I used to swear by wired headphones.

The audio quality, not needing batteries, the simplicity.

But then I got a decent pair of Bluetooth headphones and I discovered how much wires got in my way. I discovered that the audio quality coming out of phones were garbage regardless of connection type, and the headphones I got would last weeks of daily use on one charge.

Plus I would get a more water proof phone, and I would never have to worry about the headphone jack breaking inside of the port, or my headphones going flying off because I walked past a knob of whatever at just the right height to ruin my day.

I still want phones to have the ports, but on mobile devices I’ll never use them. I just want others to be happy too.

I remember downloading a mod for San Andreas, as I wanted to try out a sick motorcycle.

I remember spawning it in and my laptop nearly imploded as the number of polygons it had to render quadrupled.

I was a sad kid.

Oh really? Do you happen to have a link I’m curious.

That’s a possibility, though that usually means they would need to run wires in a strange way to power the units. I haven’t seen a median used in this way but it’s possible.

One of those guards is on the wrong side of the road.

Speak for yourself, I bike with a bag on my head to capture my emissions.

I’m honestly amazed that I haven’t succumbed and downloaded it.

Someone told me that they no longer fold their clothes when they put them away.

To me, it’s anathema.

What do you think?

It’s really weird reading an article that so precisely nails so many of my experiences with both games.

Quite similar to how beholders reproduce.

They have a nap, dream about a beholder (besides themselves*) and poof, one is born.

*I’m not sure if this is the case.

Do you not feel the itch of curiosity?

Reddit is not even safe anymore. I googled some products and tagged Reddit on the end and the first result was someone who had made a bot that just collects referral links into a big list and names it “top ten x of 2023”.

Taking a look at the history and it’s just thousands of links.

The internet has shit itself to death.

There’s a lot of government positions that require just high school, and pay more than typical.

But they’re annoying to apply to, and often can make you wait a long time. Look into your cities job bank, same with state/province and/or federal level.

Does anyone happen to know what the status is in Canada?

Just bought this book, it’s next on my list.

I like to think literally a maid, only because that’s funnier.

I find grinds aren’t too bad.

But the grind itself has to be fun. Diablo has a gameplay problem that makes the game much less fun, and in turn, their grind sucks.

Having read both, The Martian was very much a book I just simply put down (I lost so many hours of sleep because of it) whereas this one seemed decent.

If you liked the Martian, you’ll like this one probably. There definitely was some weak moments, and the science portion, while crunchy sometimes, didn’t hold up consistently.

Worth a read.

I still use Reddit for the small subreddits. Highly focused topics seems to be the only way Reddit is tolerable now.

I also just picked up reading again. Turns out part of my enjoyment of Reddit was reading comments and when that went to shit just reading books worked out for me. On my third book since the fiasco started.

Reasonable skepticism. I appreciate you.
