You could say it would be out of this world.

I've never been fishing but I assume it's like a form of meditation. While they're waiting for the fish, they don't have to move around at all so their brain can engage in free thinking.

In the case of this post, I'd say it's more a fact that the early seasons of The Simpsons are 20-30 years old rather than different generations have different perspectives. Gen alpha will not be exposed to those seasons unless it's by someone older.

Don't worry, I'm sure at least 2 of them are RE 4 remakes

Proprivacy.com seems more like reviews for VPNs and other privacy services. They listed one service, blur that looked promising. Unfortunately, it's only available to use for US merchants.

Privacy also looked promising. However, they require users to provide their SSN and that's not something I want to give for something small like this.

People become nose blind to their perfumes and deoderants so they put on more and more over time to smell the same (from their perspective). My mom has the same issue but claims it's all in my head.

Hm, good advice!

I love the pranks from Just for Laughs because the prankee always ends up laughing after finding out it's a prank. Here's a compilation of some Halloween ones they've done.

Of course, some of these are not practical for you but hopefully they'll give you an idea of a fun prank.

Open box stuff is nice. I also like buying bigger items like TVs or appliances from them since it's easier to return if I don't like it.

Also it's nice to demo stuff before buying if I'm not sure about the size, weight, screen etc.

And as some users have mentioned, Amazon has become kind of a lottery for actually getting new items

Portal was my first FPS on a computer. Got me to practice using mouse and keyboard and now I can't imagine playing an FPS with a controller

For the lazy:

The California High-Speed Rail took another important step toward becoming reality Thursday after the governing body’s board of directors began the process of obtaining possible vendors for the state’s most ambitious transit project in history.

The High-Speed Rail Authority’s Board approved the release of a Request for Qualifications, which clears the way for the Authority to obtain and screen vendors as well as establish a pool of possible manufacturers for the project’s trainsets.

Interested companies will need to submit a statement of qualification to the Authority to attest they can meet the demands of the project if ultimately selected as the winning bid.

Statements of Qualification will be due by November and the total pool of vendors will be whittled down by the first quarter of 2024, the Authority said.

“Our action today allows us to deliver on our commitment to meet our federal grant timelines to start testing,” said Board Chair Tom Richards. “This is an important milestone for us to deliver high-speed rail service in the Central Valley and eventually into Northern and Southern California.”

The Authority is looking to obtain six trainsets that are capable of operating at speeds of 220 mph and tested at speeds as high as 242 mph. Two prototypes will need to be delivered by 2028 to allow for testing and trial runs and the additional four will need to be delivered by 2030.

“These trainsets ensure that we are procuring the latest generation of high-speed trains for this first-in-the-nation project,” said Authority CEO Brian Kelly. “We look forward to working with members of the industry as we strive to develop a market for high-speed trains in the United States.”

The manufacturer who is chosen to receive the High-Speed Rail contract will be be responsible for designing, building, integrating and commissioning the trainsets, as well as maintaining them and their spare parts for 30 years. The manufacturer will also be responsible for testing and maintaining a driving simulator.

The California High-Speed Rail is tentatively planned to open in 2030, operating in the large middle section of the Central Valley which and connecting Merced to Bakersfield along a 171-mile track.

Construction on the project officially began in Fresno in 2015 after decades of discussion and voter approval for initial funding in 2008.

The Authority said it hopes to have service going by 2030, but transportation advocates and supporters of the project have urged the governing body to accelerate that timeline, possibly having the entire track from the Bay Area to Los Angeles up and running by 2028.

Despite clamoring from advocates and overall enthusiasm for the project, the Authority stresses that there’s simply not enough funding to get the project completed any sooner.

Still, Thursday’s procedural step is an important one and continues to solidify the Authority’s confidence that the project is past the “point of no return” and will be completed in the next decade.

Construction is currently underway along 119 miles of the proposed 171-mile track across the Central Valley. There are more than 30 active construction sites in the state, and the 422 miles of the program’s design has received environmental clearance.

Sassy adventurer speaking to BBEG

If the person can eat spicy, I really like chicken and cheese buldak. It's basically shake and bake.

I follow Maangchi's recipe minus the rice cakes and sub chicken thigh for breast (because dark meat is always better). Marinate everything in a zip lock bag and refrigerate for one day before cooking. Makes it extra flavorful and spicy. I like to eat it with rice and a side of sliced cucumbers.

It's simple but oh so good.

So blursed. I love it

I can't speak for all mic arms but mine (the elgato LP arm) came with two adapter screws.

Also,according to the article below, your mic should have already come with an adapter as well.
