Had no idea this was coming and VR seems like an incredible medium for a Deadpool game

Assuming you have a penis

Patience and pacing. Go slow and take your time, especially at the start. “Too much too fast” will usually accelerate the end of the fun.

If you feel yourself getting overstimulated, take short breaks as needed. Applying pressure to your prostate through your perineum can help calm things down if you’re approaching the “point of no return”. You can practice this yourself (it’s often referred to as “edging”) or with your partner, for the latter it’s important to communicate where you’re at and what’s going on so they’re not confused.

If it’s been a while since you’ve had an orgasm, getting one taken care of beforehand (either with your partner or before) will set you up to last longer the second round.

None of these are “immediate” solutions so it’s important to exercise patience and prepare your partner to do the same. With practice, you’ll condition your body to less overstimulated.

PNW

We called June “Junuary” because it still rained quite a bit. We didn’t have “Fire Season” when I was a kid, it was still safe to have campfires in August. There might have been a few days each summer where the temperature exceeded 100F / 38C. We didn’t have air conditioning, but it wasn’t really necessary. Summer weather was over by late September, but I don’t recall it ever being very “hot” once school started. It was mostly gray and rainy November to May.

Now, summer weather seems to start in May. It’s about to be 90F / 32C the next few days and I find myself wishing for more rain every June. There are forest fires every year, fire bans go into effect early to mid July, late summer the air is hazy and smells like smoke. There’s usually a solid week that exceeds 100F / 38C. Portable AC units are necessary for survival. I’m usually still wearing shorts and a shirt into the second half of October, my partner’s birthday is on the 20th and that’s been the last “long summer night” where we stay out until 2AM the past few years. Winter’s been a lot sunnier than it used to be, we usually get a “false spring” event in March. “April Showers” feel like they’ve been missing.

US, but I don’t know that should matter. Even in France, water comes from a variety of sources and boiling / using distilled water eliminates risk, no matter how small.

In my family’s commune (France), there’s a lot of calcium in the tap water - such that you could actually feel it on your skin and in your hair after a shower, appliances like the coffee maker got crusty deposits with use. My grandmother only drank bottled water, I wouldn’t put that through my sinuses even if it were boiled.

Yeah, you’re not supposed to use it when you’re fully congested because the water will just get trapped and sit.

There’s a bit of a learning curve and people hesitating can end up with the uncomfortable sensation of “water up your nose” but it really is awesome and life changing once you figure it out.

Every neti pot I’ve ever had recommends either:

A) Warming distilled water and adding salt

Or

B) Boiling filtered tap water, adding salt, and letting it cool down to warm.

If you can, run memtest86 to confirm memory errors are happening

Hardware gore

That’s the telltale pattern of VRAM issues If this system has dedicated graphics, there’s a high tool and skill ceiling to executing repair.

If this has integrated graphics, regular RAM gets used as VRAM and repair is easy as long as the memory is modular

There’s always the possibility that this is a silicon level issue in the GPU/CPU but those cases are statistically less probable

9mm Parabellum was designed by Austrian George Luger 10mm Auto was designed by FFV Norma AB of Sweden 5.56 NATO was developed in Belgium by FN Herstal, as was 5.7mm 7.62×39mm was developed by the Soviets

These European cartridges all use metric measurements

.223 Remington, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .40 Smith & Wesson, .22lr, .357 Smith & Wesson Magnum, .44 Remington Magnum are all American made cartridges that use decimals of Imperial measurements Original designer’s name gets includes because, well, capitalism lol

I think one of the few exceptions might be 6.5mm Creedmoor, developed by Hornady

In order to be exposed to this phenomenon, this 80 year old grandma would need to have two PCs for that purpose, which is rather uncommon. They’d also need to engage in more activities than you’re describing, because browser only Grandma probably doesn’t have any shortcuts.

I own a repair shop and interact with your average consumer / home user on a regular basis, so making these concepts understandable to them is not alien to me.

As an alternative, though, I have had to explain why leaving OneDrive running and paying Microsoft $2 per month would have saved them a few hundred dollars in advanced data recovery fees or maybe even have any data at all after a crashed head made confetti out of the platter.

I’ve also sent people to check OneDrive.com and have them skip that entire phase of work altogether. Compared to 10 years ago, data recovery cases are increasingly rare in my shop.

It might seem dead simple to you and I, but getting this type of user to manage a 3-2-1 backup themselves is hard work and is no likely to pan out in their favor.
