Mellow

This is all I wanted for VII. You fans of tactics are lucky.

What about international waters 3+ miles off the coast?

Bob Parr not ‘Paar’. Easily mistaken if you’re from Russia or not from a western country.

Look kids. If you wanna get Conjunctivitis, E. Coli, Hepatitis, or Tapeworms, in addition to your STD. By all means keep licking the chocolate starfish. You do you. But you don’t have to censor the word ‘ass’ if that’s your behavior.

Shit on men. Call the conservatives nazis when it’s the Black, Asian, and Latino voters who carried this election. Repeat quotes out of context. Spread lies. That’s how we get more people on our side, right??

Should we report them for attempting commit fraud for posing as an official complaint office?

The two D’s are for a “double-dose of pimpin”.

… I’m pretty sure their pixel art was “heavily inspired” by Castlevania from the start. The last time I played it I noticed it started shifting away from that.

What is the actual quality of the game?

Did you know about this game? Did you buy and play this game? Did you actually like this game?

Are you one of the ~220 people who bought this game and didn’t spread the word to their friends.

It sounds to me like this game sucks. Maybe it was rotten from the start. Maybe they were forced to hire a bunch of mentally ill people with a massive chip on their shoulder to ‘advise’ and change the game to tick some boxes on a list. ( don’t you just love having fun according to a list of prescribed requirements? ) I bet the people working on it like that. Talk about a soul sucking job without passion. We will probably never know the truth.

I’m a pessimist.

I think it would be ‘overstating’ deepening on which side of the fence you sit. Microprose can’t possibly be the same team members they were 20-40 years ago. If you are nostalgic for a game you played as a child then maybe be a little guarded for what a completely different group does with the IP.

I’ve seen that it tends to affect phones with a mechanical zoom camera. Like iPhones and Galaxy’s. My bike has apple car play built in, so I tend to just keep my phone in my pocket and use the cross bar controls on the left handle to navigate the menus, no need to take my hands off the bars to tap a damn screen while going over bumps.

How are your knees? I saw that episode as a kid. Mine make noises when I stand up.

Space is vast. Just like dat ass.

The new-ish Federal Trade Commission head has been making a push to work on quite a few projects for the past couple of years. They have a very small resources and man-power compared to the war chests of multibillion dollar companies, but recently, somehow managed to bring charges against Google as a monopoly. This in my opinion is a good thing. I consider myself a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. I don’t like how our government seems to take the money of these companies and turn a blind eye as they do what they want in pursuit of the almighty dollar. I support her endeavors working for the interests of the majority of people and not those few with the most money.

Golf clap.

Woah there. You’re using about 25% more of your brain than the rest of the internet. We’re gonna need you to tone that reasonability down a bit.

I look forward to setting up my next polyamorous network connection. I can wait for the commands nmcli con choke me daddy ens1 thrupple0

Ethernet speeds historically were measured in 10/100. In my past life I worked for an a small rural isp. And part of my learning I was taught that cat5 was 8 strands of wire, or 4 twisted pairs. I got very familiar with crimping patch cables. If one strand were cut a network card would negotiate down to its lowest speed and still work at 10mbps. Operating on 4 wire or two pairs. It’s possible with those numbers you had a bad connection, or a broken strand in the cable and it auto negotiated down to 10mbps. To this day I still crimp my own cables, and I own a cheap cable tester to make sure the crimps and cables are good.

I’ve had very bad luck with raspberry Pi’s and SDCards. They just don’t seem to last very long. I swapped to usb storage and things got somewhat better. I just had a usb drive die after 3 to 4 years of use. When I was still using SD it seemed like multiple times a year. Heat. Power loss, you can only punch holes in silicon so many times before it wears out. Whatever the reason.

My approach for this is configuration backup not the entire os. I think this approach is better for when it’s time to upgrade the os or migrate to a new system.

For my basic Pi running WireGuard and DNS, I keep an archive of documentation on steps to reconfigure the system after a total loss. Static configs are backed up once, and If there are critical configuration items that change then I back those up weekly. I’ve got two systems (media related servers, not Pi’s) that I keep ansible playbooks to configure 90% of the system from scratch so it’s as hands off as it can be.
