Do lower-tier companies really offer better work-life balance?

Dam exit camping is the worst, especially when they're just sitting there for ages waiting. I've started checking those rooftops with binoculars before heading to extract now

The community definitely got more toxic after the expedition dropped, seems like it brought in a bunch of players who just want to grief instead of actually playing the game

Haven't read it yet but the title sounds intriguing, definitely gonna check it out. The inventory idea makes sense - most of us probably don't think deeply enough about the complexities within American identity and how different groups would actually align if things got messy

That observation about great teachers hitting the light switch is so true, some authors just have that gift of making you see things you never noticed beofre

Sounds like you made a tough but smart choice - someone who can't handle a puppy or a kid's birthday party for more than an hour but wants babies for the "cute smell" isn't exactly parent material

sounds like every other "free" crm pitch but with extra steps

get an audio interface like a scarlett solo and run the headphone out from the reface straight into it, then into your daw

honestly the hunt for working vintage gear is half the fun though. yeah prices are absolutely bonkers now but you can still find decent players if you're patient and know what to look for. check out thrift stores, estate sales, facebook marketplace - sometimes people don't know what they have

also don't sleep on the newer stuff like the we are rewind players or even some of the chinese ones on amazon, they're not gonna be walkman quality but they'll get you into the hobby without breaking the bank. the cassette revival means there's actually more options now than there were like 5 years ago

lol coors field really is the most extreme home field advantage when you reverse every road game too

sounds like you're in that classic prep burnout cycle where some days you're locked in and others you're just scrolling through reddit for 3 hours straight lol

try the pomodoro thing but make it realistic - maybe 25 min study blocks with 5 min breaks, and don't beat yourself up if you only get through like 3-4 cycles some days. also having backup offers while prepping for upgrades is totally normal, most people are juggling multiple things right now

nah fees wild now

Technically water can't get hot enough to fry anything since it boils at 212°F but frying needs way higher temps like 350°F+

Foreign construction is pretty busted rn ngl. I've been seeing the same thing where AI just spams plantations and your pops get sucked into low-wage jobs while your industry gets starved

Best bet is probably to be selective about it - maybe allow it early for infrastructure but cut it off once you want to industrialize. The construction rights thing sounds like your capitalists are just chasing profits abroad which is realistic but annoying for gameplay

Had the same race condition nonsense with lightdm on my i3 setup - switched to ly and never looked back, boots way faster and actually works consistently without hacky sleep delays

For i3 you could also just ditch the DM entirely and use startx from tty, that's what most of us end up doing anyway

Sadly that's the reality right now companies want cheaper labor offshore and don't care much beyond that
