  • Anbernic handheld consoles are awesome and inexpensive.

    I recommend the RG35XXSP. It's shaped like a Gameboy Advance SP and plays lots of Dreamcast & N64 games plus everything below that.

    $60 + Shipping Directly from Anbernic

    or

    $90 with free 1 or 2 day shipping from Amazon

  • Drink IPA without letting any air into your mouth and keep your tongue somewhat pressed against the roof of your mouth. It seems to block off the taste buds on top of the tongue and lets the beer wash around the sides of the tongue instead. This reduces the in-your-face bitterness and allows the secondary flavors to be noticed. At least that's how I started appreciating IPAs.

  • Super Noah's Ark is on my rg35xx. It's amazing.

    My cousin had a couple Bible themed NES games. Spiritual Warfare seemed decent.

    There used to be a store called Heaven & Earth that sold all kinds of Christian stuff for Sunday school teachers or whatever plus books, cheap Bible toys, etc. She bought it there.

  • I agree with you. And it's not because of poor cooking. I just don't like most Thanksgiving food.

    On the other hand, pulled pork BBQ and grilled meats on the 4th are some of my favorites.

  • Ah. Thank you!! I was planning to disconnect the computer from wifi next month until I got around to setting up Linux. Nice to know there is more time.

    I used Mint like 15 years ago trying to set up retropie on a cheap netbook. It felt really smooth, but I couldn't get something to work and just never had time to research a resolution.

    I'm sure it's more user friendly now or at least the tools are more successful on first install. Going to find out sooner or later. I really just use that old PC to store pictures and play retro games, so it shouldn't be hard to convert with a little time for research.

  • I have a PC at home that works perfectly fine. Browses the internet, emulates GameCube and Dreamcast, runs any app I need.

    It's not eligible for Windows 11. In about a month MS will just stop supporting my PC, and it will not have the option to be a Windows PC despite still having plenty of service time to offer.

    Microsoft is basically forcing that PC to run Linux instead.

  • I agree with that... somewhat. Except they are providing a service.

    The content is not produced by YouTube, but it is made available by YouTube. There's a cost to provide that service and value to the consumer for having videos available to watch.

    I doubt you want to pay for the service, so how is it supposed to work? What pays YouTube's costs so we can all keep watching videos for months and years to come?

    I get that this comes across as someone simping for YouTube. I'm not trying to do that though. I'm just intrigued by this worldview and would like to understand if there is more to it or if you believe YouTube should not be compensated some other way.

    Is it a "Fuck you. I got mine." mentality where people watching ads and paying premium cover the cost for you to use the service for free? Or is there some nuance I've missed?

  • If you can't get pain meds I'd try Kratom.

    Start with a low dose and work your way up. If you take too much you will puke which would be awful in your current condition.

    Take the right dose and it will significantly relieve the pain. I slowly took increased doses until they started to make me feel a little woozy or get cold sweats. Then I knew my personal dose is a little less than that.

    I can't stress enough though - take less at first and try a little more each time.

    Either eat food with it every time or take on an empty stomach every time, but don't go back and forth unless you know your proper personal dose with and without food. It matters a lot with Kratom.

    All that said, do it right and it will bring more relief than anything else I've been able to legally acquire. Absolutely do not allow yourself to take it every day once the pain is manageable. Plenty of people do... But don't do that.

    Good luck. No matter what - this is only temporary. You will get through it.

  • Different people like different things. Nothing wrong with celebrating one of the biggest days of one's life. I didn't want to be the center of attention, but if someone else does want to be that - on their wedding day - then that's cool too.
