Yes, but you would need to defend your patent and continue to file patents and variations as tech evolves to prevent work-arounds.

I’d argue that this qualifies as enshittification.

3D Printing: By the time I get home, I just don’t have it in me to tinker around.

Nicotine and I guess drinking (the second one is mostly due to getting old though haha).

I look forward to skating or riding to work most days, but some days I struggle to find motivation.

Oh, also coffee.

Not really these days but I used to do Muay Thai until I ran out of money for training. Did a couple types of Karate and some TKD as a kid as well. My skills are relatively basic though, I was always kind of a middling student. I could probably still hold my own in a fight against your average person but anyone who really knows what they’re doing would probably smoke me in short order.

I would argue all those games but Elden Ring and BG3 are more indie games (not familiar with Stellaris though).

You would probably also enjoy Dead Cells and Hollow Knight btw

Yep, big budget games from megacorporations are usually terrible because their purpose is to make money, not to be a great game that people love. Even when there’s a team of dedicated devs that genuinely want to make something great, they have to fight hard for it in many companies, often losing their vision to their employer’s drive to make money.

Remember like 2 weeks ago when Google’s very own ad networks were distributing malware?

Speak for yourself, I am a fool.

Barely had time to play anything, but Guild Wars 2, Elder Scrolls Online, and Warframe I’ve at least been collecting the daily rewards.

Played some Wordscapes and Pokemon Go on my phone, but I’m recovering from a crash so I haven’t really been feeling up to gaming recently.

Hey, it’s my namesake!

I don’t really code, on the rare occasion that I do it’s for some one-off thing I don’t really care about maintaining or documenting.

I don’t think I’d drive an SUV at all if you were concerned with cost or handling, but IMO it depends on what you need: Modern traction control with good all terrain tires can handle extremely well in snow or rain - AWD isn’t necessary.

That said, my current daily driver is an AWD manual Subaru sedan and I have to admit: It corners better and is just a bit more resistant to losing control and a little faster in regaining control. If cost is not a concern, go with an AWD sedan especially if you drive in adverse conditions a lot.

If money is tight, stick with your FWD sedan and make sure you have quality all season tires as well as keeping your brakes and related systems in good condition - this would likely be more than adequate in any reasonable conditions especially if you are already a good driver (and if not, it’s never too late to learn).

Not necessarily bad, but different razors are more or less aggressive and need to be used differently. I bought a second safety razor that was more expensive and higher quality than the first and discovered it has a much more aggressive edge so cuts me a lot easier.

Magazines are basically communities on Mbin and Kbin.

Yeah, I’m still on my original brush too lol

Trying to convince mine, she keeps buying these expensive cartridges that she ends up throwing out after a few times or they get left out and their little soap bars fuse to stuff. They suck.

There are no subs here: It’s all communities and magazines!

That said, !aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz is pretty good
