Conservatives like to call the West Coast the left coast. It’s their little way of making fun of progressive states.

“I know my ri-”
Trump would be okay with that because it’s still a fuck you to the left coast.
At least 2…
I actually stopped using mine a long time ago, and every time I get a new laptop, I remove it. Not because I hate it, but because I like it. Even after modifying the acceleration settings to where I like them though, the repeated stress of pushing on the nub eventually start to develop dendonitis in my finger.
After I’ve trained myself to only use the trackpad I put the nub back on. Partly because it’s so iconic it just looks wrong without it, and partly because I want to avoid conversations with guest about my growing clit graveyard (although I guess I could just not leave them in a cup on the coffee table where everyone can see)
SteamOS plus the next gen of MSI Claw or ASUS ROG ally is going to be the absolutely superior gaming and customer experience in the coming years. There’s no good reason to buy a Switch unless you need Nintendo exclusives (or have kids, and then it just makes sense).
Nothing more shameful than someone walking and going “oh… okay… Not bad. To be honest, I expected worse”. Like, bitch what the fuck you mean “not bad”? That’s the cleanest that kitchen counter top has been in 6 months!
I had them.
On Saturdays.
Im 40. It had always been 15% as long as I can remember, and my memory of it goes pretty far back. When I started learning percentages in math class my parents made me the tip calculator whenever we’d go out so that would have been 8 or 9 years old?
The new Indiana Jones looks fantastic.
Cyberpunk, Witcher 3 got an update to graphics like 2 years ago, Returnal (3rd person shooter rogue lite scifi bullet hell that is fucking beautiful, was a PS5 exclusive but is now available on PC), the Spiderman games, god of war (2018, and the new one), Baulder’s Gate 3.
Or uh… Just install Path of Exile and play that for 3000 hours. I don’t know man. You do you.
It’s poker solitaire - you have 24 blinds to beat (getting 4 played hands attempts [two pair, four of a kind, etc), and 2 discards of up to 5 cards, per blind). The hand played plus the cards in the hand result in a multiplication formula to give you your point value. It’s pretty straight forward.
Every 3rd blind is a boss, which has a special debuff of some kind (like all diamond cards adre debuffed[provide no points and do not trigger special abilities), or 1 in 7 chance for a card in your hand to be dealt face down)
You beat the point target of each blind, and after every blind you go to the store to buy additional cards or things that modify your deck, like a tarot card that allows you to turn 3 cards into spades (making it easier to play flushes), or increase a two select cards by 1 rank (so, turning 2x 6s into 7s meaning you now have 6x 7s in your deck and 2x 6s, making it easier to hit 4 of a kind on 7s).
Then there jokers on top of it, which have even more crazy effects than modify your hand point values
The first 3 blinds are 300, 450, and 600 points
The 24th blind is 100,000 points.
So you need to develop your deck and jokers at the shop after each blind to continue to make your hands played more and more valuable, because that 100k blind isn’t that far away.
At its core it’s just a fun arithmetic game (a default pair hand is 20 points and a 2x multiplier. Then you get a joker that says +4 to multiplier of played hand contains a pair. So now when you play a pair you get 20 pts at a 6x multiplier).
It’s as simple or as complicated as you want it to be.
A lot of the fun comes from your own personal challenges. Like, just starting a run and getting a spectral card that turns your hand on to all 8s so you just go “fuck it, I’m gonna try to turn my hand into all 8s and do a 5 of a kind run”.
Oh yeah, and secret hands too: 5 of a kind, Flush House (full house with all cards of the same suit), and Flush Five (five of a kind, all same suit)
You might like it, you might not. I personally can’t see why people say it’s so addicting, but it does keep me busy on my train ride to work.
Watch out about offering to buy something. Sometimes they force you to go through with it.
Ask Elon.
Neither is solar or wind. But they’re all net-zero or near-zero carbon emissions when considering the entire lifestyle of the energy and machinery production.
I have an old desktop downclocked that pulls ~100W that I’m using as a file server, but I’m working on moving most of my services over to an Intel NUC that pulls ~15W. Nothing wrong with being power efficient.
If you have a laptop/something that runs off a battery, upower
Surely an egg timer can time more than just eggs?
it can do other things besides cook rice too
So, not a one kind specific kitchen tool…
Yeah, just tell her it’s the woke liberals tell her what she can and can’t do.
In southern Europe, almost everywhere has an espresso machine. Only fancy hipster coffee shops have filter coffee. They’re not prudes, they just dont see the point in having to have a completely separate machine for coffee that only gets used once a week just to accommodate a bunch of annoying ass tourists.
That’s not idiots. That’s people that don’t make much money, hate their job, and saw an opportunity to leave with some change in their pocket while dumpster fire is just smouldering and not a full blown blaze yet.
