I’d be fine. If my email provider goes away, my troubles are over, because my email provider is me!

Apparently I am a Tumbleweed user in Fedora clothing.

M’lady.

Well that didn’t tell me a damn thing about the game.

I feel you. We have to come to terms with the fact that we are the minority in this country and that most of our fellow citizens value their own self interest more than the promise of a better system for all Americans.

It’s a bitter pill to swallow. You’re going to resent your fellow Americans. I know I do.

The fact is all we can do now is try to survive and protect those we care about. I think spending energy on contesting the results is a waste of time. If they cheated on a scale that gave them millions of extra votes somebody would have found evidence by now. Truth is we lost. And enough Americans are ok with a convict rapist pedophile narcissistic serial liar being in charge of the worlds most powerful military that we actually are powerless. So that energy should instead be spent on anything we can do to protect those the administration is going to target. Keep your head down. But don’t give up.

Do you by chance live near a pet graveyard built on Native American burial grounds?

Wool is fantastic for cold weather activity because unlike cotton it still insulates when wet.

I still wouldn’t want to RUN in wool, but it makes up some indispensable parts of my ski kit. And it has been tested!

You can get a thin smartwool or polypro base layer from a ski shop for like $50, even cheaper on sale but it’s the wrong time of year for that. That’s probably all you would need unless you’re planning on running in a blizzard.

When I was in the military a bazillion years ago, our winter running uniform was a beanie to add to our t-shirt and shorts. That was it. If it was SUPER cold (like, below freezing) we’d get to wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Then we’d go run 4 miles in the dark. If you got too cold you just had to run faster. :)

That’s how it was in my last house, washer was on the right… That’s how they had the hookups. Built in 2006.

I’ve been using Windows since 3.11. I’ve been supporting it for a career since 1998 (although almost entirely servers not desktops for the last 23 years). I’m tired of Microsoft’s bullshit.

On the other hand, my expertise at resolving their (server) bullshit over the last couple decades sure did pay well. So I guess it wasn’t all bad. But these days they can kiss my ass.

Yeah I haven’t completely gotten rid of Windows. I have it installed on another SSD but in the last 8 months since I switched, I’ve only needed it for Dyson Sphere Project (needed AutoHotKey), Deadlock (crashes too often in Linux and they ban you for 2 hours every time you leave a game), and whenever I feel like playing C&C Generals which for some reason runs like absolute dogshit on my Linux box despite everything else working fine.

But that Windows SSD has nothing, NOTHING on it but Steam games and Winamp. Microsoft isn’t getting access to a damn thing anymore when it comes to personal data. I’m tired of protecting myself against them, and FFS I’ve been a Microsoft backoffice sysadmin for over 25 years so I know how, but I’m still sick of it! I don’t even surf the web on that install. I play my game and when I’m done I boot back to Tumbleweed!

Gonna have to look into Lutris, I really like the idea of that sandboxing!

Worked on me, I finally switched (like, REALLY switched) on my primary PC this year after using Linux only for servers and hobby projects for a long time. My only regret is that I may not live long enough to have used Linux longer than I used Windows. I’d have to make it to my mid 80’s just to break even.

Valve gets all the credit. Gaming was the main thing holding me back all this time.

why is it normal for males to call women degrading things like “female”

I can’t even…

A girl did not write this anyway.

What happens when you call them?

That’s ok, I took away my support for Apex Legends many seasons ago!

Their anti cheat has always been a joke anyway.

It’s definitely a bug, I went and looked at my old achievements and even though all the ones from the base game are unlocked, almost all of them say 0.0% of players have that achievement.

That has to be bugged or they reset something with the new release. I did all the achievements years ago and the numbers were not that low.

Huh. Never had an issue even with nice shoes. I guess I just have slippery feet.

I actually do have some joint hyper mobility so maybe that’s why I don’t see the utility of it? Dunno.

I’m surprised so many people here use them. I remember seeing one in my grandparents house in the 80s and thinking it was a relic then.

From dress shoes to hiking boots to sneakers to you name it, I’ve never needed assistance getting a shoe on or off. What is their purpose?

Cosmopolitan magazine.

Infamous for being filled with garbage sex articles to further screw up women’s self esteem.

Wrong group of people to try to get a Cosmo article out of.
