There's a small board game, I think it's just called Knot Game, you get flashcards, two bits of string, and a timer. The flashcards help you learn a ton of knots and the timer allows you to challenge yourself.

 

It got opened and returned. No big deal except of course it was from a sex shop. So I hope someone enjoyed opening an unexpected package and finding what I bought.

I loved it, especially in imax. I think it was a good adaptation of the book even if I was thinking of plot point after plot point that would've been fun to see. Getting the nuking of the ice sheet to increase the blanketing of earth in the movie would've been good. I never go see movies opening day, this was worth it.

The reason I got a cd burner was the frustration of dealing with Bluetooth in my car. I got a Bluetooth capable, simple, CD compatible head unit. The best part about using a CD is it begins immediately when the car starts, versus fumbling with a phone. Though swapping CDs obviously isn't as great as using digital / streaming.

I haven't been able to find some of this in years :( Mushrooms are not my favorite, always end up nauseated

The Short Answer

Low clouds can block light from the sun, which means less solar energy. However, certain cloudy conditions can actually increase the amount of light reaching solar panels. Weather satellites such as those in the GOES-R Series keep an eye on these clouds, which can help scientists make predictions about the capture of solar energy.

I have a rusty bugeye wrx wagon :)

I can't understand how he finds all these topics!

Also maybe no stock options like other corps? So more salary compensation

This American Life 878 New Lore Drop was about this sort of thing. Worth a listen

I like my P16, but I found that despite being brand new the build quality is a little shoddy. There's a creak when I rest my right hand next to the track pad, the screen actually overhangs to the side of the keyboard! And a couple other plastic bits seem like they creaked and behaved poorly since I received it. Good components though.

Adding on, something I didn't realize for a while is that the driver practices the course and writes their own instructions. Then the co-pilot relays during the race.

 
 

Hello,

I have been upgrading this PC for years now, and the CPU is way behind. However I'm not sure what to put in. I planned on sticking with AMD, I'm running Linux Mint, and I want to spend $200-300. My monitor is capable of 165 FPS but nothing I play tends to reach that (Counter-Strike 2, Doom: The Dark Ages, Control, other big-budget games). So I'd like something that could help get this thing up to speed.

I'm also interested to hear what other components ought to be prioritized for upgrading in the future.

Thanks

 

And they're incandescent, not LED!

I'm sure anyone reading that has used Android in the last year has some gripes about the media control "tool" too. You cannot get that thing to operate in any sensible way. Screw me for using a music player, an audiobook player, playing videos on Firefox, and a podcast app. I don't want every one of those to live there forever!!!!! The only way to get the various apps to disappear is a long press and clicking hide, only until you use the app again. The buttons fail to work all the time. Then it glitches out, gets stuck ⅔ of the way through a swipe and is completely unusable. Maybe I'm missing it but it's not able to be turned off - I don't even want it off but it shouldn't break every single day. I hope someone else is as sick of this part of the UI as I am.

Yes, I know that I should move to Graphene before someone tells me.

 

I hope this is not against the rules - I tried with multiple frontends to find the list of rules but failed.

I'm trying to find the right keyboard and have not had all that much luck using aggregators like keeb-finder or mechanicalkeyboards.com. I'm hoping someone would be willing to make a recommendation based on these criteria:

  • 100%, maybe a few less keys but the number pad is necessary. 100+% is ok
  • tactile switches
  • USB passthrough for the mouse or whatever else
  • audio passthrough with audio out jack and mic in jack. I think this is the limiting feature, seems to be phased out except by brands like logitech and corsair.
  • standard ergonomic design
  • case material is not important nor is the key material really

Thanks for reading!

 

Leather steering wheel, and I cannot get this residue out. I've only tried leather cleaner / conditioner so far though.

 

These 20+ year old cars just call out to me...

 

As in, if you were applying to delivery positions but you know they'll test for cannabis, would you even apply / interview? What about in a jurisdiction where the drug is recreationally legal?
