Swimming pools are the most delicious genital and ass soup.

YouTube has ads?

Works wonders for all the ads on apps targeted toward kids.

Heroic also has an option to move games to a different directory so you can move them between drives easily after they’re already installed.

I actually picked that one up on the Steam winter sale and plan on playing it soon!

Okay good! I played Control years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I picked it back up from the beginning a number of months back and got hooked. I had a price watch on Alan Wake 2 from a couple years ago and it finally hit my target so I got it. I figured I should play through the first Alan Wake so I played it and enjoyed it significantly more than I thought I would. Now I’m probably a quarter of the way through 2 and I’m really liking it a lot. I definitely want to check out Quantum Break also.

You gotta get on Alan Wake 2. I’ve been having a great time playing it. Play the first and Control before you do and you’ll see a lot of tie-ins which is pretty fun. One of the characters looks a lot like Max Payne too.

I used to work with a guy who interacted with a Hoa on a relatively regular basis. When he came into the building where she worked he would announce “Where’s that ho at?”. It was pretty hilarious and she thought it was funny too. I miss that guy he passed away last year, unfortunately.

I ran Debian as my main OS for years around 2005-2010 or so. If you run the testing branch it gets you pretty new stuff. Just don’t run the testing branch for a few months after they do a stable release as that’s when all the big breaking changes take place. Also, Trixie is still relatively new and has a new enough kernel to make most GPU stuff work well. If you need a newer kernel it’s not too difficult to build a new one and use that so you can get fresher amdgpu modules, for example.

How the mighty have fallen. 20 years ago Tom’s and Anandtech were amazing.

All my jobs back to 2002 until now I have had full authority to run any OS I like on my work computer. I’ve run nothing but Linux on all my work machines and I have convinced many coworkers to do the same.

Unreal Tournament is so good. I wish it had more assault maps out of the box.

100% this. Runs great on my Ryzen 5950x with 6900xt. Also, it’s a great game to play with my kids to teach them how to use a controller, how to navigate using a map, and it’s a great game to use while teaching them to read. I’ll sit with them and narrate the text in the game and after a while they pick it up and are able to read the text themselves.

Samsung appliances have been like this for a while. I got a Samsung dryer in 2015 and it is by far the biggest piece of crap I have ever used. Thankfully I’m good at repairing appliances but this was a next level piece of crap. It was constantly wearing out drum rollers, belts, belt tensioners, and other parts. I was having to repair it almost on a yearly basis. I ended up just stocking a bunch of parts in a cabinet in the laundry room so when it failed I was able to fix it the same day. There are some 3rd party parts kids where they provide upgraded parts that seem to last longer. The drum rollers and belt tensioner pulley use low quality bushings that I upgraded to a 3rd party ball bearing parts and that made a big difference in reliability. I gave it to my mom and warned her about the issues with it and stocked her up on parts so anytime she has an issue she calls me and I can repair it the same day. Thankfully it’s not too difficult to work on.

A friend of mine got an entire Samsung appliance package and he dreads that decision every day. He hates his fridge, dishwasher, washer, and dryer.

Years ago I got two Bosch dishwashers and those have been great. Only minor repairs like replacement spray arms and a replacement rack glide have been needed on those. Otherwise they have been solid units and have fantastic performance.

A few years ago I got a GE combo washer/heat pump unit and it is definitely more convenient than separate units but it does have some flaws. The drain pump filter needs more maintenance than a typical unit. Some of the gunk gets past the drain filter and has caused the drain pump to clog. The dryer filter lets some lint past which causes the evaporator coil to clog somewhat over time. Cleaning the evaporator is difficult as access is quite limited so I had to buy some special long reach cleaning brushes and vacuum attachments. Sometimes the door doesn’t unlock when it’s supposed to because of a firmware issue. And lastly it causes more wrinkles in clothes than a conventional dryer.

And use CEPH as your filesystem.

This was a tough one for me. One thing that helped was always having nail clippers and a file at my desk at home and work. Any time I felt the urge to bite a nail I would use the clippers and file instead. Over time I have been able to taper down the biting quite a lot and now I’m to the point where I can grow my nails out. The ring fingers are by far the toughest to quit as they’re the most satisfying ones to bite. ADHD medication also helped.

You’re quite a bit behind on BIOS version so I’d update that first and then run memtest86+ which you can install from the arch repo and it will show up in your grub menu.

We run 2-5 loads of dishes a day as we do a ton of cooking at home. With a single dishwasher we’d have to immediately unload and load the next batch or we wouldn’t be able to keep up and it was exhausting. With two we can keep up with the dishes a lot better. It’s awesome to have another dishwasher available to put the dirty dishes in when the other is running. And when we host stuff at our house it’s awesome to be able to wash everything at once.
