Yeah, the first time I played Magic the Gathering with a friend’s husband was in a 4 player Commander game. I had let kept less aggressive and made it look like I wasn’t too much of a threat, all the while holding a combo that could deal quite a few points of damage, but would sacrifice a lot to do it. I waited until just the right moment, the turn before I was about to be defeated by the last standing player who was doing really well. And I won. 😁
Yeah I like that almond milk is not too much flavor. It means it doesn’t distract from the flavor of the thing it’s added to, only changes the texture and smooths out bitterness and other unpleasant flavor components like with tea and coffee. I prefer to get good tea or coffee and not add anything, but that stuff is expensive, so I get middle of the road quality and add almond milk to smooth it out but still keep some of the highlights.
Oat milk is good for the really mediocre stuff, though. It smooths it out a lot and adds some flavor. And I do like oats a lot in general. But a lot of times the oat milk is too gritty or too heavy. I found that making my own oat milk does eliminate those problems, but takes more effort and doesn’t last long if I make a lot of it at once to reduce the effort.
Depends. Is it a novel with a single entry? Is it a series of books with a lot of emphasis on world development? Is it an action video game franchise with little plot or lore? Or a video game franchise that prides itself on story? Is it set in the current world or in a wildly different fantasy/sci-fi setting?
In general, it’s rare for an action videogame or book to convert well into a series because it requires lots of writing by writers who didn’t invent the world and, vice versa, it’s rare for a highly detailed fantasy world to work well in a movie because there’s not enough time to do world building. Not saying it’s impossible and there are great examples of both, but generally those are the ones that don’t work out.
Unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened oat milk is second
You’re not going to get carb free, but low sugar.
I don’t always binge watch shows. And I’m not going to rematch all the episodes every time I come back to a show. And as an ADHD person I appreciate the reminders of what happened.
And, though I don’t know about this one in particular, just because you pay not to have personalized ads, doesn’t mean you’re paying not to have your data tracked and sold by this company or to not have tracking cookies added to your browser by them that other sites can use to target ads to you.
It’s just that they won’t use the information they collect or buy or get from partners’ tracking cookies or advertising IDs already on your system to target the ads you see while on their site and logged in.
You’d need to be able to replace the coatings on them. The scratch would likely be the easier part. The coatings might be hard to get. Most sold commercially are not as permanent and industrial ones are either very proprietary or require expensive equipment that wouldn’t be worth it for a one pair of lenses.
Usually only in an emergency when stuff freezes up and I can’t use the mouse to control windows anymore.
Amazon sends me open, broken, defective, and/or outright used items all the time these days. So I have a lot of returns, and if I get two in a row, I take a refund instead because their whole inventory of that item is probably too polluted to get a new one. If only there were any other ways to get some things, I’d quit buying from them, but with the lack of small specialty stores, even in cities, it’s so hard to find so many things in physical stores anymore, and smaller online stores can’t compete, especially for items that need to be tried a lot to find the right size or type.
Spam/scam mostly.
When planning a party, I assume about 1/3 of the people I invite will RSVP and only 3/4 of them will show. I plan with that in mind. I also explicitly state the plans around food, drink, etc., and if they should come hungry or just expect snacks. And I make sure that I understand what other events or competing parties might be going on to help adjust expectations. Also, planning an annual/regular thing so that people get used to it being something they do every year helps, but it takes a couple of times to get it kickstarted.
Since I started doing that, I’ve had a lot fewer disappointing events. Event planning is a lot of work.
Probably because when he was a child and asked for help, he was told to “man up”. So now that he’s a man, asking for help would mean he’s not a man.
If you’re using a recent version of Chrome, Google has stunted the capabilities of many ad blockers. Suggest using another browser and/or using something that catches this stuff before it gets to your browser like a properly configured pihole. Otherwise, configure your ad blockers more aggressively, especially for sites that are less likely to screen their ads.
I think most devs even only have worked in software companies that sell software where devops isn’t as critical and complex since there’s not “production” environments. When you work for a company who makes software for themselves and/or hosts software from other companies themselves, devops is a much bigger deal. Even moreso if it’s a heavily regulated industry like healthcare. Most other companies don’t spend much on devops or even often make the developers do that work themselves.
My Facebook and Instagram are now >3/4 stuff that I didn’t follow. Not all are explicitly advertisements, but they aren’t things I wanted to see. That’s why I’m moving to federated services. Just wish I could convince more of my friends and family to move over. I use Lemmy as a replacement for Reddit so it’s more widely social, but the other stuff I only really used for friends, family, or special interest groups.
COVID, MAGA, Q Anon, support by poor people for defunding of schools and infrastructure even as bridges collapse and water systems are becoming poisonous while supporting building new tactical nuclear weapons that the country doesn’t even have a use for unless the intend to start nuking Mexico which would mean more refugees, not fewer…etc.
Clutch must be depressed on most modern cars or it won’t start, though it’s technically not required if in neutral. And best to depress the brake pedal as well, again, many modern cars won’t even start if you don’t.
And although it doesn’t matter what gear the shifter is in when the clutch is depressed, put it in neutral, so that if you accidentally let off the clutch after starting it, you don’t move, grind gears, or lurch and stall which puts strain on the gearbox and brakes. I’ve done that many times before I started checking the shifter first. Many people put the shifter in first gear when parked as an engine brake in case the parking brake fails.
It absolutely should be talked about. All events in all of the world should be talked about as long as it involves factual information, which can sometimes be hard to come by these days . It’s only extremists trying to create false narratives who would say otherwise. And mostly only because they don’t want you telling the people they control the truth or they’re so dependent using the lie to their advantage that even they don’t want to know the truth.
Yeah I switched to a new keyboard app. Seems like it needs some tweaking. Lol.
