As someone who learned on AD&D 2nd Edition, I gotta say, I find the 5th Edition rule sets (very annoying that there’s two versions. again) painfully slow and tedious to play. The rule set and focus has shifted from large-scale battles with dozens of participants and 3-4 armies to smaller encounters of only two teams and 4-6 participants on each team. Just one large-scale encounter on the 5e rule set would probably take multiple sessions.

The culture and the way people play has also changed dramatically. Pencil, paper, and dice used to be all you need, but is seen as “inadequate” now. Terrain, D&D Beyond, and miniatures are the new standard. Everyone uses a tablet or laptop and browses Reddit between turns. Every turn is treated as an opportunity in the spotlight to have their big moment of the session.

I hate to sound like a boomer, but this new stuff ain’t it.

Rust (the video game, not the programming language)

Can’t stand to play anymore, but I still keep up with the major patches and still watch some RustTubers.

Shitposting is the internet equivalent of writing something on the bathroom stall while taking a shit.

Funny, considering swingers have adopted the pineapple as their symbol.

It’s finally gotten to a point where wealth and power are concentrated into a sufficiently small enough group of people they can:

1. Collectively agree to all do the same thing
2. All benefit from their cooperative action
3. Afford to bribe as many officials as it takes to have complete control of any political system of their choosing
4. Wield enough of the world’s resources that everyone else has no choice but to follow suit

Billionaires.

It’s been a while. I’d say days, but not weeks. YMMV.

Even edibles and topical treatments?

We kept ours either off with the door open or on with the door shut for a while. The smell was terrible and it made my throat burn. I also had my doubts. But it eventually lessened and went away completely. Fans and open windows help, if the weather permits it.

Mine took a week or two. Cook food in it a few times, that seemed to help.

Is Proton a Debian-based distro?

Why use Wine? All it does is emulate Windows.

WSL invalidates Linux’s existence.

Linus is the Colonel of Linux.

Educate the younger generations about how they’re getting screwed and how people solved these problems in the past.

Eh, ish. It used to be only four:

It’s your lucky day, OP. We take those.

You’re correct. An expert might have used some fancy words like “recursion” or “computational complexity”, but would have expressed essentially the same idea.

OP, to solve your problem, use a program like TreeSize.

“Pay attention to me or you’re banned” is… a take.

You’re correct; the terms are not interchangeable.

Avgas and jet fuel aren’t the same thing. Avgas is leaded gasoline used in airplane engines. Jet fuel is specially formulated for use in turbines.

If $40 is too much for you, Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts, and O’Reillys all have free code readers you can use. If your car can make it there.

Yeah, I think he had to go to the hospital and have those shots done. If you don’t know, you need like six shots in the abdomen with a foot-long needle. Might have been some legal trouble too, bats are protected in a lot of jurisdictions.
