Same, but for some reason my wife doesn’t like the look of high refresh rate in games for the exact reason I don’t like low refresh. I played Jedi Survivor on PS5 for a little bit and felt uneasy until I found a setting to switch it from quality to performance. I was getting very mild headache and nausea symptoms until switching that, especially when spinning the camera around quickly. Running it in higher framerate also made timing in gameplay much easier. The only drawback was that cutscenes broke immersion because they were still locked at 30fps.

I really wish that game devs would prioritize achieving 60fps above 4k resolution. This question is even assuming that 60fps is the lowest acceptable option, yet it’s still not a given even at 2k yet. EA released a game in 2023 that runs in 30fps by default. I enjoyed the game overall, but it ran like dog shit, crashed multiple times, and felt a little short/barren to me. I could excuse all of that if it were a smaller company or the first year of the console’s life, but neither of those were the case in any way.

Anyway, yeah 60fps should be the bare minimum, but it still sometimes isn’t, and it literally makes me sick.

Reduce carb portions and replace with larger veggie portions, and understand that corn and potatoes and other starch vegetables are just carbs (but it seems like you already know that). You may need larger protein portions in your meals to feel more full, and that’s fine if your choosing lean proteins, which it seems like you already are.

Don’t be afraid of having fat in your diet, just avoid overly greasy stuff like too much fried food.

Overall, you’ll probably be fine to do what you’re doing, but stop insisting on having a ton of bread. Just control your portions, limit bread, and be conscious of how much sugar you’re actually eating in a day because that shit is in pretty much everything. If you’re rarely eating out and rarely eating processed crap like TV dinners and rarely drinking calories and rarely reaching for sweets and snacks, then you’re gonna do great! It takes a shitload of jogging to undo even a modest treat. Having two double stuff oreos sets you back 140 calories, which will probably take you about a mile and a half to work off. If you ask me, oreos just ain’t fucking worth it lol.

Bathtub.

Filled with jolly ranchers.

Welp, better late than never.

I would love to be proven wrong, but I’m not sure there’s anything in our wildest dreams that could snap anybody in his base out of their trance at this point. What line is there that he hasn’t already crossed?

Too clever for such a stupid man to come up with. Your throwaway joke while taking a shit is beyond his capabilities.

I’m pretty much always coming back to Rocket League with a couple of friends. We’re probably gonna get Space Marine 2 soon to play together too.

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remake with my wife because she’s never seen it. We also started Dead Space. Right now our main obsession is passing the controller back and forth to play Dredge.

I also have a create a pro career I will play off and on in FC 24 and NHL 24 (both were included with PS+, don’t @ me lol).

Because of PS+, I’ll try a new game every few weeks. Some really keep my attention like Tunic and The Forgotten City did, and some get deleted almost immediately like Car Mechanic Simulator and Ride 5. I’m always trying something new.

Mexico is a nice time, and you can get good deals on all inclusive places. In general, Cancun is more about partying and Playa del Carmen is more about chilling and/or shopping. My wife and I have been to The Reef 28 in Playa del Carmen twice which is adults only and all inclusive with access to their sister resorts nearby and it was a great time. If you book through them directly you can get a bundle that includes flight and transportation to and from the Cancun airport, and they’ll work with you to get deals on snorkeling or whatever you wanna do. Just don’t pay for anything in the airport, they’re scams.

Most importantly, have the vacation that you want and have the time that you want. You can see the sights, do adventures, or loaf, and it’s your call what you want to do with your vacation.

Brining the chicken including the eggs in the fridge and the other ones are the same as the first time. Jet fuel filter change complicates the ordeal, yet the only thing I need for it was to make sure they were not in there. Chickens and cows are the best for you and your entire family and friends with the best of us all inside the same world. Never attempt to be honest with the kids about the time you guys were able to get a new deboning done by Friday night and the other one was a little bit better than the yesterday. Salted butter and buttered salt are essentially the same thing as the other, but it’s not that long ago that burning up and being really hard on the couch could be a good day for the chicken bones or two and a half of the meat.

Bump for visibility! All should hear the good word!

The problem for me is that nothing populates unless I manually choose some starting words in my life and I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t think I can do it all day but I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t know what to do that I don’t think it is a good idea to get it to the house today but I don’t think it will be a good idea to get it done but I don’t think it is a good idea to get it to the house today but I don’t think it will be a good idea to get it to the house today but I don’t think it will be a good idea to get it to the house today.

