decrepit boomer voice Whoa there sonny! Lots of stuff sharing just one computer? Sounds like communism to me!

“Anti-voting activists”? You mean Nazis?

Truly setting a new record for being on the wrong side of history 100% of the time.

Yep, why would anyone bother spending the time and effort to negotiate anything if the US will rip it up a few months later?

Yeah I intended to write a very similar comment. I think Kelly is respected as someone who is both honest and who cares about the country, so while I’d nominally prefer a progressive, Kelly would be a huge alternative to Newsom’s slicked-back car salesman energy.

Huh, pardon my ignorance but, does one not take them out regularly, particularly to sleep? I was under the impression that people generally take earrings, etc out to sleep, I guess I assumed that logic applied to all piercings generally.

Sure, but great weather just makes it that much more appealing. It’s not a prerequisite but it’s a huge plus. So, not having great bicycle infrastructure in a place with great weather seems like such a loss.

I blew away my Windows install in favour of Fedora about a year ago. There are only two games in my entire library that don’t work - Call of Duty and Battlefield, both of them because of anti-cheat fuckery. The other 300+ that I’ve tried playing have just worked. Basically tinkering required.

Times have really changed. The life hack you should know is to use ProtonPlus to install Proton-GE which is a customised version that has a bunch of fixes for different games. You just set Steam to use this one over Valve’s default version for all games and you’re pretty much done. They’ve integrated tweaks and fixes for thousands of games, on a per-game basis, so if you’re using this build of Proton then you have nothing else to do. No fiddling, no command line monkeying, just launch and play, same as Windows.

It’s honestly very impressive these days.

Apparently this is the name of a construction/engineering firm here in Lisbon Portugal. Amusing coincidence

Is there an equivalent to doing /u/user in The Bad Place, to notify and summon someone?

 

Do you like old fashioneds, and wine? This is the drink for you! I can't remember now where I got the idea, but I've been making them forever.


2-3 shots Bourbon whiskey (personal favourite: Jefferson's Reserve, the gentle alcohol notes but strong wood flavours blend gracefully into the wine notes!)

1 - 1.5 shots' worth of tawny port (don't need anything too good here but a basic 10 year Graham's or similar will do)

1 teaspoon simple syrup (take it easy on this since the Port itself will impart sweetness!)

1 big ass ice cube

1 maraschino cherry

 

I'm a fan of custom and unique twists on cocktails; and if you're reading this, hopefully you are too! Let's move beyond the typical basic stuff and discuss more interesting recipes that have a special place in your heart, particularly if you've concocted them yourself, or put a twist on them.
