Scrivener is pretty damn good if you’re into writing.

For novels, screenwriting or things like DnD it’s got a corkboard with scene cards you can drag and drop around to make the story flow better.

It also has character management with little cheat sheets for notes. You can track character persona/relationships nicely.

$60, lifetime purchase with free upgrades and you can install on all your computers in your household

My favorite comment on playing D&D in the 80s was one dudes mom that claimed it was satanic and sat in on a session.

She ended up storming out after exclaiming “This is just math!”

It tickeled me. Especially thinking about this mom sharing her survalence of D&D at her next Sunday church gathering…

I love this idea haha

I was looking at Fallout 76 since its 90% off but what’s the concensus on it? Plan is to play with the wife.

“It gets good at season 3”

No UPS?

Do you track your outages to get your metric of 46 or is it just a random number?

Workstation: 24 days. Daily driver. Laptop Linux mint

GPU desktop: 0 days. Custom gaming desktop hooked up to my tv in the living room. Powered on only during use.

Home Server: 0 days. SFF HP in a moving box. Planned to build and setup services. Got my laptop running a few things on as needed.

I have text notifications turned on for all activity. If I ever get a ping when I didn’t use my card I’d be all over it.

Yeah. I kept eating junk but it’s easier to ween off instead of dropping all junk cold turkey.

This is why I mentioned I stopped buying Oreos and switched to fruit/nuts.

When I first started eating healthy I bought healthy snacks too. Then watching the serving size with a food scale.

I then realized I can still eat the crap junk food I did before just keep to the serving size.

So instead bringing a pack of Oreos to my computer and eating 8~13 while gaming I get 3 with half a glass of milk and leave the pack in the kitchen.

Eventually I stopped buying Oreos and switched to nuts / fruit.

Lost 20 lbs

Best I got is trusting my gut feeling.

15 years ago we had a blizzard.
I’m driving a company car on a highway.
My boss called me telling me I can go home for the day.
I’m younger and dumb so I tell him I know how to drive so I’m going to finish my last stop first.
Going 60mph in the slow lane. Barely any cars.

Then I see a cluster of five cars going 80mph~ (15 over the limit like people normally do) while tailgating each other.

My Spidey sense freaks out. I lay off the accelerator and just slow all the way down to 40 and let them pass. Don’t wanna be near them at all.

Once they’re about 200(?) yards ahead of me all of them hit the brakes. Front car slides rotating 90° and gets ping ponged around in front of me Black ice

Hit my brake. Does nothing.
Start white knuckleing.
See the fast lane/brake down open.
I rotate my wheel just enough to start a turn and clear them just in time. All five hit each other or the walls.

Holy shit I’m glad I listened to my gut
Even if you think you know how to drive. Fucking idiots can still kill you.

This is a fantastic example of the benefits of open source and contributions

This is crazy. It works fine now!!

Voyager.

Sync.

When I open the image it’s still cut off. Using Voyager

And somehow making the next generation even dumber.

Its the next level of: “I don’t need to remember things because Google can tell me.”

Yeah needs more green text

Yeah if they had a color eInk screen on the fridge door that was fully configurable it’d be neat.

Fridge/freezer temp, filter life, current weather, family calendar, holidays, cooking alarms(?)

Male it a LED display and stream videos for the kids (who somehow don’t have tablets when you have a smart fridge)

Basically homebrew a smart screen and tack it on with magnets…

Yep. I’m waiting at least 2 years.

Yeah the stampedes and shootouts are all over.
