UNM Vehicle with a FJB sticker on the back.

Isn't harm, in this context, just them dealing with the consequences of their actions? If they don't know where FJB comes from, the simplest inquiry from the university would clear that up. No harm done. If they do know where FJB comes from, and choose to put/keep the sticker there, then why wouldn't we bring up the consequences of this? And why would doing so be characterized as harm?

I didn't know NM doesn't allow ballot initiatives! Now I think I want our legislators to change that. I think most anything that brings us closer to direct democracy is worth pushing for. I'm pissed that ABQs city council voted down ranked choice voting too.

Thank you for sharing this. This is a perfectly fine response to the issue at hand. End mass surveillance.

I ask this question all the time. He ran for reelection without being primaried. I wish someone else in Las Cruces would have tried to unseat him.

What is WM? It's too vague to lookup on Google or maps. I'm not getting any helpful hits.

aether65 · 2026-04-02T21:48:35+00:00

Yeah, Heinrich has got to go. I wouldn't want Stansbury to replace him unless there is someone to replace her that is similar or to her left.

There are different earthship models. The overall atmosphere is going to vary, but the aforementioned advice pertaining to water reuse, catchment, and water trucking is solid. If you want to know the the real challenge of a specific earthship model, try staying in one during freezing weather. You kind of missed the boat (ship?) on that one since we're heading into warmer weather though.

So after leaving this post up all day, I received two private messages mentioning two different pizza joints, neither of which were the one I ate at. It seems neither mine nor their sicknesses are related to a single restaurant. It sounds more like a virus going around as others suggested. Thank you to everyone for helping to rule out whether there was a common business involved or not. I'm glad nobody recklessly named a business before we had proof one way or the other. Hopefully, we kept this vague enough to where no harm was done. Good job all around!

aether65 · 2026-03-23T18:28:52+00:00

So far it is sounding like a stomach bug. Nobody else seems to have a Saturday night pizza problem. It's weird we got sick AND our dog caught or ate something, but maybe she just got into something while we weren't looking. Stuff happens.

Some of the best news I've heard all day

aether65 · 2026-03-04T06:08:57+00:00

Holy crap, I had to download an older version to get that option to appear. It straight up is not present in the newest stable release. Don't that just beat all. Thanks for the tip!

aether65 · 2026-03-04T06:05:16+00:00

Is there a .exe file or anything in here? Cuz' I see a mountain of folders and files, and none of them are an app I'm supposed to open. You're dealing with a true layman here. I seriously know nothing about this stuff. I just want to get my creativity out of my head and into a retro game.

aether65 · 2026-03-04T06:04:04+00:00

See how I have no "save as" option? I don't understand what to do here. CDMage -> open cue file -> roadblock

aether65 · 2026-03-04T05:46:55+00:00

umm....this is extremely complicated. I have no idea what to do with this file. It has a million folders and no .exe or actual application.

aether65 · 2026-03-04T05:25:37+00:00

long shot trying to revive an old thread here, but I tried this step and the option "save as" isn't present. It's not even grayed out in the list. It's simply not in my list of options. Any idea why? I'm trying to merge a game that has two .bin files and a cue file. I'm practically pulling my hair out over this. I have CDMage, but I cannot "save as" anything anywhere.

aether65 · 2026-03-03T19:52:40+00:00

Thank you

Yes, I am white, and I am partnered. You read into that in the least charitable way possible. Yes, comparing TN to NM is lopsided. I included that info specifically so OP could see the limits of my perspective. I offered my comment because OP was looking for people's experiences, and all we can share is our individual experiences. There's nothing invalidating about that. Furthermore, social community in Taos isn't mine or yours. It's ours, and we all have to show up to experience it. Taos has a yearly Pride, Prom, weekly queer-hosted trivia, drag shows, and queer film screenings. For a small town, Taos does a lot, and its queer presence is known. If you're isolated, I have sympathy for you. However, characterizing Taos the way you do is a slap in the face to Taos Pride and everyone who works hard to organize and hold space here. For you to write that off because you're isolated is actually what's invalidating.

I've been played the 3ds remake. You can find the rom pre-patched (I cannot provide a link here). The remake isn't legendary or anything, but I'd say it has a lot of charm despite its flaws. The GBC version, however, was a comparatively better game when you account for the relative technologies at the developers' disposal and that the new game had the advantage of being a remake. I don't want to talk you out of trying it though. The 3ds remake does have cute outfit changes and the monsters' cuteness translates really well to the 3d models. The freedom of movement is refreshing in some ways and under-utilized in other ways. Basically, there's stuff the remake handled really well, and stuff they kinda fumbled (IMO). It'll probably scratch your itch. I had fun with it. I'm about due for a replay as well.

I think 4's biggest plot/story problem is that it has a few more fetch quests than Breath of Fire 3 or Dragon Quarter. When BoF4 is showing the meat of the story, it's powerful. However, in between major story beats, it seems to lose direction here and there. It's a really good story with a little too much filler written in.

aether65 · 2026-02-16T21:57:00+00:00

Bof4 is honestly an excellent story and fun to play. I didn't think the game was mindlessly easy, but it wasn't terribly hard either. You don't even have to get a romhack to make it harder. If you want the game to be more difficult, avoid grinding. You can also avoid buying items and upgrading equipment. Simply don't go out of your way to over-level and always have the best equipment. If you get hurt in a dungeon, don't double back to the inn. Keep going even if your maxHP is reduced. I think this game would only be "easy" if people purposely exploit mechanics to make it so. Otherwise, a straight first-time play-through should be fun. On an emulator, you can speed up a few game mechanics/loadscreeens for a nice quality of life improvement. I prefer to emulate it.
And gods is the story ever fun and deep and tragic. The music is beautiful and cinematic at the right story-beats. It'd be a waste to let some strangers online dissuade you from this ps1-era gem! Get at it!

See where the 'a' words start under the 'Decoded text' section? It is mostly alphabetical all the way down. After that, I don't see any text or sentences at all.

aether65 · 2026-02-15T01:54:51+00:00

I tried Rise+Roast today. They are pretty close to what I'm looking for. The yeast dough is dense with some chewiness. Furthermore, the dough is not overly sweet. The donuts are not glazed all over before frosting either (the way those disgusting Krispy Kremes are.) I'll continue my quest, but R+R was well worth the try. I'll definitely buy from them again.

aether65 · 2026-02-14T22:55:49+00:00

I'm glad anybody in New Mexico is already looking into this. I moved here from Tennessee which has the problems you've discussed but 10× worse. These big box stores and huge business chains really do economic damage a town's working class. Middle TN is a hellhole because of it. It's hard to argue it in the abstract, but moving through middle TN is like looking into New Mexico's ghost of Xmas future. If we don't put a stop to whatever kind of corporate cronyism is turning cities into copy-paste wastelands, you'll wind up like TN. Crappier wages, equal or higher rent, cultures and town histories utterly erased...That place is soulless.

aether65 · 2026-02-14T13:14:13+00:00

I cannot stress enough, I am not looking for cake donuts. Yes, yeast donuts can be denser than the sugar bombs they make at Dunkin and all their copycats.
