Fwiw, being best friends and living together isn't that far off from dating. It's so fun to live with your best friend too, like all the sleepovers, campouts and hangouts combined :D (if you can't tell, I miss living with some of my best buds in uni!)

Sounds like a fun living situation, even if it did have its normal ups and downs. Sometimes one bedroom can be kinda a bit much, haha.

Check out refilleries in your area if you have them. You'll pay a bit of a premium, but they are usually high quality, local goods and low/no plastic. Usually stuff like soaps, personal care, that sort of thing. They are a godsend if you or someone you know is allergic to fragrance(s) too, as they have a variety of unscented soaps, dishwasher detergent, etc.

And, you get to bring your own bottles to refill, which is kinda nice if you like to buy in bulk.

Sugar is gonna be hard to find, since it has to be imported, unless you have sugarbeet farms in your area.

Pat ain't perfect, but I think he was on the right track overall. Fix the the CPU issues, and do more R&D on GPUs.

Your products don't have to be cutting edge, but they must be rock solid and reliable. Once that is dialed in, then push towards the cutting edge.

I also think it is imperative to keep the foundry business. Now that we are completely fucked six ways from Sunday, having a working domestic foundry, particularly one integrated directly with a chip designer, is insanely valuable.

Not too much can be done, since a ton of the country sat with their thumbs up their asses instead of voting. Republicans control all three branches of government now.

In two years, after permanent damage has been done to the government, the climate, and the economy, we may have another shot at at least slowing things down via Congress IF people actually vote for sane people.

And in four, potentially a new presidency and Congress. But that could be dicy, since there's going to be little stopping corrupt officials from screwing with democratic safeguards now that the government is teeming with freaks and degenerates under its skin.

Aside from lawsuits from Democrats, I think the federal government is going to be in complete freefall for the next two years, bare minimum. Thanks fascists and nonvoters. You really fucked the entire world this time. Fucking malicious idiots.

I hope Ukraine keeps its mineral rights, and we all fund their war. We should be thanking them for kicking Russia in the cunt, not taking away their resources while they fight a war for the EU and NA.

All this you feel? It reeks of the stuff leading up to WW1. Just waiting on the Zimmerman telegram now.

We're going to backslide to the prewar days where violence was the only way to amass power, before the days of the UN, USAID, NATO, and the rest.

And that isolationist shit is consistent with America pre WW1 and the interwar period before WW2.

Yeah, too expressive. Though I'm counting the smile at the beginning as canon, considering he was finally able to regain control over Freeman for the first time since he was foiled by the vorts at the beginning of EP1. I love that smile.

They never should have sold us Florida. That was a huge mistake.

I also said half life. Doom was a leap forward, but Half life actually set a technological and story telling bar, on a budget, in 1998. Many videogames drew inspiration from its innovations, storytelling or themes.

That sounds kinda cool, never seen a black windfarm before. Obligatory: https://youtu.be/O4irXQhgMqg

Golf is way too big, imo. No other sport even makes the list here.

This looks like it has nothing to do with sexual orientation at all. She got turned down because she lacked the skills for the job she wanted. Then was demoted because she couldn't do her current job with effective leadership skills.

At the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is that the person has the skills (or the capability to learn the skills). Sexual orientation has no bearing on leadership capability, lol.
