If it comes to the USA, it’s too late. The recent outbreak has cemented in the minds of Americans that this is a Gay™ disease, and it only affects those pesky Gays. Therefore, the vaccine will be refused in even higher amounts than other vaccines. “I’m not a Gay. I don’t have to worry about it.”
Interesting, robot faces made with living skin have quite the opposite effect on me.
I’m gonna add to this by saying phosphorus may be my favorite, but I think the most likely filter is just time, twice.
Do you know how unlikely it is that earth has been habitable for so long? Do you know how long life was single-celled? One of the theories for how advanced (eukaryotic) cells formed was the combination of at least three different branches of life into the same cell! Archaea (cell wall), bacteria (mitochondria/chloroplasts), and viruses (nucleus). Do you know how unlikely that sounds? Do you know how long it would take for that to happen randomly? Most planets probably aren’t even habitable for that long. Once we became eukaryotic, we started progressing much faster.
Then, keep in mind, the life has to continue to exist for billions of more years while it waits for the advanced life to happen again within the same section of the galaxy. So, time is two filters - both behind us and in front of us.
My favorite filter is the amount of phosphorous in the universe. Earth has an unusually high amount, and it’s vital for life. I like this one, because as more stars die, the amount of phosphorous goes up, implying we won’t be alone forever.
Anyway, look up “Issac Arthur” on YouTube for HOURS of content about the Fermi paradox and potential great filters.
Rimworld. Also DRM free through GOG!
In short: whatever you enjoy.
We’ve all been conditioned to think that time spent doing things you enjoy instead of working or some type of work-training is meaningless. There is more to life than employment. You’re allowed to do things you enjoy simply because you enjoy them.
Results? No, no. I need the documentation of what happened. I’ll, uh, come to my own conclusions after that.
I don’t care enough about this to do the research. So, does anybody know which slur, in particular, he has now been repeatedly using?
You should try learning German songs and singing them to help with pronunciation! “Madsen” is my favorite German band for this purpose. The lead singer is (usually) easy to understand. But, nearly any singer will do. I’d avoid native English speakers singing in German, though. For instance, I love Connie Francis’s German stuff (and so did many Germans, it seems), but her pronunciation is nothing to emulate, sadly.
But how well did you learn the language? (No snark, genuine question)
Alcohol also increases your blood pressure, and that has nothing to do with the liver. Still wouldn’t be a good idea to be drunk all the time.
Every morning headaches can be a sign of sleep apnea. Not saying you have it. Go to a doctor.
I hear how terrible synthetic-ruber tires (read: all modern tires) are for the environment, and I’ve wondered why we can’t do this? If we made the cars lighter and used very good shocks? Or bikes even - they are all rubber too.
How did you disconnect from the world for a year? Did you go to some very remote location?
He’s a great manager, I’d imagine. He doesn’t need to punish anyone for poor performance. He can just give them his signature look of disappointment, and they know.
Thankfully, nvidia actually released open source drivers for their cards a couple years ago or so. Nvidia cards are much more compatible with Linux now than they used to be.
Proton is a Windows compatibility layer for games developed by Valve for Steam. It’s based on Wine. Wine originally stood for WINdows Emulator, but it now stands for “Wine Is Not (an) Emulator,” which I always found funny. Technically, it is translation layer for system calls, I think. It’s very good these days!
But really, the only thing to know about Proton is that for any game in Steam, you can go into the “compatibility” preferences and enable Proton for that game. This can allow Windows games that Valve doesn’t support to work in Linux. It’s not perfect, however. ProtonDB (database) is a website full of user reviews of how well Proton works with games. They will tell you what tweaks they used to get games working!
I had a coworker who was a night auditor at a hotel. She had two jobs, but night auditor was her “main” job. She really liked it, and she said it was mostly very quiet. At her hotel, the night auditor also checked in guests who arrived at night. She said she only had a few a night, and she worked in a tourist town.
Hey, friend. I just wanted to let you know that I couldn’t get New Vegas to run on my (up to date) Linux PC until I installed the custom Proton version called “Proton GE.” The GE stands for Glorious Eggroll, which is the username of the developer. There’s guides on how to install it on the GitHub’s readme. I know it may sound complicated to someone new, but you can do it!
Here’s a link to the read me: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom?tab=readme-ov-file#manual
Scroll down to the “native” install instructions.
Of course, you can ignore this if New Vegas just works for you as it seems to for many others. My system is MX Linux, not Mint.
I’ve been getting this message a lot in 1.5 - it may be bug. I’ve yet to have people actually get hungry on a caravan, but my trips are also 3-4 days max. (I cut my time in half by far-skipping back.)
