Futurology Today

I cannot stand Forgotten Realms. Never liked it going all the way back to 2nd edition.

Greyhawk was a MUCH better setting, with a more cohesive vision and CERTAINLY a much more interesting cosmology

Forgotten Realms is a hodge-podge of 20 settings glued together with zero appreciation for thematic crossover that has been revamped and rebooted so many times that substantial class mechanic differences DEPEND ON WHAT ERA YOU ARE PLAYING IN! That is fucking INSANE

Greyhawk presented an eternal timelessness where you could drop in on any era without having to read 5+ years of errata notes on why they renamed the negative energy plane and whether or not you are allowed to cast anything above 3rd level

The Great Wheel was, is, and will ALWAYS be the most fertile and relatable cosmology that has ever existed in a d20 setting and they changed it purely for CHANGE'S SAKE!

TL;DR: Fuck Forgotten Realms, LONG LIVE GREYHAWK!

The administration froze $400 million in funding to Columbia last month over similar concerns

I have a memory foam matress on top a cot. Every now and then I need to sun dry the mattress and cot from a decent amount of moisture trapped between the two. Is there a way to keep the moisture out or even just reduce it?

Who said it needs to be a full screenshot, right?

Hi,

First of all: thank you for this really nice app. I had been looking for a good open source alternative to Sync for quite a while now and I think this might be it! Love how customizable it is.

One thing I'm currently missing is being able to see the type of post in the "compact" feed view. A picture post and a link to an article that has a preview image, for example, cannot be distinguished.

Sync has this really nice layout where there's a thumbnail on the left and then on the right it shows the content type. You can tap that button on the right to open the content (either show image in viewer mode or open link in browser).

Would make this app basically perfect for me if this could be implemented.

So I recently built a new computer to replace my 7 year old one but I have noticed a strange problem with it.

When I boot up the computer and use it as normal it sits around 8-10 GiB of ram in use plus about another 9 GiB committed.

But when I suspend the computer then un-suspend it later the in use ram starts creeping up even if I have less running than I did when I originally booted the computer.

Last time this happened it went from 10 GiB all the way up to about 43 GiB in the space of a few hours.

If I reboot then things go back to normal behavior.

Anyone have any ideas about what I could look for to fix it?

Specs:

• Manjaro XFCE 25.0.0 Zetar
• 6.13.8-2 Kernel
• Gigabyte B860I AORUS PRO ICE ITX Motherboard
• Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF CPU
• 64GB DDR5 RAM
• 2TB M.2 NVMe

So I'm still in the US (for now) and i know the new Admin is making changes in the FDA, and other areas that could effect what ends up in the food.

I'm not sure exactly what would be effected, but I've been trying to just keep things simple, and avoid anything that i don't make myself. Like no pre-packaged foods at all. It's a pain in the ass since it takes more time, but making stuff in bulk and freezing it for later is making it doable for me.

I'm curious if anyone else is really worried about this stuff. Like RFK is a maniac who knows what sort of stuff he could start allowing in foods. Is anyone else taking similar steps, or do you think I'm over reacting to it?

Labor reform is going backwards..
