To piggyback on this comment - if you normally use store-bought tortillas, try making your own instead. They're easy and cheap to make, and taste way better IMO. (Plus they won't have all the preservatives and other additives).

All you need is flour, a fat (traditionally lard, but I've also used butter, ghee, olive oil, or bacon grease with good success), some salt, water, and a skillet or griddle. Some people also use baking powder, but I think it's fine without (I prefer my tortillas to be chewy rather than fluffy).

Interesting bee fact -

In a hive that has been queenless for a period of time (long enough that there's no way they can raise a replacement queen), one or more workers may develop the ability to lay unfertilized eggs.

Due to how honeybee genetics work, those unfertilized eggs can hatch into drones (males), which may then have the opportunity to mate with queens from nearby colonies.

I guess this is sort of a last ditch effort to propagate the hive's genetic material before it fizzles out and dies. Which I think is fascinating.

I haven't tried this so I can't vouch for it, but it looks like you can add custom domains to a whitelist per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1292986

So in your case, something like

browser.fixup.domainsuffixwhitelist.work = true

may work.

3.11 was WfW, and ran on top of DOS just like 3.1 did.

NT 3.51 used the NT kernel, and (mostly) looked like 3.1/3.11 on the surface. NT 4 used the NT kernel, and (mostly) looked like Win95.

Win 95/98/Me also ran on DOS, though it was more tightly integrated than it was in the 3.1 days.

Win 2k and everything after was based on NT.

If you have like-minded friends, start your own. Even if none of you have ever played before, there are plenty of resources online to help you figure it out.

If not, local game stores will often have bulletin boards where groups post that they're looking for players or players post that they're looking for a group. If the store has space to play, you can sometimes even join in on games there.

Or if you don't mind playing online ( personally I don't care for it) you can sometimes find a game to join on sites like roll20.

Agreed. Looks like a variegated carpet beetle.

I don't have an alternative program to suggest, but there are some workarounds for using redshift.

First, in the config file, you can set the location provider to manual, then specify a lat/lon and it will use that location in its time calculations. I do this on my laptop, and it works well except for when I cross multiple timezones - things are obviously off a bit.

Second, with the caveat that I haven't tried this, it looks like you can also manually set dawn/dusk times in the config, which sounds like what you're after.

See man 1 redshift for more info.
