I don’t use my computers for modern gaming. Like OP, I prefer tabletop games, though I do speed run crossword puzzles and play some PixelDungeon on my phone when I have spare time. I also built a Retropie, and play some old Atari and PS2 roms on a bored Sunday. My stuff can run Civ IV, which is probably the last title I bought.

My main systems are for work, or for supporting self-hosted services including local infrastructure, home lab stuff, email, blogs, home automation, media servers, etc, etc. Lately I’ve been getting into SDR projects using RPi or old laptops.

So, uh… Yeah. Fun stuff, but not so much gaming.

Usually .world upgrades late in the cycle because they’re big, and also in part because they have an outsized impact on federation issues if any should arise in the upgrade.

Also many similar reasons, but mostly because its prudent for .world to wait

Your alternatives aren’t shelf stable. That’s all there is to it.

When you simmer or slow roast tomato sauce over several hours, the sugars in the tomato release and caramelize which helps to offset acidity. If you’re finding the cooked sauce is still acidic, you can try adding other sweet vegetables such as finely grated carrot, sweet onion, or half of a raw potato (which you’d remove before serving).

That they pack your tomatoes with lemon might mean you need to actively neutralize the extra acids, which you can do with milk or cream, or just a little baking soda as you suggest. Probably not more than a pinch, though, or the sauce could lose its brightness.

Oh, jeez. I remember reading that book in elementary school!

Thanks for the horrific trip down memory lane, ya bastid. Happy Halloween, too.

Yeah, it was more salacious even that that. I decided not to post the rest.

The article mentioned a Mout’z Soudani, but went into no further detail. This article has a little more context on the investigation into Orange County and the bribery scheme.

Martin Soudani was charged and pleaded guilty last year to an alleged $1.6 million cryptocurrency scheme that was investigated by then Executive Assistant District Attorney Stewart Rosenwasser.

™The former prosecutor and retired Orange County Court Judge is accused of knowing the alleged victim, Moutz “Marty” Soudani, the suspect’s uncle, and taking almost $50,000 from him to investigate the case.

Not here. I don’t use Windows and so I rebind the Win key (or, Super) for some quick functions.

Win + L to lock the screen
Win + K to blank it
Win + C for my calculator app
Win + T (and Ctrl+Shift+T) for a Terminal
Win + Left/Right arrow to cycle to the previous/next desktop

Bonus fun, I rebind the Right Alt key to a Compose key for typing Latin-1 diacritics in non UTF-8 applications. (Plus, I can’t remember the U-codes)

Or… something. I don’t even known what I just said.

Hey just FYI: everything after the ? in those URLs is a referrer hash. It doesn’t necessarily link the share back you personally, but it’s still tracking info. It’s OK to delete it when you share video links.

You can do with that info as you like. Have a great day!

I buy all of my phones carrier-unlocked, and have never had a problem.

Potential pitfalls are if the IMEI is blacklisted, which could happen if the phone is reported as stolen, or if the radio deck isn’t compatible with your carrier’s network.

In the US, the AT&T and T-Mobile networks are pretty open, and you just need to pop in your SIM card. I don’t have experience with Verizon to know if you can bring your own device or not, but I imagine as long as the phone can work with Verizon then its probably just a matter of visiting a store to have it activated.

That’s enough Internet for me today, I think.

A cable-cutting war will be absolutely devastating to the global economy. It’s the modern equivalent of Mutually Assured Destruction. There are few viable contingency plans.

I say this as a telecom wonk: hope and pray and vote so that war never comes.
