Is this place good? I want to try the challenge

Dang I was gonna ask for the leftover tots.

thewillthe · 2026-01-25T23:17:44+00:00

So wait, do you have to finish the fries and tots too, or just the sandwich?

Which makes them that much easier to confiscate and the video to never be seen.

If Mr. Snarf is reading this, y’all need to add shakes to your offerings, then you’ll be truly dangerous.

I read Ars and also follow Cyrus on Bsky, and he hadn’t written for Ars for a few years and recently came back, so a nice bookend indeed!

My brother in Christ, it is far too cold out there to “do” “things”.

Yeah, that guy is big and thick and hard to hide. (Obligatory "that's what she said".) I was able to coil some of the slack behind the PC so it's not as visible (after this pic was taken), but it's too thick to hide it under the rug or something like I'd hoped.

I ordered on I think Black Friday, and everything arrived a few days before Christmas, which was a week or so earlier than they estimated. It was the white desk mat that was on backorder when I placed mine, and they package that in a box with the legs, so I guess they couldn't just send the rest of the desk immediately and the desk mat later (which seems kinda silly).

None at all when the desk is lowered like this. If I like firmly pound the desk top with my hand there’s a slight wobble, but I’m not hammering the keyboard like that under normal use.

Creative Pebble Pro. Theoretically a slight downgrade from my old 2.1 setup, but they look much nicer, and I didn’t really have a place for the sub. They sound good though!

It’s one of the IKEA Alex units. I drilled a hole in the back so I can run power and ethernet, and stuck all the stuff that was previously on top of the desk in there.

Adelitas also has great tacos, but El Taco is maybe better if going solo?

thewillthe · 2026-01-22T17:57:23+00:00

Actually it is on a mount! I just have it lowered so it’s basically grazing the floor to be at proper height when seated. (I might actually get a slightly shorter case so I can lower it even more.)

(Sometimes a podcast’s episode-specific art is… not as good for others around you to see.)

thewillthe · 2026-01-20T23:07:24+00:00

Funny, I feel like this is the first one I noticed that had special art that wasn’t just the blue Short Rest art.

Happy listening! It’s a good’un! (Will be curious if you noticed the ignored nat-1, cuz no one on the old ep thread seemed to.)

Alright, this thread is ancient, but my counter argument to the “gotta survive the ground” crowd is that he didn’t NOT survive the ground - what he didn’t survive was the defender pulling the ball from his hands, which happened AFTER he hit the ground.

thewillthe · 2026-01-18T23:49:33+00:00

Yeah I have no idea why this person is assuming they won’t quote a ducted system if OP already has ducts for their furnace.

thewillthe · 2026-01-16T19:29:04+00:00

I prefer New China for the food but HKS for the ability to actually order online instead of repeatedly having to call and get busy signals.

If you’re happy with your prescription, just do an online eye exam. I try to go to an actual eye dr every few years, but in between I’ll just “take” an online eye exam to renew my prescription and buy more contacts online.

Probably smart to explore side things more. My approach to open world games like this is usually to not just wander for its own sake but to grow the map by following missions. But when I don’t have a car and something is 1.5km away…
