Main game on my center screen. RuneScape and/or Discord/web browser on my side screen.

Fine. Hop in a car, and get on the nearest highway. Every time you come to a fork, roll a die to see which direction you go. 24 hours is a long time to drive, but not impossible. And assuming a truly random path, he’d have no hope of predicting where you were going to try and head you off. Hell, stop over and rent a new car whenever you’re running low on gas, just to make things even more confusing; You’re about to win $3B, so what is a few hundred dollars in rental car fees?

Wasn’t one of his big things that he was supernaturally strong and resilient? It wasn’t just a doll; It was a doll that was possessed by the ghost of a serial killer. So there was some supernatural aspect to it that made it harder to destroy than most people would expect.

Professor Moriarty would also likely be disinterested in actually coming after you. He only targeted Holmes because Holmes kept uncovering his criminal plans. He began to see Holmes as a roadblock, and was continuously frustrated by Holmes’ investigative abilities. As long as you weren’t in Moriarty’s way and didn’t have anything to offer him, he likely wouldn’t care about you. After all, his public image was that of a respected scholar. You’d be a little fish in a very big pond, and Moriarty was smart enough to recognize that going after you would net him nothing in return.

Yup, versioned files ALWAYS get a YYYY-MM-DD HHMM timestamp. So when you sort alphabetically, they sort chronologically.

It has a decent community, yes. It’s basically the go-to gaming distro for many people.

Because China supposedly used Nvidia cards to train DeepSeek, which blew all of the US AI out of the water. And apparently that raised some eyebrows, because Nvidia wasn’t supposed to be selling to China (free market, right?). Since China was eating big tech’s lunch, they cried to republicans (and gave them a bunch of reelection money) and now we have this bill. The point is to be able to remotely disable cards if they’re outside of their sale region.

If you’re looking for a desktop version of SteamOS and are used to using Windows, your best bet is likely Bazzite with the KDE desktop environment. There are mixed feelings among Linux users about immutable distros, (many of the more advanced users feel it is too limiting), but there’s no denying the Bazzite is the most straightforward way to get things like Nvidia drivers and HDR.

The best cutting boards use end-grain for this exact reason. It’s not just a decorative thing. The direction of the wood grain directly determines how quickly the board will dull your knife. Wood is made of two main parts: A hard fiber, and a soft filler in between each fiber. The hard fiber is what dulls your knife when you cut.

Imagine cutting on a tightly packed bundle of really tiny straws. If you cut across the bundle, your knife will be cutting into each straw, dulling in the process. But if you cut on the end of the bundle, the knife blade will slide between the straws instead of cutting them.

The straws will last longer when you’re cutting on the end (because you’re not cutting them) and your blade will last longer (because it isn’t cutting the straws). And an end grain cutting board is essentially cutting on the end of the straw bundle.

I’d include a santoku in there, and probably some scissors. Sometimes you just need the straight edge of a santoku, instead of the curved edge of a chef’s knife.

And sometimes serration is necessary. You’ll blunt your chefs knife on certain sourdough crusts, or crush softer breads, but a bread knife will glide right through.

Yeah, because saying “6.25mm cubes” is so much more efficient /s

Some people regularly wipe down their counters, or just fucking disinfect their work surfaces before they start cooking. Non-toxic disinfectants like Mean Green will work in 2 minutes, and you can spray it before you start pulling out your pots and pans. Then just wipe the counters really quick, and you’re good to go.

My ex used to play that game religiously. Something about weapon swapping, butterflies, double butterflies, etc…

Several of the larger password managers have started requiring MFA on new accounts. Bitwarden, for example, now requires at least an email verification. They encourage you to use other MFA methods instead, like an Authenticator app. But they at least have the email as a last-ditch “fucking fine, you really don’t want to install an Authenticator app? Here, we’re forcing you to use this as the bare minimum” backup.

I have written similarly awful formulae when I needed to get a csv to export to Google Calendars, but the program I was exporting to wasn’t using Google’s accepted csv headers.

I ended up creating a template that looked at the exported csv file, and then reformatted it in a way that Google liked (and added some extra info along the way.) I needed it to only fill text if an entry actually had info in it, and hide all the text otherwise. So that I could automatically delete empty cells and avoid a bunch of empty calendar entries when importing it into Google. The resulting formula for some of the fields was… Not great. This is what controlled the “name” of each calendar event:

It takes several different potential fields, and combines them into a single field. If there are no entries, it gets left blank.

And every single time I would get it working properly, someone would add a row or change the data validation rules, so I would have to go in and update my formulae. After the fifth or sixth time that happened, I told the person making the changes that it was his job to update the formulae. Suddenly, it stopped getting changed.

Someone breaking into your password manager is a lot less likely than someone breaking into one of the dozens or even hundreds of services you probably reuse passwords on.

Exactly. Without a password manager, every single service you have reuses your password on is a security risk, because any one of them will compromise the rest. And it has repeatedly been demonstrated that even large software companies don’t follow best practices regarding passwords. So any one of them being compromised is a risk. With a password manager, as long as it is properly encrypted and secured with a strong master password, the only point of attack will be your master password.

It’s less about keeping all your eggs in one basket, and more about reducing attack vectors that hackers have access to. With reused passwords, every single individual service is a potential vector of attack.

This feels a little too tinfoil-hat for me. The reality is that one strong password is going to be more secure than 50 weak passwords. If you use something like a passphrase with 30+ characters, cracking it with today’s methods will take longer than the heat death of the universe. Yes, it means all of your eggs are in one basket. But that’s why it’s important that basket is protected like Fort Knox.

Hello FBI, this is the one

Oh, is EA the reason Popcap vanished? Honestly, if they were still around, they’d probably make some killer mobile games (if they actually sold them as complete games and not the microtransaction hell that most mobile games fall into).

The Steam Deck is actually wonderful for retro games. EmuDeck makes setting up emulators a breeze, and the roms can easily be found online legitimately ripped from your own copies of the game and loaded onto a MicroSD card.
