Start buying a few shares of VTI every pay period. Use any left over cash to buy SPYG. Ignore the gains or losses, the market has never not gone up (eventually). Thank yourself later.

Max out your 401k when you get a decent paying job. But make sure you hit every pay period to maximize your employer contribution.

Consider using mass transit where possible, bike if you can, more or less avoid a car/insurance. If that's not possible get a cheap car like a used Nissan leaf ($7000 in my area, costs a few dollars a month to charge using a wall outlet and extension cord)

Minimize unnecessary expenses like using food delivery services. Meal prep on the weekends and make enough food for a week.

If you do all this for 10 years or so, you'll be in a really good spot financially. Buying a house will be a decent prospect, your VTI and SPYG will be making money, your taxable income will be small and you will have built up the ability to splurge on things without it making much of an impact on your finances.

I've been following the YouTube channel Chris invests and he gives lots of similar advice like this.

Yup, that's awesome. The first time I played it, I was using a steam deck as a daily driver while waiting for a new laptop to ship. Grabbed the app image and it just worked!

Tbf, I didn't know about the steam release. But yeah it's also open source.

I know you requested steam, but beyond all reason is legitimately good and free. Runs on all major OS's, has a good user base and excellent development.

Beyondallreason.info I think

This toilet is only two years old.

Thanks I'll give this a try. I'll see if I can find a replacement part

Ok I'll give this a try.

This. I live in a busy city. I know several routes through and around it. I need the traffic data. I need it to tell me there is a wreck.

I don't need to know (usually) how to get there.

I just took a look at your post history. It's literally only anti-Biden. I hope you're getting paid...

Sure but... WHO?!

Who though... Comments like this are useless unless there is a valid replacement. So again... Who, or STFU.

Maybe, but I took some business courses too and even some of them had at least tried a Linux distro. I think it was more widespread than just turbo nerds and cs majors. Hell one of the biggest Linux guys I knew was an anthropology major.

This was me, you're talking about me. 😂 In the 90's Linux was barely getting started but slackware was probably the main distro everyone was focused on. That was the first one I ran across. This was probably late 90's, I don't remember when slack first came about though.

By the time the 2000's came around, it was basically a normal thing for people in college to have used or at least tried. Linux was in the vernacular, text books had references to it, and the famous lawsuit from SCO v IBM was in full swing. There were distro choices for days, including Gentoo which I spent literally a week getting everything compiled on an old Pentium only for it to not support some of the hardware and refuse to boot.

There was a company I believe called VA Linux that declared that year to be the year of the Linux desktop. My memory might be faulty on this one.

Loki gaming was a company that specialized in porting games to Linux, and they did a good job at it but couldn't make money. I remember being super excited about them and did buy a few games. I was broke too so that was a real splurge for me. I feel like they launched in the 90's (late) and crashed in the early 2000's.

Is there a good tutorial or better yet, videos showing how to use ondsel? When I tried to use it, everything pointed at free car and the ui was too different.

Different studios take different approaches, I know when Polyphony digital was making Gran Turismo 7 they dramatically changed how they were doing audio by actually bringing the real cars into a dedicated recording studio. This isn't the video I saw a few years ago, but it's similar.

To my knowledge they may have been (still?) the only studio doing it this way.

Which to me is also a failure. Everyone knows the Tesla network is Tesla. And it's hands down, better. People use Electrify America and have a bad experience (myself included) and they get mad at it. Even if they don't know it's tied to vw.

YouTubers and journalist talk about it and tie it to vw and suddenly your enthusiasts are panning vw for their garbage network.

It's a lose lose for Volkswagen the way they did this.

You aren't wrong, but also it directly impacts the company reputation. Doing it as absolute crap as they did hurts them. Not the whole industry, because looks what's happened since, the charging standards in USA went from CCS to nacs, all the manufacturers switched to using Tesla network which, checks notes is your direct competition.

Isn't this more or less what Tesla did?

Ooof I've got a vivedono troodon (voron clone) and that thing is constantly breaking. It's broken right now! I might just give the thing away if someone would come get it!

Compared to my Prusa where everything just works it's not even close. The troodon is like a creality but without the cheap budget parts being widely available.

Does anyone know what slicer profiles exist for the sv08?
