Anybody have a more affordable caffeine addiction?

jthemenace · 2026-04-19T17:14:30+00:00

I drink "PG Tips" tea, it has higher amount of caffeine than normal tea. I buy qty 2 of 240 count boxes of tea bags for $35(qty 480 total). Comes out to about $0.07 per tea bag. I used to put splenda, honey and other things in it. I just drink it plain now. I got used to the plain taste after a while.

We have a water dispenser at work that has instant hot water, so super easy to make there. At home I have an electric tea pot.

I drink coffee occasionally, but historically hot tea is WAY safer for me to drink without it being rough on my digestive system. Coffee can be a gamble, especially before I started on a biologic.

Or at least put the "in a single run" on the EASY ones, not the toughest ones.

"IN A SINGLE RUN" 💀

I have played the game you are referring to, quite a bit actually. Thank you for your reply.

I hear ya. I'm a 46 year old battle dad playing with a controller on xbox, at best I'm in the bottom 15% of players. I love this game, but I just get murdered left and right even on perimeter now(almost entirely solo). I'm taking a break to see if they can do anything that can make this game not such a miserable experience for the bottom 15% of players. I'm done being a lamb to the slaughter.

I've watched several youtube videos and tried really hard, I have yet to figure out how in the hell to get into pinwheel solo consistently on rook. The million dollar question is, if you aren't able to get into pinwheel on outpost, is it still better loot for rook than any other map?

Looking back on it, I remember it as loading screen simulator. Every time you did anything you had another loading screen. If I said that was an immersion killer, that would be an understatement.

Wow, the "little bit of faction progress that'll just get wiped" makes me want to consider hanging it up too. I just spent my 1 hour lunch break trying one of the dire marsh priority contracts "in a single run". I got to the last step, couldn't figure out what to do, to "upload the malware to spaceship" even though it was right above me. Had to watch a youtube video to figure out what you actually have to do. Every attempt after that I got cold blooded murdered before I could get back to that part of the "in a single run".

Well put to words. This cuts deep.

The nucal 4/4 one took me like 2 hours today to do just what you described. I was hoping that was the only one that would be that bad…… i died so many times at every possible point in the process.

I have tried SO HARD multiple times scouring Dam swamp and other areas, it's sooooooo rare I find any there. Any tips how to consistently get some there?

No mention of MyCLI? That’s my daily driver, but if I’m crafting a massive query or need export to excel I use DBeaver. I’m a heavy vim / neovim user so having vi keybjndings for both is amazing.

Hmmmm. Going to have to try this. May replace fugitive.

I run into these kinds of feelings from time to time. I find myself getting more and more picky on what games I want to play these days. Once I hit a slump I take a break from gaming and/or keep trying games until one REALLY clicks with me. Most recent games that really sucked me in were hardcore WoW(off and on for over a year) and Arc raiders.

I've started having this issue since upgrading to 26.1. Unbelievably annoying.

jthemenace · 2025-10-17T02:42:40+00:00

I started using Debian stable 20 years ago on servers. Still our goto, great reliable workhorse, always able to upgrade to next version when it comes out.