Seems to have found a problematic loop for the first time in the world but I think I have a lot of work to do in the morning and I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the beach and get a little bit of the time to get it done but I don’t know what to do with it but I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today but I can get it to you tomorrow morning and I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today but I don’t think I can get it to you when I get home and I’ll be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today but I don’t think I can get it to you if you want to go to the house today but I don’t think it will be a good time to get it to you and I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today.

This shit sucks that I don’t think I have a lot of money to do it all the time but I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t know what to do that I don’t think it will be a good idea to get it to the house today but I can do it all day and then I’ll be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today.

Terrible. Just terrible it was a good day for me to get a new job and I was just going to say I was going to be a little late but I don’t know if you want to go to the store or something else but I can do it all day long but I can get it to you when I get home and I’ll be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today.

I learned this method from my grandmother when I was a child, God rest her soul. I’ve tried with kerosene when I didn’t have jet fuel in my pantry, but it just wasn’t the same. Don’t even bother prepping the cow until you’ve verified your supply of jet fuel.

If we make sure that billionaires can keep more of their billions, then surely some of their billions will trickle down to the very same destination that taxing them in the first place would have ensured that it would end up at. It’s actually smarter that way because it’s an investment that accrues interest and they will also employ people who otherwise would’ve been suckling on the teat of big government social programs. Billionaires actually are paying more money into our systems by being job creators than if they were taxed like the middle class are.

Just kidding. Can you imagine actually believing bullshit like that? Fuck, that kinda made my stomach churn to even pretend to believe in.

I’m super behind and that mostly doesn’t matter, which is nice. Excellent podcast. Currently on part 3 of the Thomas Jefferson deep dive. For people who like Behind The Bastards, check out their limited run of Behind The Police.

I just finished episode 48 on my first runthrough. Seriously good shit.

The camera on my Pixel 5a shit the bed, so I just replaced it with the 8a. Because everything else about it still works fine, I keep it around as a home Wi-Fi device. Most of what I use it for is playing spotify. I have a waterproof Bluetooth speaker for in the shower and I’m not even bothering teaching the new phone to connect to it.

If OP has an old phone as a backup, yeah I can see it fulfilling this need really easily. There are even pretty thorough parental control options (on Android at least) to have a separate user profile for a kid and have control of that user supervised through another device.

If OP doesn’t have an old phone for this use case, probably the best bet is to either buy a used, older phone and set that stuff up or just find an old used iPod or similar. If something like spotify is essential to this plan, newer iPod touch models running iOS 15 support spotify. Otherwise, you can find a pretty basic mp3 player for under $50, but you’ll need to source music files yourself for that ;)

I’m in a similar boat. There have been some setbacks, but I’ve been planning a desktop build to replace my gaming laptop from 2015 for a long while now. SteamOS has given me the confidence to commit to an AMD build with a Linux OS. I’ve been on the fence between a few distro options though. Maybe mint, maybe Nobara, there have been a few others.

No, but 100 dead troops is enough to grandstand about to get enough outrage to justify an all-out war in the region.

No, it’s more like “if Larry gets a 10% grade reduction for turning his paper in a day late to you, then I shouldn’t be getting this 20% grade reduction for turning this paper in a day late to you.” It’s more of a call for things to be fair and give everybody equal treatment.

There was a recent court decision regarding Donald Trump that, more or less, appointing a special counsel for the purposes of DOJ impartiality is not constitutionally acceptable. As a result, Hunter Biden, who was investigated and prosecuted via special counsel in order to maintain impartiality from the DOJ since his father is the sitting president, essentially argued that “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” Meaning that if Donald Trump should have his case dismissed under the pretext of special counsel being an invalid idea, then so too should Hunter Biden. That decision was already generally seen as fucking silly, but the silliness was put on full display for partisan hacks and their audience.

I was certain that a gander was a group of geese. Why? Because apparently everybody who has ever used the phrase “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander” around me was using it wrong. I just learned this week that a gander is a male goose. So based on misuse, I thought that the phrase meant that what’s beneficial for one is beneficial for the greater group, but what it really means is that what’s acceptable in the case for one should be equally acceptable for others in the same situation.

I’m nearly 36 and I would say that I’m smarter than most people, but this was a gaping hole in my knowledge that was pretty damn humbling to learn of and correct.
