It really depends. Can they see my flings and hookups and everything in real time over the course of my life? If so, I’ll need 30+ post-death years to get over the embarrassment.

You and me both. It’s especially fun when you work in multiple timezones and some also have standard or daylight time on top of that. Really adds a layer to that shit sandwich of 12 hour time with 12am/pm confusion too

Install some solar panels!

Fwiw, you can’t see the sunrise from a windowless cubicle anyways. You now get a bit more daylight after work!

Nice! And yes.

Definitely a tough situation. I hope things work out well for all of you. I’m also extremely curious about what animal John has for his fursona.

FWIW, I’m not too worried about John’s dating life. The furry community is pretty strong and cross-functional, and there’s a ton of hobby overlap with furries and other hobbies and sports. Especially if he’s bi, there will be others that he will meet, and he’s young. Hopefully his depression gets better.

I want to grab mgsv when it drops below $20. $20 for a 2015 title feels a bit steep.

I just don’t really know how it’s really going to work. Couldn’t you just design your own parts with one weird bit of geometry and the computer wouldn’t recognize it?

Like, I get you don’t want ghost guns, but it seems like the bigger prize is going after illegal and currently legal guns that are actually used in mass shootings. 3D printed stuff seems like small potatoes compared to the daily casualty rates.

I think the Valve era was pretty incredible.

Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Half Life + HL2, and Portal + 2 all pushed the genres forward or were utterly unique for their time.

I can’t think of any other dev ATM that was doing what valve was doing in the 00s and early 10s.

Definitely fine. I fill up my car like…once a month, if that.

They’ll probably just beg for bailouts while laying off workers, and those workers will blame the company more than those who they voted for (or didn’t vote for, last election).

Mine failed that way, yeah. Though I think it was user error after trying to repair a mouse that wasn’t designed to be serviced officially. All the rubber wore off the wing, so I had to disassemble and replace it with a generic part. The left and right clicks are a bit spongy now, and middle click only intermittently works now, but the mouse is grippy again. I wish more mice were actually repairable.

It’s annoying to have mice that break down and need to be repurchased instead of a few replacement parts. 90% of the mouse was fine.

You will drive and you will like it! Sounds like it basically kills off biking and scooters in its entirety.

I generally recommend repotting in a mix of bark, it’s probably getting aerial roots because it wants a bigger pot.

These generally grow on trees and need humidity but not extended soaks- I water mine once a week under a grow light with 80% bark soil. High humidity with very little actual standing water. They’re sort of like succulents, in some ways!

Sometimes a bit of cold is fine for these plants. I believe some need a week of cold in order to flower consistently. Our drafty house is perfect for this- temperatures around 15-21c

Here is mine- the soil is out of focus, but it’s primarily bark with a very small amount of other soil to keep some moisture in. I probably need to repot soonish!

Also, we’ve had unisex bathrooms for decades. Family bathrooms too. This isn’t novel stuff. Stall bathrooms are terrible anyways.

I’ve never encountered a gendered bathroom in anyone’s home either, lol.

Legislation and not understanding how the technology works; name a more iconic duo.

Limit it based off speed, not off “watts” lol. You can run a motor at however many watts you want; the motor controller does that. It’s like tweaking the sear on an AUG.

The problem is parents buying 14 year olds emotos that can easily do 50+ mph and weigh a lot.

Getting rid of the three class system was a galaxy brain move, lol.

Have fun with emotos on shared use trails, instead of gentle class I-3 bikes doing 15.

I’d take my chances if I was 100% boned in a failing shuttle or space station. But yes, that would be a bleak re-entry.

I used to be hard-core into cars. I loved driving. Traffic, staggeringly bad insurance, and idiotic driving have largely soured me on driving. Yes, I will always have a car so I can get out to the great outdoors, but I have largely stopped driving in urban environments. The bike, bus, and train are faster, cheaper, or straight up easier than fighting an hour+ through traffic to go to a fun venue nine miles away.

Nowadays, I vote gleefully for everything that improves mass transit, bike infrastructure, and third places. There’s an incredible knock-on effect with traffic reduction. The more bus rapid transit lanes, the more comprehensive the rail network, and the larger and safer the bike lanes become, the faster it is to get around the city- even if one or more options is out of commission due to highway construction or tunnel repairs. A decade ago, I sat in gridlock traffic for three hours to go two city blocks. These days, I can get across town on bike in 26 minutes. Traffic is down- it only takes about an hour to cross the city.
