I thought after a death, those that remain move on to New Order.

Came out nice. Have you tried printing in PETG? It would be more durable than PLA, and you wouldn't have to do reprints as often.

I bought a couple usgs maps of the local mountains about 8 years ago, but that was the last time. Used to buy the map book for Michigan every few years when I lived there. Had pretty detailed prints of all the roads, waterways, state lands, and even marked hiking trails. Great for finding streams for fishing and places to camp. But now printed maps seem hard to find. Local gas stations don't have them, and I've noticed that rest stops on the highway don't give them out anymore either. Used to hit rest stops in every state I drove through when traveling to get new ones for the glove box.

Used to have fun playing the RPG with friends back in the late 80s and early 90s. Always liked the background to the game, the blending of tech, magic, and fantasy realms. Looks like all 3 of those PC games are on Steam, have to put them on the wish list.

It has been popular. People were traveling out of country for joint replacements. Costs were less for travel, surgery, and recovery than what they would pay for it here. Covid put a damper on travel for a couple years, so not sure if it's still as popular. I would consider it if/when I need knee replacements done. Considering what I've heard about the quality issues of joint replacements in the US, I don't want one here.

There really should be better options, but it's where this country is currently at, where some home chemistry is something people would have to consider. You're right, it's dangerous and certainly has a lot of risks. With some background in it myself and access to resources that the general public doesn't have, I would still be hesitant to try something I'd cooked up in the basement at home. But, I'm also not at the point where I'm going to die from a treatable but unaffordable disease.

I'm a quality chemist. I test the API's that process chemists make to be sure they're right. Yeah, reactions don't always proceed as intended. These guys do understand the risks, and are only trying to provide an option. Here in the US the insurance companies are perfectly willing to let us die because funding expensive treatment hurts their bottom line. Unless you're independently wealthy, a small scale reactor at home may become the only option a person has available. Definitely risky, but why not take the chance when corporate America has determined you're not valuable enough to save?

I bought two copies of this game at the end of 2019 for a friend and I to try out. At $5, why not? We have played the shit out of this game since then, especially when we both got stuck home during covid for a few weeks. Glad it's finally reached 1.0, enjoying seeing all of the updated POI's and some new critters. So what if it took this long to come out of alpha? Have had way more than five bucks worth of fun over the past few years.

Taste isn't great. Definitely burns some and you can feel your tongue, lips,and gums shrivel as the alcohol sucks the moisture out of them.

I've sipped anhydrous 200 proof ethanol before. Not something I recommend trying.

I like the Genesis World Tour '78 shirt.

Commodore basic on the PET computer, back around 1981-1983. My grade school had three of them in the library, and since my mom was a teacher, she would sign one out for summer break and bring it home if any were available.

Last album put out by the Unfit a couple years ago. Worth checking out.

 

I was looking at the settings for Connect, hit "Save Settings" before closing, and now some of my phone's default colors have changed. I have lime green and mint for random text in different applications. Using a Google Pixel 7 Pro. Anyone else notice this?
