Yeah, and this game is 100% worth the ten bucks they're asking for. I already own it on Steam (where it cost $20 when I got back at the beginning of the year), and will happily pay another $10 to have it on my phone too.

You are correct, lol.

I enjoyed Bioshock Infinite a lot back on the Xbox 360. The whole city in the clouds but also it's the early 20th century setting was really attractive to me, and I enjoyed it pretty much throughout. Elizabeth being an actually useful NPC sidekick that you don't have to do endless shitty escort missions for was a great move. I don't understand the hate it gets after a few years have passed.

Seconding this experience with Mint 21.3, although on a laptop here. I just wanted something that works without much fucking about, and it delivers.

The guy getting milkshaked is Nigel Farage, a right-wing politician and all-round cunt, best known for being the biggest Brexit cheerleader. This incident happened yesterday as he was launching his election campaign - the UK is having a general election next month.

Mint still defaults to X. Wayland is only in experimental support on it.

The feasibility of that will be highly variable depending on where you live. Much of America is a public transit desert.

I've been working from home about 90% of the time since the pandemic lockdown era. I had a cheap office chair and had noticed my back starting to hurt after a few hours in it per day. I eventually wound up getting a Humanscale Freedom headrest chair, which has been awesome. These chairs are stupid expensive, but I bought mine used, and reeking of the previous owner's perfume. It took months for the smell to completely go away, but I saved about $1,000 over buying one new, and it is otherwise in mint condition.

My Smart TV made itself dumb when its built-in wifi just died one day. No loss.

I have real time pricing from my utility. It works out well because we charge 2 electric cars overnight for a fraction of what they would cost to charge at the standard fixed kilowatt-hour rate. My house is heated by natural gas; I don't think the savings would be there if I also was heating my house with electricity as I live in the midwest, where it gets cold as fuck for the winter.

Saw a Model S being delivered on the back of a flatbed truck to the Rt 59 supercharger station in Aurora this weekend. Every stall was occupied too.

I’m well aware, my body reminds me in new ways every day.
