Can you share the pattern? I've never done this, but would like to try and this is sweet!

Despite his appearance and delivery, i always thought Norm was the most "punk rock" comedian. He actually stood for something, stood by his friends and was true to himself. I did not always agree with his bits... But i never thought he was outright hateful. I think he tried to touch on the humorous or more absurd elements of society, with his commentary. Which was mostly the stuff i liked least... However, i believe that while Norm may not have understood some of these things, he wasn't intolerant of them.

Norm was about as big of an anti-celebrity, celebrity as i can think of. He always seemed eager to be silly and to laugh, and to love his small group of friends. I'm fairly cemented as being left of center, and i adored Norm.

Wow this looks terrible

Check out "project farm" on YouTube. He has an excellent channel and had vids for puncture repair kits, portable compressors and jump packs. He is great.

Thank God... Or the EU regulations... Whichever.

Its nuts that during the Obama admin, all anyone cared about was the threat of zero privacy. Now everyone in the US has surrendered to it, because our politicians have sold our digital privacy rights to the tech companies.

My opinion of the show in general is wildly unpopular. I thought it was terrible from ep1. I thought it was rife with bad/terrible acting AND writing. I didnt finish the first season until years later, when i gritted my teeth to watch through it. I managed to arrest my hater nature, and began to sort of enjoy it for what it was... then the terrible last two seasons happened.

I do believe at the end of the day, that the more terrible aspects of the show were due to first it being an unknown entity.. and the network went cheap on the first couple of seasons to hedge their bets. lmost all of the rest of it was due to D&D.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided I would, against my better judgement give HOTD a shot. It was not as bad, but the effects were so terrible I turned it off. How a network can murder a golden goose twice over is past me.

I know not many people are as critical as I am of this stuff... I dont begrudge other people enjoying the shows. Its just not for me.

I actually do not hate this... however the idea of getting home to change out of this cracks me up. The image of trying to fold it or hang it could be an SNL skit.

I bought an Infinite Discs Slinger... It is a sling pack, not a backpack, but it has worked for me so far. I would probably prefer a backpack of some sort, but I dont have a ton of discs, and I am a big dude... so I feel like a backpack would be a waste of money, since the straps are never comfortable across my broad shoulders.

The Slinger is 25 bucks on Amazon, and while it lacks bells and whistles.. ti will carry a bottle of water, has a zip pocket for keys and wallet or whatever.. a mesh pouch on the outside i pack three or four discs in, then room for another nine or so inside. It also comes with a clip for a towel, or whatver you want to hang off of it.

" Fran Drescher! I place you in charge of SAG. The studios are yours to squeeze, as I promised. I want you to squeeze and squeeze and squeeze! Give me fair contracts! Drive them. Drive them into utter submission! Do not show the slightest pity or mercy! Never stop. Go. Go! Show no mercy! "

Man i used to love KRS... But that MFer is off the tracks crazy.

I turned off cloud saves for it. It was murdering my patience when a friend would ask me to play another game while I was in a bg session. I cant figure out if it uploads ALL saves, or just the most recent. I quick save a ton, so i guess i could be to blame... But since im only playing on one pc, and not on my deck, i dont need the cloud save atm.

My opinion is that Odetta makes the next book hard to read, but the next book is really strong... So it maybe worth the trip. Imo King isnt the best author cover to cover... But his highlights are undeniable. So id urge you to keep going.

It makes sense to me! Thanks for the explanation!

Why have you decided to stop with an annual? I kinda considered it, then was like "well, its just another annual vax, why would i get one but not the other?" My mom also said she was ok not getting another one... then she got it about a month ago, and said that changed her mind. She was miserable with it, and would not miss one going forward. lol. I guess I am kind of landing on the idea of if it gives me a boost in fighting it off, if i contract it.. i am good with gettin the jab.

In case any of this looks like I am arguing with your decision, I am definitely not!!!

Conservatives everywhere are up in arms that THEY had to pay their loans, but the corpses dont have to. "nobody wants to work" they collectively mutter.

Thanks! I will check him out!

Thanks!

Same... Imo he is the face of quackery.

I don't hate anything about it really. I do think they should probably nerf the shit out of resilience however. Lol

I also strongly wish they would just add RJ randomly to maps, regardless of whether there are 1 or 2 bosses present.

Early Access

I watched end to end, a hearing that could really alter our lives as we know it... and I couldnt stop thinking about was "I bet Burchett is impossible to be around." and "The lack of animation on Luna's face is either due to gallons of botox, or she is an alien in our midst."

Edit : removed a typo

I am still skeptical over all of this. It is just my nature. I am in the "I want to believe" camp, but just cant bring myself to believe it until I see it. I believe Fravor saw a tic-tac shaped object that defied physics. I believe we see UAPs all the time. I am not so sure that we havent developed some technology somewhere, that allows us to do unimaginable things like these craft have done. I know the arguments as to why it makes no sense that they are where they are doing what they are doing... I get the counters to what I think... but it doesnt make me stop thinking that it is most likely what it is.

