Because all the cool people are too busy homebrewing tabletop RPGs instead.

This might be controversial, but the new Denis Villeneuve movies are much better than the book. Maybe watch the movies and read the book or trawl the wiki after for more context.
Well, you know the old adage: “Good artists copy, great artists steal”
This is either a bug with the graphics driver (easy to fix) or a hardware fault with the graphics chip (new laptop time).
Check to see if the graphical corruption only happens in macOS using something like a Linux live USB. If it’s still there, it’s a hardware problem.
If it goes away, back up her information using Time Machine and reinstall macOS.
Modern roads having subscription services aren’t even new: we pay for our roads with gas tax, registration fees, parking fees, and congestion pricing… And it’s still not enough, so we take from income and property tax to make up the difference.
You get a silver star for trying. This article is just too much for AI to re-write.
Ehhhhh, I don’t know if I agree with this.
American “culture” has had a whole bunch of definitions, usually changing with the decades. For most of the 20th century, you could point to something and say “That’s American”; things like milkshake bars and greasers, anything surrounding the hippie movement (that we actually probably stole from somewhere else), and… Whatever that strange design of random shapes the 90s had.
After 2000, there hasn’t been really anything that stands out, in part due to the rise of the internet, and in another, the dangerous build environment. In order to have culture, people need to congregate in a place and create something meaningful. Because Americans go to work and then go home, often with little-to-no time in between from long commutes, they have no time to create the next “culture moment”.
“Technically correct” is the best form of correct. Though having tried setting up Wireguard in the past, having a dead-simple solution like Tailscale might be worth trying it out, especially with the 100 device free tier
IoS - internet of shit
With the enshittification of streaming platforms, a Kodi or Jellyfin server would be a great starting point. In my case, I have both, and the Kodi machine gets the files from the Jellyfin machine through NFS.
Or Home Assistant to help keep IOT devices that tend to be more IoS. Or a Nextcloud server to try to degoogle at least a little bit.
Maybe a personal Friendica instance for your LAN so your family can get their Facebook addiction without giving their data to Meta?
I haven’t used Tailscale myself, but it seems like it’s basically just a Wireguard frontend.
Times are tough, but here’s what’s worked for me so far:
Depending on your circumstances, you might only have to work for 20 years, and if you do what you love, it won’t feel like work.
It’s kinda true, but less exciting than the person made it sound.
gargoyle (n.)
“grotesque carved waterspout,” connected to the gutter of a building to throw down water clear of the wall … from Old French gargole
gargle (v.)
1520s, from French gargouiller “to gurgle, bubble” (14c.), from Old French gargole “throat, waterspout”
That’s a good one, but I believe OP wants it to be personalized to their area
I mean, you could probably put a short version of your title like “How Polluted Are Our Waterways”, but you should have a tighter title that’s not a question like “Our Polluted Waterways and the Threat They Pose”.
This is why routine Preventative Maintenance is important. My job strives for World Class Manufacturing, so I hear all the manufacturing buzzwords all day everyday.
If they are 12 hour shifts, so that the people can head home at 5 with everyone else. If they are 8 hour shifts, usually for the later shifts to have an okay life balance: 5-2 for day shift, 2-11 for second shift, and a third shift option that overlaps.
Even though I’m a night person, 5 is a common time to wake up for enough people who presumably want to be productive, and the benefit of getting off work before the school day ends has to be enticing. And on the second shift side of things, they get to have lunch with loved ones before going to work, and 11 is early enough that they could potentially go out for drinks or other fun before bed.
It’s also nice that for either shift, the person has time to run errands at a time when most stores are open and activity levels are low.
I used to have a custom ROM that would allow me to change the color based on which app had the most recent notification: FB was Blue, SMS was Green. Let me be prepared ahead of time if it was going to be important or not.
If I’m honest, video games and computers in general. The community has some to do with it, I guess, but more because the people making them just seem to not care about the customers at all anymore.
If I had to put my feeling into words, its that they try to make things at the smallest possible cost with the highest return possible, including throwing ads into everything (making for a poorer experience for the users), while simultaneously making everything bland so they can appeal to everyone.
Ten years ago, I loved video games, and now the only “next-gen” console I have is a Switch and a Steam Deck. I used to be a huge Windows fan, but now I can hardly stomach Windows 11, and run Linux exclusively as much as possible.
Big tech ruined tech. Big video games ruined video games.
