I’m convinced that the state government (usually very heavily Republican) hates St. Louis because it leans Democratic, and because it’s where most of the Black people live.

It’s not like St Louis and its dozens of little suburban fiefdoms are entirely a progressive paradise, but goddamn it’s still about 80 years ahead…

As long as the frame rate doesn’t drop to something like 10, or stutter obviously, I don’t ever find myself caring about it.

I also run games at 2560 x 1080. My eyesight kind of sucks anyway so it’s not like higher resolution is going to do anything for me other than make performance worse.

I think it was formerly just illusion and maybe teleportation (or fake teleportation by using illusions?)

I think during the series he levelled up, taught by Sylvie or learning from her example. He seemed to have a “wait, did I really just do that?” look when he caught the falling building.

I never use the messaging stuff. The last thing I want to do is share “private” communication with a social media company.

What I want is kind of the opposite of Threads. Just the feed from accounts that I follow, with no “Suggested For You”, no ads, no highlighted comments, no continuous scroll of accounts that it…

I saw an article similar to this about ten years ago and a lot of things about my life clicked into place. My usual anxiety does tend to get worse in the summer. Restlessness and agitation for sure, like I need to escape whatever situation I’m in. Not violent behavior as such, but a kind of angry frustration that…

Also sounds like it won’t work if you have aphantasia. It’s pretty rare that I picture things in my mind visually.

Diablo II is probably in the top 5 games I’ve spent the most hours in. Pretty sure I’ll be picking this up.

200GB, good grief. That is the size of my entire Steam folder...

Is it just a coincidence that this article comes right after “How To Safely Dispose of Old Gasoline?”

There’s less danger, there’s not no danger.

I’m very happy to be fully vaccinated. I’m also diabetic and my wife is immunocompromised thanks to meds she has to take. Community transmission in my neighborhood is about what it was this time last year. And there are chuckleheads going maskless who haven’t been vaccinated…

I’ve been thinking about either dumping my minifigs in storage or even selling them, instead of acting as dust collectors when I need the shelf space for other things.  But damn if I don’t really want that punk pirate mermaid.

This does have the effect of getting hot water out faster. It also has the side effect of making your cold water tap warm for several seconds when you first turn it on, which may be an issue if you drink tap water.

The main benefit of a recirculation pump is to prevent both the warm and cold water lines from freezing…

When I was a kid, for some reason I always saw the 1970 USPS eagle logo as a silhouette of a guy in a cap. I really can’t see it now, but I do see Lenin on that Bug.

I literally just started replaying GW2 this past weekend. I got into a pattern of leveling a bunch of characters in open world PVE, then bailing out for a year or so, then wanting to play it again, like I used to do with Diablo 2.

I feel the same, like collectively our society should have learned something from this tragedy and gotten its shit together a little bit. Like maybe we could finally fix our healthcare system, address inequality, and take the opportunity to further reduce emissions and waste in the long term.

So, kinda like Overwatch then?

Quartet, Marble Madness, Out Run and Paperboy are pretty much my favorite 80s game music. Love that crunchy FM.

I’ve heard that heat from the laminators can screw up the glue holding stickers onto the card, or ink from thermal printers on those stickers.

But you should be able scan/photograph/copy the card and laminate that.

Based on these figures... got any advice on how to win a lottery?

I saw a mudcrab the other day.
