My first copy of Win95 was on floppy, 13 if memory serves me.
My first computer only had two 5 1/2” floppy drives. Everything required a swap.
There are no up or down vote police. You use them as you like.
I live in rural NM. When I moved here we had Verizon home internet (cellular, with a data cap), centurylink (you are lucky if you get 3mpbs), and a line of sight wireless provider. The wireless was more expensive than CL, but more reliable and faster.
Then TDS fiber came to town, much better price, way better speeds, non existent customer service.
It is so bad I am considering going back to the wireless provider.
I set up some extra bases to collect certain resources. Then moved my main base from the starting area. Both things helped speed up resources.
I chose to host a Friendsgiving at my business this year (I own a local game shop) because I am having nothing to do with my father any longer. A number of customers turned friends are in similar situations. I am a vegetarian, and I warned everyone before hand, I am not bringing a turkey.
Fake an illness this morning. Or flat out say, “I am not coming”.
From reading the article it looks like she has no qualifications other than being republican. But from his other picks it is par for the course.
It depends, how rich? Millions? Billions?
I would fix the gym/auditorium at my old high school (the drama club has to share it with all of the sports teams and PE, and all of drama’s stuff gets broken or stolen) so that drama has their own space.
My father voted trump in 2016, and again in 2020. I have had a “dialogue” going with him about it since 2016. In 2020 my mother moved out. He said that was the worst day of his life. I furthered the dialogue and he put his foot down, not wanting any more political discussions. The day after Election Day he was celebrating the win while listening to the Woodie Guthrie protest music I got him for his birthday. I tried to explain the irony to him, and that was the last time I have spoken to him.
It is not only disease experts that worry.

2FA is two factor authentication, it requires your password plus a generated code from an authentication app that changes every 60 seconds.
Did you get screen shots?
None, I am intentionally not seeing my family for Thanksgiving.
It is possible to create jobs without furthering the military industrial complex.
If you cannot pay the fine, do not do the crime.
that mean that the wild west is also part of mexican culture?
Very much so. Outlaws were always going to Old Mexico (as opposed to New Mexico) to get away from the law.
I grew up in New Mexico and eating New Mexican food, which is a fusion of Navajo and other indigenous cultures and northern Mexican food. It uses almost exclusively our local grown chile, the Big Jim, or as it is mostly known, the Hatch Chile.
In NM we have a lot of New Mexican restaurants. I left the state in the 90s and lived and traveled across the East coast. There are a lot of Mexican places, but the food is very different than it if in my home state, mostly in the chile used.
My favorite place in Albuquerque is El Patio.
No option to use the money for something useful instead? Housing? Food? Student load payments? Small business grants?

Played Monster Hunter today
A small group came into my game shop today and picked up a copy of Monster Hunter. It was a slow Saturday and no one showed up to play Magic so I joined them in a game.
It took a while to get all of the rules figured out. If you have ever played the video games it really felt like we were playing an analog version.
You get a character sheet and gain crafting materials as you track the monster. We found the Great Jagras very quickly and the started taking it down right away.
After you complete your hunt you get more crafting materials and head to HQ to begin upgrading your gear.
3 of the 4 of us have played the video games, I have played the least. The person who has never played enjoyed it as much as the rest of us. I have been asked to order the expansion and other core box for them.
Void on a Yule Tree
Our Yule tree arrived today, we were going to wait to put it up but my son’s cat started to rip the box. So I assembled it and my void, Guenhwyvar approved. He loves the tree topper.

Is there a way to send feedback about a course?
My wife and i both started studying Swedish and find the audio impossible to understand. To me it sounds like the words are playing over one another. The only way i can understand what is being said it's to play the audio on slow.
I have been doing the Finnish course (and almost have completed it) and do not have this issue in it. Yes, there are times on occasion when i need to play it slow, but for the most part i can understand.

Newbie looking for an amp
I recently picked up an electric guitar, and am using a Fender Mustang I amp a friend loaned my son. It is not a bad amp, per se. But it has built in effects that cannot be turned off, it is nice having the effects because I do not have any pedals yet. But I would like to be able to play clean sometimes.
I am looking for something about the same size. Maybe a bit bigger. It is a 1-8” 20 watt amp. Maybe something around the 50 watt area. If it has built in effects I am only interested if they can be turned off.
Bonus if anyone knows if it is possible to turn off the effects on this one.
Are we supposed to include a guitar tax here?
Notifications are behind on ps5, anyone else?
Whenever I get an item I get the notification from the previous item I received instead. Such as while fishing, I get a notice that I got my heaviest X fish but Y fish was added to my inventory. Then the next catch Z fish is the biggest, but X fish is added to my inventory.
The Mac update is not yet out so I cannot compare.
