I appreciate it fellow friendly internet stranger! Luckily I’m on the other side of a lake for this, so not too much worry. Air quality is rough, but I’ve honestly gotten used to it growing up in Cali. Not the first (or likely last) time I’ve had to deal with raining ash. Closest we get to snow in our area haha

The Airport Fire is very close to me, and just crested the mountain range to be visible on our side. It’s not a CALFire Incident but thankfully they still update reports and evac zones. Fire.ca.gov is the absolute GOAT.

As someone who’s played Destiny since Beta; mood

I have space in my PC case, but it’s below my desk so it would be true banishment haha. Thanks for letting me know the manufacturer, may get myself a gremlin as well!

I thought it was just a photoshop, but something about the hand snapped my brain back to reality. That’s a hecka good quality Q! Kinda want one for myself haha

Most of the buses where I am have a bike rack attached to the exterior, I’ve definitely taken that for granted.

We had a 2 drinks limit at company after hours gigs. Not that bad, but it was apparently because someone drank a bunch and then walked onto a highway. There was also the time the FBI came into the building to ask about a sales guy who took part in 1/6.

There’s a really well done VR mod for this game. It’s actually the only way I’ve played it so far. If you can run Steam VR I highly recommend it! I had to do a reinstall of some stuff so haven’t finished the game yet, but it’s been high on my ‘to-do list’.

Tangential but also relevant; I worked in a larger construction company until a year ago and it was multi state. Imagine my surprise when word spread that the FBI was looking for an employee in another department regarding 1/6. Before Jan 6 he had been filmed jumping up on a table at the local Costco with a megaphone and spewing filth.

There are always signs.

I’m always for shitting on TERFs, but I have no idea what this meme is about. Probably because I try my best to keep ‘anti-woke’ things out of my orb. Can someone please get me in on this joke that I desperately want to be a part of haha

Got 9 in one day. If they include a name it’s never mine

bbno$, Doja Cat, and Helen Mirren. All in my DMs

I thought the same when I was using 2% milk. Whole milk rocked my world. It still makes it soggy, but I just see it as a challenge.

Even Jason figured out we’re in the bad place

I hate that I know what this is. It’s like a poor man’s version of loss. I love it.

It’s a long video posted by YouTube creator HBomberguy regarding plagiarism on YouTube. If you watch/listen to video essays on YouTube it’s worth a play.

TL;DW- it’s a longstanding issue of ripping practically verbatim sections of other people’s work without proper sourcing. There were a few larger named channels put forth as evidence. I know at least one of the plagarist has since turned off comments on his videos.
