Dang, you are patient!

Damn. Trailers are splashed to make a show look good, but that was just one set of scenes from the pilot. That was fuckin awesome.

I haven’t played Balder’s Gate 3 yet, so I’d say I’m patient.

Really cool little dive into some old school techniques

Legit? If you have a costume, you’re getting candy if you come to my house. Age has nothing to do with it.

This one is my biggest challenge too… I wish there was, like, a “trial” instance that folks were automatically signed up for and then after 30 days they had to switch and find another instance.

Once you’re in the door it’s lovely, but that first barrier to entry scares people off.

…is it weird that I actually like this part of it? It feels like it allows there to be different “flavors” of communities, and I can decide which flavor I like and which one I don’t.

I can see how it would get frustrating as a poster trying to figure out which community will get the most reach.

I actually did some googling and there are some okay-ish articles debating this topic. All of them said “it depends”, which isn’t really helpful.

It got me thinking, though… how much savings would you need to make it worth it to you? ($20 savings? $100 savings? $500 savings?)

The oil heater is going to cost ~$50 to purchase if you don’t already have one. That means you’ll at least need to save $50 just to break even. So over the winter, your electric bill will need to drop by $50 plus whatever the dollar amount you need in order for it to be “worth the trouble” for you.

If an extra $50 over the winter in savings ($100 total) is worth it to you, I think you have a high chance of an oil room heater getting you that savings over your central heating. I’m doubtful how much more you’d be able to save beyond that. (I didn’t do the math on it, but based on the articles I read, the oil heater is going to be cheaper in general.)

Another thing to consider: The oil heater is likely to be a lot more convenient to use than the central air option and having to close all the other vents in your house though.

You aren’t a fuckup because you weren’t smart enough to protect yourself from getting hurt by others. Your parents are supposed to be looking out for you and they are not. They are to blame, not you.

There was a great DefCon talk recently about how a guy gained credibility on the dark web over the course of a few years and it was easy to do by just being helpful to others. People tend to trust those who are helpful.

After awhile, he got busted and the feds took over his ToR identity and used his credibility to bust some criminals on the dark web.

I recommend being suspicious of everyone you interact with online.

I don’t know Eric Andre lived on the eastern seaboard

This guy showers!

Have you tried a “shower orange”? Can’t recommend it enough.
