I use the back buttons in Deep Rock Galactic to mirror the A B X Y functions. This allows me to jump for instance without taking my right thumb off of the stick. I have found this is super useful as I can be steering my POV while jumping. Took a minute to get used to but now I absolutely love it.
Rock and Stone, miners!
Do you have a smartphone though?
+1 for this. My allergies aren’t as bad as you have described but I moved to an area with wildfires (smoke!) and bought a couple of HEPA filters that also have activated charcoal and I absolutely can tell a big difference with them in allergy season.
Not sure why you were downvoted. In some instances I think this may absolutely be a factor and the generational perpetuation of such an environment is hard to overstate. My spouse and I refer to it as “One Hundred Years of Solitude” after the amazing novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. If you haven’t read it, it follows this family in Columbia through multiple generations showing how self-destructive behaviors can be passed through generations in a self-perpetuating way. That’s an aside to say that I agree that yes I suspect that for some folks this is a part of the story.
I am not sure if this works with Chrome on iOS but there is an app called Hush (yellow icon with face having tape over mouth) that works with Safari to get rid of popups. I’ve not had it very long but I tried it on this article and had no pop ups.
Exercise routinely, eat in a healthy way, take care of your teeth.
“Easy things tend to become hard, and hard things tend to become easy.”
This was said to me by my mentor when I was contemplating a very difficult career choice. I have found a lot of truth in it through various areas of my life. The most striking has been watching people I knew when I was much younger who always look for the easy way out of whatever life throws at them. Over time I’ve watched how this catches up to people and makes life much harder for them because they never plan, never save, never deny themselves in the moment.
Not to mention nothing familiar to provide scale. As I was watching I was like are we 100 km above the ground or 100 m?
Damn you really nailed it. This is something that has bothered me a lot but I’ve never found a good way to explain it. Your analogy is perfect.
I bought and love the Tomtoc carrying pack which has enough space for earbuds, charger, and cable but isn’t onerous in size. Highly recommend it.
Edit to add that the pack is soft so if not stuffed full it takes up less space than some of the marketing photos suggest. Also it’s nice because it has a stiff, padded baffle inside that is made to fit over the screen and controls to protect them from getting smushed despite the soft pack.
To be fair I’ve had a similar thought after finishing a couple of games. Both were indie games though and I thought they were underpriced relative to the value that I got out of them. I mostly felt that way because I really really want to encourage good behavior from studios rather than see it all go to microtransactions and subscriptions.
This may be unpopular but I was deeply disappointed in Shawshank Redemption when I read it. The movie is top tier.
Edit: In retrospect this doesn’t really answer your question as you asked about bad movies with a worse book and Shawshank is definitely not a bad film.
I’m not OP but would like to hear your thoughts.
When I was younger I read somewhere “If you give someone $20 and never see them again, it was probably worth it.” Accounting for inflation I think that perfectly fits your situation.
It’s ok. My son is a big fan but he has a sweet tooth and dragonfruit is nothing if not super sweet. To me it’s kind of bland otherwise.
Nailed it. I currently have an HP Laserjet 2100 for home printing and it is around 20 years old and going strong. Now you’ve made me think I should maybe order some toner ahead…
Don’t know who needs to hear this but I have seen variations of this story play out time and time again. Try and realize how much money it costs one of these companies over time when they pay out a disability claim and you will realize they are highly motivated to find a reason to get out of paying.
What I’m saying is that if you have a disability claim you should just assume that a private investigator is going to be checking up on you. Act accordingly.
This is one of the few films where I thought the teaser trailer was more compelling than the full trailer.
I’m glad they stated no subscription but just the mention of “games as a service” makes me nauseous.
