  • If you don't mind the UI out of the 90s webmin probably is the most comprehensive solution. I haven't used it in a few years, does it handle containers?

  • I'm not sure why you're assuming public facing. I don't see that anywhere in Op's post.

  • Took a break this week from Starfield. I fired up Beneath Oresa to find out it was out of EA and had a bunch of changes. So what was meant to be a one off time killer turned into the thing I was playing this week.

  • Using that logic I'd have to keep all my burners on low all the time and spend hours getting water to boil.

  • I disagree. The burner and grate retain a bunch of heat when you turn the gas off. Maybe not as much as the electric element but it's still a consideration.

    Thanks for your response, I appreciate the dialog and wish people didn't downvote you for having an opinion.

  • I had gas stoves most of my life. Several years back I had an apt with a nice flat top electric and I liked it. Fast forward a couple years and my current place has a gas stove again. I hate it now and I miss the electric.

    It was reliable. It didn't smell or leave combustion byproducts in the air. I don't have to worry about making the house explode if a burner is bumped on.

    The thing I notice the most is it's wasteful. On the electric the handles of my pots were never too hot to touch. Gas stove, so much heat is lost around the pot. The handles are always hot and the above range microwave handle gets hot too. (I am using the appropriate sized burner for the pot size.)

  • My Kia has lane keeping assist and basic cruise control. I recently had to drive a uhaul from the dark ages and it was so much more exhausting.

  • But I don't want to own it. I don't want to amass a collection of CDs taking up space somewhere. Been there, done that. I have a large collection of ripped mp3s from CDs I bought in the 90s and early 2000s (I've long since disposed of the physical media). I haven't clicked on a single one of them in years, I just keep them for nostalgia sake and because they take relatively little space.

    I just occasionally want to listen to music sans commercials or annoying DJs wasting my time. For the cost of 1 CD a month my entire family can listen to almost anything they desire, at any time, without hassles (on Pandora in our case but I assume the economics are similar).

    Same thing with movies, honestly. I watch them once and move on. There's a small handful I like enough to rewatch and I do own those.

    I get the whole, we don't own anything anymore, argument and I mostly agree with it (see my massive Steam library). I just want both options to be viable. Streaming for ephemeral entertainment and actual ownership for the things I choose to keep.

  • I had a moment where I was in the prawn suit and I slipped and fell into a deep part of the ocean. I was in that moment and panicked as I sank deeper into the darkening blue emptiness around me. It was terrifying. For the briefest of moments I forgot I was playing a game.

    Then I hit the bottom and felt a little stupid. ๐Ÿ˜€

  • It's on my short list. I'll probably start over, it's been long enough. Right now I'm still playing Starfield and I tend to be monogamous with my story driven games.

  • My wife also says "toasted cheese". Well, her and her children. Only people I've ever known to call it that.

    Do you have any other unusual turns of phrase? She's full of them. The one that drives me up a wall is where I'd say, "right side in", she says, "right side to".
