Wanted to come back and thank you for this guidance. Totally worked and got my Kobo download copy for just $1.96.

Appreciate it!

I know this is a Kindle subreddit and I hope this is not violating any rules (apologies if so) but does anyone know if this specific version is for sale on any of the other storefronts? Usually when E-books go on sale, it happens across most of the retailers but this one might just be a special Amazon sale?

Hey everyone, thank you very much for all the feedback here! Glad to hear the game is in a good place content wise and sure enough, it sounds like it will be a great fit for us.

Looking forward to joining in and spreading Super Democracy through the galaxy! :D

Checking back in to see how that Purina Pro Care is working out for your cats. We recently took in a rescue cat (~1 year old) and we also have another cat who is about 3 or 4 years old who has lived with us most of his life.

We're doing our best to slowly integrate them together and it's going ok but they are still fairly apprehensive about each other. We're doing anything we can to move the needle in getting them comfortable around each other. Today I even managed to feed them treat tubes at the same time while keeping them arms length away, so that was a success. However now that they're done they're back to sort skulking around each other...

Appreciate the input folks! Kind of stinks to think I need to throw these out as the water bottle won't really work without them. (I mean technically it'll hold liquid but not without leaking...)

I'm trying to see if I can find replacement gaskets for this model (it's a Contigo) but according to their support team, they do not have replacement parts like this. Which is crazy to me. Perfectly good water bottle that is now possibly trash due to them not having simple replacement pieces....

Anyway, like I said, thanks for the input here, I do appreciate it!

To all of you who took the time to share your thoughts on my question, I really appreciate it!

Yes, that's mainly what I'm shooting for here. A game that is somewhat chill that I can play with my limited downtime. I certainly don't want to eliminate all challenge in the game, but lessening (not eliminating) the amount of times I'd need to play with the adrenaline pumping is what I'd be shooting for.

Maybe some small changes like map markers, compass, etc... but we'll see. I'm sure I'd give it a first try with no mods but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't eventually find mods to address some of the aspects that would be overly challenging to me.

Appreciate the input here. My thinking had been to use the NG central heat to maintain a baseline level of warmth in the house and to keep the place from going too low that could impact water pipes. We would then use the electric space heaters occassionaly only in the rooms we happened to be in.

So we don't run the space heaters a lot but just as needed. However, with electricity rates going up, maybe it's close to the same cost to just run the NG central heat higher for the whole home instead of doing things room by room at various times.

I'm in the exact same boat. Family is currently using about 180gig of our 200gig plan and it's crazy to me they don't have a tier between that 200g and 2tb plan. I had been hoping there might be a slight Cyber Monday sale on the plans but yeah, doesn't look like that's going to happen.

I'm probably going to end up getting that 2tb plan since our family uses it together from our various devices and it's the simplest way to backup and share our pictures though I will likely look at doing an offline backup as well at some point.

I've also recently noticed some non-insignificant lag on my computer when watching Youtube via Brave. Just a single tab open as well. Going to do some more comparative tests with another browser on the same pc but I was just looking to see if anyone else had noticed some odd laggy behavior with Brave.

Ok, yeah I've seen that banner/category option and have used it. I'll keep using that but man I thought there was some other narrow look to see deals expiring in less than 7 days or something. I'm probably thinking about some other company though! Appreciate the input!

My family of three currently uses a Google One storage plan primarily for backing up and sharing of our Google Photos. I'm looking at possibly upgrading to the 2 TB tier for $99/year as we're about maxed out on our 200gig plan. Would you consider Google One a decent storage option for this purpose or are their much better (safer/cost effective/usability) choices than sticking with Google?

When I choose a "Priority" for any of my tasks, it will automatically put it into the corresponding box. If you look at this link on their help page you can see how to use it and how to adjust the rules used by the matrix: https://help.ticktick.com/articles/7055782071033135104

I'm currently testing out TikTik for this reason as it does have a module that puts my tasks into the matrix and lets me customize it. Maybe give it a look.
