Nope. Played it all the way through when it first came out. But haven't touched it since then.

I fired up fallout 1 after watching it.

A long time ago most airlines checked at least one bag free. I used to always do this and as op suggests, not stand in line. It was great not having to take a bag through security and haul it around through airports and connecting flights, and avoid the stress of if the overhead space would run out.

But airlines have done everything in their power to make boarding and the whole flying process miserable in attempt to suck every dollar they can from you for their upgrades and priority boarding.

I do often take advantage of the airlines offer to "we expect a very full flight, overhead space is limited, and will check your bag for free to your final destination"

I just built a amd 7600 system in January 2024 and had no issues. Not sure that counts as very new but it was for me!

I dumped ubuntu for debian 12 due to snaps, and i'm very happy so far. I run sway as my window manager. I guess we'll see how i feel in a year but i honestly can't think of any software i run that i'm simply fine with it not being the most recent. I'm even using the firefox-esr version that debian ships with and it's fine.

Have an amd card. Have never done any special steps to update my graphics card, as amd drivers are just built into the kernel. I used to have a nvidia card and it was like 2 or 3 commands to enable proprietary drivers and was then always notified and updated with my usual software package upgrades.

Granted i haven't run windows for over 15 years but I remember having to go to nvidia's website and manually download and install new nvidia drivers to update. Is this still true? If so, this is simply objectively worse.

I'll agree with a decent amount of gaming. Unless it's steam, getting wine set up, even with lutris, can be a hassle.

Same here. It's a great size. Probably going to hold on to it as long as possible. Keep being disappointed that newer pixels keep getting bigger.

I remember going on a serious old jazz kick and downloaded so much ella fitzgerald and other jazz after playing (replaying?) some of the fallout games.

Yup. I teach at a university. It used to be adequate for instructions to say something along the lines of

open the file C://Folder/anotherfolder/subfolder/document.ext

I encounter more and more students every year that have no idea how to do this.

My system did not already have that 20auto-upgrades file. I went through the others in the directory and none seemed to contain those relevant lines. I just checked my other ubuntu system, which did have the 20auto-upgrades AND a 10periodic with the same lines, which is likely redundant.

Looks delicious!

I never trust X minutes per pound. Meat thermometers are cheap and so useful.

Also, my Mother taught me the reverse sear method and that's my preferred cooking method for a prime rib.

Sway is basically the wayland version of i3. I've switched to wayland on my new laptop and learning sway after using i3 for years has been relatively easy.

As a latex and formatting snob, I will only say element abbreviations should not be italicized. H$_2$SO$_4$ is how I usually do formulas.

Kvaesitso is fantastic. Can get it on fdroid.

Yes, eat well!

Cooking can be fun, inexpensive, and rewarding.

Learn to cook chicken and fish dishes. Marinate a bunch of chicken breasts or boneless, skinless chicken thighs and bake in oven as needed. Super easy.

Eat lots of veggies. You can't get fat eating veggies. This also has the additional benefit of making it super easy to poop. Cut up and saute carrots, onions, brussel sprouts, spinach, or whatever you like. Frozen peas. Put on tv or listen to podcasts while you prep. Watch cooking shows for inspiration.

This is essentially my go to dinner for the past fifteen years when i decided i wanted to be healthier by exercising and eating well.

You're counting calories which is great. But don't worry about the number on the scale. If you have little muscle and are not super fat (23% isn't that fat) you will gain weight if you start building muscle.

My biggest suggestion would be to follow the starting strength workout 3 days a week. As a beginner, you're doing a bunch of worthless exercises. Stick with the barbell essentials, and pullups: deadlift, squat, bench, overhead press, bent over row, and pullups. These use lots of muscles and will best promote muscle growth. Go heavy, you should be really struggling to get that last rep. If you're not sore as hell after the first few workouts, you aren't lifting heavy enough. If you get all the reps you wanted to do, add 5 pounds the next time you do that exercise.

Stay away from the machines until you want to focus on really specific muscles.

Especially do deadlifts, it works a ton of muscles and nothing builds confidence like lifting a bunch of weight off the ground.

Watch youtube videos for form advice. Do a few warm up reps with really light weight, such as just the bar, to practice form. Ask others at the gym for form advice. Most lifters are super friendly.

As you get stronger, you can work in other things like biceps, triceps, dead hangs, etc.

Board games at a local game store. Many will have a board game night.

(1) When you scroll back up just a bit the top menu bar appears. In the three dot menu is "refresh" which will reload.

I just tried finding my posts via the websites for lemmy.ml and lemmy.ca and couldn't see any posts from our users. But i'm a lemmy dummy and maybe i'm screwing something up or not understanding.

Yeah there's definitely a learning curve. A little coding experience makes the task easier. I typically give my students a template that they put their own text into that includes a peer-reviewed journal format and an example equation, table, and figure.

There's still the "not so short introduction to latex" out there that helped me learn the basics back in the day.
