Apples USB-C DAC dongle is available locally, cheap including shipping and basically best at price point (cheap) unless you want to roll the dice with Alibaba or similar. I have 3 because dongles tend to disappear, with them being tiny and all. I had others from international sellers but they all disappointed except for audio volume.

I daydream of Zomboid every week :) I just want to get out there and SURVIVE, man!

These are a bit more make your own story: Rimworld with Multiplayer mod (feels like its vanilla multiplayer tbh) and Project Zomboid :)

The types of missiles, counter missiles and their costs are explained pretty well for someone who knows almos tnothing about them. Even Ukraine's 4.5% counter-rate against ballistic missiles seems crazy, some of those can fly at 16,100kmph! (10,000mph!)

Change it to only have effect in a radius, on non-player entities. BOOM #ImADeveloperNow

Maybe combine the loot fest with some hades difficult combat? I have similar feelings as yours, the genre is really cool but in the end, it's all just this hidden grindfest? At least with (real) brutal combat, you still need to "make it happen", big numbers is just the req.

I don't understand the outrage either. All the folks screaming at this clearly think inclusivity is bad. It's weird to be on Xitter rn, you feel like you want the reach it gives, but do you really want reach when all you can reach is these hatespewers?

For Kindle specific ripping, I think it changed a year back and now you need to have a kindle connected before the Amazon servers poop out some magic unlock key/the whole book. After that you're golden, but during the rip you need a kindle device..

They explain the Kindle difference when using Calibre DeDRM tool in this article.

I get angry when folks cut in line, or otherwise broadcast that they think that everyone around them is basically a piece of human garbage whose time is worth way less then theirs. Well, you don't know me or my life, rude stranger.

They might think that everyone is worthless, but it's common courtesy to give random strangers the benefit of the doubt until they prove to you that they do not deserve that courtesy. It seems like such a low bar to me for living comfortably in a society, so if my fellow humans can't even muster that, that hits me in the feels :-). Oh well, sucks to be them!

We had the small stove as a loan, which was a lot fasters then firing up the grill in the morning :-).

Good morning! Appreciate the dedication and support you're offering here. It’s great to join together for a common goal, whether it’s day one or year ten. Keep up the good work and good intentions. <3

This seems like such a fair way to add some discomfort to filibustering and making it a bit less appealing.

With shorts specifically, on my old now non existant account, which had a scary good profile of me, I got washed with right wing bullshit and transphobia when it shoehorned shorts in my life. It knew very very well who I was and that I would not enjoy any of that. I notified YT through don't show me this again buttons, and when it wouldn't stop I informed them they had 7 days to get this out of my recommendations or I would close my activity at their website. They did not react, they did not make shorts an option, they did not get the right wing garbage out of the 3 shorts they managed to throw in my face somehow every day when using YouTube. This account was over 10yo. Seeing how good their normal recommendations were, I can only conclude it was broken or bought for shorts, and thus you should be extremely reticent/reluctant blaming it on the users when they get wierd stuff.

My goal is to inform you that your N=1 is unrepresentative, I came in to say: "shorts algorithm suggestions were completely out of wack to my YouTube account(too!)" so now we have at least n=3, and if we can trust each other to say the truth, your 'its a you problem' is false. That's important, because you accused someone of having certain interests, based on their experiences with that algorithm. I think that's pulling the gun and putting too much 'trust' in a commercial YT algorithm, that worked for some (you I guess) but not for all.

I found it became a lot easier after my dad took almost three days to 'die' after he could no longer really live with his lung, throat and shoulder cancer. I get that dieing sucks ass, but if the alternative is dieing really really slowly, assisted death is really beautiful. Too bad our doctor had moral objections, which is fair for them, but it wasn't to us. We did not have this nitrogen capsule, we just had to wait it out and let our loved one gurgle themselves to death.

I thought it was one of the most intense city builders I ever played. I love the genre, and I love this style. Pretty difficult as well.

So what you're saying is you trust YouTube to do it right? With shorts? I got bombarded with bullshit in shorts, the 50 times they got it in front of my eyes somehow, I never watched any of that in my normal yt rounds. That algorithm is made to brainwash, not to serve you what you want.

It's great, I drive a low compact and because all the boomers around me drive a small tractor/SUV, whenever dusk starts I can look at all the pretty hard white suns behind me instead of traffic. If a big cargo truck can have good unobtrusive lighting, your fucking boomer mobile should also be able to have it, so it's basically a choice made in the factory: yeah this will fucking blind everyone on the road, but think of how COOL it will look guys!!

Promising gains with that ubershader!
