Just when I think I'm out.... they PULL ME BACK IN!

(not gonna fukn happen)

Best thing is I’m retiring in 18 days, at age 58.

Worst thing is the next 18 days.

My favorite quote from the interwebs about medium.com is “they call it medium because it’s rare to find anything well-done there.”

I think you’re describing a TV show called Being Erica 

As a supertaster and inveterate picky eater, that actually looks pretty good. Could use some mayo and/or mustard though.

Wait… so thoughts and prayers actually work?

Honestly, for running jellyfin/emby/plex, there's nothing better. The only thing an update might get you would be higher refresh rates or maybe 8k support, but for watching video, who cares?

Once I disabled the built-in "leanback" launcher with its fucking toxic ads and replaced it with flauncher, it's been essentially perfect for watching media. flauncher is fugly as hell but it stays out of my face, unlike google's ad-focused launcher.

I just now bought 25 On and Monster Movie. Haven’t listened yet because I’m stuck on zoom for another 90 minutes!

It took me a long time to find out about their 4th and 5th albums. By the time I learned they'd been released, they weren't available in the US. My girlfriend ordered them from a brand new little web store front in Iceland, of all places. That was before the age of streaming, obviously.

Looking at wikipedia, I see they got back together in 2011 and made a couple more albums. I may have to track those down.

Wow… didn’t know anyone else had heard of The Rainmakers. I was a huge fan when they were touring around the flyover states. Saw them half a dozen times in Wichita. I still listen to their first three albums pretty regularly.

• The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
• Leo Delibes - Lakme
• Dire Straits - Love Over Gold
• Dire Straits - Making Movies
• Green Day - American Idiot
• The Manhattan Transfer - Brasil
• Nanci Griffith - Blue Roses From the Moons
• Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
• Rush - 2112
• Supertramp - Breakfast In America

They lost their minds back in the 60s/70s when women started using Ms instead of Mrs/Miss. Even into the 1990s, some conservative men were still butthurt about it. Rush Limbaugh was particularly offended over Ms Rodham-Clinton’s title and hyphen.

They lost the battle over women’s titles and the pronoun thing is their new hill to die on.

I haven’t used knock at all but the first thing I do after every long rest is apply speak with animals to my PC. I then talk to almost every animal I meet.

Yes, there are a bunch of gaming-oriented ones. I’m using pop!_os (stupid name) and it took me nearly zero effort to start playing steam games. There’s also Drauger OS, Garuda, Lakka, and Bazzite, among others.

I think the current received wisdom on Linux gaming boils down mainly to three letters: AMD. As a company they’re “friendlier” to Linux for drivers and such.

That said, I’m running an 11th gen intel i7 and nvidia 3080 and not having any problems. I haven’t tried starfield yet but Baldur’s Gate 3 runs like a champ.

The actor has some serious back problems and that weird way of getting into a chair is one of the ways he avoids triggering a flare up

Sounds like sabotage!

Agreed… doctor up, hit the gym, eat some veggies.

Seriously though OP, if they haven’t seen a doctor, try to get them to go get tested for environmental toxins and nutritional deficiencies. Some of this stuff can clear up like magic once you’ve identified the problem.

Speaking as a 57 year old, it seems odd that they're both having cognitive problems. As you might guess, most of my friends are around my age and literally zero of them are in any kind of decline like that.

Out of curiosity, do your parents have a carbon monoxide monitor in their home? IANAD but it's my understanding that long term, low level CO poisoning can lead to symptoms like you're describing.

Shame to hear it doesn’t run on the steam deck. I use Linux on my gaming desktop and if it won’t work on the deck it usually won’t work on my desktop either
