I play Skyrim SE on Linux (Via Steam) and currently have about 30 mods on it, and it runs fine. I have run Oblivion Remastered (no mods) and have experienced occasional crashes, but it is at least playable.

Not a problem for me. All the software I need is either available as native Linux or runs ok under Wine.

I’m ready to ditch Windows entirely at this point. I just need to find the best way to do that, without having to rebuild the Linux side of my dual boot PC.

Of course, it’s often a scam. But application fees can be legit. The key is how they are administered.

The fee should not be non refundable, just not refunded under certain specific circumstances.

It’s not fraud if you tell the applicant what the rental criteria are and what happens to the money if they are turned down.

In ancient times, I was a small time landlord. On a couple of occasions I asked for an application fee. I followed these rules, which I explained to the applicant:

1. The application fee was refunded if I turned down the applicant, provided the background check did not disclose a lie on the application.
2. The application fee was applied to the security deposit if I granted the rental.
3. The application fee was not refunded if the background check found a lie on the application, or if I granted the rental and the applicant changed their mind and declined to rent.

It costs money to do background checks. I wasn’t going to be out of pocket if an applicant was dishonest with me.

Nice to know that somebody in my bed is getting some.

The market has given up about one year’s gain, so people who have held diversified portfolios for longer than that haven’t really "lost"anything.

Yet.

I’m going to a local protest tomorrow. If someone asks why I’m there I’ll just say Jennie told me.

I like winter better. Things around here are often on fire during the summer.

Oh cool. Thanks for the explanation, and btw, that’s much better than the Batman logo.

Vielen Dank!

I have a basic DP question.

After discovering the strip here, I went to the website and started reading it from the beginning. Jennie always has the same logo on her shirt. What is it? I’m pretty much out of the loop on that sort of thing.

I got one point for the Walkman thing, but maybe I just forgot.

Self driving, too, provided you want to go where the horse wants to go.

No! Rilly?

Yes, very timely, considering.

The writer of the article is treating child rearing as if it requires PhD level child psychology. It doesn’t.

A child’s behavior is almost always ok if it is safe, non-destructive, legal, and NOT OFFENSIVE TO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE SAME SPACE. It doesn’t even matter if the other people’s idea of “offensive” seems reasonable or not. If their children are bothering others, a responsible parent will either curb their behavior or take them elsewhere.

The writer apparently doesn’t understand that last part.

History classes in the US cover WW2, but barely touch on the causes of WW2.

Ya, ain’t that shit the truth?

Swear words are special words, that you shouldn’t use just any fucking time you feel like it.

From Maryland, steamed blue claw crabs, or crab cakes if you don’t want to pick the shells yourself. Also Chincoteague oysters. Or actually, just about any Chesapeake Bay seafood is great.
