Wth… shows Thursday on my machine…

If you don’t test for it, it WILL rear it’s ugly head again.

Anecdotal, but I’ve seen banana plants push out leaves vertically nearly that fast at their peak growth. Each leaf can be close to 6ft long, maybe longer. They shoot straight up out of the top of the plant when they come out, so they do temporarily add that much height.

When the leave gets completely pushed out, it unfolds and leans to the side and in the end only adds a foot or less to the full height.

Not sure if that counts, but they are fun plants to have. I’m in Midwest America… so you don’t have to be in a tropical area to grow them, but we do have to cut it down every year and cover it in mulch and leaves to protect it.

Our biggest gets to 16-18ft tall every year. One of it’s children we’ve given away is a bit bigger.

I loved the Gameboy game by a similar name but never tried any other versions, figuring it wouldn’t translate well. Sounds like I was right.

To this day, the only thing that has scratched my swinging itch since I was that young kid has been the insomniac Spiderman games.

Haven’t gotten back around to the Ultimate Alliance games yet, but I recently picked up the XMen Legends games that preceed them on the OG Xbox.

Still quite a bit of fun.

I actually found and picked up Midnight Sons when I was looking on the PS store to see if those games had been ported.

I love Midnight Sons. It’s very similar in a lot of ways but the gameplay is quite different. I’m told it’s like XCom games by the same company, but I’ve never played that.

Interacting with your team back at base is definitely bigger than in XMen legends, and for some gamers it was too much… a bit of ‘friendship simulator’ to it to increase team chemistry etc.

The gameplay is card based. I recommend looking up a video if curious. It’s not for everyone, but those who love it really love it. Count me as one of them.

His name was Marauder Shields…

I saw a trailer the other day. It’s real.

Same. Could use a reread. What a great book.

Goldeneye did allow this. Crazy. Hard to use other buttons though.

Yep. I found it fascinating. I think the version I had probably had a forward from Asimov talking about how we were wrong about guesses about Venus.

I don’t remember much else from the story except this, and the big reveal of the whodunnit. (Or more accurately the how).

There was a young adult sci fi series by Asimov called ‘Lucky Starr’ and I remember Venus was Oceanic in that one. Old old series.

Thanks, I’m leaning towards getting started with Linux and then investigating options from there. The opensuse someone else recommended also looks interesting.

Thanks. I’ve heard of the bootloader issue so I was planning on separate drives for Linux vs windows.

I love powershell, so I’m not afraid of the CLI, but it is daunting.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I meant to add… very long term goal if I get comfortable enough would be to maybe even try to convert my wife… but photoshop/Adobe Creative suite is a must have… how is that on Linux these days? Would this affect what distro I should aim for in that instance?

Did you try others before settling on Pop OS? Is there a largest reason it worked best for you?

Thanks, haven’t heard of this one, looking into it now.

Oh good. I was worried they were defenseless.
