I like to tell myself that these are the death throes of a dying ideology.

Even if it's just a gesture, those people deserve more than they got.

Brutal op-ed

You can get open box, unused steelcase chairs on eBay for cheaper than "gaming" chairs, BTW. There's no reason to buy those abominations.

I've met two. Used to work with them on a ranch when I was a kid. Cool guys, wouldn't live in the same place for more than three months.

One of the dudes carried around a tiny TV with a built in VHS and a handful of movies. The other guy was just heading South, I think maybe going to Mexico.

When they decided to move on they just left, no goodbyes or heads up.. just gone one day.

Take the blanket, move to Antarctica with laptop and star link, never be bothered again.

That vendor story was so greasy it reminded me to take a shower.

Never asked them directly, figured they tell me if they wanted to but it never came up.

Nothing notably odd outside of their lifestyle. Neither one did drugs or drank. The VHS guy crashed in the ranch manager's garage, which was my neighbor, so I'd chill with him and watch movie sometimes. They both had a great sense of humor.

They showed up to work on time everyday, worked hard, and just did normal stuff off-hours. No reason they couldn't stay in one place as far as I could tell. I was 17 at the time, so I could have missed some cues, but nothing made them stand out.

We all made $5.25 under the table and got free lunch. It was a pretty good gig for a teenager and someone that didn't care about taxes. I guess once they got enough money under their belt to move on, they did.

I live less than an hour from Elon and ended up canceling my starlink preorder after eighteen months because I figured it was never going to come.

I thought Donkey Town was in Tijuana

With himself.

It was gorgeous in Fredericksburg, poking through tunnels of clouds throughout the eclipse.

Kuebiko is literally a scarecrow.

Okay, nailed it there. That was almost the worst part when flying to Tunis, seconded only by their very strange choice of food... I had a crash course in Muslim bidets after my first Air France trip.

She's not just on the HOA, she is the HOA.

Running my Valve Index in Mint Xfce rn.

Working on 100% in Inkbound, revisiting Dying Light 2 with some friends for the new patch, went back to Insurgency for my milsim fix, and reinstalled Last Epoch in prep for 1.0.

I paid $230 for an open box Think v1 like five years ago, still use it everyday. I tried to upgrade to a v2, but the wife ended up with it instead.

VM Ware / Virtualbox ?

I'm a subscriber. It's like a customizable RSS feed with a source metric and a built in browser, which makes it nice to just have an exit out of a site completely if their ads are annoying and just go to the next independent source. Their 'Blind Spot' tab helps me find things I don't normally dig for, and the curated feed I have set up for local.

It's a nice service, but the subscription is really only paying for the convenience of being in their ecosystem, and a few good stories that slip past drudge/apnews/aljazeera.

Right now I'd say pass, after the big patch who knows. Really lazy writing in the story, every quest midgame is a fetch, and if you do a single event you will get OP in one session.

If you grab it on sale, don't spec into wall ride for your parkour. It will constantly interrupt your jumps and hangs.. Makes me personally nauseous and I play in VR half of the time.

Geany for quick edits, and VSCode for everything else. Mostly because that's what I'm comfortable with. Think I may try Sublime soon.

They look at the TTL of the incoming packets. This can be modified in the windows registry.
