Didn’t they also have the thinner Prius wheels? I seem to recall that this made then much easier to drift/break the back loose.

Reminds me of the story of Golgafrincham from the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy books:

The planet Golgafrincham creatively solved the problem of middle managers: it blasted them in to space.

Golgafrinchan Telephone Sanitisers, Management Consultants and Marketing executives were persuaded that the planet was under threat from an enormous mutant star goat. The useless third of their population was then packed in Ark spaceships and sent to an insignificant planet.

That planet turned out to be Earth.

Same on the computer thing, but I feel that knowing how to tear a computer (or anything, really) apart reduces the “I don’t think I can do this” threshold a bit. Not having a choice also helps, as in “Oh, the turbo died and all the shops say it’ll cost more than the car is worth to replace? Guess I’m learning how to swap a turbo.”

Don’t forget your purity seals!

This is unironically true for the Mediflow water-filled pillow, which is a) amazing and b) guaranteed to knock your pillow fight opponent right the fuck out

Now here is someone who knows how to treat an hp

Agreed. I’ve been using Krita quite a bit lately and honestly, it’s really good. I haven’t used an Adobe product for a few years, but it’s been able to do everything I want it to do so far.

Yeah, switched to a different company for kitchen stuff, bought it on their site and everything, felt good about it.

Delivery day comes, guess who delivered the package? Amazon. So that was great.

Looks like issues transferred over

That’s definitely been true in the past, but the gap’s narrowed a lot. GIMP (with plugins) and Krita cover most Photoshop-style workflows, and Inkscape does a pretty good job with vector work. For many graphic design tasks, Linux has solid native tools now—just takes a bit of adjustment if you’re used to Adobe.

Perkele, kun vituttaa tämä helvetin krapula, mutta jumalauta, pitäähän sitä silti saatanan kauniina kesäpäivänä mennä pihalle perseilemään ja hitto soikoon, nauttia elämästä—vaikka päässä jyskyttää kuin paholaisen pikkuserkku vetäisi siellä Lordia rumpusoololla.

There are a number of good, non-US-based email alternatives. Both mailbox.org and tuta are based in Germany, and I’ve had good luck with Runbox in Norway.

For Android, check out LineageOS or GrapheneOS if you have a Pixel.

The Norwegian Meteorological Institute has good data and a great data sharing policy:

We have a free and open data policy, which means that anyone may use our material freely and for benefit of society.

Fun fact: They are the default weather data provider for Home Assistant!

I wish I could play Dishonored again for the first time. So good. Have you played Prey?

I played a lot (1400+ hours) of The Long Dark up until a few years ago. I’m checking out the DLC content I missed, and it’s very good to be back. The “new” content and maps are very good.

Also, Alan Wake 2 after Control is quite enjoyable, but I think I like Control a little more. The tv ads in AW2 are very funny though, compared to the creepy puppet bits in Control.

Thank you! It was a fair amount of work, so that’s nice to hear.

“I wrote an email to Google Gryzzl to say, ‘you have access to my computer, is that right?’”, he added.

Later that day

Nice job! Z500?