Grusch (sp) is not Fravor. If he is being honest, great... that is great. But there is something in his body language i didnt like. I feel like he enjoys the spotlight to tell his story, more than he enjoys tellling his story.

To answer your question though, lets just say for a moment that what he is saying is true... that we have recovered craft, and some contained non human organics, and that they are aliens. I dont thikn we hear anything fast. I think there will continue to be meetings that get hushed up, while they formulate a system of responses. The public wil be the last to know.

Also in regards to this being a smokescreen for the Hunter Biden garbo... lets not forget that this could also be a smokescreen for the torrent of Trump indictments and legal woes. It seems like this distraction serves both sides equally... which to me, makes it all more of a viable diversion.

I dont think anything is necessary, other than upgrading your storage. I considered an SD card, and decided the price break was just better overall for an ssd. I got a western digital 512 for like 55 bucks I think.

The hardest part of the swap was getting the case apart. I did watch a couple of videos for tips before I did it though... it made it pretty painless. the biggest pro tip was to start the separation of the case by one of the trigger buttons, and just run a credit card along it to pop the tabs. Another suggestion is if you dont have a set of tiny screwdrivers, i would recommend getting a cheapo kit. I had one I made due with, but even it was slightly too big for the task.

Like I said, I would watch a couple of vids so you know what to do as you proceed, how to flash the new ssd with the os, etc. It really isnt that hard. I am not too terribly of a tech savvy person and was able to do it.

I just got the bottom dollar deck, and it came with a case btw. I bought a cheap dock off of Aliexpress and it works fine. I think I paid under $25 for it.. i am certain you could probably get the same one on amazon for ~the same price. I definitely wouldnt buy the valve dock. If you dont have a controller, the world is your oyster. I bought a cheapo $30 bitdo.

I think the brand of screen protector I bought was Ivoler, and it was a very easy install... it came with a "frame" to square the glass install.

Good luck, i have been enjoying mine.

Same... It is definitely a better game without it.

Thanks everyone for their responses! I eventually pulled the trigger on a $29 8bitdo wired/wireless controller!

That is correct... Or at least it was as of last night. Hey the message it's removed, but it remains.

I dont love endless corporate mergers, but Sony removed about exclusivity from this particulare one, made me want this to happen.

I was looking at this game, and it was what literally made me pull the trigger on a steamdeck... It should be arriving today, and i hope to have the ssd swapped, reimaged, and get that installed so i can play some this evening!

Ill be getting mine later this week, and that screw issue is not what i wanted to hear.

I just bought the base version, and it should be here next week. I bought a 20 dollar docking station from AliExpress, a 54 dollar 512gb ssd from amazon, and an aftermarket antiglare/screen protector. I am still well under what I would have spent for the highest tier.

Ive been wanting a mobile gaming platform, and i could no longer deny the steamdeck. It beings the steamgames i would like to play from a couch and adds the options for emulators my pi couldnt handle. I also feel like the next gen will have a mich higher price point, as well as more options that would only range higher and higher... So i figured now is as good of a time as any.

I think meta will dominate the space that federates with it. Hopefully none of my instances will do that... And I will be unaffected.

Lol

"Joerg Arnu’s love of Area 51 saw him move to the Nevada desert and build the world’s most comprehensive database about the mysterious military base. Ever since his homes were raided by federal agents eight months ago, he’s been trying to figure out why. "

My guess is his being raided had something to do with the "most comprehensive database" about a military base.

I thought id be a drilling fan, but i have hardly used it. However, im more of a bush wookie, so tend to go for scope and a pistol. If i were more of a pusher, i think the driller would be the beans.

As prophesied, the choke beetle has been very handy ... Especially as chaotic as the post patch event maps have been.

I feel like this, coupled with bot activity, has ruined the web for me. I find myself widely using it as much as i used to. Nothing is reliable really... Most review sites are just mindlessly strung together aggregates of other review sites, which are mindlessly strung together aggregates of other review sites (repeat ad infinitum). There seem to be increasing numbers of YT channels that are just bad ai generated scripts, read by a generated voice.

The signal is increasingly just washed out by the noise.

Im getting into DCC and i hate that there seems to be only two types of scenarios : gonzo and more gonzo. I modify every system i play, so the base rules are what they are... Id just like to see some published scenarios that are more down to earth. Please note, i dont begrudge people who want that! I love it that its there for them. Just wish there were more that took the foot off the gas a bit.

Abbot reposting from the "Dunning Kruger Times" is so rich.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion per say, but i get it. I didn't know what pho was the first time I tried it, and i was expecting something more ramen like. I also did not care for it... But a few months after that i found myself craving it one day... And now i love it. That being said, i can definitely see how it would be overhyped by people. It is not an especially amazing food really... But it is a food i quite enjoy, especially in the winter. Props to you for continuing to try it.

Yeah, that's a lemmy.world problem, however i get your meaning. I figure that are going to be growing pains over the next few months. This is one of em!

This might sound crazy, but i am just using the website via Firefox on my phone. Jerboa wasnt doing it for me, and someone recommended just using the website... I prefer it over jerboa. I imagine with all the development going on, there will be something better showing up, but until it does, I'm just going old school.
