It and Baldurs gate 3 I desperately want to finish, but a handful of hours in I won't pick it back up. Then next time I've played the intro so many times I don't even last as long.

Yeah my dude. I am surrounded by stimulus and I can't get interested in anything.
Trying Cyberpunk again but I doubt it'll last.

We could have the 25 amendment if he got his head out of his ass.

I'm a millennial. I have no equity and it seems assured that I won't have Social Security. I might still get drinking water, I'm scared about that for the zoomers.

I think this is kind of what crypto is supposed to solve. All of those platforms have to have a relationship with a payment processor and that means they may not compatible across instances. A federated space to share and display crypto wallets could do it maybe. But I don't understand crypto really and feel like the current incarnations are scams.

Preserve and separate yourself from situation at your earliest opportunity.

It happened 7 hours ago, give it time to blow up.

Ostensibly the bollards aren't on the sidewalk so the assailant drove around them

I had heard as a child that chewing tobacco added abrasives to cut open your mouth and that that was part of the cancer question. Not sure if that is a myth though.

I decided to give it a shot and am running into build errors.
Any plans to provide a Debian/Ubuntu pre built package?

Seems to be about preventing greening to reduce the natural harmful chemicals. Neat, but was hoping it had to do with preventing toxins from leeching into the toobers when they grow in poor soil.

 

Anyone on Abilify (Aripiprazole) and smoke, are you able to get high?

I have been on Lexapro for years and started smoking a few years ago with no issues.

Now I added Abilify to my mental health cocktail and have noticed that I can get high anymore. I think I have a high tolerance, I graduated from black market flower to medical 510 thread concentrate to wax. I typically smoke 3 to 5 hits over a 4 hour period after work.

So other than trying a T break, anyone experienced anything like this? This really sucks.

I just got about 100 hours on HOI4 and I cant play it at all. I have to date only won a single game (since I picked it back up recently after release), but typically the second I get into war my divisions lack organization, supply, or whatever else and I get capitulated pretty quick.

Are there any mods that take a single concept (supply, army planning, division designs, etc) and help you learn those in isolation? I watch a bunch of YouTubers and try to follow their tips but for whatever reason I am still doing it wrong.

Interestingly, I bought hoi on release and was able to world conquest on my first or second try, so I am guessing new dlc/mechanics (supply?) are probably part of the problem.

 

I am starting to detangle myself from Google and one of the services I use is YouTube.

I learned that piped exists the other day but that is just a front end for Google.

Is there a tool that I can host on my server that will let me give it YouTube links, that will then download/stream to my server and then server to my phone or computer?

I guess I am looking for a tool that will cache my YouTube videos locally and even download my subscriptions when they upload new stuff.

I'm not sure what this buys me that Piped does not, except that I am backing up videos in case they are removed.

I am working on building a new server in my apartment that will have a reasonably beefy GPU and CPU so I can get PCIE pass-through working and get a gaming VM set up.

Trouble is, my apartment is in the attic in the south. With the AC on I had one or two really bad days last year that it got up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit inside with high humidity.

Any cooling suggestions for something like that? Is 90 degrees Fahrenheit still cool enough to reduce the temperature of my components? I would really like to avoid buying a phase change cooler, but that is the only thing I can think of if the ambient is too high.

 

I got a medical card here in LA and the prices are outrageous. Getting a dablicator with full spectrum oil seems to be the most cost effective. Trouble is I can't seem to figure out how to use it.

At first I just ate it but I think I wasted $90 because I felt nothing and I don't think it was decarbed.

Next I got some refillable 510 thread vapes and a small syringe to fill it. That has been a pain but it at least works a bit.

How am I supposed to use this stuff? Is it all the same or are there different kinds? Is it decarbed at all or not meant for vaping?

 

Hey All,

Hoping you can help me grok what he is doing here. He has a capo on 2nd fret I think and it looks like he is just using simple chords, but I can't figure out what his strumming pattern is. I think it is fingerstyle but I am at a loss on how to actually replicate it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Remaining Filament Tracking (self.functionalprint)
 

Is there a way I can track how much filament is left on a roll?
Either an add-on sensor I can build or software that will track how much is used vs how much is supposed to be on the roll?

Have a Prusa Mk4 and it's working ok so far but been having trouble with very long prints so trying to figure out if my rolls have enough left

This is probably a dumb question but I am new to the guitar (about a year in to my learnings with a teacher).

I have some pedals but I want to branch out into getting a synth as well to experiment with the sound.

Does there exist a device that I can plug in to my pedal chain so I can drive it with my guitar AND play it on it's own to create sounds? Also hoping synths have a drum machine because I would like to play with a beat.

I know pedal synths exist but that isn't really what I am looking for, want a synth on its own that I could also use with the guitar but not only with the guitar if that makes sense.

Am I thinking about this wrong? Does this mythical device exist? If not anyone have some relatively entry level devices I can look at?

 

I am struggling. Only have Shadowheart and my PC at level 3.

spoilerI killed the priestess inside the silence spell but she managed to walk out and call for help on her last turn.

I then unlocked the underdark but don't want to explore that yet.

Now I have found the drow and the hobgoblin but they are surrounded by all the minons and I can't take a fight. SHould I keep exploring? I found the cave below the spiders but haven't gone in yet, had to restart that save because it was in battle and I yeeted myself off the cliff to avoid more dudes.

I love this game. As a BG1/2 fanboy and an overall hater of turn based games I felt betrayed when Larian got the IP and turned it into a Divinity clone, but I am having so much fun. It is like I am playing 5e by myself. Also talking to all the animals is so great.

 

Going to Oregon to meet some friends for a few days. They don't smoke at all but are curious and willing to imbibe a bit. I have previously gotten them edibles (Federally Legal Delta 9) but want to introduce them to some smoking as well if they are interested. I also want to get a little fucked up in a legal state.

What should I be looking for at the dispensary? I dry herb vape my black market flower down here, but I am not gonna try to get my vape through TSA.

Should I try to buy a cheap bong up there? Never used one, but I hate joints, they make my lungs burn and I cough more than I inhale.

Should I just stick with edibles? I also kind of want to try RSO but not sure I want to get THAT fucked up. I enjoy doing high doses by myself but I won't have an opportunity to be alone on this trip.
