I loved exile so much! It was made by pesto studios and I feel like cyan wouldn’t want to make any of the non cyan Myst games. However they sought after and received the rights to all of the Myst games. So who knows, maybe they would.

This demos so well! I played the original 1997 Riven, I hope 2024 Riven can make an impression on newcomers!

It’s so deep, expansive and immersive and I’m not sure if there is anything else out there that has the same feel.

symbicort

It’s an inhaler corticosteroid and anti inflammatory often used for asthma but incredible for post infection cough.

If I’m ever sick and have a cough, this puts a stop to that symptom and recovery is so much faster. Don’t even touch any over the counter cough medicine over this imo.

Awe, and it’s so respectful to the bats, too; it’s sweet to hear.

This is cool. I use an app a lot like this but for my puppy. Logging is super helpful at the start of getting a puppy and trying to track bowel habits and training progress.

If you ever feel like it, a mode for tracking puppies is useful. I currently use “Doggy Time” by a developer that also makes a similar baby tracker.

Yes! It’s much nicer than fdroid.

I love this, it’s an emotionally regulated rant that’s so eloquently written that it’s more intelligent and informative than the article in question.

I would agree with this answer for the Zeitgeist of how Canadians see Albertans from a stereotypical way, and this is true for our rural population. But politically, Ontario takes the Alabama cake for voting in so many Ford’s so many times. How do you guys keep doing this?

I have had USB-C phones, battery packs and other devices since 2015. Not a single port or cable has failed me so far.

Worrying about the durability of USB-C 7 years later seems unwarranted. But I can see wanting to use up your lighting cable subscription before moving on.

I told my partner, just get the phone ASAP when you can, it’s the only non usb thing we have left.

I’ve read all the responses here and am horrified that you seem to live in an ungrounded plastic bubble. Is that a Canberra thing? Or can’t even find a small metal object the size of a coin to make discharging painless, how why?

If it’s an old house there should be tonnes of metal things to touch.

Corners of walls, radiators or central air vents or return air vents, screws on switches or power outlets, furniture with metal bits on it, sinks taps and water fixtures with metal parts, thermostat, fireplace casing.

Literally touch everything and report back.

Yeah wall corners are often metal and the paint on it seems to soften the discharge.

Damn, I was going to suggest this, I do it all the time. Perhaps shuffle around and touch everything in sight until you find something that zaps and therefore discharges you. Once you find something grounding (zappy) touch that before you touch your dog.

I’ll take one

So I’m the kind of person who runs back ups using two synologies and is more of a GUI guy. I use mac and pcs very fluently but I’m not entirely terminal or command line literal.

Will something like this cause more problems if I’m looking to get rid of Google drive and start switching to next cloud or will this make my life easier?

The math we did was that the price was lower than an insurance deductible, and future rate hikes because of that. We also told our insurance company about it, and they said it reduced our home insurance cost. We halved our home insurance cost between the sinope, alarm system, pipe replacement, and changing providers.

For the sinope, you must consider installation cost if you want a plumber to do it. That probably adds hundreds.

I second this!

Most people who have heard of water sensors know of the moen one. I’m in Canada, and my plumber recommended a Canadian company, Sinope. They were much less expensive and had a sensor in the line and ones you could put in and around appliances that use water.

The in-line flow sensor shuts off the water if it senses abnormal flow anywhere. But the physical sensors shut off the water when it’s leaking at that spot.

We’ve had no leaks, but the flow sensor shut off the water when I filled the kiddie pool and forgot to turn it off. It also cuts short, excessively long showers (that can be turned off).

The safety net is fantastic to have. We can install that freezer ice cube maker without a worry.

This is the way

I definitely prefer premium over my personal data being the product for “free”.

As I get older I’m appreciating paid electronic services and content when done responsibly in exchange for a private ad-free and well done experience. But it’s taking a lot to get over my decades of conditioning assuming everything on a computer and internet should be “free”.

I’ve enjoyed my kagi premium search trial and seeing the prices is a bit much. But getting really good search results and having the webpage or search run so fast and seeing my ad blocker greyed out because there were no ads and trackers to block is surreal this day and age.

I just wish we had a better way of trusting telegram. The only thing encrypted by default is secret chats. I’d buy premium if it made all chats including group chats started by the user encrypted by default.

I really really want to move from google workspace, google photos and google drive. I used it all to backup a 16TB archive, sharing photos with family and friends and keeping my personal files in the cloud and synched across computers. I used a Synology to backup the archive from the computer locally to the Synology and offsite to google drive. But here’s the thing, I’m a somewhat PC and Mac-savvy technical guy, but purely GUI. Is moving to Nextcloud on my synology going to be as easy as moving to google drive? I’m a little scared TBH. There are so many ways of installing next cloud and doing 3-2-1 backups and I don’t have time to handle a little error on a Synology destroying my whole workflow for days… Someone give me hope.
