I do this with cold milk or creamer when making hot chocolate. Make a nice paste by continuously mixing it while waiting for the water to boil is plenty good enough and makes it much tastier!

Boy that’s… that’s one way to solve it I guess.

can we go back?

No!

I’d prefer GNU’s ddrescue just because I find it more robust and has better progress output. It’s functionally the same interface but lets you use a mapfile to resume sessions should anything happen to interrupt the copy.

Arguably I’m against this because you never know what’s going to happen and the conventional wisdom for appliances like this is to just backup any important configs, backup your containers and vms, then do a fresh install from the latest install media on the new disk followed by a restore of the backups. It might take a little more time but it’s negligible and allows you an opportunity to review your current configs, make necessary changes, and ensure your backups are working as intended.

Gran Turismo 4
Dirt Rally 2 Forza Horizons 4

And the godking itself, Burnout 4 Revenge and its understudy Burnout 3.

Bonus point to Extreme-G and G2.

I’m also going to mention Generally. It was a tiny game with a small dedicated community but gods damn if it wasn’t just super fun to make maps and play community created events/maps/contests.

According to this Blu-ray has some of the worst expected shelf life, with the exception of BD-RE.

Had no idea they had mod kits! Definitely gonna grab this and the N64 kit.

When did dramatized tv become misinformation? It wasn’t a documentary…

Properties are great when you can cache the computation which may be updated a little slower than ever time it’s accessed. Getter that checks if an update is needed and maybe even updates the cached value then returns it. Very handy for lazy loading.

It’s fun and interesting all the experimentation that went on back then. As someone deaf in one ear… it’s hard to truly appreciate, but I get it.

Which is extremely ironic because Fall Guys has the epic overlay that includes perfectly fine and working friends connection with any platform, including switch, PlayStation, epic launcher, and steam friends list. We play weekly. Why doesn’t every EGS game do this?

Edit: That is to say, a game launched via steam and on consoles works just fine without EGL.

Recommend making an image of it as disc rot and degradation will be a thing. DVD shelf life is pretty wide at 30-100 years.

How does one find a good financial advisor? How do you spot flakes or bad ones?

Actually, I just checked my voice assistant, it got CZM from “see-zed-em” just fine. American English settings on my phone with a PNW grey accent. In fact, saying “see-zee-em” failed more for me, thinking I said CCM or Cesium multiple times.

The thing to keep in mind if you go the peroxide/retrobrite route is that it makes the plastic physically more brittle and weaker in order to obtain the original coloring and the shell will yellow again at an accelerated rate unless you also coat it in something UV protective which will likely end up looking shiny or slightly off. I say just keep it as is and enjoy playing it while it still works.

New RPG tech tree just dropped.

Even funnier, in the office Pam says “Luke, this is your father. Come set the table for dinner.” in Michael’s Birthday episode from season 2. Obviously she’s not directly trying to quote the movie, but it’s clear the line was made up using the misquoted line you used as an example!

This was last year during the first IFT.

“Dude this is a Wendy’s restaurant”

Fun tidbit, DuckDuckGo has a bang for it, I use it all the time.

!a2 <program name you want to replace>

A2 has been changing a lot over the years. I have found it’s UX to be going in the wrong direction and it feels like it’s on a path towards too much ad monetization and spoiled trust. For now it seems fine still but it does list alternatives to itself which could use some love and support along the way as A2 grows.
