Cooking

the availability of the internet and a young(er) brain has made learning to cook easier for me. Also I feel like diverse ingredients are easier to come by. They were cooking out of Betty Crocker and their parent’s index card collection.

Single ultrawide for everything. The ergonomics are superior.

I successfully made a checklist of work tasks, and checked several of them off

Oh dear, I didn’t know there was tomato for vacuums… depending on how it goes, this knowledge will make you either my new friend or my latest enemy…

I wonder what percentage of players opt for the “story only” difficulties? Has anyone done this sort of study? One dev found that 70% opt for easy mode. They point out that most people don’t finish most games, and easy modes help increase that number.

They definitely are!

I had a thought about finding similarly themed jokes about men, but haven’t had any luck yet. It’s true that a good number of blond jokes could be gender agnostic so long as they are just about intelligence.

they haven’t aged well

This sort of humor in general hasn’t aged well. I think this sort of thing is still funny when it’s a surprise, ie used sparingly.

I think so; except leaning more heavily on promiscuity?

This is probably not your speed, but I can’t stop myself from mentioning Deathloop…

Also, and this is a bit of a stretch, but Day of The Tentacle was a great game with a time element… I’m reminded by this because I asked ChatGPT for a list of games that met this criteria.

I’m actually a little surprised that my hot take got so much hate… I inferred was there are multiple reasons that people don’t bath. I posed this as an or… as an alternative. I didn’t suggest depression isn’t a reason.

I am friends with a lot of hippy-archetypical folks… and many of them don’t do the bathing/deodorant thing with the frequency that’s commonly expected by the majority. Just saying they choose to be au natural… and maybe that’s ok.

Add Mercedes to that list of companies close to doing this

I hear ya - I’m recommending 1440p ultrawide, so the scaling will be the same as the other displays you are seeking.

I was like you and didn’t like curved TVs… but I have ultra wide curved displays at home/work, and this use case is awesome! Every part of the screen is about the same distance from my eyes. A typical 34” (3440x1440) is about the same pixel count as 2.5 1080p displays, but with no bezels to split the screen… so it’s perfectly centered. With separate displays I need to center one and set one way off to the side, or center the bezel split and need to always turn my head one way or the other. Webcam is centered. Cable management is easier (one power, one signal). Brackets are less bulky. Desk is cleaner looking.

You’ll get a little less area than 2x 27” 1440p displays.

I don’t know how important HDR is to you. I’ve always had good luck with Dell ultrasharp longevity. They have a 34” for $350.

Schitt’s Creek!!

PS4 God of War

I’ve been Xbox, Nintendo, PC my whole life, and eventually borrowed a PlayStation during the pandemic to play through some exclusives. I barely got through the tutorial before putting it down for two years. Got a ps5 eventually and gave it another try… and loved it.

My ego is fine! Enjoy.

I said theoretically because I recall it not being proven, and it’s been a while since I read anything on the topic.

It’s mildly amusing that my statement suggested to you anything remotely close to “studied fact”. Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? Enough water? There’s empirical evidence out there that those can help with constipation. Now that’s a studied fact! Be well! 😇
