We’re Alive. It doesn’t feel like a normal podcast - more like listening to a movie. A movie with tons of zombies.

Barakamon. Super cozy story of a man moving to a small island and learning/improving while interacting with the locals (and a bit of a rascal child). Great series. I’ve rewatched it several times.

Forget apple, we need more banana/banana creme ice cream flavors.

Exactly this. I don’t like Vance, but I can’t blame him for wearing a shirt while swimming. Sun shirts are way better than applying sunscreen every so often.

Fuck that noise too.

Thank you for this, I’m going to set up my own Open RSC server tonight.

That’s okay, it had to be done.

You’re right, but it does still work.

Downloading music from YouTube will get you MP3s, but they will have gone through the YT compression algorithms.

Use Deemix instead. Downloads MP3s straight from the Deezer servers with all metadata and album art.

I personally use VGCollect. I also keep a spreadsheet of all my physical media.

Is this worth it on Xbox One? A used copy is pretty cheap at GameStop. Wouldn’t want it on PC due to EA junk.

Dry roasted edamame. High on fiber and protein without being super caloric. Perfect for feeling full without having to eat too much.

More like short them. This is going to be devastating for their business. I could see them losing tons of customers.

My parents bought me My Neighbor Totoro when I was a kid. I absolutely loved every second of it. Then I came across Ranma 1/2. Next came Kiki’s Delivery Service. It kind of snowballed after that.

Pets are not investments. They are friends and family. Sometimes you’ll do anything possible to save them, even if it’s spending a ton of money.

Everyone else has described the complications that a Mac mini would have. So why not consider something else? Lenovo, HP, and Dell make 1l ultra small form factor PCs and they’re pretty cheap on eBay. They’re also low power. Search for Tiny Mini Micro to find information.

I have three Lenovo Thinkcentre machines - two with 32gb RAM and one with 64gb RAM - running my Proxmox VE cluster. Highly recommend using those small machines instead of a Mac mini.

I enjoyed playing through the remaster on PC. But after 100%ing the game, any time I’ve felt like playing it I just end up running the international version in an emulator.

Hike the entirety of the AT and the PCT.

Go bikepacking more frequently. Or go on a months long trip.

Make art - photography, digital art, linocut.

Help friends and family with projects.

That’s the short version. There are so many possibilities once you remove the need to be tied to a job/computer for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I would love to have the freedom to simply not work. I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be able to exist without having to work.

^ This. We try to enforce Microsoft Authenticator company wide and we will never be able to completely ditch call/text as an option. We have a ton of users that don’t have smart phones. We have a policy to only allow call/text if a user specifically requests it.
