That sounds like the version I had, except mine was a DVD. Was it the Collector’s Edition?

My '24 Chevy does this, too. Lock, unlock and remote start apparently route through OnStar, so using those requires an OnStar subscription.

They’re very much not the same, but have you tried Rimworld or SAELIG?

I definitely don’t like that word.

In case you’re interested, I believe post10 is primarily in property management now, which gives them the financial freedom and free time to do all the stuff they do in their videos.
The YouTube channel started (at least when I came upon it) with them clearing beaver dams out from culverts (using their knowledge from the public works you referenced to determine whether doing so was both safe and legal). Once that demonstrated itself to be surprisingly popular, they started adding videos about other stuff. Personally, I like the camping videos the most.
Caveat: I’ve done no research whatsoever other than watching their videos.
Thank you for your service!

I was going to send you a message to ask about glasses, but glasses are not Linux or art. That said, a Linux using optician/artist sounds like a pretty cool person.

This was my guess. I’ve experienced it a few times.

Those two movies were fantastic. Army of One is another great.

Not something I expected to see six days later.
But gum seems achievable. I’m a lonely man. When can I expect you?

Whenever I introduce people to Adventure Time, there are a few episodes I recommend. They are generally episodes that don’t require much familiarity with the universe, though said familiarity would enhance the experience.
I encourage you to watch the show in whatever way seems beneficial to you, but if you want suggestions, I’m here for you.

Nerd.

Season 3 is just when it starts to get good.
I’m sorry if I’m telling you something you already know, but for reference: the creator of AT was explicitly “anti canon” for the first two seasons. In the third they started to be willing to tell a consistent, coherent story. It’s a rough start, but it gets better from there; I understand if you’re reluctant to dedicate more time, but IMHO it’s well worth it.

Hah - I get that. The show wasn’t around when I was a kid and, when I tried to start it as an adult, the first two seasons didn’t exactly encourage me to pursue it. I’m not normally okay with “it gets good in season three” type shows, but a friend convinced me to stick with it and I’m glad they did because it’s now among my favorite shows.
- Comment on Day 386 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
If I weren’t familiar with this game and saw screenshots, I could believe it was an Adventure Time game.

You should definitely know your man.

While I recognize the humor, I wish I had a book bestie.
- Comment on Dirt Man 1 week ago:
There is a clear thematic connection here, but when I started reading your comment I thought you were going to say it was because “Ursula” resembled “Ursus.”

Great! I look forward to our friendship.
- Comment on Cutting sucks 1 week ago:
How much do you charge for just general friendship?
- Comment on Cutting sucks 1 week ago:
Is this a general offer? Because that offer sounds kind of incredible.

I appreciate this sentiment and find your posts enhanced by the knowledge, but can’t think of anything to enhance it.
Thank you for following up!

It’s always fun to see what games you post that I recognize and which you post that require reading your post to identify.
