Rounded, that's a clean 42 light years.

I bet it's Golgafrincham.

The devs said at one point that some of the ideas in ToTK were supposed to be DLC at one point.

That's it. That's all some people are processing. "Oh it's just DLC." Facts don't matter. It doesn't matter that the reason it wasn't DLC was that they kept expanding on the ideas. It doesn't matter that the final product was a full game. "But they reused the map!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡"

The "it's just DLC lol" nonsense will persist until the end of time.

Hey, thanks for the follow up, I appreciate it. Everything is status quo basically. My spouse and I got out of the house a few times this month but that's pretty much it. We haven't had company since December I think (house is a disaster area due to the basement still being empty). Our friends are still going through their own things. It's like we just exist to pay bills and anything outside of that is considered a luxury.

ETA: trying to make friends at group therapy is... challenging. Everyone is there because they're messed up. Connections are still made sometimes, everything is fine, then they're just not there anymore.

Where the Hell is the righteous anger‽

The ember is still there. Once in a while it flares up. But it burned too bright for too long, and is part of the reason why I'm a cynical husk of a human being. I advocate for privacy-centric thinking among friends and family but it's either preaching to the choir (in the best cases), blank stares, or they've already got an Amazon speaker in every room just to turn the lights on/off and set timers.

tl;dr I'm tired, boss.

TIL. I thought she was Groucho's sister.

At least one neighbor has a stock box holding down the fort.

It was nice knowing you. Looking forward to meeting your AI replacement.

"Fun" fact: Bain Capital killed both TRU and KayBee Toys.

Kurzgesagt videos.

This is really the only part of your rant that I was familiar with. So I can confirm: Kurzgesagt really is one of the best things you can spend time watching.

The local cable monopoly supplies modem/router/AP combos that broadcast unsecured WiFi hot spots. For "convenience" of its customers.

Pre-submission edit: there may be an authentication page upon connecting to verify that you're a legit customer. I've never tried it personally and have no intention on doing so.

Interesting choice of 1st officer.

Please don't, we have enough. No need to excavate more.

Tap for spoilerI'm not entirely sure I agree with the layout of the format/dialog, but I figured I'd post it since nobody else has yet AFAIK

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Steps taken:

  1. Wake up
  2. Pop bloons
  3. Get out of bed (only when biologically necessary)
  4. Take pills
  5. Eat breakfast
  6. Sit on toilet
  7. Watch half a dozen videos on how to Do Thing
  8. Rest aching back by laying down
  9. Watch half a dozen videos about how to maybe not Do Thing and Do Better Thing instead (that will definitely take more than the day of work I had allowed for it, be backbreaking, and something I have never done before, but will also be more permanent and beneficial in the long run)
  10. Discuss Thing with spouse
  11. Nod off
  12. Open Big Box Hardware Store app and put supplies in cart
  13. Price compare Do Thing and Do Better Thing
  14. Fret about day getting late
  15. Get out of bed when absolutely biologically necessary
  16. Eat dinner
  17. Watch videos unrelated to Thing
  18. Post about it on lemmy as I watch the sun go down

Still left to do:

  1. Thing
