I used to work for this guy…this doesn’t surprise me as something he would do.

I think at a certain point, a break from the game is warranted before going back in to grind and be specced correctly for a difficult area/boss

Malileth, the black blade in Eden Ring.

I eventually had to summon co-op players in and just sit in the corner and let them do the work. Fuck that boss…

This comes in handy

Yes, our main floor living room doesn’t have a TV. Instead we have a piano, guitar, and high end speakers hooked up to a vinyl player with a collection that I’m constantly growing (probably to my wife’s chagrin). It’s my way of putting my phone out of reach and disconnecting for a minute while The Armed yells at me.

Already been done! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8yW5cyXXRc

I was part of this recall, bought the 552 back during the pandemic. So I only qualified for a $50 voucher towards a new model, which happened to release at the same time of this recall announcement. Looking further into the recall details, the total unita of this affected model sold were 3,844,200. Of that 3+ million units, there were 350 reported incidents, 111 of which resulted in an injury.

I’ll take my chances with these dumbbells I’ve been using for the past 5 years rather than them trying to upsell me on the new model.

Lightroom Classic. I know, I know; Adobe evil.

I tried learning DarkTable, but with a demanding 3 year old and other life things going on, I just don’t have it in me to learn a new workflow and I want to keep up with one of the few hobbies I have left.

Baldurs Gate 3.

I’ve tried starting it up like 3 or 4 times but I just find the combat to be too slow and difficult. I constantly get my ass handed to me and I just wasn’t enjoying the progression. The most recent time I was save scumming but even that wasn’t helping me progress quickly enough Tried bumping it down to easy but even that didn’t help. In general I just didn’t have the patience for it.

I liked the story and the visuals. It’s just the combat mechanics were what turned me off.

Have you checked if your local area is on another channel besides the default LongFast?

For my area, most of Northern Georgia/Atlanta is on MediumFast and there’s a good bit of nodes and participation on that.

I remember my friend bringing over his Xbox and playing Halo for the first time. I was constantly looking down at the ground while he was pistol sniping me across the map. Figured it out eventually.

Heh yeah I went down the rabbit hole last night and stumbled upon his video. Always liked his content, his recent videos as well as his music back in the 2010s.

For us if was usually held during the last week of elementary school before summer break. It was a nice way to close out the year by doing this outside.

Yeah that’s kind of what I was getting at. The amount of energy required would be too large and impracticable/impossible to be leveraged in a portable form factor for use in the field, such as the video example.

Okay I’m interested. Is this theoretically possible? What does one need to counter something like this?

Reason is because the desktop version of YouTube is (still mostly? I think it’s depends on the content) using client side ad serving. On the iOS and Android app, you are getting server side ad serving, meaning the content and ads are coming from the same CDN address. So if you were to block the ad manifest address in Pi-Hole you’d also be blocking the content.

Pi-Hole only really works in a client side served world. Server side it’s harder if not impossible to get around. Server side implementations are more expensive to deploy, so that’s why it’s not as universal.

It’s not clear to me exactly how New pipe and Vanced get around it, but I’m assuming it’s just a browser wrapper?

Is this why my work phone email hasn’t updated since yesterday? I was too lazy to go to my work laptop, so just decided to sleep all day instead.

I keep holding out hope that 2ndhandrubbersuit.com will make me rich.

The price doesn’t turn me off. But I’m very happy with my Steam Deck OLED. If Nintendo ever releases an OLED version, I’ll consider it for the Nintendo exclusives, but right now there isn’t a compelling reason. I barely pick up my Switch 1 anymore.

I just replaced the flex tube p traps with regular p traps under all the sinks in the house we just purchased. Never did it before. Plumber wanted $600 to do 2 of them. No thanks!
