This 8 digit peasant acknowledges the even more advanced age of my 7 digit elder. o7

Even things that don’t use plastic packaging have plastics in their packaging - airtight seals on the inside of jar lids and the coating on the inside of soup cans come to mind. Can definitely reduce plastic consumption but I don’t think going plastic free is possible unless you’re raising your own food and the seeds/feed also come in plastic free packaging…

Yeah we mostly want one for the space savings and our constant forgetting of moving stuff to the dryer, think it’d be nice to just throw in one machine and come back to finished laundry later.

Can’t help with the towels sticking issue, but how do you like the unit? Wife and I are considering getting one of those GE heat pump combo units this year.

I’m not that guy, but I don’t think so. The trend will likely be that we get to the point where we render and display in such a high resolution that you can’t even see pixels anymore. We’re getting there already with smaller 4k displays where turning on AA doesn’t have an appreciable difference in 4k native rendering.

Nah. My older 1080p stuff remains, but I just do 4k only now. Media server is powerful enough to transcode to 1080 on the fly for any device that can’t handle 4k, or for slower network conditions.

I use Linux Mint, mostly because I’m familiar with it. If I was to redo it, I would likely just run Debian.

Hell yeah that looks delicious, throw that on a steak and lets eat.

Considering they learned nothing from their mistakes with Global Agenda and went on to fuck up Ascend, I’m expecting them to fuck this up in new and exciting ways all over again.

I like SearXNG

“Aww, Thank You So Much.”

I got an aftermarket 9 cell battery on Amazon for like $30, mine has 8 hours of battery life at idle now in Mint with the brightness all the way up. Highly recommended. Three SSDs, 16GB of RAM, but otherwise stock T420.

Agreed. To me, the ringing is just what silence sounds like now after 15 years of the ringing. Mine isn’t very bad, so I only really hear it in quiet spaces, but I protect my hearing as much as possible now to prevent it from getting worse.

Dunno if it’s been delisted since, but I installed it on all my Rokus and Roku TVs a few weeks back without issue.

Dang, still no co-op. Back to waiting I go.

If you want some variety, I played a ton of PowerWash Simulator when I had COVID and it was fantastic. Just chill, not much thought required, and clean stuff with a pressure washer progression system.

When I bought my PS5 a few months ago I considered waiting for a PS5 Slim in the hopes that it would be less fuckin ugly. Glad I didn’t wait, because they managed to make it worse by basically slapping the disc drive to the side.

Phantasy Star Online. They’ve tried to release sequels over the years - Universe, PSO2 - and failed miserably at capturing what made Episodes 1 and 2 great. There’s no way they would be able to just update the graphics without trying to “improve” something in the gameplay, or changing the loot system, or adding MTX, and would just fuck it up again.

PSO is so good that even now, 23 years after it launched on Dreamcast, there’s still hundreds if not thousands of people like me that still play regularly. Whether that’s offline on their GameCube or online in Blue Burst on PC on a server like Ephinea.
