My old washer died about two weeks ago. It was a 30 year old Frigidaire that shorted something and made magic smoke. That was a pretty asshole move.

We replaced it with a Speed Queen and it's been great so far.

I'm a few years out of date on most hardware, but I can recommend the Fractal Define cases. They also make RGB monstrosities, but the Define line are sturdy, quiet, and come in solid metal side styles. I've had the original XL for probably 15 years now and it's still going strong. XL is probably overkill, but at the time I had a bunch of old platter drives I was still using

The Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold is like Horatio Hornblower in space. The main character has dwarfism and accidentally commandeers a mercenary fleet as a teenager.

I agree for the big ones, but we have a local one I've subscribed to a few times, for a couple months at a time.

They pull all the ingredients from local farms, do local delivery or pickup at farmer's markets, and they're minimal on packaging, and they reuse the bags and ice packs. I haven't done it in a while but it was pretty nice and it was helpful to break out of the routine of the same meals week in and out.

Everyone else seems to have addressed the cloud part, which I was a little skeptical about too. I understood it is a development aspect, not an end user aspect, so I decided to use it. I've been using it as my daily driver for about 6 months and have had no problems.

The atomic part was the biggest hurdle for me, since I wasn't familiar with rpm-ostree, but I'm getting the hang of it. It's had the added benefit of keeping me from breaking things through stupid mistakes since I can just roll back my changes.

Conan and Craig were my go-tos. It's not a talk show, but Conan's podcast is hilarious and he really shines in the longer interview format, both with celebrities and with fans.

I cannot remember a single thing about the movie except that I recall loving the way in which the story was told but hating the story itself.

This is what I do for Bazzite and Mullvad.

I can't get it to update through the repo while layered, so I've had to uninstall and reinstall using the new rpm each time. I keep saying I'm going to get around to troubleshooting it and then forget about it until the next update.

He forgot the most important variable in that equation, and it's time. I continually have to remind clients of that. You can throw more people and money at a problem but you can't get 9 people with uteruses to give birth to a baby in 1 month.

I think the story was that he had disappeared from friends and family for a few months prior.

My first job in IT 20-some years ago began swapping their CRTs for LCDs and I got to take home a Dell rebadge of a 19” Trinitron. It did 1600x1200 at 75hz. It had a fantastic picture for gaming. I can't for the life of me remember what happened to it.

From Bandit getting that phonecall onwards is all tears.

Bluefin/Bazzite/Aurora are immutable, atomic versions of Fedora. I'll probably explain it wrong but they're more secured than normal Linux flavors and you get several copies of your core system files, so when you inevitably fuck something up, you roll back to the previous version and undo your mistake.

I've only just moved over to Bazzite in the last 6 months or so, so I'm no expert, but it's been a cinch to get most games running.

No Denuvo. I'm only a couple hours in, but it feels like the movies so far. The three movies... You know, the only movies they made.

It's a little bit like Dishonored, Deus Ex, and Hitman. The writing and voice acting are spot on, you can't tell it's not Harrison Ford.

It's a bit wonky on Linux, but that's always been the case with Machinegames games and their engine. The standard AMD Mesa driver wouldn't load textures, only shadows. Installing AMDVLK and adding a couple launch options made it run just fine though.

Touche

The Chinese invented movable type printing presses ~500 years before Gutenberg. The process was refined in Korea after that and made its way west. Gutenberg likely adapted and popularized the existing processes into the western industrialization movement.

For pseudo-casual I'd suggest Pop!OS. It's what I have running on my wife's machine which is an AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU. She claims not to be a techy, but I think it's more that she doesn't want to be bothered with tinkering.

I don't recall the names of them all. There were a couple I bounced off of like the House Party one and the platformer with insane controls.

There were a couple that stuck with me like the Bubble Bobble soccer one, the paint racer, Bushido Ball, and the one where you make a chain reaction to blow up demons and save pilgrims.

Camouflage/Chameleon got its hooks in me though and I cherried it in just a few sessions.

I haven't paid close attention but I think she started a cult or something.
