Not the best, but one I liked that is easy to overlook -- The Mask

Play it with save states though, doesn't have save/continue

I have a 3rd-party bit insert for my Leatherman that can check voltage on batteries, so I'm set for this problem (volty by pcpoodle)

Something on-battery would be cool, but with that Duracell PowerCheck implementation never seemed right to me, it seemed to show the battery having more and more power the harder and harder I pushed on the spots. 🤷

Yeah, and you build skills and reusable code base that'll be useful for automating/ simplifying future tasks 😎

Some years of this, you get to the point where you can solve damn near everything quickly and people think you're some magical shit-wizard

Ironically somebody probably had that idea while paging binders full of pre-Trump popular Republicans

You aren't going to eat the glue sticks right?

You are going to eat all the rice chex, poop in box after so it's the right weight, use glue sticks to seal back up, and return back to the store as buying the wrong variant. Right??

😟

Yabba dabba don't, please 😂

It's a bad idea not to when it'd be a guaranteed loss

Flipside 4 wallet, put a clip on the lanyard to clip to my shorts so doesn't slip out of my pocket. I had a custom thin RFID made that I slipped between the outside of the lid's rfid-blocking plate and the plastic lid itself to get into my apt building's various doors. Wallet has all my cards and key, and cash for the rare times I have it.

I always carry a victorinox classic sd sak with a big orange Paracord lanyard on it so I don't lose track of it. It's black and limited edition with a cool skeleton carrying a Halloween bucket graphic.

I carry a Spyderco manbug as well, good slicer, small unscary size. Has super blue steel, so cool patina near the edge. I have a clip on that as well so doesn't fall out of my shorts pocket.

I have a modified Leatherman style ps as well, removed the scissors (scissors better on the sak anyways) and added a little titanium prybar that has a sharp enough edge for opening packages. That has a carabineer-style clip that clips on edge of my pocket.

I wear an apple watch ultra, good for apple pay, timers/alarms and texts. Siri to check stuff like sports scores in a pinch. Negates me needing actual phone, I tend to leave iPhone 13 mini in a cheap Etsy "Arnie" case (cameras are barrels of gun from that movie Commando) at home, unless I feel like I'll need the entertainment of f'ing with my phone wherever I'm going

I wear wedding ring out always, bracelet my wife made me often, next to the apple watch. Often have a mechanical wrist watch on other wrist, varies which (have a collection.) I often wear a couple/few Happy Beads bracelets with the mechanical watch to put the finishing touches.

Vast majority of the time I'm just wearing sandals, shorts & T-shirt (I work from home).

The above is my unique and probably awful/questionable taste, more of an admission than edc and/or fashion advice 😂😢

I don't think I'm jaded, I'm actually hopeful Dems will do the right thing here. I just have a fundamental thing where I can't vote for somebody I don't want in office.

Not sweating votes on the site, just like the conversation.

I believe you believe what you said completely. I shouldn't have said 'mild hyperbole', that's wrong since that would mean an intentional exaggeration.

I do think the biggest trouble Trump would cause if re-elected that we couldn't address once he's out is him not leaving. Feels like a too-high-odds deal of American electoral democracy ending with him. In that way I think Trump is a bigger issue than even your language conveys.

I have the luxury of throwing away my vote not living in a swing state, but I think others have similar voting instincts/morals/whatever that do live in those swing and near-swing states, and it will make the difference and let Trump in office ☹️ Right now I have to hope Dems will realize Biden wouldn't win before it's too late to replace him. That said, I bet they do the right thing; even with all the noise and biases in polls I think this is big enough where it'll become apparent in the data in the coming weeks regardless, and I can't see them going forward with what they will realize is a can't-win candidate. They'll wake the fuck up 🤞

I don't follow the polls or politics I have to admit. Pretty sure Biden wouldn't beat Trump if he's on the ticket, but I'm guessing Dems will figure that out soon and put someone else up. We'll see I suppose.

Michelle Obama sounds bizarre, I know she's generally liked and many Americans crave political family dynasties, but I got the impression back in the day she didn't really like politics and wasn't that into Barry even pursuing the presidency nor reelection. But again just an impression, I could be wrong, I'm admittedly a random asshole on the internet who doesn't follow this stuff typically nor closely when I do.

Yeah it's tough. Write-in is in a way throwing away my vote like I mentioned. I hope Dems put someone else on the ticket, or that somehow Biden wins if they don't (really don't see Biden winning though ☹️ )

Hope it works out, pretty sure they won't have Biden on the ticket, or if they do Trump wins. Hope Trump doesn't win. We'll see.

You might not think so, but I think we're on the same page, mild hyperbole aside. I just refuse to be forced to vote for somebody I don't want to do the job, fundamental thing. I hope the Dems put someone else on the ticket, I guess we'll see.

I know it's broken thinking, like I said. Just sharing, doubt I'm the only broken voter out there. Voting for individuals I don't actually want in office feels like negotiating with terrorists. I am what I am, and I have a feeling there's too many Popeyes like me out there. I think Biden is one of the few that Dems could realistically put on the ticket that wouldn't beat Trump.

I can’t speak to polls, just myself, but I can’t vote for Biden – he seems borderline too old for the job now, it’d be painful to see an accelerated decline over the next four years.

Other people might be too old for that job at an earlier age, some at a later age; it’s a personal thing on how age effects a person and their abilities to do certain things. For him it’s getting past time.

And Trump is horrible for the reasons you list and more. Plus, if he gets in office removing him after is a worry.

I’ve always voted Democrat. I was for Bernie in 2016 and also wrote him in as a protest in 2020 (I was mad they made everyone bow-out at once and defer to Biden, and I recall thinking he was too old even then). Bernie is too old now even for throwing away my vote on another protest (he’s actually older than Biden, but again age vs. capabilities is a personal thing and even though he was looking good back in 2020, it feels wrong to vote for a guy in his 80s for a term no matter how good they seem.) I know that doesn’t matter because a write-in never wins, but I will always vote, and always vote for somebody I’d want for the job. I just can’t bring myself to vote ‘against’ somebody or feel I need to use my vote on one of the main people who actually have a chance to win. It’s just how I’m wired, and I don’t know how rare my broken thinking is, but I suspect it’s more common than most would guess.

So this time around, I don’t know. I hope someone else is there to vote for on top of Dem ticket instead of Biden, that’d probably be my pick no matter who it is. I might end up writing in Whitmer as a protest if not.

I'm tired of these puns

I use Shield Pro 2019 since Nov 2019, have been keeping up on software updates -- haven't ever noticed ads. I use Pi-hole though, maybe that has been 'shielding' me (ha!) all this time and I didn't realize it?

(To clarify I mean no ads in the Shield UI itself, I'd still see ads in individual streaming apps like Hulu)

'stream of water' is wrong characterization, it's about a power-washing jet -- blast off those poo particles
