Fun story time: I once got informed of a drug test for a job I'd just accepted after a weekend of hard partying. I was on prescription opiods, Adderall, and ketamine. They called Monday morning at 9 to tell me I had to piss within 4 hours. I hadn't even slept yet. I should have lit that test up like a Christmas tree for everything except thc. It came back clean. They never asked about my prescriptions. I have 2 theories. 1) they don't actually test. 2) if too many things light up, they assume it's a calibration issue.
Albania. It's nice here. There's a construction worker shortage, and no shortage of jobs for teachers that speak English. You can even show up and hang out for up to a year with no visa.
I have a couple of uses for my steamdeck. The vast majority of the time it sits in my living room. I use it while I'm watching TV with my wife. The ability to pick it up, resume whatever I'm playing right where I left off is great.
The other use is when I'm traveling. It's smaller than a laptop, desktop mode is a fully functional Linux operating system, and it connects to any hdmi port with a small dock. That means I can use it to game, and connect it to the TV in the hotel room and watch whatever I want.
Yeah. I'm a huge ghostbusters nerd. I really enjoyed it. There's one quick change that could be made that would have made it tons better. Set it in Boston and make them a franchisee. Making it a spinoff instead of a reboot.
I couldn't get anything Debian based to install correctly. I ended up using Garuda, dragonized edition. It took less setup than a fresh windows install.
Talk to anyone that runs a gun range, and they'll tell you that cops have the worst aim. They have a tendency to point in the general direction of their target, then pull the trigger until it goes click.
Absolutely. Most "travel routers" have openvpn installed on them. I have one router set up with my normal internet, and another with a full time vpn'd connection. The VPN router was like $60.
They're also great to have when traveling. It connects to whatever random wifi, and all of your devices show up as a single device. You turn off the VPN to connect to your hotel's capture portal, then turn it back on and all of your devices have secure internet.
As a Windows engineer, the number of times I've seen other "engineers" open a case with Microsoft is insane. It seems to be a lot of their first reactions. No logs, no trying anything, just "this broke, why no work". I think it's that the Linux guys are mostly self taught, and the windows guys aren't.
Fucking chore simulator. My roommates couldn't be assed to do their actual chores, but every morning during covid they'd get up and make sure their fucking farms had whatever the shit they needed.
I'm having that problem with slay the spire currently. I've spent 50 hours trying to beat it with the witch character, and keep getting fucked by the RNG.
FTL I've beat with every ship/variation on normal, but it takes a lot of Memorization or looking up events to make sure you're not screwing yourself.
Into the Breach is way less RNG.
It's called a B Corp in the US. A public benefit company. It's for profit, but with a mission. Doctor Bronner's and Newman's Own are the two that come to mind.
I jumped ship from windows straight to Garuda. It just works. Any question I've had DeepSeek has answered correctly the first time I asked.
