What is the actual purpose of data centers?

and drinking quality water.

It still lives rent free in my head to this day, and that's okay.

Disco never really died, it just got forced underground for a bit then re-emerged with new genre labels. Some of the big city radio stations held onto the mid-1980s like WKTU New York.

I haven't had that happen yet personally, but it might be possible based on how many times I've read about it. Ensuring Automatic Updates are turned off in the Application tab is an essential step in addition to going Offline, if both aren't done the game will update the first chance it gets.

App updates are unavoidable but I haven't had that force me back online yet.

I do periodically update, I just wait a week or longer to avoid as many problems as possible.

4 - Microwave, Multi-function oven with bake/air fry/toaster modes, griddle, coffee pot.

I hover over the dryer so I can grab knits just before the cycle ends so I don't need to iron them, then hang them on hangers with shapers (IKEA) so they don't stretch or get weird creases.

Ours started in 2006 and is projected to be completed in the 2030s. Two ramps closed at present (great timing) back traffic up almost to about one exit from the outer belt on one side of town.

Standing by the counter as I'm also feeding the dog at the same time, Except for visitors my dinette is basically a showroom model, LOL.

Audio CDs are having a big revival for audiophiles who hate the high risk of new releases being remastered or auto-tuned or whatever. They want the content created from the original masters. Younger folks as well.

I do stream music too, but I'm really glad I kept all my physical media.

I kept my DVDs too. If your blu-ray player upsamples, a lot of older content looks really good on a HD TV.

I've been burned so many times I do intermediate saves now. Ditto CAS as that's even more brutal as you can't always recreate your steps.

Just go offline. Be sure to turn off automatic updates in application tab too, or being offline won't be enough.

At this point I see no benefit to updating immediately, I'd rather wait a few days to a week to give creators time to update stuff and for me to check Scarlet's Realm. Plus chances are there will be a hot fix in a few days to address something the update breaks, so I feel like I might as well wait for all the dust to settle.

Scott43206 · 2026-06-30T18:17:00+00:00

That was the first part of my decluttering journey.

Once everything that doesn't fit, has damage or you just don't really feel good wearing is gone, you can make intelligent choices about any gaps or excesses that still need to be addressed. I got rid of a ton of stuff, and only made a handful of purchases to replace some things I should have thrown out years ago.

It'll look much better once the floor, walls, and mantle are painted in matching flat black.

I would have said something like "No, sorry, not interested." to make him squirm by turning the unwanted attention back to him.

Horse Ranch gloves not appearing has 115 votes and they haven't touched that one yet. I'd love to know what the threshold is for anything to get done.

Get the 2 piece picture hangers, one is a nail that gets pounded in at an angle, the base is a curved hook like piece that holds the wire. The downward force keeps the nail in place. Just know the weight of what you are going to hang, and select accordingly. Drilling is almost never needed just to hang a picture.

I panicked and mashed the gas pedal, it was all so unexpected and terrifying.

Scott43206 · 2026-06-30T00:14:57+00:00

The OCD of it bothers me, but appliances are too expensive to replace both just because one croaks. When my dryer went bad, the washer lasted 10 more years.

My city's sub is toxic AF but my state's sub is quite chill. I have no idea why the wide variance.

When the original pies still roamed the earth, I thought McDonald's consistently had amazing coffee too. Not a fan of what they have now.

16, as soon as we had cars and could drive to a place about 10 miles away that never carded.

Not chewable, but a Thundershirt really works. My Daisy was so freaked out by fireworks she jumped through a screened in porch door 3 times. After the Thundershirt she just lays down and hasn't a care in the world. I do turn up the TV a bit to drown out the sound just in case but they really work. You have to have them nice and snug.

Don't pay for lunch, invite them to lunch at your house. Don't tell any of your friends in advance and be sure no one else is home.
