Man, I drive an older German car, and they take their warning lights seriously. Like if you’re driving to the hospital and the gas light comes on, you’re stopping for gas.

Im more impressed that you have spaces and a slash in your username…

We should take up a collective for archive.org’s legal battle. Id LOVE it if they end up winning this one.

Its only a week old, but I would strongly recommend Baldur’s Gate 3. I would warn you, it might spoil a lot of future games for you, by setting the bar so high.

And if you want an equally emersive but MUCH older game,look up ADOM.

“Read reciepts ruin friendships.”

I dont remember where I read that quote, but I agree with it.

No. Which I think is where a lot of people are confused. It doesnt give the daughter any power or ability to do her job for her. Only to handle legal issues on her behalf.

Think, basically, things that she could otherwise hire a lawyer to do for her. She cannot outsource her senatorship.

It is VERY similar to the Divinity games. It uses somewhat modified DnD 5e rules, as opposed to Divinitys’ own system (though that system took a lot of inspiration from DnD.) The RPG and world building elements will feel very familiar.

Connect isnt FOSS. The dev has said it will be at some point.

I got one of these when I was in my 20s and Id still recommend it. A little grooming goes a long way.

It seems most people don’t understand what power of attorney means. It gives her daughter the ability to make decisions* on her behalf, yes, but doesn’t grant any sort of conservatorship over her.

It’s an intelligent move, especially when a person gets older, to grant PoA to someone you trust. It means if, for example, you’re in the hospital, that person can still do things like pay your bills from your accounts.

EDIT: *legal, personal decisions - not senate votes. It doesn’t give the daughter any right or ability to do her job.

If that cat doesn’t poop for three days, this post will officially win lemmy.

During my fraternity days, I would often say, “the world is my bottle opener” just before using some random object to open a beer.

All that really matters is if its sturdy and small enough to catch over your knuckle and under the rim. Literally any object like that will work.

I periodically say random product names or search for things id have no use for just to see how far and wide it goes…it’s bad.

Ohio is a lot like Kanye: everyone keeps talking about it, even though most of it’s relevance is completely made up

Well that’s because unlike kayaks, there are many places in Ohio to use a gun.

What heathen makes a flat cable with connectors facing opposite ways?

It’s a reference to the Voyager space program,which followed the Apollo space program. Apollo was the name of the reddit app for iOS that was very popular, and had many of the same features

Fully in favor of links requiring context / summary / transcript, something substantial.

Along the same vein, I bought a flexible desk lamp with a built in magnifying glass for this type of stuff - use it almost daily.

The “epicurian” brand is perfect for this, or their knockoffs. Its like 1/4" thick (6mm) composite wood. I have one that even fits in my laptop bag - way better than any designated “lap board” I’ve ever found.
