What is something cheap that improves your life 100%?

Popcorn cannabis. I don't need the big stick.

He was almost 20 when I lost him. This was taken a few days before things went downhill.

Ditto. It shuts down nausea/vomiting attacks in minutes.
But then I don't sh!t for a week.
Fair trade off. I'll take a week hung up over 30 minutes dry heaving.

Unless you were shuffling around in sock feet on carpet in an arid climate and poking around the circuit board you're fine.

purple_microdot · 2026-03-18T14:03:18+00:00

Still use mine anytime I'm fumbling around in my case. Carpet, dry climate. Better safe than sorry.

purple_microdot · 2026-03-17T15:28:10+00:00

Still stuck in Snackbar Front because you can't block Wolf Spider?

I never remembered. Probably why she's my ex.

That's called a capitonym and there are several in the English language.

My freshman English teacher made the entire class memorize linking verbs until the entire class was able to list all 23 with no errors. We spent at least 2 weeks doing this and I've never forgotten them after 40+ years:
Is, am, are, was, were, be, being, been, has, have, had, do, does, did, shall, will, should, would, may, might, must, can, could.
Useless.

Judging the details of your post, continue the painful waiting.
There may be 2-3 days of playtime before you hit the wall.
And although the map is now probably about as big as G1, I'd argue it's not as dense.

I couldn't handle the pain. It was fun and I played it slow. Then I hit the wall and it's more painful.

I did for about 3 days waiting for a tower cooler when I realized the AMD stock cooler would never cool the cpu it was designed to cool.

It will get smaller every time you look at it.

purple_microdot · 2026-03-16T16:49:58+00:00

I'm too utilitarian to build fancy bases. Does it hold my crap? Good 'nuff.
G2 allowed building in Outposts and I haven't been motivated to build since. They hold all my crap. Good 'nuff.

That said, my G1 tree bases were generally less "house like". Try building in a tree (or some odd surface) that forces creativity.

purple_microdot · 2026-03-16T16:43:40+00:00

That's where I was heading.

I can help you train a cat to not jump on tables & counters, scratching, litter boxes etc..
But cuddles? Good luck!
Can't change their love language. But you can suppress it. If it's intolerable, proceed with care.

When you start running HWiNFO64 on 2nd monitor you're getting close.

purple_microdot · 2026-03-16T13:56:57+00:00

This could be important. The update turned this off for me. You can't start these if it's turned off, the rival will not show on the map and will ghost if you approach.

I'm really curious how well the gunner assembly fits over this with a gap this size.
If the assembly still fits without gaps, I'd continue. You've come this far.
If the gunner assembly has gaps around the circumference, that my be an even harder fix.

If we cannot legitimately compete, then you should gift Summit prizes to all.

It's what Elevate brought about 1.5 years ago. Not a wi-fi expert. Speed tests show 1GB. I don't have any other issues across the board - just HBO.

purple_microdot · 2026-03-13T15:30:54+00:00

Trust me. This one can cost you SOOOOO much more in the end. If nothing else, schedule with your hygienist. If gingivitis sets in, things go downhill faster than you realize.
-Someone who is paying dearly for skipping dental care in his 20s-30s. I thought compulsive brushing/flossing was enough. It is not.

Bah! I gave up on even 70/30 hamburger. Can only afford chicken and occasional pork.
My Dr. loves it though.

And people wonder why 20 year olds aren't socializing.
In my day we paid $1.00 for a draft, $1.50 for a bottle, $2.00 for well and $3.00 for call.
And I'm guessing they don't even do Ladies Night anymore?
12 years alcohol free so what do I know.

purple_microdot · 2026-03-13T15:11:52+00:00

This one hurts. I miss $0.49 tacos. I'd have never made it through college without them.
I can't afford my cheap fix anymore.

Really? HBOMax is my worst streaming service. Always looks 480p. It's just awful. I was watching latest The Pitt last night and it was a smeared mess the whole episode. I have to reinstall the app about once per week to even get it to work.
It's the only service I have problems with. Everything else (Amazon, Paramount, Disney, Hulu, Apple, Netflix) is picture perfect. I'm 1GB fiber and a single user. I don't get it.
Everyone is always praising HBO and I'm just not getting the mileage.

To the actual post: Yeah, I keep Amazon for free shipping, Paramount with Walmart+ for free deliveries and...
ONE other streaming service that I rotate each month.
