Moonstone Island at the moment. And Baldurs Gate 3 because cross-play finally lets me party up with my husband.
- Comment on one of the really bad, annoying aspects of doing drugs is the lack of quality control 2 weeks ago:
Actually in the Netherlands there is a program is called “Drugs Information and Monitoring System” (DIMS). You can take your illegal drugs there without facing any type of punishment. They’ll test your drugs (usually) for free just to see if they contain what you’d expect. It’s a harm-reduction project.

1, 4, 9 or 19 depending on the temperature in the bedroom.

Thanks, I’ll look into that!

Good call. I have 2 hard dives and really thought that if I didn’t touch the win 11 drive it couldn’t possibly cause windows issues. Lol. Not making that mistake again.

Good for you! Nuking windows is indeed the end goal. Dual boot for me is a proof of concept as a step on the way.

I use a lot of adobe programs, like photoshop, illustrator and Lightroom. The standard MS office stuff, Dashlane for passwords and a bunch of games both via steam and the EA AppStore, some of which are windows only. Mind you, I know most if not all should work using wine (or similar) or have good alternatives. But I’d rather try first before nuking windows.

I tried setting up a dual boot Mint next to my Win 11 last night. Just so I can experiment with getting all the (replacement) programs of my Win 11 install to work on there… froze during install and was busy for hours getting my boot files for Win 11 back.
I’m not a technical genius or anything and now I’m scared to try again. I assume it’s way easier if I would just rip the bandaid off and do it in one go. Sadly too much relies on me still being able to use the computer close to the way I could before. Ah well. Another day, another chance to nuke the boot files.
- Comment on How Three Alleged Tesla Vandals Got Caught 2 months ago:
dont leave anything behind (especially anything from your own body) That line reminded that I heard at some point that it’s not uncommon for burglars to leave behind a pile of their own poop in a place they broke into. Don’t quite recall the explanation, but I think it was something about adrenaline and fight or flight. Can’t find the source right now but if I do I’ll post it.
- Comment on Get your new PebbleOS watch 2 months ago:
Honestly that is something I’ve always been ok with on Kickstarter. But it’s 50% scams now of people who never intended to deliver anything in the first place and Kickstarter is taking a lot of steps to protect the scammers in this. The only reason I ever back anything on there anymore is because of campaigns by companies I trust will at least try. I trust Pebble will try, so I personally am very tempted.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 2 months ago:
Fair enough. Turns out while every single news article reporting on the plant scream study talks about it as “pain”, the scientists themselves made no such claims. Merely calling it “stress” in plants.
Thank you for giving me a reasonable response that made me look into it further and educated me - the way I feel like would have been beneficial initially instead of what actually happened in that vegan group.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 2 months ago:
I got banned from a vegan group once because I responded to a person talking about how “non-vegans must be sociopaths to not care about all the suffering of animals as they scream in pain” or something like that. I responded with a link to a study that plants do in fact scream when being injured. We just can’t hear it. Apparently they didn’t like that, lol.
