Mate, same! Town I used to live, I couldn’t walk from one end of town to the other without picking up a a dozen acquaintances on the way. Made it really difficult to spend quality time with my closest friends.
So, when we got older, me and my entire inner circle all got houses in a different town where nobody knew us! It’s blissful not having to stop to talk to people every 30 seconds.
Personally, I always loved the classic, side-on Mario games and thought the new features of this looked fun, but the best feature was the fact Nabbit and Yoshi don’t take damage. My 4 year old is autistic and wants to play video games with me but struggles. This allowed us to get through the levels together and he was so happy _ btw, they still die from falling, it still took a LOT of lives, haha.
I don’t know how many others bought it to play with their younger kids but it worked for me!
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been exhausted and later discovered I put the milk by the coffee machine and the coffee in the fridge. Same premise, slightly less terrible outcome.
I recommend the app “Just Watch”. Pump in whatever you wanna watch and it’ll tell you what services it’s available to stream on. If none, hoist the flag, amigo!
To save some people a click, growth hormone apparently used to be extracted from the brains of human cadavers in the UK and some children treated with this later developed Alzheimer’s, some of them as early as their 30’s.
Worth reading the whole article, very interesting!
Part of me wonders; was this their plan all along? Everyone knows that people are having fewer kids and there’s a real problem that the old will outnumber the young and we won’t be able to support the elderly population. So, is the GOP’s plan to just force people to have kids against their will as a way to mitigate that?
It was more to distribute load rather than separate traffic. My main router seems to start pooping the bed once I have 40+ devices connected to it, so I wanted to reduce the number of devices connected to it to prevent that as I need it to be stable for work… and gaming, haha.
Same, working from home increased my productivity by a ridiculous amount. I get to sleep more, I take care of chores during my lunch, I eat and drink better, I don’t have people talking at me all day, I have better equipment at home, a comfier setup, etc. I have sod all self control and will banter with people endlessly in the office but, left alone, I will just work non-stop, taking breaks when I feel my brain starting to burn out. I get more done in a day than most get done in a week.
I love working from home and if they ever drag me back to the office, I intend to be an insufferable prick from clock-in to clock-out.
Highly recommend watching Dark Water, as well as the documentary, “The Devil We Know”, which I believe is on Netflix, at least in the states.
Since watching those, all my cookware is either stainless steel or cast iron and I don’t buy anything marketed as non-stick. Didn’t think a movie and documentary could get to me that much but here we are!
I do exactly this; log on occasionally to finish small things, take the occasional emergency call from a colleague to help them out, work a little past the end of my shift just to get stuff done, etc. whilst I recognise it’s bad and advise others not to do it, I do as it feels like a small sacrifice for what I get in return.
I am 100% WFH. I save 2 hours a day on commuting, plus not having to iron shirts and general office-level prep. I save money on fuel and car maintenance. I have ready access to my own food and drink and is healthier than what’s in range of my office. I get to be with my family more, help the missus with our 2 young kids when needed, do housework or play with the kids on my lunch. I can focus on my work rather than having people constantly talking to me.
All these things combined make me considerably happier and calmer, even though my job is actually incredibly stressful :D haha.
Whilst I never condone working for free, I justify it to myself as a trade; never make me come to an office ever again and I’ll chuck in the extra 10% every now and again, haha.
The only bad thing about Ethernet cables is that they’re shaped like a goddamn grappling hook. If I wanna pull an Ethernet cable through my desk, I must understand that every other cable in its path is coming with it.
Wait, is it? Like, vanilla, not Northstar? I stopped playing months ago because I’d leave it running looking for a match in the background with my speakers turned up so I could go do chores and watch TV and then run back if I heard the “joining game noise”, occasionally checking to see if matchmaking kicked me out to the menu. It was just too much hassle to get into a game.
Is all that fixed now? Can I come back? Please god, can I play TF|2 again?
I’ll have you know that I wrote a semi-functional webpage in HTML when I was in college 😎
