I’ll second the GOAT.
It’s funny, Mario 3 is one of those games I take for granted. I grew up playing it (my older brother had it) and it was sort of like a baseline for me. I never really appreciated it for what it was until I became an adult.

Pretty much all the Bowser themes slapped.
Mario 3 (my personal favorite)

Glad to be of help! Just keep an eye on it and remove/reapply if needed.

The minute this becomes popular, there will be an influx of people who offer this service. And some of them will privately report you to your boss instead, and they’ll get paid twice the usual rate while you’ll get a pink slip.

I mean, a show like Star Trek couldn’t possibly do well pushing a progressive worldview, right? Definitely it would have to appeal to
bigotsconservatives, or it would tank. No progressiveness on Star Trek, no sir./s

There’s a possibility, but I don’t see any practical implications.

- Comment on Mini pc for home server? 3 days ago:
If you want something more capable that will handle more experimentation, go for the mini PC. If you know exactly what you want to host and you want to prioritize low power consumption, the pi might be a better choice.

IT’S A TRAP
THEY’RE LURING YOU INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY
AFTER A MONTH THE VEGGIES HIT THE FLOOR
More seriously, you have a great take on it and I genuinely hope it lasts! My kids’ tastes seem to drastically shift over time. For a week one will eat nothing but carrots and quinoi, then (once you’ve amply stocked up on both) they won’t touch them. But YMMV.
Fruits are generally easier. My youngest would devour an entire cantaloupe in one sitting if we let him.

I run CachyOS, it works great for me. It’s not the easiest one, but I like the rolling release style and it’s by far the fastest distro I’ve used (cold boots to gnome desktop in maybe 10 seconds).

It’s less bleeding and more leaking, computers don’t normally have liquids except for heat mitigation and what’s with the stake and rope?
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 1 week ago:
I imagine it’s a luxury from the days before our current standards of climate control.
Imagine you don’t have a central heating unit–you’ve got fireplaces, and that’s it. You wake up, and it’s a brisk 8°C in your house. Staying in your nice cozy bed might not sound so bad.
It may also be a leftover thing from days when people couldn’t afford to stay in bed in the morning. Only the rich could afford to lounge around that way, so having that once a year would have been a way to treat someone like royalty.

- Comment on Cracked shower drain 1 week ago:
Also worth noting, not all caulk is created equal. Get some that is specifically for shower/tub use.
I just did a bathroom reno, and yeah, the drains are often screwed on. But to change it, you’d need access to it, which means either going through the wall behind the tub drain, or going up from underneath (depends on the type of tub). If you happen to have a closet or something on the other side of the wall, you can see if there’s already an access panel you can open to get a better idea of how hard it’ll be to fix.
- Comment on Cracked shower drain 1 week ago:
It looks like the drain piece is an ABS piece that is glued directly to the drain pipe. Unfortunately, if you don’t have access under the tub, it’ll probably be difficult to replace. You’ll probably need to call a plumber and coordinate with your downstairs neighbors to get that fixed.
In the mean time, yeah throw some caulk or something on the crack to keep water from seeping down. I don’t recommend JB Weld, as it will probably be more difficult to remove when you want to fix it properly.

Can confirm, I have an EQ12 I’m using as an HTPC. Performance is great and sound is minimal (aside from coming out of suspend, the fans fire up for a moment).
