them this. Hasn’t failed yet. While I, like many other Linux users enjoy scrolling through logs: this is easier.
- Comment on Someone else will retire me when the time comes. 1 month ago:
I was there last month looking for some safety shoes to replace my redwing boots as I’ve changed roles in my company and don’t need 8" boots anymore. They didn’t have any shoes in stock because they were partnering with New Balance for their fall lineup of safety shoes. I couldn’t wait, so I picked up an ultra light 6" boot that I’m pretty happy with. Still fucking expensive though.

One of my subbed creators mentioned a drop in views and how disheartening it was. Guess they’re affected too.

- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 2 months ago:
Well if they’re gonna charge those prices, they’re probably gonna opt for Denuvo and then we can’t pirate it. But if enough of them do it, then we might see a concerted effort into breaking denuvo

I was on Effexor XR Max Dose, and one day when I realized that it had effectively killed all feelings I stopped cold turkey, zero side effects. My doctor thinks I have a very high drug tolerance, to the point that anything I’m put on nowadays is just started at close to the max dose. I’m on a drug right now that is prescribed at a level that would normally result in death for most people, and he thinks I can go higher if I need to.
Downside is pain drugs don’t work, at all. He told me they’d need to give me IV pain meds if I really needed any pain suppression.
