Yup, sometime in the next year or two I’ll get laid off, then I’ll just mooch off my spouse.

There’s a saying you might want to get familiar with

“If everywhere you look, all you see is assholes, maybe you’re the asshole.”

D) Move manufacturing and other dirty processes off planet and live here.

According to a US Army study, Iron and Tungsten could create galvanic action, causing both materials to degrade if in contact.

So at first glance, it seems like this combo wouldn’t last as long as it could with just Tungsten.

If you use a web email account, just create a draft email and don’t send it. Then log into your email account on the other device and read it there.

I open the picture on my computer, then screenshot it before uploading.

That removes any association with the original picture without relying on any exif stripping that might miss a hash or weird embedded info.

Just like anything else, one chunk at a time.

You can start with a story and build the game off of that, or you can start with the gameplay and build up from there.

Sometimes you just have to start, and see where it goes. Pick an engine and start building something, don’t be afraid to throw it all out and start over from what you’ve learned so far. Make a game that has some of the elements you want to use and try it out, then throw it out and make a different game with other bits. Start small and work up.

The biggest problem is thinking it has to be perfect to move on to the next part.

You can commission art, or you can buy some models and just use those.

You can also just build everything from the ground up, but it would be hard to do that for your first project.

If you are reborn as a new person with none of your previous memories, then does it matter that it’s still “you”?

We already have the only one we need.

There are quite a few anecdotal cases of people dying shortly after retirement, or shortly after a spouse dies. Death is complicated and sometimes people “hold on” for weird and unexplained reasons.

People in terminal condition have a habit of dying when loved ones are out of the room.

Does Jimmy Carter feel like this election is something major he needs to accomplish before he goes? Maybe. Or maybe he just keeps busy with all of his volunteer work and other philanthropy, which is keeping him around.

Maybe he’s just one of the lucky ones that happens to be healthy and sharp at 100 for reasons we don’t know.

I like to pick 1901, so it looks like a 123 year old is playing The Witcher 3.

Well you certainly accomplished a lot. I’m proud of you.

Outdated advice (unless buying older stuff) Brother has enshittified like the rest.

I worked retail for several years. After a while it just becomes normal. It helps a LOT if you’re actually walking around and not just standing in one spot.

I can walk for a few miles without sitting down without being uncomfortable at all, but standing in one spot for 15 minutes bothers my feet.

That’s an interesting question to ponder.

That and planned parenthood.

If there are two orgs that care deeply about privacy, but do a lot of good in the world, those would be it.

Yes, some games just let you select which controller is which, some of them you have to manually set it in the Steam Input settings before you launch the game.

The ONLY problem I have had with this, is the controller on the system itself defaults as controller 1, so SOME games it takes a little fiddling to use different controllers. But I have done this and it works great.

I’ve used a handful of different USB to HDMI docks, and I haven’t had any problems with any of them. I just use an anker dock that supports gigabit ethernet, 100W power passthrough, and HDMI, and it works just fine.

You can use just about any controllers using Bluetooth, I really like the wireless XBox controllers (only supported over Bluetooth) for this. But I’ve also used the Switch controllers and they work fine.

It’s really just a slightly expensive setup for what it is, but it’s also very portable, so…

Call the fire department, they have detectors that they can use to look for gas leaks and other things that can set off a detector.

You can also call your gas provider. One of those two should be able to track it down, it could be a lot of things, but two different smoke detectors going off in the same location is a huge red flag.

Best case, you have something kicking up fine dust, worst case, you have a smouldering electric fire in your wall somewhere.

Don’t panic, but also do not ignore this.

Should make that screen the first slide of the PowerPoint
