I think I've dated a couple of those and narrowly avoided dating a couple more.

I've been a linux user for 25 years.

My computers are all named after Autobots and my wallpaper on each computer is a picture of that computer's namesake from one of the various continuities.

That's just how I roll out.

Read this as "Sim City: Apocalypse" and was like... "Well, I'd play that!"

You might consider Linux Mint instead of Ubuntu. A lot of what you want is going to work (and be preinstalled) right out of the box. It's a great system to start with.

I play Stellaris and Minecraft on Linux Mint... Stellaris runs fine through Steam. Minecraft, just download the Linux launcher, it will do everything else for you.

Depending on the distro, Linux may or may not be able to write to NTFS volumes out of the box.

The proper way to share drives between Windows and Linux is to format them to ExFAT.

ADHD dad with 15 year old ADHD son here (also, I have a severely ADHD dad... undiagnosed / untreated, probably like most boomers with ADHD). Second what other's said. My son is like the least aggressive person ever. Observations of his childhood vrs my childhood vrs stories of my dad's childhood make me STRONGLY believe aggression in ADHD kids is environmental / cultural in nature... for whatever that's worth.

1. Homework and chores, hands down. My son says he'll do it, and doesn't want help / doesn't want to be reminded. But GFL unless I sit down and do it with him.
2. Son is an only child, but he gets along REALLY well with his 9 year old cousin (who also has ADHD) and his friends. My son runs LARPs for them. If my son gets angry / aggressive toward anyone in the family, it's his mother, who sets the strongest boundaries with him. It's been like that all his life. Mostly they have a good relationship, but whatever social strain he has going on, it's there.
3. N/A. My son is not aggressive (and never has been). When faced with aggressive behavior from other children, he tries to talk them down and withdraws / gets depressed if it doesn't work. Again, I attribute this to his early childhood education and to the culture he grew up in. I would say changing the culture / teaching self management and communication tools EARLY is the best advice possible.
4. Worst case, my son and I can enable each other with some of our dysfunctional ADHD behavior and tendencies and we need help from other family members to keep us all on track.
5. See above about culture and education.

It is indeed EDS. 🙁

This is 100% a scene from a Witcher game.

• Geralt rushes in to save girl.
• Girl turns out to be sorceress.
• Geralt and sorceress kill monster.

Post fight dialogue options :

• Insult sorceress (she leaves)
• Demand payment (acquire magic sword, she leaves)
• Name drop Triss and / or Yennifer (unlock "Sorceress needs help with random bullshit" quest. Complete quest -> acquire magic sword)
• Hit on sorceress (acquire magic sword, unlock "Sorceress needs help with random bullshit" quest. Complete quest -> Bang sorceress)

My wife has a genetic disorder that (among many other things) causes her spine to herniate at the drop of a hat. She's had to have emergency surgery multiple times.

About a year and a half ago, a neurosurgeon was operating on her and came to talk to me and my mom who were waiting. She was extremely excited, in that like "academic who just saw something new" kind of way, because my wife had the third biggest herniation she'd ever seen, and the largest in a patient under 70 (my wife was 34 at the time). She asked if it would be OK if she invited a professor from the local university and a couple of his grad students to come look at it.

Is very danger!

North Korea, China and... Oh yeah, the effing United States, come January.

My state (Colorado)

• Repealed our 18 year old ban on same sex marriage (yay).
• Failed to pass ranked choice voting (boo). My impression from talking to folks is that many people (especially older people) don't really know what it is and when they read it on the ballot they feel like it's weird and complicated.

My city (Boulder) is a liberal bubble and predictably our local issues are all disagreements between upper middle class+, over 40 property owning NIMBYs vs. progressives who care about affordable housing and the homeless. Literally every city council candidate's platform is EXACTLY the same, except on housing / homelessness issues. Every election, I google all the judges and city council candidates and vote for the ones who seem least NIMBY. The judges are almost always NIMBYs. The city council members I vote for almost always loose.

If the CU students who were eligible to vote in Boulder would do so, this wouldn't happen.

There is absolutely only one choice, no need to even think about it it's this.

They could actually make this work.

• Have a recruitable Volus biotic warrior who you pick up in a nightclub and has romance dialog options.
• They go hang out in some big room on the ship, like a cargo hold.
• If you choose the romance options, more Volus just start showing up on your ship with no explanation. Like the next time you go in the cargo hold there's another one, then two more, then you start seeing them in the mess hall, engineering, medbay...
• There's either dialogue options to ask what's going on (and kick them off the ship) OR there's more romance dialog options, but you can't do both!
• If you keep choosing romance options, they eventually all show up in your room at the same time. It turns out that when Volus take a new partner, their whole extended polycule is allowed to vote on whether or not they approve of the new person being added to your dynamic. There's a whole scene where you and your new partner have to lobby, bargain and plead for them to include a human. Maybe whether they accept you or not has to do with other choices that you've made.

I got your real druid right here...

Gorilla used repetitiveness.

It was very effective.
