Emphasis on nice. I would much rather receive a single pair of nice merino wool socks or something with a neat design than a 10 pack of Walmart white crew socks.

House Biscuit. We do not preorder.

Journiv has got me to try journaling seriously for the first time. I’m a bit envious of those able to do so naturally, I’ve been forgetting to make daily entries more often than not

One of our recent council meetings had a developer wanting to rezone a lot to medium density but needed a variance to allow for less parking given the size of the parcel.

Council unanimously approved the rezoning citing the need for more medium density projects, but were completely divided on the vote for the parking variance. They could not fathom that a developer would know best how many parking spaces would be needed to still be functional and profitable. All they wanted was to reduce the requirement from 1.5 spaces per unit down to 1.25 spaces per unit. A decrease of like 9 spaces total.

Luckily the variance was eventually approved but not before a lot of debate and grandstanding about what people are supposed to do with their cars.

Biking through unplowed snow sucks, but it’s hardly impossible. The worst part about it is having to deal with traffic at the same time

You’ve received a tonne of responses and I’m not even sure if this has been posted by someone else already, but there’s a YouTube video called “How to Radicalize a Normie” which goes over at length exactly how the alt right gets its hooks into young people and why it’s so hard for them to break out.

What’s your process for running the unpacker executable? Maybe it depends on the game, but I set up a wineprefix through Lutris and always seem to run into issues getting it to complete properly without any unpacking errors.

I was shocked to see no mention of Ori in any of the comments here before I realized you had already recommended it in the OP. I have no issues with seconding that, the Ori series is really good.

I’ve been using Actual for a while now, probably close to a year. Before that I was on YNAB, which isn’t FOSS but does have a huge library of material for how to make your budget work for you instead of the other way around.

I got off YNAB after they kept raising their subscription fees for seemingly no reason. Actual is not nearly as feature-rich but you can’t really argue with the price.

This is a big pet peeve of mine and it does such a disservice to socially anxious extroverts

Bejeweled Classic is the app you want, at least on Android. The app itself is free and then you can pay the $3.99 or whatever it is to remove ads permanently.

Standing up to, or standing up for?

Price of gas just went up overnight which got me thinking how silly it is that gasoline is priced by supply/demand when everybody needs it and isn’t going to buy less of it because it’s too expensive.

More specifically, we force it to undergo phase changes under different pressures, and in doing so it absorbs/releases latent heat in the air. It’s converting latent heat to sensible heat.

Which is exactly why we should have 30 km/h speed limits. The difference in survivability is massive at lower speeds.

To paraphrase Penn Jillette, I rape as many people as I want every single day. And that number is zero.

What about their promise to deliver a finished product?
