That’s even assuming the book you want is available and wasn’t a super limited printing that you couldn’t even begin to afford in the first place.

For anyone stumbling along. “Retina display” is their marketing speak for higher pixel density than “average”.

I would but I’m allergic 😭 to the shrimp, not the cesium just to be clear

Eh, the odds of actually colliding with anything is low enough. Plus the night sky would probably be even more breathtaking. I’m in

This feels like Halo Infinite all over again.
Oh, you have identical specs and built at the exact same time? Yeah, half of you are going to randomly have issues and half won’t. Enjoy head casing about that.

That’s probably not the cause of the issues here though. Denuvo impacts game performance but not as badly as Borderlands 4 is seeing. The engine they chose has issues even on non denuvo games. It’s an unoptimized mess and then gearbox didn’t optimize any further themselves.

Or an Expedition 33 new game+ This is truly a great year for games, current post aside

There’s a fun Harry Potter (fuck this author too) play, called Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic, tat is from the point of view of a random Hufflepuff student.
- Comment on I just beat Bloodborne for the first today, and it's probably one of the best playthroughs of a video game that i have ever had and stories of one as well. 2 weeks ago:
I just had that with Expedition 33. Every twist had me going “what?” And getting those perfect dodges was chef’s kiss

With new water heaters yes, do your maintenance. Old water heater that came with the place and hasn’t been touched in years? Yeah, the advice is to actually not flush it because you don’t know what cracks that gunk might be blocking up and it will be more likely to fail on you sooner.

Horned Demon and Marco Polo jokes aside, I say run with it. As much as millennials get crapped on for choosing weird names they’ve at least suck to it and I’d hope it would make room for more names. It has meaning to you, go for it.
Every kid will get picked on for their name at some point.

- Comment on xkcd #3138: Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure 3 weeks ago:
Eh, not a problem at all. You can’t make it look exactly like my other three and I make sure to use the same tape measure throughout a project, really after the first couple cuts I’m not even using it I’m using the cut pieces to measure against.
I don’t care what the number actually is, just that I can mark in the same spot consistently.

Google has actually released a software update to try to prevent the modem battery issue and are replacing the battery in affected models for free. Rare easy win from a megacorp
- Comment on As a treat 4 weeks ago:
It’s the salt mostly. Especially with indoor cats who often don’t get wet food and so are on the under hydrated side of things as they tend to not drink as much as they should.
Technically any without garlic or onion is safe for them to have a tiny bit as a treat but it’s so incredibly easy to overdo that it’s just safer to not give it to them.
Too much nitrates or nitrites is bad for cats yes, but they’d have to eat an excessive amount for it to be a concern and again the excess salt would be a bigger issue first.

I can (potentially) explain the double bagged paper. Growing up in the South that was the de-facto cooling rack, no wires racks. They were cut open, laid on any flat surface, them cookies or cakes or what have you were laid on them to cool. They’d wick away moisture or grease and be easy clean up.
Free with groceries and if they were double bagged you had enough for a double batch of chocolate chip cookies while also usually guaranteeing (usually) the bag wouldn’t split from condensation or something before you got home.

They’re talking about bubble foam tea. Sure that was a thing but at least in any part of America I’ve been in, boba tea and bubble tea from the start was the tapioca pearl drink.
Some people get this purist notion that things can only ever be one thing and screech if someone uses a term differently.
- Comment on Informative review 5 weeks ago:
The “bubbles” refers to the little edible tapioca balls at the bottom.
The name started as “bo ba”, the Chinese name for the tapioca pearls, and the west turned it into “bubble”. No idea what the original Chinese means, could just be bubble.
It’s often a sweeter milk tea (though pretty much anything goes these days)

That’s a good point for the future, but I meant on my Pixel 6a and I bought it directly through Google.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 5 weeks ago:
That’s yet another trend that’s made me less and less interested in things. You’re not wrong though and will likely be my fall back

I’ve been hemming and hawing. Switched to Linux pretty much full time for my PC, this will push me 100% into FOSS phone. Over half my apps I use would get blocked
