Hi, someone from Asheville checking in. Absolutely devastating here, much like Erwin up the road.
I’ve never been in a hurricane before this but it was absolutely insane. We’re so far inland, and so typically climate insulated. No one expected nearly this and it quickly overwhelmed everything we have. Just got soke cell back, I’ve heard potentially weeks for power for some and same on water.
Love your write up. I feel similarly, and many many randomizer runs (Archipelago.gg is great for it), speedruns, and classic playthroughs later I still find the atmosphere and music incredible
That is just one, I answered him thrice :)
The End from Return Of The Obra Dinn by Lucas Pope
The title theme from Hades
Rip and Tear from Doom 2016
Man, my parents were cool as shit about this. And I think it had really good consequences for me later on, like in college.
Sex was positively viewed, but strict about protection (rightly so), and drugs were described as a spectrum with weed being very low, and the scary drugs (heroine) being very scary. They were honest about wanting me to wait for drugs and booze till I was more adult, but let me have a few parties with friends where everyone crashed at their house. It was super fun, and very badass feeling. I got to college and was like … Meh? On partying.
Definitely not the only way to go about it, but the honesty helped me weigh consequences of it all a bit better, I think.
And it’s integrated into Archipelago.gg, which means you can randomize the alttp items with other games.
Temu Eva Braun is amazing.
I keep saying this but she’s somehow only 31. It’s astonishing.
Wow, really well said. Extremely important that everyone reads this info above
Edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger

She’s a terrible human being, for a variety of reasons, but also she’s somehow only 31?? The hate has aged her faster than Palpatine
Yup, I have a Litter Robot 4 and we love it. It saves a ton on little costs, but was a massive upfront cost.
Easier to travel and the litter stay clean, it’s always clean for the cats and they love it. We’re big fans.
Seconding OpenCourseWare. I used that a lot before and during undergrad (engineer with math minor).
I do recommend checking out the “fun” math videos as well because you’ll learn a lot and it’s fun, like Numberphile, 3 blue 1 brown, etc
Idk where to draw the line with it being illegal for them to sell real copies. Like, what if it’s a really good fake? Are they gonna send out each and every game? They can’t spend $20 making sure a $10 game is legit.
No clue what to do about it honestly
Oh huh, that’s interesting. I’ll definitely have to check that out
If they’re cheap and common games, I don’t think it’s a big deal to have fakes mixed in if it doesn’t bother the buyer either.
Now for more rare stuff, it matters more. Feels like mtg cards, where a certain threshold it should be graded for authenticity and condition
Actually, missing because of a high-side on a motorcycle years ago. I did break some bones, but also tore through the ligament. Well, I guess it died from lack of being attached or whatever and was gone by the time they got an MRI on it
It allowed the bicep to regularly pop out of the humeral groove, which I assure you was not pleasant
I had some chronic shoulder pain for years. Primary physician was like “yeah that sucks”. 2 specialists were like “yeah, old collarbone injury I guess? Take Advil”
Years later, third specialist opinion found a missing ligament and did surgery.
Moral of the story is that you should get a few opinions here, maybe the first isn’t right
From a philosophy standpoint, Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning. It’s a brutally tough read, but a very interesting perspective of a Holocaust survivor and some of the more “mundane” parts (which were still horrific) in between the parts most people know about. The philosophy that follows is interesting.
It’s certainly not without it’s faults and criticisms, though.
That’s a great article. I like the answer to the 90 tick marks:
“I bet I just put my compass down and kicked every 4 degrees”
AB tech has shelter available (near mission hospital), 88.1 has updates at 10 and 4 every day, i26 to the south is the only way in and out for civilians now. Stay safe everyone
